The Best Cut From '18 Months'

Dj-Songwriter-Extraordinaire Calvin Harris' third album 18 Months has been released to an array of opinions, ranging from the praiseful to the, well, less-appreciative. All that aside, I really just need to take a moment to share one of my favorite and most-listened to cuts of the album.*

I know we've all had our obsessions with Kelis' return to glory with "Bounce" and the unstoppable Florence Welch's spectacular feature on "Sweet Nothing," but neither of these is the true banger. That award rests with the Dillon Francis-produced "Here 2 China (feat. Dizzee Rascall)." Full of the club-sized beats Harris is known for, layered with Francis' bouncing production, the track nails down it's success with Dizzee's best feature since "Heavy" with Chase & Status. I said it.

I mean, how can we ignore the brilliance of the track? When a song talks about Dizzee's ability to literally get it in accross the world, it's a sure sign that the hip-hop star has really arrived. Joking aside, I really hope the track gets Dizzee the attention he so deserves. In the battle of the Brit rappers, Tinie has seemingly taken the US by storm, stupid nasal grunts and all, while Dizzee has been waiting in the back for his chance to shine. Take a listen to "Here 2 China" and try and convince me that it's not fantastic.

*The other best track on the album would have to be the almost-perfect "I Need Your Love (feat. Ellie Goulding)." Shocking, I know.

This Video Is Literally Everything

The always stunning and spectacular Cheryl Cole has finally released the video for her latest single, "Call My Name" from her third official studio album, A Million Lights, which will drop in the UK on June 18th. The video for the Calvin Harris-produced track was shot in downtown Los Angeles by Anthony Mandler and is just what we needed of Chezza. It's basically a ton of glamourous shots of the former Girls Aloud star looking fierce and better than ever. It also doesn't hurt that the track is equally as stunning - I mean, really, how do you not break out in dance when the beat drops? Check out Cheryl's new video below!

Chezza Is Back

Cheryl Cole, my favorite Girls Aloud member (well, she's tied with Team Ginge's Nicola), has released her latest single, "Call My Name." The track is the first single off her upcoming album A Million Lights, which will drop in the UK on June 18th. The track is the latest collaboration of Calvin Harris with [celebrity name] and it's actually not quite what I was expecting. After a series of radio hits such as "We Found Love," "Let Go," etc. I was expecting something almost as dull after 3 listens. However, after multiple listens "Call My Name" only gets better. The chorus is deliciously addicting and hopefully this will be enough to give Chezza's career the resurgence that it needs.



Also, the video for "Call My Name" will be out on May 2nd and from the shots that have been released, Cheryl is look just as fierce as always.

Disclaimer: I would like it to be noted, however, that should this track pose any threat for a Girls Aloud reunion, I will bash it to no avail.

Oh, The Scissor Sisters Have Another New Single?

That's right, they sure do, and if you haven't heard it by now, I'm pretty sure you need to get out from the cave and take a listen. The track, "Only The Horses" is produced by none other than hit-legend Calvin Harris and features my true love's, the Scissor Sisters, duh, doing their genius pop-tastic brilliance in it's truest form. Genius in both it's production and ultimate craftsmanship, "Only The Horses" is a fantastic release to follow up the Sisters' recent release, "Shady Love." Take a listen to the new track below and let us know what you think!
