Did Justin Bieber drive Demi Lovato to rehab?

Rumors are starting to emerge saying that Demi Lovato is in rehab because of Justin Bieber. They are also saying that Justin Bieber is the reason that Demi Lovato canceled her Twitter account too. Could all of this be possible?

Rumors are ranging from Demi Lovato canceled her Twitter account and checked in to rehab because she is embarressed about kissing 16 year old Justin Bieber because he is two years younger than her to she did all that because she is afraid of the backlash she might receive from all the crazy female Bieber fans that went off on Jasmine V when she was caught kissing Justin Bieber.

All these rumors seem a little far fetched to me. I just can't believe that Lovato would be forced into rehab because of Justin Bieber. I think these rumors are just a way to get people to read articles and get attention. A more likely explanation for Lovato's rehab stint is that she is just exhausted from touring and needs a little down time to recharge her batteries.

Rosanna 'Waterfall'

Rosanna is a sort of new but not new pop singer.She was once part of Swedish girl band 'Play' who toured America and Europe but never really released stuff here. They sold over a million records which is pretty good. She group split,she dj'd and worked with producers and now she has this epic sort of stuff coming out.

Signed with new record label Popjustice Hi-Fi, her new single 'Waterfall' is a dark,gloomy pop affair with whoosing synths and crashing beats ala Robyn's 'Dancing On My Own'. 

Another reason to love Sweden . . check her out now.

Picture of the day! Charlotte Church!

This stunning picture of Charlotte Church frozen inside a giant ice cube (!) accompanies a small video of her in the recording studio recording new single,'Snow'.The song is a country ballad affair and to be honest I was not too impressed so I decided not to post it.Just the picture....hopefully the new songs on the album live up to this sort of epicness!

Scissor Sister Any Which Way Music Video

The new Scissor Sisters music video for the single 'Any Which Way' is pretty good. It features lots of slow motion and normal 'motion' for people who like both. It also includes lots of nice toys and colourful objects being thrown at band members for people who like that sort of thing.Anyway,heres the video!

Veda Miss You Much (Just A Tad) Music Video

I previously reviewed Irish drag artist and singer Veda's album,'Stars Edge',an impressive collection of pop and electro tracks from the Queen of Dublin's gay scene. Now the first official single from the album,'Miss You Much (Just A Tad)' is up for release and the official video is out now!

The video is a trippy,psychedelic acid affair with a dreamy,colourful and hazy atmosphere. Its an impressive outcome,the budget for a new act is not exactly going to be up there with the latest Gaga or Madonna release so its pretty well done compared to other acts who may of released a performance video or might of been standing in front of a green screen.Veda is seen posing and singing along to the track and is later joined by different queens including Davina Devina and Peaches Queen who join her in trippy club world. The song itself is much improved and a little more club and radio friendly with extra synths and beats thrown in.

 

Overall,great results from a fantastic performer. The single itself is available to buy on itunes along with the album  and you can see more of Veda on vedamusiconline.com or check her out at the George Bar in Dublin,Ireland.

Katy Perry Teenage Dream Exclusive Review

Today I got to preview the new album 'Teenage Dream' from Katy Perry.The album will be released on August 24th and the physical copy features this stunning cover and a cotton candy scented photo booklet. Amazing.

The album gets off to a cracking start with the second single 'Teenage Dream' where Katy reigns it back into her pop/rock sound.Its atmospheric with cute lyrics and its a very catchy single.A great way to start off the album. Next up is 'Last Friday Night' and here she continues the pop/rock sound with great results. Full of radio friendly summer pop and  saucy lyrics,'last Friday night we went streaking in the park,skinny dipping in the park then had a menage a trois'.

Next is the first single 'California Gurls'. Everyone knows this,not very original but catchy none the less,camp and colourful video and record breaking chart success,nothing to complain about.

One of the standout stracks,'E.T. (Futuristic Lover) is a slightly epic techno affair with robotic vocals,dark moody lyrics and synths,beats and a dark ballad middle 8 to boot.Amazing.

