Hot Video Alert: Kate Bush - Deeper Understanding
On May 16th, English singer/songwriter Kate Bush will release a new album, Director's Cut, her first new album since 2005's Aerial. Technically a compilation, Directors Cut will feature re-interpretations of selected songs from previous albums, The Sensual World (1989) and The Red Shoes (1993). Released through Fish People/EMI the album will be available digitally, physically as well as in a deluxe boxed set. The first single from Director's Cut is "Deeper Understanding," a track that originally appeared on her 1989 album The Sensual World. The video is VERY bizare, yet very current in it's theme: man's dependency on technology. It's eerie, dark, sinister and intriguing. Bush directed the video, which stars Robbie Coltrane ("Hagrid" from the Harry Potter franchise - among other things) as the technologically-dependent, love-lorn protagonist. Download "Deeper Understanding" on iTunes HERE and pre-order Director's Cut HERE.

Neon Hitch Releases Hot New Track: Co-written by Switch, Produced by Benny Blanco
Folks, we have another HOT ONE on our hands! One of my favorite promising new talents, Neon Hitch, dropped a new track on her official SoundCloud page. Written by Hitch, co-written by Switch and produced by Benny Blanco the auto-tuned-to-holy-hell, dub step-infused "Silly Girl" sounds like something off of Robyn's Body Talk album, and I'm not talking about discarded trash that didn't make the final cut. This is serious! Listen to "Silly Girl" below and prepare to fall in love (again) with Neon Hitch.
Oh and if you happened to be living under a rock when I did my last post on Hitch, check it out HERE and watch the video for Hitch's first single (co-written by Sia) "Get Over U," which is available on iTunes for download. Hitch is signed to Warner Brothers Records/Reprise Records and plans to release her debut album, Beg Borrow and Steal sometime this year.
P.S. - Watch the lyric video for Sky Ferreira's "Traces" which I posted recently. Neon Hitch co-wrote that song, available on Ferreira's EP, As If.

Kylie Minogue Celebrates North American Tour with New Live EP
EEEEEEEEE! How excited am I? It's the eve before I see her royal Goddess, Ms. Kylie Minogue LIVE for the second time. Back during her 2009 U.S. tour, I flew home to Chicago to see her and tomorrow night, she's making an appearence in Boston, so I don't even have to travel. AMAZING! When I bought tickets to see Kylie's last tour, I knew she was going to be amazing but I had NO IDEA just how amazing. She is the consummate performer. She is a joy to watch, a joy to listen to and what's more, the girl can actually sing live - while dancing! The show was such a spectacle, I'm finding it hard to imagine just how she's going to top herself this time.
Kylie kicked off her North American tour on Thursday in Montreal and heads to Boston tonight for her first U.S. gig this year. The Aphrodite - Love 2011 World Tour will be Kylie's most extensive U.S. tour to date, seeing the pop pixie playing 16 shows including a 3-night stint at the prestigious Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, not to mention a return to the Hollywood Bowl in LA. Kylie will close her epic tour in an epic way, playing at Colosseum at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. After the North American tour is over, Kylie will bid America adieu and head home to Australia and to South Africa to continue on with the international tour. I'm so excited, I can hardly contain myself!
To help celebrate this momentous tour, Kylie's U.S. label, Astralwerks Records will release a new digital EP - North American Tour Bonus Edition - on May 3rd, featuring five live recordings. Three of those recordings were taken from Kylie's semi-acoustic BBC Live Lounge session, where Kylie sang "Can't Get You Out Of My Head," "All The Lovers" and "Get Outta My Way." The other two tracks - "Better Than Today" and "Confide In Me" - were recorded in New York City back in October 2009 during Kylie's last U.S. tour. The EP will also feature a short film featuring behind the scenes footage of Kylie on tour as well as original tour wardrobe sketches by Dolce & Gabbana.
As if this live EP wasn't enough to salivate over, Kylie will be releasing a new remix EP for the Starsmith/Stuart Price-produced, "Put Your Hands Up" on May 31st, featuring remixes from Pete Hammond, among others yet to be announced. Check out the remix below, which Kylie released as a show of appreciation to all of her European fans who came to see her on tour.
Aphrodite came out in America in July of last year and proceded to go all the way to #19 on the Billboard 200 chart, becoming her highest charting album in the U.S. Additionally, the album has scored three consecutive #1 songs on the Billboard Club Chart with “All The Lovers,” “Get Outta My Way” and “Better Than Today.” According to her press release, Kylie became "the first artist in the nearly 35-year history of the chart to claim two out of the top three songs on the chart when “Better Than Today” held the top spot and Taio Cruz’s “Higher” featuring Travie McCoy and Kylie ranked #3." Brilliant. The latest single lifted from Aphrodite, “Better Than Today” is Kylie’s 6th career #1 on the chart. I am beyond excited to see Kylie doing so well here in America AND beyond excited to see her live for the second time. Here's hoping she makes it back for a third. Check out a list of her tour dates below and make sure you grab tickets if you haven't already! Download all things "Kylie" on iTunes HERE.

