For the second time in two days we are posting a second video for the same song, make any sense?

Last week who showed you the new video for OkGo’s second single, This Too Shall Pass. It was a monstrosity of amazement.

Turns out there is a second music video for the song, which was released just before it’s counterpart.

It’s not as amazing as the new video but it’s still pretty quirky.

If quirky is your thing then check it out below.

Oh Hark!

The very talented and beautiful Lisa Mitchell has had probably the best start to her career anyone could have imagined.

Signing worldwide record deals, Touring the globe and just last week, Winning the Australian Music Prize for Best Album.

Well Deserved.

Now up to her third single, from the album Wonder, Lisa is set for another hit with Oh Hark!

Oh hark! is a bit more upbeat than the previous two singles,but somehow incorporates a dark image to perfection.

Telephone

The second coming has arrived and surprise, it’s not Christ.

In all my many years of writing and listening to music, there has never been as much hype for a Music Video as there is for the new Lady Gaga Video.

It’s Beyond ridiculous.

Fans and online netizens have been waiting more than six months for this video to Gaga’s Second single, Telephone. The Song features Beyonce and has been a fan favourite since it’s release last year.

Telephone is an incredible pop record, with extremely high quality production from Darkchild, Gaga has her best hit since Pokerface.

As for the video, before you watch it make sure you have the time, because it is 9 and a-half minuets long.

Also if you have a problem with Corse Language or Nudity, this is not the video for you.

I am not sure if the Video is better than the Video for Bad Romance but it’s certainly up there, I’m still undecided. One thing that is for sure is that this video is very strong visually and it will leave some very iconic images in the pop world.

FYI – The video is suppose to be a continuation of the Paparazzi video, if you want to see it first Click Here.

Without further adieu, here it is.

Do Wah Doo

UK Songstress Kate Nash has spent the last 12months writing a new record for our listening pleasure and I am very happy to say it’s not far off.

Expected to be released mid April, My Best Friend Is You is the follow up to Kate’s critically acclaimed debut Made Of Bricks. The First taste we get from the new record is the single titled Do Wah Doo, a up-beat poppy track that takes on much more of Kate’s live sound.

It’s not the best song Kate has made, but I’m still excited to see what the full album can deliver. In the mean time check out the video for Do Wah Doo Below!

Upside Down is the new single from UK Soul/Pop singer Paloma Faith.

Her debut album, Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful, was released last year and has received a fair bit of critical acclaim.

Her video for Upside Down was released this week, it somewhat reminds me of Lily Allen’s clip for The Fear. Check it out below..

Imma Be Rockin That Body

The Black Eyed Peas are currently experiencing the sort of success that newcomers could only dream of.

The  group has always been popular, selling millions of records in their long career. But this foursome is taking the next step in their career, asserting themselves as artists who can have 5, No.1’s off just one album and sell in excess of 20Million copies of just one of those singles. Predictions say that the group have sold more than 35Million singles off this latest album, The E.N.D.

With those sorts of figures, it’s not such a shock when you see they have spent a pretty penny on their new Music Video. The Pea’s have two new singles, one for the US, Imma Be, and another for the rest of the world, Rock That Body.

Instead of making two separate Music videos for the singles, someone made the decision to mix the two together.

Both the songs cross-over each other in a futuristic, effect laden, Mini Movie. This MV which runs at over 10min seems to be the vision of a little boys fantasy. It’s not the most amazing video ever, but it gets a pass.

This is the first and only track I am posting from Rihanna’s latest album, which came out last year. The main reason is, I was really disappointed with the managment of the record and didn’t think it deserved promotion.

But all of a sudden someone in Rihanna’s camp decided to actually put some effort into promotion and release a song which has potential to be played on radio.

The new single is called Rude Boy and the video has just been released, very reminiscent of M.I.A.