Other stand outs include 'Hummingbird Heartbeat', a mid tempo pop rock song with slow verses but a creeping,cracking chorus.The supposed third Single 'Peacock' is one of my favourites, it boasts an incredibly catchy chours,its more dancey and synthy compared to the previous two singles and is going to go down really well in the clubs. One of the only 'ballads' on the album,'Pearl' was a grower for me and ended up making  a good impression on further listens.Its soft,sweet and Katy's softer tones go down well on the track.

Ending the album is a piano ballad affair,'Not like the movies'.Emotional,sweet and soft the song for me was a bit of a grower and gets better with each listen. A nice way to end the album but after a majority of high energy anthems maybe it would of been better to swap this around with one of the faster songs.Still,thats why you can edit albums on itunes eh? 

Overall,the album is really impressive. Its a step up on the previous album both production and material wise. Katy once again proves herself to be a great writer and is really able to create a cracking pop song at the touch of a few auto tune and synthy buttons. Its a perfect summer album,really energetic and puts you in a good mood.Theres somewhat of a reminiscent feeling to the songs,there atmospheric and you really feel the 'teenage' vibe running through the songs.Brilliant overall and well recommended. 

Released on physical copy and itunes on August 24th.

Bitches With Wolves Interview

'Are you a bitch or a wolf?' sings James O'Neill,otherwise known as Dublin's own 'Bitches With Wolves' on his track 'Good As Gold'.The track,like his others,are full of smart lyrics,dark electro beats and a moody slightly new romantic mood. Just home from entertaining the troupes at Oxygen this year,I spoke to the man behind it all and to find out if he is indeed . . a bitch or a wolf.


GC : ''With a name like 'Bitches With Wolves' your naturally going to stand out from the pack of new acts on the scene - was this the intention or is there another reason behind the cool name?''


James : ''Well it was originally all a joke and it just popped into my head in the early morning of a party I was at, after this guy said that myself and my mates should be in a band, as we had a ‘really cool look, like Bananarama’. I made him give us a gig at his club and after my mates bailed out, I raced home, hooked up with two chaps called Robert Delaney and Darren Flynn and started making my first songs. So, no it ain’t a conceited thing, but rather a wonderful fluke.'' 

GC : What was your first live gig like and looking back what do you think of it now?


James : Oh JEYSUS. Looking back on it, it was so ropey. I had two backing dancers who didn’t bother to learn their routines and so laughed and rolled awkwardly about the stage. Needless to say, they didn’t last that long. That kind of made the whole thing a bit tough. I remember my language was appalling, which is saying something considering how bad it usually is. But, I do think that it was somewhat promising. If anything, the costumes were great – think Victorian disco goth, with black nails and lips. Looking back, I think a lot of it was very shambolic, but thank Christ it showed some promise. I don’t think that I still perform any of those songs anymore either. At least not in the form they were in back then.


GC : Has there been any gig or event since that,that you have loved?


James : There have been loads. Every time I get to step on stage, I have a riot. Initially, I was really nervous going on stage, but I think I’ve settled into it now and get to let loose. My string of shows in the Academy 2 were really great fun. We got to play with the set each week and I had till the cows came home, so I could tell stories and get people on stage etc. Other than that, some of the support slots I’ve got to do have been amazing. Especially when I got to play in the Olympia. It’s like a wall of people and they were all bopping along. Deadly. Oh and then there’s Oxegen….


GC : Yes, you’ve done Oxegen twice, what’s that been like?


James : Really amazing and I’ve been very lucky. The first year they just kind of plopped me onto the dance arena to see if I would sink or swim. At the start there were a few mouldy sessioners still going from the night before and then just my family and friends, but by the fourth track, there were loads of people and they were dancing around and everything. It was only my third or fourth show and I’d not really any idea what I was doing, or much stamina either, for that matter. Haha! This year was totally different. We had the place rammed when I arrived on stage and they weren’t only dancing along, but singing along too – which was totally mental, in a great way.

GC : Explain where your style comes from and how you put a stage outfit together . . is there a big difference from how you dress on and off stage?