Swedish Pop Star Sabrina KingQueen Leaves Label, Remains Optimistic About the Future
Back in February I named Swedish pop star Sabrina KingQueen (AKA Sabrina Petrini) one of my "Ones To Watch in 2011," and reporting that her debut album would be out in March. Well, clearly March has come and gone with virtually no word. Turns out there was a reason, and it's one that we hear about all too often in the music biz. On April 25th Sabrina KingQueen formerly announced that she has parted ways with Swedish label B.A.M. (Brash Accord Music). In the press release she states that the album (La La Land) has been recorded but that she was waiting on her label. Clearly nothing came of that waiting and Petrini decided to do what was best for her and her career.
This is definitely SAD NEWS but it sounds like it was the right decision. If the label isn't doing it's job, what more can you do? Severing ties was the only option. She has the passion and clearly wants to get music out there to the people, but not in a way that compromises who she is as an artist. Good for her for standing up for herself and her body of work. I'm confident that we will hear more from Sabrina KingQueen in the near future - and so is she.
"I want to say thank you to all my fans! Without you, I wouldn't have the need to fight so hard for all of this. Thank you to friends and family that have been there as well. I am strong but with you I am so much stronger. I won't let myself or anybody else down if I stand up and stand proud because I am not a quitter. This will take time but I know with you by my side it will all fly by fast and before you know it; I will have a new album, new singles, new videos and a new show for you all."Check out Sabrina KingQueen's full statement below the cut. Wishing you the best Sabrina! Come back to us soon!
To my friends, family, and most importantly my dear fans;
So this isn't easy, I am in the difficult situation of stepping away from the last 2 years of my life.
I am leaving my Label to free myself from the restrictions and difficulties that have been put in place by my Swedish label, B.A.M. (Brash Accord Music).
These 2 years were full of recording and working with my Swedish label B.A.M. (Brash Accord Music). It's like breaking up with someone you have been in a bad relationship with. The ups and downs of the past 2 years have made life amazing, but I also have a limit for what I allow myself to be a part of and when it comes to my art and passion, my Music.
This decision comes as a very difficult one, but based on how I view my future and musical direction, B.A.M. and I can no longer work together.
I have recorded my album La La Land and have been waiting for my label to keep the deadlines on promotional items. Its now 3 months later and I still don't have what I need in my eyes to share my art with all of you.
The A&R Rep refuses to answer the tough questions through emails or by phone about work. My management can't do their job without proper communication and I can't do my job if I stay with this label.
I love the work I have done, I love all my babies (my songs and album). But I also need to protect them with putting them down for a while until all of this is sorted out.
Don't worry, I am not a quitter, this is not in anyway keeping me from working on the future. Now I have even more to write about and another story to tell the world. The time has come and it's time for new projects and new experiences to explore. I can't wait to share all the new things with everyone.
I have already started connecting dots with a new team and I finally feel like I have met new members of my little family.
I pray for this to be a fast process and that the label will let me go in peace. We have had our good times but also a lot of bad times. Sometimes you meet people that understand exactly what and who you are and sometimes they just don't.
I hope that the label understands why this is the point we have come too, but at the end of the day, I am blessed to have a manager that is there for me and a team that supports me to the fullest.
With this I want to say thank you to all my fans! Without you, I wouldn't have the need to fight so hard for all of this. Thank you to friends and family that have been there as well. I am strong but with you I am so much stronger. I won't let myself or anybody else down if I stand up and stand proud because I am not a quitter.
This will take time but I know with you by my side it will all fly by fast and before you know it; I will have a new album, new singles, new videos and a new show for you all.
I LOVE YOU
xoxo
SABRINA KINGQUEEN
