VV Brown – Crazy In Love (Beyonce Cover), PMA Premiere

YouTube Preview Image

VV Brown transforms Beyonce’s Pitchfork-adored “Crazy In Love” into a pumped-up, folksy flurry of energy. It’s the latest track in her series of live covers. Past covers include Kid Cudi’s “Day N Nite” and Drake’s “Best I’ve Ever Had.” Her frantic rendition of “Crazy In Love” is easily the best of the bunch and has a killer chance of becoming my favorite cover of the year.

Make sure to check out VV Brown’s latest release, The Attic EP on iTunes. You can now download VV Brown’s “Crazy In Love” cover on MP3! Continue reading →

The Best Pop Songs of the 2000s

I was thinking about this a lot the other night, and I think its time to being the great debate of the Best Pop Song of the 00s over to PMA. Before everyone starts mouthing off some obscure Scandinavian pop songs, here are a few rules.

1. The song had to have achieved notoriety from 2000-present.
2. It pains me to say this, but the song has to have been a nationwide (or worldwide) hit. The bigger, the better, in most cases.

Why? Because pop music is supposed to be universal. Everyone is supposed to enjoy it and love it and everyone can’t love something if they’ve never heard it before. Simple as that.

3. Only one song per artist. Pick their best single, if that helps.

I have a few submissions in mind. Read on to find out Continue reading →

Beyonce – Ego (feat. Kanye West)

Beyonce Ego (feat. Kanye West) listen
I could make a joke about how ironic it is that Kanye West is part of a song called “Ego,” but I won’t. I can also crack a joke about Beyonce and Kanye both being Jay-Z’s bitches, but I won’t. I won’t because Kanye West completely makes this song. “Ego” was originally one of Beyonce’s snorefest-filler songs on her latest set, I Am… Sasha Fierce, and now it’s been made bearable by good ole Kanye.

I really can’t tell you how much better Kanye West makes this song. You will have to hear them both to understand and appreciate Ye’s verse. And man, it’s great to hear him off the auto-tune and rapping. Listen to both after the jump Continue reading →

The Thinking Man’s Take On: Alter Egos

It’s time to talk about a growing trend in pop music that is often confusing, sometimes disturbing, and often remarkably effective. No, I’m not talking about Autotune (although that time will come) – I’m talking about musical artists adopting multiple personalities.

To be clear, I’m not talking Puff Daddy/Puffy/P.Diddy/Diddy multiple personalities. Not Prince, The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, or The Artist Formerly Known As The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, either. I’m talking Eminem/Slim Shady multiple personalities. T.I./T.I.P. multiple personalities. Cookie Monster/Veggie Monster multiple personalities. More and more, in contemporary music, artists already performing under nom-de-records are choosing new names for new music. Why? And why does something that seems so wrong feel so right?

Terry Urban: MGMT x Q-Tip. Jay-Z x Kid Cudi. Beyonce x The Cure

Terry Urban: MGMT x Q Tip. Jay Z x Kid Cudi. Beyonce x The Cure listen

Kind of late on this one, but better late than never, I always say! I’ve always liked Terry Urban. I’m not sure if it’s because of his actual work, or because of how exciting his projects seem to be. On Urban’s How My Brain Works 2, he mixes blogbabies MGMT with rap legend Q-Tip, legend and newcomer, and everything in between (somehow between MGMT vs Q-Tip and Jay-Z vs Kid Cudi, Terry mixes Beyonce with the Cure, that’s sheer awesomeness).

MGMT ft. Q-Tip – Electric Stop

Jay-Z ft. Kid Cudi – Party Day N Nite

Beyonce ft. The Cure – Emo Ladies

Shoutout to Terry Urban’s blog for the tracklist and the download to the whole compilation! Download the whole thing after the jump!
