Tidbits



















Girls Aloud new video for their genius single The Promise will premiere on AOL Music tomorrow morning, and it will be on the gals website. I'm so psyched! Also, apparently the album will be released on November 10, according to Wikipedia (don't know how reliable that is).

-Awesome pop website, Popjustice, have heard the new Britney single, Womanizer, and they say it's good. Thank goodness!! Here's what they had to say:
Stylistically it shares a lot in common with Rachel Stevens' 'Some Girls' but in Britney terms it's a brilliantly executed mashup of 'Toxic' with the last album's more insane moments like 'Ooh Ooh Baby'. Most important thing: it doesn't fade at the end - the beat drops out while Britney trills the main "YOU'RE A WOMANIZER OH WOMANIZER OH YOU'RE A WOMANIZER BABY" hook. This track lays a really strong foundation for the fully-realised comeback that didn't quite happen last time and it's hard not to think of it as a late contender for single of the year. Like we said above, it's literally quite good.

I'm glad they mentioned Rachel Stevens' Some Girls because that is one of the best songs so far this century. If Britney's song has a Some Girls-style that's a very good sign.

-British singer, Alesha Dixon, who used to be in a great Brit girl group called Mis-Teeq, who released a song called Scandalous in the US back in 2004, is releasing her second album, but first official album in the UK. The first single is The Boy Does Nothing and Popjustice has a clip. It's catchy (especially the chorus), different, old school, and I love it. I haven't heard the whole thing yet, but I assume I will soon. Here's the link to Popjustice: http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2981&Itemid=206 and if you go to her Myspace, you can hear a one minute clip: http://www.myspace.com/aleshamusic. Check it out! It's wicked good. Her album will be released in the UK in November along with the single.
