Maroon 5’s new video for “Payphone” is out, but…where’s the rest of Maroon 5?

So, um…I kinda don’t want to like the new Maroon 5 song, but I kinda do. The guys are certainly taking advantage of Adam Levine’s success as a mentor on the reality show “The Voice” and have embraced a poppier-than-usual sound for their upcoming fourth album Overexposed, due on June 26th. First single “Payphone” has a pretty immediate hook. I can picture this one all over the radio this spring and summer (and I’m sure the folks at “The Voice” […]

Blerd Radio - American Idol Season 11 Top 13 Preview

Blerd Radio – American Idol Season 11 Top 13 Preview

Later this week, the top 13 for season 11 of American Idol sing for their pop lives. I will blog the happenings here every week. I’ve watched nearly every episode of American Idol, so I know a little bit about this show. But I grabbed someone who knows even more about this show than I do, and she’s someone who I first met when I was in grade school. My friend Tiffany, who you can follow on Twitter @TVProducerLady , and […]

The Viewfinder: Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger”

If you’re gonna make a record that references Mick Jagger in the title, you’re gonna have to reference him in the video too, yeah? “Moves Like Jagger” is the song that unites two of the four hosts of the hit TV show “The Voice” for the first time (Maroon 5’s Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera), and the upbeat tune has become one of this summer’s biggest hit. The videoclip combines archival footage of Jagger with a series of people imitating […]

New Release Report 8/9/11: The Throne Has Arrived

Actually, it arrived yesterday, and I’m late. The highly anticipated full-length collaboration between mega-rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West, Watch the Throne, arrived at 12:01 Monday morning, and is already generating copious amounts of buzz around the internets. With guest appearances from Frank Ocean and Beyonce and production shots from Q-Tip and Pete Rock (not to mention Yeezy himself), Throne has hip-hop album of the year written all over it. It’s currently only available digitally, but a physical edition arrives at […]

New Release Report 7/12/11: Colbieblakeubus-lime. With Rome.

Bored out of your skull from the lack of releases that made it onto record store shelves last week? Me too. However, never fear: this week brings a veritable cornucopia of new music, including four albums that could all vie for the top spot on the charts. Do you like Colbie Caillat? I don’t. Even her name annoys me. There’s something about the whole cutesy vibe she has that drives me up a tree. She’s just too…perky. And happy. But […]

Chart Stalker 7/6/11: At the Halfway Point

First things first: this week’s chart brings good news and bad news. First-the good news. Beyonce acquits herself well with a chart-topping entry for 4. The R&B songstress’s latest effort starts at #1 on the pop and R&B album charts with 310,000 units. While it’s a little lower than the numbers that have greeted past efforts, if anyone considers a total north of 300,000 copies to be a failure or a disappointment, they’re seriously delusional. Bey is the biggest of […]