James : I dress similarly off stage. When out, I often wear cycling shorts and I'm certainly partial to a sequin jacket. I find my style changes all the time though. Like, when I first started BWW, it was all about costumes. So, I would be a pierrot and then I was a galactic dancer and whatever. I guess that was because I wasn't as comfortable as I am now, so I just dressed up to mask myself, perhaps. Not for others to notice me, but for myself.


Now, I'm not saying that my clothes aren't still big and loud, but I think they're more relaxed. It's like I've found my own personal thing for what I wear: shorts to keep the heat to a minimum and jackets to keep the eyes occupied - and also because I love my jackets like a muthafucker. I just can't stop buying them.... Hup.


But in proper answer to your question, my style comes from anything and everything that catches my eye. I love borrowing from fashion, but am in no means regulated by it. I just really LOVE clothes and playing with them, which makes getting ready in the morning fun every day. God that sounds saccharine. But whatever.


GC : What was the first record you go and which bands did you listen to growing up?


James : The first CD I ever bought was Gangsta’s Paradise and the last tape I bought was the J.LO album. Both brilliant moments in pop music, if you ask me. I’ve always LOVED my pop music and growing up I quickly got a sense of what was good and what wasn’t. For example, N’Sync’s POP album was amazing and Backstreet Boys Millenium wasn’t. Baha! I also actually loved that J.Lo album. Some dirge on it, but some great pop songs too. Other than that, the Spice Girls. I. Was. Obsessed. Totally. Them at the Point is still the best concert I’ve ever been to. Melody is something that I always think is paramount when crafting songs and that’s something that I really took from them. I actually still listen to the Spice World album. It’s got some awesome pure pop moments on it.

GC : What acts are listening to now on and off the charts?


James : I have a huge iPod and am always getting bored with what’s on it, but right now I’m loving the Scissor Sisters new album. Holy fuck, Invisible Light reminds me of the first time I stepped onto a proper dancefloor. Goldfrapp’s Head First is a total winner too. I think she is absolutely amazing. Also, I know this may be controversial, but I think everyone’s been way too harsh on Christina Aguilera’s new album. Sure, it’s no Blackout, but I think she’s done a good job. It’s a pity that her A&R got so over involved, as you can really tell where she wanted to take it and where she was made take it (such as that awful lead single and her new one, which is boring). There are two duo’s that I love at the moment too, Monarchy and Hurts. Emotional pop at it’s Black and Gold best. One song I’d recommend you to certainly check out is Shanell’s song ‘It’s the Beat, which samples Simian Mobile Disco and is nothing short of WHOPPER. I could talk forever about music, but fear I may bore you.


GC : You host WAR which is currently in ALT,Dublin . . what other nights/clubs do you enjoy heading to?


James : Well I don’t get to go out nearly as often as I’d like to, but I love heading to Mother on a Saturday, Partie Monster, when it doesn’t clash and for a bit of midweek action, Cunt and the Panti and Bunny show. I thought that WERK in the Abbey was really special also.


GC :  What are your plans for the next year?


James : Well I really wanna finally release an EP! I’m going to be bopping over to the UK soon for some more recording and have loads of songs already that I don’t want to lose, so I think it might be time to release a little EP on itunes. Nice and small. A dip if you will. Baha! I’m thinking of names for it and think that MEGA would be gas, but am afraid people might think I was a total wanker if I released something called MEGA. Perhaps TURBO? What do you think?


GC :Finally, your song 'Good as Gold' asks are you a bitch or a wolf? which are you? 


James : How about I show you?


Well,its clear to me that James is clearly a wolf and leading the pack in the new UK electro/dance scene. With his EP coming out next year,a successful gig background with more dates to follow and an already adoring fan base, James / Bitches With Wolves has the drive,ambition and talent to go on to bigger and better things after an already hugely successful year and we cant wait to see whats in store for the young star.

Ready to play . . . Jessie & The Toy Boys

Please welcome Jessie & The Toy Boys. This new band is about to storm the charts with their infectious 80's inspired synth pop hooks,catchy melodies and smarter than your average grade A student lyrics. Formed by former solo singer Jessie Malakouti, this new group is being touted as the next big thing and I can see why. Today I spoke to lead singer Jessie about touring,recording,her boys and what we should expect from this sparkling pop star.

