#TheAwkwardMomentWhen.. you realize you're writing a HIT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!)*(#^&)(*@&#_(@*%&@_#()@*

lol demi.. I hope you're right

aww me too

I don't really want her working with Timbaland. I like the pop/rock vibe and I know she wants to go r&b... Well, just don't be safe and boring, please!

She's been in studio this week with a woman formerly credited on 'Got Dynamite', so hopefully she keeps the rock alive.

when she says r&b i'm envisaging stuff more in the vein of "behind enemy lines" (which remains my favourite lovato song)

"got dynamite" is my second favourite so it's all looking good for me

every time you lie => got dynamite => stop the world

is the best 3 track run, like, ever

this J. Lo album is sounding REALLY good on first listen

"get on the floor" is pretty much a classic imo

yeah it's catchy but what does it have that "stereo love" doesnt? pitbull's awkward attempts at zeitgeist grabbing?

lightness of touch

i didn't think that much of the jlo album though

pitbull's second verse is awesome

"stereo love" had more lightness of touch imo

rumor has it tinie tempah's next single stateside will be a collaboration w/ wiz khalifa, produced by stargate

wiz + stargate are 2-2, so sign me up

I think there's about 100% chance of that being better than "Written in the Stars", even if it sucks.

People comparing "On The Floor" to "Stereo Love" probably dont know this song:

i have caught myself enjoying "Written In The Stars" once or twice, oddly enough

i don't think i've (knowingly) heard that song

of course that's where the melody comes from (i think lambada was mentioned somewhere upthread) -- the reason i often compare on the floor to stereo love is because of the general aesthetic of the chorus, or at least the beginning of it: suddenly soft, with breathy vocals and the beat percolating lightly in the background.

yeah i haven't heard that one but it still owes an obvious debt to "stereo love" -- the vocals and especially the synth textures in the chorus sound almost identical

for "on the floor" obviously, not the kaoma song

"La Lambada" was a huge worldwide hit (except in the US) and sold 5 million copies in 1989. But I do see how the production of "On the Floor" could be compared to "Stereo Love".

not hating this j-lo album on first listen

'run the world' is gorgeous. 'invading my mind' would be great if it was faster. 'on the floor' is classic

I love "hypnotico," "papi," "what is love" and "good hit"

there was a small mention of this in the UK top 40 poll from a few weeks back but this is pretty fucking great right here

it sorta reminds me of those dance remixes of songs like "since u been gone" & "love story" except since it was conceived that way it works 100% and is a total anthem

lol whoops

excuse the stupid interlude in the video btw

dre is at 16 on the hot 100?????

i don't think i've even heard 'i need a doctor'

save yourself

"Hello" is from last summer.

yeah i know but i'm just hearing it on the radio now

+ there were basically no ilx posts about it

int'l music almost always takes forever & a day to circle back here (another example from this year would be don omar's awesome "danza kuduro") unless it's a female singer from england, & sometimes even then

It's cool. Even though I heard it last summer (and liked the single they did together a couple years ago), it didn't really click with me until it showed up in a gum commercial on tv recently.

His new one is with Kele

everyone should check out "danza kuduro" btw altho it looks like they talked about that one in the reggaeton thread last year

Since we're talking about int'l stuff, this is from Sweden and sounds just enough like Robyn that I'm sure the lex will hate the shit out of it

Just came across this freestyle throwback from Erodiscotique (Dimitri from Paris & Rocca collabo). Grrreat.

that erodiscotique ep is thoroughly marvellous

I love that Solveig-Dragonette single, it's so "Voodoo Child" in the best possible way

the first time i heard "i need a doctor" i was like o_O

i was like i DO need a doctor

Clip from Nicola Roberts' debut. Very promising imo

i was like i DO need a doctor

lmao

fleet foxes outsold j lo & sade

do u like the fleet foxes?

as much as the next guy, i guess -- i haven't heard the new album tho

if i post here that makes me the next guy and i hates em

it's not like they outsold Sade's blockbuster 2010 album, they outsold Sade's second greatest hits compilation
