Entertaintment Weekly gives A- to "High Tides"
The reviews are finally starting to roll in for Example's album "High Tides", as the album was just recently sent in to critics. Leading the pack is an excellent EW review, grading the album A-.
Entertaintment Weekly
High Tides (2013)
Example
It seemed like the UK hip-hop scene never took off like it was predicted to; sans Tinie Tempah's "Written In The Stars". But Great Britain's hit export is finally hitting radio waves over here, and it's well deserved, with club anthems ("Slow Drive", produced by the multi-talented dream team Nero) and rap tracks that almost make you feel like you are black  ("What You Meant", produced by the Miley teammate Mike WiLL Made It). Overall, this album feels like a blend of all different genres, and it's executed so perfectly that it still feels like a cohesive piece of work.
TRACKS TO BUY
"High Tides (feat. Alpines)" - Crooning modern love jam
"What You Meant" - Future Urban hit; rap-rock tune to roll out the window and jam to

Example's back with a album full of potential hits. The album is a perfectly conceived blend of all genres, but the variety can be overwhelming at times, and the album doesn't flow as well as you might've expected.
Tracks to Download:
Leave Some Air - A haunting ballad, great collab
Forget About Never - Break-up jam, lead single
Everytime You Go (Bonus Track) - 90's Drum & Bass throwback perfectly produced

Normally we only give BNM to independent artists, but a special exception is the new album by Britain's dance-rap hit man, Example. He changes genres on almost every track (everything from R&B to Alternative), but the way he still manages to make the album flow as well as it does is one hell of a feat. "High Tides" surely isn't hidden, but it is a gem.

I'm going to succumb to peer pressure and post gifs along with my performances 
Example performs on The View
Example just performed live on The View, singing Forget About Never and High Tides [with Alpines]. His energy lit up the stage, and the hosts even started to dance along. The viewership for the episode increased 24% to 4.1 million viewers for the episode, presumably all thanks to Example and his dedicated fans.

Ellie Goulding GMA performance
Ellie is wearing is wearing black pants, a blue t-shirt and a dark blue jacket.
She starts singing her emotional ballad called Lease My Love.
The stage is outdoors and when Ellie sings the last chorus, it starts raining.
I looks a bit like she's crying but we can't be sure.
Ellie continues by singing Bleeding In The Dark.
She finishes, takes off her jacket and throws it into the crowd.
The whole crowd cheers and tries to grab the jacket.
It stops raining and Ellie sings her fun dance-pop sing Dreaming Again.
She brings out a few back-up dancers and dances with them.

The video premiered on VEVO, VH1, and MTV six minutes later. The video has already generate controversy do to the raunch and to the risque vibe the video oozed. It's gained over one million views in five hours, putting it's 10 hour total to seven million and four hundred and thirty seven views.
The video starts off in black and white, Sky dressed in a black short dress holding a black cat. She kisses the cat on it's head, holding it against her chest as she rolls around in a provocative way. She continues for a few more seconds until the cat scratches her dress, ripping part of the sleeve. A bit upset, Sky pouts and puts him down, starting to remove her dress. She strips off the dress and she sits down on the bed in just her bra and panties, both which are also black lace. Clips of the cat are shown and it scratches her bra strap and it falls, right before you see Sky's boobs the a bunch of neon confetti flies from Sky's chest and fills the screen, directing you to a scene of Sky in a school bus seat.
In a plaid shirt and a yellow neon seat, she begins singing, serving butch and edge as she taps her foot against the window until becoming bored. After in the seat for about thirty seconds, she strips off her plaid shirt and puts on a yellow sweater and gets on top of the seats singing the pre-chorus. She sings some more before she looks out of the window up top and decides to climb up.
She's up on the top of the bus and it starts moving. Sky shows no worry as she walks a top the bus, dancing as the buildings behind her on the moving bus show pictures of her with the words 'S L U T ', 'W H O R E', 'cokehead' and more pass by. One background shows titties and Sky points to them with a smirk and lifts up her top before the bus brakes and Sky falls. She plays dead, hanging off the side of the bus.
Her blonde cropped hair is gone as she is with her old style hair, long and brown. Giving a flashback to 2010, she's in a black oversized blouse, wearing a neon pink thong. She gets on her hands and knees, and arches her back, teasing up the black blouse, to tease her thong. Behind her on the wall behind the bed are pictures of her and celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, etc.
She pulls up her dress and we see her in just a thong, a neon pink thong and the camera zooms in to her ass and it shows Sky putting on neon orange and pink lipstick. Her hair is long and brown and she sings while putting on the make up, her surroundings neon too as dancers touch up on each other. Sky starts touching on their crotches and abs, before spitting a yellow neon liquid on them before walking away.
Sky is in a rose garden where she's singing dramatically against a rose bush. There's a high saturation to the video and she looks absolutely gorgeous with the bright surroundings. People appear out of the bushes and start groping at her clothes as she smirks in pleasure. The bushes catch on hot yellow fire and Sky giggles running away as dancers follow her. She picks up a crown and puts it on. At the end of the video neon yellow, pink, green, and orange condoms start falling from the sky. She smirks and blows one up and on it says 'Teen Queen'. The video fades to black before a clip of Sky blowing a kiss ends it. A black screen with 'Tigerlily Recordings -2013' shows up and it's over.

