8 INCH LOUBIES > BEAUT

DISAPPOINTED. BUT STILL LOVE THE SONG!

VIDEO: DRAKE - MARVIN'S ROOM

NEW JOINT: CHRIS BROWN - MARVIN'S ROOM REMIX

*Sigh* Marvin's room is seeming to be VERY popular right now!!


I'm growing to like the original more and more BUT Jojo's remix is by far the best!! So now Chris Brown did his take on Marvin's room. I was expecting to love it but tbh there's something missing. Can't place my finger in it. It's alright but nothing special.


Have a listen for yourself.

-What so special about Marvin's room? Think I might aswell do one!! 'Leah's Room' (Y)


****Oh yh, I also come across this on youtube. I usually watch all the SwearDownTV Youtube channel vids, and saw Scotty (one of the presenters) done her own take on 'Marvin's Room'. It's actually really good. Love the lyrics and she's got a nice voice too.

ALBUM REVIEW: BEYONCE - 4

Ahhhh sooo '4' is finally out!! I can't lie I downloaded the album a few weeks ago and I must admit at first I thought 'ermmmmm Beyonce like what is this'. I only really like a few songs but I thought let me just keep listening to it and after a while I fell in love with it.


'4' isn't like any of the other albums, infact their all different. But with '4' it's almost as though Beyonce music has grown. It's more of a maturer sounds, she's still got that feistyness that we got in 'Bday' and the 'I am Sasha Fierce' album. 


My fav song: 


1+1 - Intimate and beautifully sung ballad, by Queen B. She executes every note on this song. We get to hear her vocal range and just how powerful her voice is!! Its one of those songs you'd sing to someone you truly love. The lyrics are too beautiful.


'I don't care' -  Another powerful ballad. Bee proper goes for it. Got a rock feel to it in some parts.


'I miss you' - Kinda feel like she's singing for Jay Z in this song. Quite an emotional song but I love the beat.


'Party' - The song features Andre 3000 and was produced by Kanye 'Sexy' West! Love this song soo much. IT's got that 80s vibe to it. Defo gonna be rinsing it.


'Run the World (Girls)' - Didn't like it at first but its defo my anthem for the summer!! Love it. Just makes you wanna shake your tush!!


'End of Time' - This will probably be released!! Absolutely L O V E this track!! Im sure I play it at least 5-10 times a day. It's another one which makes you wanna shake ur tush too.


'Countdown' - Beyonce brings out the gangster twang in this song. It's one of those upbeat joints that you would hear on 'Bday' or 'I Am Sasha Fierce'. Can't wait to see her perform this track.




So yh out of the 12 songs on the album im in love with 7 so far!! That may change though.




Can't wait for here London concerts!!!

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2011: BEYONCE

Glastonbury looked amazing with acts such as U2, Coldplay, Jessie J, The Chemical Brothers and Queen B........I watched most of it on via BBC! :( Really really wanted to go but it just wasn't possible this year. I really koved Ed Sherran's performance. Apparently he performed 8 times at Glastonbury!! Pretty good for the talented newcomer. Anyway, when the headlines about Beyonce performing at Glastonbury come out a few months ago, I was completely GUTTED!! You know im a Beyonce stan already. Even though all the Glastonbury footage was good and it looked amazing, all I could wait for was to see her closing performance.


I got in from a fab day of Go Karting that evening just in time for the performance. I can't even describe how AMAZING she was to watch. You gotta see for yourself. She performed some of her old songs and a few of her new songs from her album '4' (which is out in stores now).


Here's a video of her Glastonbury performance:

I shall be at Glastonbury 2013!!!! There isn't one next year.....something to do with allowing the ground to recover!! Meh! 2013 = GLASTONBURY BOUND!

RIP MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON

'Gotta leave that 9-5 up on the shelf......and just enjoy yourself'

VIDEO: ESTELLE FT RICK ROSS - BREAK MY HEART

LOVE THIS SONG!!!! VIDEO'S NICE ASWELL.

NEW MUSIC: DAWN RICHARD - NOVACANE REMIX

Dawn from Dirty Money has released a remix to Frank Ocean's big hit 'Novacane'. The original version still gets me singing along and with him releasing the video which is epic (see archive to watch the video). Ive listened to Dawns version a couple times now and its actually alright. BUT there's something missing. I love off Dawn especially since the Danity Kane days (still upset they split up) but yeah I don't know if it really works.

Have a listen for yourself.

What do you think.........

FUCK IT IM ON ONEEEEEE!

