Lil Wayne Remixes Roman's Revenge

The remix for Nicki Minaj Roman's Revenge has been released and it feature the MC's mentor Lil Wayne. Listen below:

Wow......wow.....wow. I didn't think Lil Wayne could add anything to the already EXPLOSIVE track but I was supa wrong. The tracks actually holds its own against the original, which is a pleasant surprise, but can someone please throw Eminem back on this and release it as the official remix!

Britney is BACK!!!!

Bless Xtina's soul! She performs 2 zillion times in order for her single and album to succeed then she ends up failing...horribly. Then Britney Spears has the nerve to drop Hold It Against Me with her largest amount of promotion being her sending out a tweet (well somebody sent it out cause we all know B. Spears thinks the computer is a  metal box where spirits talk to you) and then it goes #1 on Itunes in 17 countries.  Christina I'm mad for you!!!

Hold It Against is the type of track that your fave would sing and end up flopping, simply because the song key selling point is Britney's vocal delivery. B. Spears voice is just a charming and distinctive as it was when she first came on the scene. The singers dishes out breathy vocals a trancey dance beat, then shifts to a pre-chorus similar to that of "Shattered Glass" from her Circus album, before talk-singing the bridge over a INSANE dubset beat. All and All the numbers speak for themselves HIAM effortlessly re-introduces Britney to current music climate without losing an ounce of Britney sound.


I dub this a CRACK TRACK!

Robyn's Hang With Me Video

Hang With Me the official 1st single from Robyn premiered last week, and this week we have the video. Check it out:

A simple yet effective video to go with an amazing song. Robyn does it again!

Katy Perry's Teenage Dream

"California Gurls" has finally end it's run as the #1 song after 6 consecutive weeks, but with all bad news there has to be some good. Well the good news is that we have with Katy's second single "Teenage Dream"

Oh Katy will you ever allow me to see you as more than naive California teenager who Gummy Bears hate? I hope not, because Teenage Dream is a great! Trading beachy fierceness for a more guitar driven sound is a great idea.  The song like California Gurls showcases Katy's unique voice and quirky lyrical content, but this time Katy is singing with passion from Venus as she reminiscences about the times she spent with her boyfriend. Radio is going to devour so much of this, they're need to have their stomachs pumped. Mark my words This album is about to become the sleeper smash of 2010!

Christina Aguilera - You Lost Me (Official Video)

You Lost Me is waking me up better than my caffeine laced coconut coffee! I really liking this song and hope it regenerates interest in her Bionic album.

It's a Plane, No it's an Actor...Oh No Wait..... Now Their a Singer{sigh}

Since the beginning of modern entertainment, where there was film and television there was music. Then one day actors and actress said screw this, I have a bad to great voice and I want to be a singer! Now we've been blessed, cursed, and entertained by these musical "artist"

So I decided to post my favorite actresses who turned into singers:

Janet Jackson - Alright

Janet caught her 1st major break as Penny on Good Times, but later went on to become one of the biggest recording artist of all time. The true queen of the triple threats had so many songs to choose from, I just picked the first song that appeared on my Ipod!

Hilary Duff - Fly

Lizzie McGuire may have turned her into Disney's first major star of late 90's, but her music career generated her a loyal fanbase beyond the tween and teen world. Fly is just pure candy coated rock(pop), how can you not love it?

Jennifer Lopez - Jenny From the Block

I really hope Jenny prays and thanks the original Mexican Queen Selena everynight, because without her role in Selena's movie she'd probably  remained a background dancer.Though Jenny From the Block isn't my favorite Jenny song, I think it gives a great summary of who she was and how far she's come.

Lindsay Lohan - Rumor

Long before Lindsay was being immortalized on Robot Chicken or going to jail because of her substance abuse problems, she was an actress who starred in numerous movies like the Parent Trap before starting an on and off again singing career. Rumors is the single that sparked my interest in Lindsay and made me realize that was really a triple threat.

Jennifer Love Hewitt - BareNaked

After staring in the I Know What You Did Last Summer series Jennifer made the leap into a music with a mildly successful career. BareNaked has always been a stand out track from her amazing catalog.

T.I. Video Clip & Song

With the premiere of TI's new video for the single "Got Your Back" drawing near(VH1 will debut it this weekend) I decided to post the song so some of you could get acquainted or others re-acquainted. Also checkout the 30 second sneak peek of the video here!

I'm diggin' this song and the chorus is so repetitive that its guaranteed to quickly implant itself in the the memory of its listeners.

Robyn Dances for Her Life at Letterman!

International electro star Robyn stopped by the David Letterman show to perform her hit "Dancing on My Own"

Robyn came to the Letter Show with no other purpose but to shut that ish DOWN! She gave the viewers an entire meal including: band appetizers, vocal main course, and for dessert she served a huge helping of Swedish hardcore dancing. I mean come on, isn't her dancing style the most intriguing thing you've seen on TV in a while?

When will your faves.... oh forget it they never will{sigh}

New Mike Posner

Mike Posner has a new song available via Itunes entitled "Please Don't Go". Peep it below:

Another great track from Mr. Posner, and I could even go as far to say that I like this song a zillion times more than "Cooler Than Me." Please Don't Go is laced with sounds similar to my favorite game Sonic on the Sega!(How did you like the trip back in time?) Posner does a great job merging pulsating electropop sounds with elements of urban music. I just hope he doesn't become a super douche like Justin Timberlake...

