The wait is no longer! Ex-Sugababes MutyaKeishaSiobhan have officially previewed their new single Flatline.

The track has been highly anticipated since the trio announced their return to music almost a year ago, to huge excitement, and interest, from both fans and industry-folk alike.

This is not the first piece of new music we’ve heard from the girls, mind. Earlier this year the trio performed an acapella of album-track Boys in a short video, whilst almost two months ago the girls additionally unveiled covers of both Kendrick Lamar’s Swimming Pools and Entertainment by Phoenix, both produced by US producer Devonté Hynes.

Take a listen to Flatline below (as well as their previous covers) and let us know your thoughts…. we’re squealing with excitement over here!!

Welcome back girls, it’s been a long wait but boy are we happy you’re here!

Snoop Dogg unveils new track ‘Let The Bass Go’

let-the-bass-go-turbo-snoop

Fresh from his Snoop Lion stint, the original Doggfather Snoop Dogg has unveiled a new track Let The Bass Go, from the forthcoming Dreamworks animated movie Turbo.

Of the track & movie (of which Snoop also provides his voice to one of the characters), the rapper said:

“They approached me about doing a voice in the movie, so I said, ‘Why not?’. I love animated movies, and I’ve always been loved by the kids, but I didn’t know how to target that audience. This is the perfect way…. It’s something upbeat that everyone in the house can enjoy. I’m on my old-school rap style there: we took sounds from the Eighties like an 808 bass to give it that ‘Planet Rock’ and ‘Going Back to Cali’ feel. It was about paying homage, while at the same time taking the movie to the next level”.

Take a listen to Let The Bass Go below:

Could ‘Yeezus’ be a hoax? Amazon lists unknown Kanye West album ‘Good Times’ for preorder

Kanye-West-Good-Times-Cover

With all the hype around the forthcoming release of Kanye West’s next LP Yeezus, an eagle-eyed Amazon browser has spotted the web giant’s listing for an unknown album Good Times.

The album cover (pictures on the post), contains a tracklisting that seems totally new; whilst delving deeper shows that the title ‘will be released on July 8, 2013’.

Check the full listing here, which brings us to ask whether Yeezus is actually either not the final name for the forthcoming release, or that there’s a double-album in the works!
