New Music Video: Jagged Edge “Hope”

If you guys can recall at the beginning of the summer Jagged Edge announced their return to the industry as they released their new track "Hope". The song is expected to appear on their new project J.E Heartbreak Too, which serves as the sequel to their 2000 album J.E. Heartbreak. The group recently released the official visuals for the single and it's quite interesting as it starts off with a little drama before the group breaks off into performance.

Rita Ora Gets Seductive With Her Prince-Penned “The Single Most Amazing”: Listen To A Preview

Oh, It's Amazing

Those oft-discussed studio sessions between “I Will Never Let You Go” pop chanteuse Rita Ora and His Royal Badness himself Prince are finally starting to see the light of day, beginning with a track called “The Single Most Amazing.”

The Prince-penned jam, which was produced by Josh Welton is featured in a behind-the-scenes clip from the Roberto Cavalli Fall/Winter 2015 campaign.

The song sees the songstress sensuously purring above a throbbing pulse, luxurious guitars and bright horns. “She looked up and there he was, and now she’s firmly distracted/Up and down in fact, because…definitely attracted,” she sings. It’s a fairly less accessibly Top 40 radio-friendly shift in sound for the usually pop-oriented diva (especially considering her latest hit), although her capable chops allow her to be a sonic chameleon and get into slinkier sounds. And who better to do it with than The Purple One?

While Prince teased a track based on the #ThisCouldBeUsButYouPlayin meme on Twitter, it (sadly) doesn’t sound like this is the one. And, lucky for us, there are plenty more collaborations still to come: According to Rap-Up, there’s an “aggressive” rap song in the mix too. Exciting! (Maybe.)

Listen to “The Single Most Amazing” after the jump, and let us know what you think in the comments below.

Azealia Banks Finally Leaves Her Record Label: Read Her Latest Twitter Rant

New York femcee Azealia Banks is officially out of her record deal with Universal Music - and immediately took to the Twittersphere to tell everyone about it. The Yung Rapunxel has been begging to leave the label for quite some time and, according to The Guardian, used Twitter to tell other labels like Sony and XL to buy out her album contract.

“I’m really in hell here,” Azaelia tweeted back in January. “Universal needs to just hand me over to another label who knows what to do with me … I’m tired of having to consult a group of old white guys about my black girl craft. They don’t even know what they’re listening for or to.”

Her pleas have now been answered, and maybe we can finally hear from some tunes from her much-awaited debut LP, Broke With Expensive Taste. Read her tweets of elation after the jump.

Lykke Li Unveils “Gunshot” Video: Watch

Shot An Arrow

Lykke Li staggers through a parking lot in her "Gunshot" video, directed by Fleur and Manu. One moment she’s slowly walking forward, the next her body convulses - and the other people in the parking lot all react differently to her behavior. One man peers over her shoulder to see if she’s alright. Boys circle around and push her around like grade school bullies. A much younger boy mimes shooting her, while a group of twerking girls pay her no mind.

"Gunshot" is off Lykke Li’s third album I Never Learn, which completes the loose trilogy that started with Youth Novels and 2011′s Wounded Rhymes. Surprisingly, she wrote the song after a mediation session. "[T]he words just came out kind of violent words," she said to The Guardian. "So this is also the moment in, in a relationship where you've fucked up and some things you can never take back. I think that a lot of people can relate to that moment where it's just gone forever.”

Jack Antonoff Compares Taylor Swift To Michael Jackson, Shades Lady Gaga & Katy Perry

Happier Times?

Taylor Swift is real - you know, like the King Of Pop. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry? They just make disposable garbage. Or at least so muses fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff in GQ, with which he took part in an interview to promote his new album Strange Desire with side project Bleachers.

Antonoff puts it this way to the men’s publication: “Taylor Swift is cool, because she's the closest thing today that hearkens to Michael Jackson - to great, great pop music. There's a difference between her and Gaga and Katy Perry and Lily Allen and all that. It all feels throwaway, comparatively.”

Interestingly, this very sentiment - the lack of real depth and overall superficiality in pop - is something Lily Allen herself explored recently with her own song “Hard Out Here” and its accompanying music video. Maybe Jack Antonoff didn’t catch that one?

Jack also adds praise for Kanye West in his GQ piece: “I love Yeezus. I think it's one of the coolest-sounding things ever. And I think Taylor Swift is one of the best songwriters ever.”

Ironically, Katy Perry presented Antonoff and the rest of fun. with their Best New Artist award at the Grammys in 2013:

Funny that Jack was the only one from the band to give Katy a hug in the Grammys clip above.
