Released October 16th

Lana Del Rey - Video Games


Lana Del Rey, which is the stage name of American Singer/Songwriter Elizabeth Grant, was born in New York and is a promising young artist who's recent tour sold out in just half an hour. 

Video Games is her debut single, this beautiful track combines her amazing voice with the soothing sounds of Harps throughout this song which just makes u melt. This is the perfect song to just completely relax too or to reminisce about times gone by. I feel this track has very strong influences from Artists such as Florence and the Machine and Paloma Faith.

I completely adore this song and recon lots of other people do as well, which is why i think it will do EXTREMELY well once released.



Nicki Minaj ft Rihanna - Fly


In the world of Hip Hop and R'n'B 2011 is the year of Nicki Minaj, she has completely taken over the top of the charts with every track she has released and has featured on tracks with some of the biggest artists around such as David Guetta, Tres Songz and Drake. Nicki Minaj is signed to Lil Wayne's record lable Young Money Entertainment and featured on their track Bed Rock in 2010.

Fly is the latest single to be released from her latest album Pink Friday and features Another massive artist Rihanna. This track is all about being the best and not letting people put you down, with the chorus stating "I came to win, to conquer, to thrive," and Nicki Minaj rapping "They got their guns out aiming at me, but i become Neo when they aiming at me." 


This track also featured on the judges house section on this years X Factor with one of the contestants singing both parts. Even without this exposure the song would be huge but with the extra coverage this song is only going to prove that Nicki Minaj is becoming an unstoppable force in the world of R'n'B.

Released October 2nd 2011

Delilah - Go

Delilah is a British singer songwriter who  featured on Chase and Status track "Time" which got to number 21 in the UK Chartat the beggining of 2011."Go" is the debute single from Delilah and features a sample from the 1980's hit "Aint No Body" by Chaka Khan. 

This song starts with a backing beat that keeps you hyptnotised all the way through and a vocal that is amazing but slightly haunting, this track gathers momentum from start to finish and ends with a mellow Drum and Bass beat that doesn't feel out of place. This song can suit any mood, whether your on your way out to a nightclub or you just want to relax at home. 

This is an amazingly beautiful song from a very talented women, im predicting big things from this track. 



Evanescence  - What you want

Evanescence are an American Rock Band from Arkansas U.S.A and are famously fronted by Amy Lee. They have produced many albums and have had a couple of massive singles here in the U.K such as "Bring me to Life" and "My Immortal"."What you want" is the first single to be released from their forthcoming album coming out later in the year.

Amy Lee is well known for her amazing voice and this song is no difference, mixing that with very heavy guitar riff in the background this track is definately the usual Evenescence sound. Even though it is a great mix  the end product is very satisfactory and the song doesnt go anywhere. Im a big fan of some of their early music and this track doesn't live up to their reputation. 

Even though there are good bits in the track i can't see this making an impression on the U.K Charts as music has evolved and i don't feel this Band has evolved with it.
