Right Round - Flo-rida featuring Kesha

It was just around a year after Flo-Rida came up with this new one, with a big potential to capture for another time the great success he did with his debut single ‘Low’. More electro element is included in this one, with the less emphasis on the rapping in the single. It might not be a mind-blownin’ single if something new and quirky is what you’re looking for in music. The single just contains good enough of elements to enable it to be labeled as one of the great mainstream hip-hop single, it could be another big hit for him, it seems.

Everybody Knows - John Legend

The third single from his latest album seems brought back the John Legend that we use to know. It’s really great to listen to him doing something soulful this time around, which the beats are now lighter compared to ‘Ordinary People’, and still manage to enable the listeners to relate and connect to it. Another great piece for the Grammy winner!

My Life Would Suck Without You - Kelly Clarkson

Stunning comeback for our American Idol herself! It’s thrill to have her back and her yet another fast-beat lead single. Of course it’s been a while to have music like this and you might be blown away the very first time you heard this single, but the more you listen to it, the more you found its similarity to her previous lead single back in 2004, although this is a more elevated and developed version of that it seems. It’s just an info sharing anyway as it is still another great piece from this young lady. Get ready cause we might have more music like this from her again!

Beat Goes On - Madonna featuring Kanye West

the collaboration that’s…hmm unexpected and fresh, perhaps? Well we might not get the reason why Madonna redoes the track, with Kanye this time around, but at least it brings some fresh elements to the track. It’s nice to see her out of her zone once in a while, with the condition she doesn’t mess it up and let the ‘Madonna’ fades away just like that. Thumbs up for Madonna and Kanye for the nice work!

Burn - Jessica Mauboy



We had a more moving one last time, and here comes this one just showed us she’s capable to nail the dance music as well. It’s clear that she’s more to the experimenting and testing the water, as trying to identify which direction she should go for her music. It’s not the track that could sets her from everybody else apart yet, or perhaps determine the kind of music that she shall do in the future, but at least it’s a good try. She’s almost there, with the potential she had, making far won’t be a big issue for her it seems.

How Do You Sleep? - Jesse McCartney



We definitely couldn’t deny his talent. As we’re still talking about how much he’d grown up with his music this time around, he had this one out proven to be another strong reason added to that. It’s obvious that he doesn’t ‘explore’ the future pop just like Justin did with his, but that doesn’t mean his music turned out to be underwhelming. It can be seen as the elevated and matured teen pop music, keeping the youth and fresh from the teen pop, but added the more mature element into the music. Check out the remixed version as well, with a different feel added to the single.

Please Don't Leave Me - P!nk



When we all thought that ‘Sober’ did marvelous job showcasing her ability to shine with tunes that are more sentimental, this following single just mind-changing, in a good way of course. This is probably the reason why we have to love her so bad and so much when it comes to her music. The ‘silent intense’ in the tune can most probably be classified as the main attraction of the track, as it really sets the mood perfectly, making it easily being connected by the listeners. Simple but brilliant, and the pop rock diva just never disappoints.
