"Handle Me" by Robyn.




She is one crazy lady. if you dare to, you will remember her from her pop smashes 'Do You Know (What It Takes)' and 'Show Me Love.' Now that she's no longer a US pop label machine, running her own music label just for her music, sure she's still producing pop, but it's much more refined and ...just orgasmic. check out her entire album, Robyn, which debuts in the US on December 4th, though it's been out for two years in Sweden.

"Get Back" by Britney Spears

from her as-yet-unreleased album, Blackout. ok. everyone has his or her own opinion about britbrit. sure, she's a crazy-fucked addict that needs help. i've been there. i've been down the road of insanity called addiction and alcoholism. but, seriously, she has to reach rock-fucking bottom (again?) before she wants to get help. so...let her do it. fuck her.

anyway, about the song. this is one of a handful of tracks from the Demo leak that I really love. I WILL be buying her CD. Yup. This, Kala and Good Girl Gone Bad will sum up my 2007 Purchases. just download the track. love it, loathe it. whatever. do it.

1. "Candy Shop" by Madonna

Full, HQ rip, from her as-yet unreleased next album. Much better than The Beat Goes On. Take a listen :D

edit: I much preferred the Dub of this song, sadly. The production track is thin, sounds like Pharrell imitated Timbaland horribly, her voice is cloying, and the lyrics are in-between. maybe madonna found a genre she can't own?




2. A Modern Midnight Conversation by The Chemical Brothers.


Funky Town sample? check. Awesome running bassline? check. Usual AMAZING Chemical Brothers production? check. European woman singing 'Listen to your heart/don't run away'? Check. this song is too catchy. from the first time i heard it, it's been in my head at least once a day. a decent album, too.

1. "Gimme More" by Britney Spears

"it's Britney, bitch!" the track calls out at the beginning, and y'know...it's good to hear her again in the studio, purring away as the pop sex kitten she was.

and, finally, something comes of britney that isn't total shit. i'm glad for it. it's a pretty nice single, but i don't know if it's going to revive her career, but out of the three singles that have leaked so far, this one's the best. is that saying much? i don't know. you decide. supplementary single, "Cold As Fire"




2. "Good Life (Explicit)

my favorite track off of Graduation so far. i think graduation will definitely be the album to put 50 cent outta the solo world. (you know, he said if Kanye's Graduation sold more than his Curtis, he was going to quit his solo career) well, I look forward to no more magilla the gorilla records.

now, about the single. he samples "P.Y.T." from Thriller by Michael Jackson, which is one of my favorite singles of all time and it is a complete earbug. love it. love this single. Also, Kanye finally gets T-Pain to guest on a track where T-Pain doesn't sound like a robot Cher wannabe. Congrats on releasing your inner talent, T-Pain. Not bad. Commendable, even.