"I've never ever had a top ten hit, so I'm working so hard, promoting and performing as much as I can. hard to do two live shows in the morning and two shots at night, but I'm trying to do the best I can, so I hope I could snatch my first top ten hit."

Light Of You Music Video Only On VEVO And MTV!
The video for Bridgit's new single Light Of You premiered worldwide on VEVO and MTV. Everyone who was watching MTV could watch it. Twitter and tumblr blew up with high quality pictures, gifs and screenshots of her in the music video, and it was received with high acclamation.
Her spectacular music video starts with a girl with blonde hair. It was filmed from the back, showing her great figure and good taste in fashion as she continued to walk grey ground - black, long sleeved shirt and floral shorts, with simple black martens completing the whole look. You go girl!
After about twenty seconds, music starts playing and then we find out who's the lucky girl to be starring in her music video - it's Bridgit herself.
She continued to walk on the ground as she sings the first verse. Then, she took about twenty photos of her bag and started looking at them while she was singing, and then it was revealed, that the photos are of her and her on screen ex-boyfriend's. Heads up, she looks gorgeous in these photos, as always.
During the chorus, it starts to rain, and she lets the photos fly away and float in the air. Needless to say, the photography is flawless and this scene is breathtakingly beautiful, just to see how her hair and pictures/polaroids flows in the air.
Whilst Bridget sang her second verse, the music video showed some flashes of her and her ex-boyfriend, Shane Harper! It was showed, how they both had a really beautiful relationship before they broke up: flashbacks in the video showed really colorful, nice and summery shots of Bridgit and her boyfriend jumping into the lake (Shane Harper's sixpack will definitely attract some more girls, or even guys, to watch the video), how they used to cuddle in the candle lights, how they used to have a nice walks in the park and forest, and how they seemed to really enjoy each other's company.
During the bridge, Bridgit then saw her ex-boyfriend, standing in the rain with white wet shirt, which revealed his hot abs, and she started smiling, while the rain slowly stopped. Bridgit started running towards to him and when he reached him, they slowly started kissing, and after their kiss, the sun was shining brighter than ever.
Even if people are already talking about if the break up was real in real life too or not, Bridgit Mendler already denied that she has already broken up with Shane Harper, saying, that "the video was shot and I had chosen Shane as my co-star, so we could have that chemistry, but he haven't broken up. We are actually better than ever, and the video is really cute, I think it's my best one yet. It was just an on-screen break up. And anyways, everything always ends up perfectly, like in the video. You can see my and Shane's characters kissing in the end, which actually means they're good no matter what." Bridgit said, that the story behind Light Of You video and song will be told on a video, which will premiere on VEVO sometime in October.
