“The Boy Is STILL Mine, ho!” – Brandy and Monica Hit the Studio Together Again

HOLD THE BLOODY BURGER PHONE!! The second and third (respectively) best 90s pop/R&B princesses, Brandy and Monica (don’t even bother asking who number one is, it should go without saying) are teaming up again on a new track for the first time in 14 years! Monica done did a tweet yesterday letting slip that she was up in the studio with her pal. SEE!

Other than the fact that I’m actually quite upset that they’re mates irl, I was secretly hoping they were still beefing over Mehki, I’m mostly stoked on this as I look forward to reenacting the song with my frenemy du jour, much like I’ve done with ‘The Boy Is Mine’ quite regularly since 1998, ASAP! So let us just take a moment to recall the majesty that was the last time they hit the studio together, shall we?

Jay-Z made a song featuring his newborn baby and I’m crying!

SHE’S HERE! The offspring of the most divine power couple since Orpheus and Eurydice that is Queen Bey and Hov, HRH Blue Ivy Carter, finally decided to grace us with her messianic presence on Saturday and somewhere between feeding, burping and AM nappy changing (yeah, right) Jigga somehow managed to find some time to record a song featuring his new born daughter (seriously wtf?), the head B.I.C. and post it on his official blog. Yes, that is her crying at the end. And yes, this is me crying in my bedroom, wahwahwahhhhhhh!! Welcome to the world Baby Blue and welcome Jay-Z to our neverending ‘people we wish were our dad’ list.

 

This Is The Best New Song I’ve Heard All Year!

Scissor Sisters Vs Krystal Pepsy (AKA Azaelia Banks) – Shady Love

Big talk there, yes I know, but having been stuck in a 90s girl rap K hole on Spotify since the clock struck midnight, heralding in this blessed new year, I’m pretty sure it’s the only new song I’ve actually heard this year, thus, by default, making it my favourite. (No, that’s a lie, I heard that Alesha Dixon x Weight Watchers collabo too, so yes, this still wins)

Well, this is incredibly awkward as I spent a large portion of the 2000s passionately hating Scissor Sisters (not lesbians, I love lezzas, the rubbish band I mean) but I REALLY like this song :( But then again I REALLY like Azaelia Banks, so that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. Plus the video is adorbz, so there’s that.

Music Monday: Cee Lo Green – ‘Bodies’

Cee Lo is killing it with his videos recently, isn’t he? This for the upcoming single Bodies, the third from his huge ‘The Lady Killer’ album, and between the super cool animated effect, film noir influenced storyline and styling and cameos from Janelle Monae, model Kerry Washington, a host of musicians AAAAAAAND the great Karl Largerfeld, this has got to be his best yet!

Music Monday: Sébastien Tellier – ‘Look’

New song from one of our Top 10 favourite musical Frenchies. Cool video, if you don’t mind staring at an animated booty morphing for 4 minutes. It’s strangely hypnotic.

P.S. Why is it “Music Monday”? Who made the rule that just because you can alliterate it it’s true? WHO?! And if you must then why not “Mollusc Monday” or something equally as arbitrary?

HAPPY MOLLUSC MONDAY!