EVENT: RICK ROSS CONCERT - HMV FORUM, LONDON

'CAN I GET A ROZAY........ROZAYYYYYY'


Earlier last month I did a post alerting you guys that Rick Ross was going to perform in London again. I said that wasn't going to go........well in the end I ended up rolling with my cousins to the event. After the last concert in November 10', I thought 'hey why not', plus seen as he's brought out some new stuff I thought it would be good to see him perform it.


Didn't really think a lot of people were going.......I was wrong. On twitter, it seemed like my whole TL was rolling which added to gassing me up about the night. As usual, the weather decided to say 'fuck up' and chucked it down with rain en route to the HMV Forum in Kentish Town. As we drove past the venue, we saw the queue.....ErMMMM why was it NOT moving and going round and round. Not only that, I had never been to the HMV Forum before and was surprised to see it look a bit CRUDDY. We finally found parking and made our way to the queue. Luckily, anyone who had tickets lined up separate to those collecting tickets and in the end we got in fairly quick. 


Inside now, we go and get some seats (seated tickets were not allocated to specific seats except for the booth). We got inside at like 20.30, no seats left, and any seats that we were able to squeeze into would made it all a bit uncomfortable, so we ending up standing. That really did defeat the purpose of getting seated tickets. I didn't mind too much because there was room to move upstairs and I knew I would be up shaking a leg as soon as acts performed.


Play Ents were djying....they were good but tbh looking back at the November concert, Tim Westwood tore the place down. Anyway, I got there just in time to see Sneakbo. Now don't get me wrong, Sneakbo is good and he's making moves at such a young age BUT when your performing and you regard yourself as an artist I do expect you to deliver. Half way through the song, Sneakbo comes out and he did do really well. Once he completed the songs, ermmm he bopped off stage O_o maybe im being picky but every artist ive seen always thanks their fans. Let's be real people were mainly going there to watch Rick Ross perform but a lot of people there are Sneakbo fans too.....Sneakbo show some appreciation, not a big deal just common courtesy. Rumour has is Sneakbo is signed to Maybach Music....I need to get this confirmed though.


I dunno what happened after, but all I felt was wave of energy and I knew Rick Ross was coming on (no exagging). BOOOM, Rick Ross comes on stage. Y is this guy such a BOSSS! You may say its cos he's fat but the guy knows how to own the stage! Estelle also popped up on stage to perform her new single 'Break my heart' with Rick Ross. Nice surprise. Upmost respect to Estelle, always like her from '1980'. Another UK artist doing well in the US.


Anyway here's one of my videos from the event:

(Excuse the shaking camera movements :s)




All in all, November concert was better in regards to the vibe, but ended quicker. However, this one was good cos we got to hear more of Rick Ross but the venue was shit. I think Hammersmith Apollo were not on holding another Rick Ross concert due to the beef that happened last time. There's rumours going round that Rick Ross got his chain popped. I really don't think it's true tbh. There's pics of the chains going around but I wanna see/hear more evidence.


- Ain't life a BITCH, But you gotta keep her wet - Rick Ross


M-m-m-m-m MAYBACH MUSIC


P.S. I will upload more videos tomorrow, blogger is shegging......i really should have stuck with tumblr.

BBEYONCE '4' PROMO PICS

'4' will be released on 28th June! I will be reviewing the album this week!!!

NEW SONG: KANYE WEST - MAMA'S BOY

Been 50/50 about even posting this. I am very bias towards Kanye West but mmm I had to be real about this song. Last week 'Mama's boy' hit the net. It's basically about growing up with his mum and not liking his mother's boyfriend's. 


ERMMMMMMM, tbh the beats alright but I just donn't feel it. Let's hope this song dies and I never hear it again. Maybe im being a tad bit dramatic but nahhh Yeezy, you need to scrap this one.


Listen to the track:

VIDEO: RYE RYE FT ROBYN - NEVER WILL BE MINE

I remember seeing Rye Rye on a programme on C4 ages ago and was quite amazed at her energy while performing. Ermm lyrcially, ermmm yeah not my cuppa tea but hey waleva floats your boat. She's now signed to MIA's label N.E.E.T. Recordings. Rye Rye has teamed up with Robyn (you really should know who she is) released a track called 'Never will be mine'. Her's the video of the track:

I see M.I.A.'s style has clearing rubbed off on Rye Rye even though I do remember dress sense being wacky. You may also remember that the chorus of this song was actually originally sung by Robyn herself and the track was called 'Be Mine'. Her's the video to jog your mem.

Rye Rye's upcoming album is called Go! Pop! Bang! and should be out late summer.

SNEAKER FEATURE: VANS

Im not the sneakerhead I used to be when I was younger. I last thing I copped is a pair of Converse *hangs head in shame* Anyway, I remember in 06/07 days EVERYONE was hooked on Vans. Me being me, didnt jump on the wave. I liked them on other people but I was happy rocking my Converse and around those times, my wardrobe become a bit more 'girlier' so there was no need for trainers.