As Jessie Malakouti you had already begun a successful start in the music industry. Explain your decision to form Jessie and the toy boys?

I'm very visual as an artist, especially when writing songs. I try to visualize the music, and one day while writing a song I was imagining a video for it and saw the ToyBoys in my head... I made mood boards filled with ideas and details from how they would dress to what their favorite colors were... It all started spiraling from there and I got to work on creating the concept for the band photos with my good friend and photographer Maria Carmel.

Is there a big change in the music and peformances now that you are in a band?

I am already toying (No pun intended ) with all kinds of wild ideas for the live show incorporating my new band mates.  It's gonna be bananas! Lots and lots of dancing for sure.

Your songs have appeared in The Hills and your song 'Standing Up For The Lonely' has appeared on various albums - what is like  hearing your music on such recgonised outlets?

It's the most amazing feeling ever. I want to share all of my songs with my fans, there is no point in writing them to just let them sit in your computer.

How was writing with the famous Xenomania ?

Writing with Xenomania was a wonderful experience. I grew tremendously as a writer and learned a lot about who I am as a person. The best part was being able to live in London for a year and take in a completely different culture. 

Tell me about your experience touring with The Saturdays?

The tour was so much fun. It was actually the first time I had ever played live as a solo artist. I'm happy my show was so well received and thrilled that I got to meet some of my fans in person :) The Sats are also really lovely girls. 

Your new songs are fantastic . . there is a strong 80's electro feel to them . . where do you get your inspiration?

Different things really, Robots, red lipstick, neon lights, conversation with strangers, love, war, books, 80's icons like Debbie Harry and Dale Bozzio...

What music did you listen to growing up?

A little bit of everything, I was really into Mariah Carey's early stuff, songs like "Dream Lover" and "Always Be My Baby" for their big pop hooks... But loved the lyrical honesty of artists like Alanis Morissette and the attitude of bands like Letters to Cleo and Nirvana. 

Explain your style and fashion - 

I love mixing classy with trashy. Pearls with sneakers, Red lipstick with shredded denim... I would say the best way to describe my style is Marilyn Monroe meets Grand Master Flash. 

Brilliant. Jessie and her boys are busy working on their new album and have songs available to listen on their new website - www.jessieandthetoyboys.com  Stay tuned for more news on the group.

Music Rewind . . . Kelly Osbourne - Sleeping In The Nothing

In 2005 Kelly Osbourne returned to the music scene with a darker sophisticated image and a new electro 80's synth rock sound. Her first single off the album,'Sleeping In The Nothing,' [title inspired by Osbourne's favourite film 'The Neverending Story'] was,'One Word' a Visage influenced 80's electro mellow dramatic affair. The fantastic video showcased Osbourne's new look and the song hit the top ten in the UK and no.1 on three US Billboard dance charts [making her the first artist to do so]. The album was then released to positive reviews but dissapointing sales however it did peak at no.2 on the US heatseekers chart and no.2 on the US electro charts but failed to make an impact elsewhere.

  

The album was written by Linda Perry and Osbourne after her stints in rehab. Frankly speaking the album peaks at its opener,'One Word'. However there is a host of delicious electro treats and 80's inspired mid tempo ballads. 'Redlight' is a sparkly disco number while 'Suburbia' sees Osbourne go down the electro pop road with Alice In Wonderland inspired lyrics. Darker areas are explored on other songs such as 'Save Me' where Osbourne wonders why nobody helped when they saw her abusing herself. The mid tempo ballad 'I Cant Wait' stands out in paticular and 'Entrophy' sees her return to her rock sound with great results. The album does have some weak points but it generally holds up and is also supported by a stunning artwork. 

The Japanese version of the album also sees Kelly cover the famous Stacey Q song ,'Two Of Hearts' which would of gone down well on the European album. Most of the songs are available to preview on youtube and the album is a well reccomended purchase. Available on itunes,amazon and most online stores.
