Paul Oakenfold: "Venus (ft. Azealia Banks) (Ibiza Edition)"

It's no secret that I'm obsessed with Azealia Banks. The Harlem rapper has been on my radar since way back when she was featured on the Scissor Sister's "Shady Love" early last year. She's since gone on to release a fantastic mixtape (Fantasea) and a really good EP (1991). While we're still waiting on an actual release of her debut album, Broke With Expensive Taste, she's still given us some nice treats (ahem, "YUNG RAPUNXEL"anyone?).

Baby Come Home

The Scissor Sisters have released the video to their latest promotional single, "Baby Come Home" off their fourth studio album Magic Hour. The video features the foursome in a series of odd costumes and situations all against a pretty trippy backdrop, all of which work nicely together. I like the sound of "Baby Come Home" quite a bit and it's a nice change from the more electronic, clubby sound the band has been showing lately. That being said, Magic Hour is absolutely their best showing yet, and if you haven't had a chance to check it out already, you should probably do so!

Let's Have A Kiki

Today, the Scissor Sisters released a new promo single off their upcoming fourth studio album Magic Hour out May 28th. The track is called "Let's Have A Kiki" and it's very...interesting. Essentially, imagine all the drag queens that you know, then add all of their drag queen friends, and listen to them sit down and talk over a '90s-infused beat. That's "Let's Have A Kiki," in a nutshell. IT's definitely an odd track to listen to, but the beat is so deliciously Scissor Sisters, it's just ridiculous. Magic Hour is preparing itself to be probably the most gay-friendly album of 2012 and "Let's Have A Kiki" should get the gays more excited than they were for Born This Way. (If still not convinced, see: "Shady Love" and "Only The Horses")

Words Have Officially Escaped Me

The Scissor Sisters have released the latest video for their second single, "Only The Horses" off their upcoming album Magic Hour. I'm currently unable to formulate sentences about the video, so here are a few bullets to accompany it's viewing:

• Horses running in slow motion. Never stops being awesome.
• The horses are tied to something...
• The Scissor Sisters covered in paint
• Jake Shears is covered in paint. Dying.
• Paint being taken off in reverse. In slow-mo. Officially dead.
• What the hell is that pyramid? 
• Paint exploding out of the pyramid.

This isn't real life and I'm not sure how I feel about it. The slow motion is what makes the video, oh and Jake Shears, too. It might not be the electro-pop banger we've been waiting for, but the production is insane and spot-on.

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!

My First Favorite Single of 2012

Is the new track by the Scissor Sisters, 'Shady Love'. I've always been a fan of the Scissor Sisters, and this does little to question the devotion. Jake Shears rapping with up-and-comer Azealia Banks, who was on the shortlist for the BBC Sound of 2012 list, if you recall, absolutely makes the song. "Now she's touching on my booty, and she's rolling all my beatuty, I forget to get my duties, so mmm huh, mmm huh," anyone?

Yeah, I'm obsessed, too.  I also love that the group has slightly tweaked their sound ever so slightly and it's only doing them favors. This also has served as the new buzz track from the band's new album, which as of now is untitled. I am beyond excited to see the work the group has put in to the new album and if can't come soon enough. Til then, enjoy!