Right so I was browsing around on Office, and low and behold I found myself looking at Vans. Now I may be incredibly late *shrugs* BUT these leopard print Vans *love eyes* I FRIGGIN HEART EM. 

Then as I flick my eyes over to size selection box and I saw 'OUT OF STOCK'. *Cries* What a sheg! I was pretty VEX.


I may settle for the navy or green ones *sigh*. 


If you got any suggestions on sneakers I should get, holla.


****Don't suggest Jordans because I know what ones I like and the hunt to find my size is too much headache****

MUSIC: TEYANA TAYLOR - HER ROOM (MARVIN'S ROOM REMIX)

So it looks like EVERYONE is going their own version of Drake's new song 'Marvin's Room'. I wasn't crazy about the original but fell in love with Jojo's version. Now Teyana Taylor's got a verson called 'Her Room'. It's actually alright and Ive always liked Teyana Taylor BUT the songs a bit FLAT. Yes i said it, it's FLAT! There's nothing really exciting about it. A bit like the original in my opinion.

Let's not gas it up just cos the she has a good voice, style etc. Jojo just added a bit more umpphh to her version. 




I conclude, this is my opinion and hey you may love it out of the 3.


Here's Jojo's version:

And here's the original by Drake:

What do you think?

NEW SONG: JOJO - MARVIN'S ROOM REMIX

Remember Jojo? If you don't check out her first single 'Leave (Get Out)' to jog your memory.

But anyway she covered Drake's 'Marvin's Room' and surprisingly I like her remix better than the original song. Ive always been a fan of Jojo and apparently she is currently recording her 3rd album. Can't wait to hear it.

VIDEO: CHRIS BROWN - REAL HIP HOP SH*T (PART 2)

This Breezy joint aint half bad you know. Love it. He's going to be releasing a rap mixtape soon as well ive heard.

EVENT: LET'S GET WAVEY @ ESCUCHA, NOTTINGHAM

So its that time again where everyone's finished exams, stress free and ready to enjoy life again. Entertainment team, PDT held an event for NTU, Notts uni students and other surrounding unis........actually let me correct that, it was actually for anyone who down for enjoying life and wanted to shake a leg really. Anyway, so 10th June finally arrives and again I had the pleasure of doing the photography for the night!!!! The vibe was sickkkk! Everyone was enjoying and I got to capture some epic moments. Sneakbo also performed on the night. He absolutely shutdown the rave! Anyway, here's some pics from the event:

NEW SONG: DRAKE - MARVIN'S ROOM

DRAKE'S BACK! We heard 'Im on one' ft Rick Ross and co (that's my tune right now). Im hoping Rick Ross performs that next week at the London concert. Okay anyway, Drake new song 'Marvin Room' was leaked or waleva last week. Everyone was banging on about it, so I thought lemme just listen to it. Tbh its not great and im not gassed by it. It's alright but the singing thing didn't quite get me on this track. I may change my mind later on after a few plays but for now.....mmm yh it a 2.5/5.


Listen to it for yourself.

Who's Marvin and what's his room gotta do with the song? K, maybe theres a clue in the song or i aint taken much notice to the lyrics *shrugs*


Let me know what you think.

NEW SONG: KELLY ROWLAND FT BIG SEAN - LAY IT ON ME

Kelly is killing it now! We all love her tune with Liil Wayne 'Motivation' and now we get to hear her new song 'Lay it on me' ft Big Sean. 

Do i love it? Im not in love with it, BUT i can see myself loving it slowly but surely. Its very catchy!

QUICK OUTFIT

Just thought i'd do a quick simple colour block outfit. All of the items are from Topshop so if you like, get ordering.

Top £28

Maxi skirt w/ splits at the side = £35

Ring £14 

Ring £12.50

Bracelet £18

Tips: 

TBH, dont get the jewellery from Topshop except for the bracelet. Go to a vintage shop or your local charity shop and get it cheap as chips ^_^

Ive bought the skirt and top and will be rocking this when i go out with my family this weekend. 

Try rocking a purple headwarp with this outfit! I think it will look like. 

Another tip, when you rock bracelets, do a mix a match of bangles and rock it on one arm...you don't wanna end up looking like Mr T. Make sure you go at least 2/3 rings on, mixture of large and small on aswell.

DISCLAIMER: I am not telling what to wear, just merely showing you an outfit I feel will look nice. Try it out. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KANYE WEST!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE SEXIEST GUY IN THE BIZ!!!!!!!!