Robyn's Hang With Me

We now have the official 1st single from Robyn's Body Talk part 2 called "Hang With Me"

I can tell this is a great song which utilizes Robyn's signature vocals over a "energized" electropop production, but of course you know I'm still on my "Dancing On My Own" high! So once that wears off I will be able to truly appreciate this great slice of pop cake. Robyn is really going IN with her Body Talk series.

Using your unclouded judgment tell me what you think!  

Wynter Gordon is OK with Dirty Talk

Below you can view Wynter Gordon's new video for her single "Talk Dirty"

I'll add my fifty cent with your dollar later!

So drop me a comment!

Radio Saved the R&B Star

On my way to work this morning I was listening to the radio when I heard a song that really caught my attention. It sounded very similar to Ciara's Promise or something you would hear on the Evolution. Since I was already late I had to rush out of the car and missed the mystery artist's name. So I began my search to find out who this singer was. It can't be Ciara because she's still trying to figure out when she's going to drop her album and my next thought was Dondria but it wasn't her either. So thanks to Twitter I was able to contact Tasha Simone, the radio personality who played the song, and she informed it was Arika Kane!

Arika is signed to BSE recordings. She says, "I was always a big fan of music. I grew up smack in the middle of big hits like Mariah Carey's "Vision of Love," and "Vanishing," and Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love." These were very powerful songs which had a huge effect on me. They had me hooked!"

Check out 4 The Lovers

I officially feel accomplished and refuse to do any work for the rest of the day! 4 the Lovers is a smooth sexy joint that is meant to be spreading like wide fire all over urban charts! She needs a MAJOR push right now, because she's too FIYAH for her to not have the music world buzzing. So i'll start the buzz here at Venue808. Arika I didn't know who you were until now but with songs like this you're about be on the Venue808 List!

And a special thanks to @TashaSimone for the info! Keep rocking my radio!

The Script is Back

The Script has released their first single "For The First Time" from their new album Science & Faith. Listen below:

I like it and every alcoholic around the world can relate to drinking some cheap wine during a hard time in their life. It's a great heart felt ballad that should do well in the UK.

Introducing Mishon

Due to my sister being a super Lincoln Heights stan I actually know Mishon, but currently he's working to make the transition from television star to pop star. He's signed to Dynasty Records/ Streamline/Interscope Records and his album is titled The Yearbook.


Checkout his new single Turn It Up featuring Roscoe Dash:


The male urban artist game has been really slipping lately! The only artist out are Trey Songz, Usher, and Chris Brown is crawling his way back into the hearts of music lovers. So it's really good to see some fresh young talent bring new energy to the urban pop game. He has a nice voice, fluid like dance movements, and a good personality from what I've seen. Then his music is great for the tweens and teens across the country. I call it Itunes/ringtone magic crack tracks. I think we've found our next superstar. Add him to the list!

Now Playing

As you guys know I like to feel you in on what I'm obsessing over from time to time. Currently it's ice cream cake and Community the TV show. However, on the musical side I can't stop listening to Britney Spears' "Phonography" Listen below:

                     

Britney where has this dirty hi-tech track been all my life?!? Only Britney could and would compare sex in using an inanimate object like a cell phone. The definition of trashtastic!

Miley's 2nd Single is....

Now done with the trashtastic Can't Be Tame , Miley has decided to release Two More Lonely People as her second single from her album Can't Be Tamed.


It's pretty good and what's even better I can see it recapturing some of the tween fans she loss after "Can't Be Tamed" was released. It's a nice song and that's my main problem with it, there's nothing extraordinary about the song. But hey I'm 22 and like Prince's hookers in training group Vanity6. At best I see this song charting within the top 20 or top 10 simply.

Kylie at the Alan Carr Show

Pop icon Kylie Minogue stopped by the Alan Carr Show to perform her second single "Get Outta My Way"





Great performance as usual, from one of the worlds best performers of all time.

Auburn in my Hair!

Auburn is a new artist signed to Beluga Heights Records/Warner Bros. Her new single La La La, features Iyaz, and can be heard below:

La La La is hella catchy! It's like when gum got stuck in my hair and my mom had to cut chucks and chucks of my afro off. The more hair she cut, the more gum appeared. (Try going to school with patches of hair missing from your head)Auburn's song is like that gum it just won't get out of my head! She's using the perfect formula to find success on the charts, like working on J.R. Rotem(Jason Derulo), using a bit of autotune, and having Iyaz featured on the infectious urban pop track.

SideEye: She gives me the same vibe Ciara gave me during her Goodies era...and we see how well that album did!

Trey Wants Nicki Bottom Up?

Below you can grab a ear full of Trey Songz featuring Nicki Minaj "Bottoms Up"  

Push me down a million stairs because I never thought I'd see the day when I instantly liked a song that had anything to with the singer Trey Songz. To save face I'll pretend Nicki IS the reason I like it.

Usher's New Video

Below you can watch the video for Usher's single "There Goes My Baby" 



Okay on a serious tip until this morning I thought this song had already been released and flopped.Then they moved on to that crappy OMG song.  However, I was very wrong it's actually doing pretty good on the urban charts. I actually always enjoyed "There Goes My Baby" behind the trashtastic "Daddy's Home". As for the video...well it's an Usher video, so if you've seen one you've seen past, present, and future.
