'Loverboy' released physically with exclusive B-Side 'Shakedown'
(available at numerous reatilors; Target exclusive)
The release of Taylor Swift's brand new singleer 'Loverboy' has become one of the most talked about subjects in not only the music world but in the world in general. The disco powered song, produced by no one other than disco legend and pioneer Giorgio Moroder, was released yesterday morning after an innovative and massive world premiere. At twelve or noon the dot the song premiered on two hundred and three Clear Channels, garnering over thirty million audience impressions. Two days later the song stand at fifty three million audience impressions, gaining over one hundred and fifty spins daily. The uptempo disco love song already sits at the number eighteen on pop radio, number twenty on rhythmic, and thirty on hot adult contemporary. The radio premiere for the song helped Taylor garner what is looking to be the biggest radio hit of her career. Talking to Mediabase which basically compiles all airplay into charts, Taylor talked about the premiere. "The type of premiere for Loverboy had only ever been done once before and that too was by my label Tigerlily Recordings. It was done back in February with 'Favorite Kind of Trouble'. I'm not a huge fan of buyinging myself radio airplay so the song won't have a radio deal but you know when my label brought up the idea of a simultaneous premiere on over one hundred clear channel radio channels, I really couldn't say no could I? It's not the type of premiere that happens every day. It's a rare occurrity." The premiere proved to be a success as the song was released to iTunes at the same time as well. The song shot straight to number one on iTunes, hitting the top of the highly competitive singles chart in less than twenty five minutes, proving Taylor Swift's selling power in the United States was still as strong as it ever was. The song was initially released digitally to retailers where it was met with instant success, toping iTunes along with the MP3 second of Amazon.com. There were rumors or issues from sources that said a digital release for the song would be it for the track. Those rumors were put to rest this morning as Taylor Swift tweeted a link to a physical copy made available through numerous major retailers like Target, Best Buy, Walmart, and more retailers who are now carrying a physical copy of the single. "I hope you guys didn't expect me to change it up too much? 'Loverboy' of course has been released digitally but don't let some idiotic rumors tell you that our love ends now. Get the physical copy of the single in stores right now, in almost every other retailer that distributes music to get the track physically also along with an exclusive B-Side titled 'Shakedown'. Love you all and goodbye!" The physical copy of the sing contains the cover, a mini booklet, along with an exclusive B-Side titled 'Shakedown', a disco song that's sultry and slow, a perfect song for making love with your lover for the night. Or in Taylor's case, her "loverboy". The Target edition of the physical single contained not only the exclusive B-Side but also an alternate cover. Instead of it just being a short of Taylor waist up, it features Swift's entire body in the shot, along with the text formatted differently on the cover. Fans immediately rushed out to buy the physical copy, as many died to hear the B-Side that no one in the world was expecting.

Y'all should stop telling Sheezus how to run his era. It's his artist, not yours.

Azealia on X Factor
On X Factor performing tonight is Azealia Banks who came to promote her new album Reborn as well as to perform her new single Paradiso as well as perform her verse of Spitfire by Christina Aguilera. With a television audience of 6 million people watching, Azealia had a grand amount of people watching her, waiting for her to perform Paradiso. Before performing on this American talent show, Azealia tweeted to all her fans that she would be appearing on the show, along with this Fox has been promoting Azealia's appearance on the show for the past week.
During the performance Azealia wore a Valentino gown made out of what seemed to be fish scales but were later revealed to just be replications of fish scales. The dress was a metallic shiny blue/green, depending the way the light hit it. The gown was strapless and at the hips humped out on each side to accentuate Azealia's curves. With a train flowing behind her made of the fish scale replicas, Azealia looked like a mermaid goddess who learned to walk on land with her metallic silver crown and blue and green middle parted weave. Azealia walked on stage with a trident fork and her heels were platform 8 inchers that were also decked out in fish scales and designed by Valentino. Around Azealia stood male dancers shirtless with fish scale pants and shoes.
At the start of the performance, Azealia stood tall at the top of the glass set of stars, behind her LED screens stood that displayed images of the sea and fish swimming. With blue lights shinining on Azealia colors of blues and greens, one would think they were in the sea watching this performance. After a quick rapping of her Spitfire verse, Azealia then began to rap Paradiso and to the audience's surprise, on the LED screens behind Azealia Trina, Missy, Remy, and Shawnna all did their verse to the remix of Paradiso in the green/blue lighting. After a grand applause for this performance of Paradiso, Azealia gave a bow. The performance has since been uploaded on YouTube where it has gained great positive reception.

Paradiso Remix Lyric Video
Released just yesterday, Azealia revealed to the world the remix to her new hit song Paradiso which features female hip hop legends such as Missy Elliott, Trina, Shawnna, and Remy Ma. A music video for the remix has already been announced and is expected to have each of the girls in the video to perform their verse. However, just revealed was the lyric video which itself has received great attention with its colors, appearances from each of the girls, and overall quality of the lyric video.
At the start of the video, all that is seen is the pixel beach which is above. As the beat plays, birds fly and the ocean crashes against the sandy shore onto the pixel beach. As it comes time for Trina's opening verse in the remix, the picture flickers to reveal Trina rapping in black and white with a blond weave in as the lyrics scroll in with its system font across and around Trina's face. As Trina's verse ends, it's back to the beach where Azealia's verse scrolls by on the beach with the occasional flicker of bass revealing Azealia's face rapping her verse. After this, Azealia begins singing the chorus where all that is seen is Azealia posing and modeling in black and white with the lyrics scrolling by in the center with a 90s Gameboy style font.
After Azealia's chorus, Missy begins her verse in a similar way to what Trina did, with the beach and Missy's face flickering and moving with the bass as Missy is seen rapping in black and white to her verse of Paradiso Remix. After Missy's verse, Remy comes on in what is her first music video since she's been in prison. Pushing Missy's frame aside, Remy raps her verse looking straight at the camera while she wears her iconic blond bang with black extensions. As she flips her hair to the raunchy lyrics, the camera flickers back to the beach where Azealia sings the chorus for the second time.
Azealia then does a Paradiso Remix exclusive verse after the second chorus in which she is wearing a beanie that says bad bitch. With the black and white filter, Azealia raps her verse as the camera flickers. Shawnna then comes in with her verse that references her hit Gettin' Some where she flips around her chocolate brown hair as she touches her lipstick up in the camera. After both verses, all the girls are seen singing the chorus while holding shoulders and swaying side to side as the lyrics scroll across the screen. After this, all the girls are seen hugging and the camera fades back into the pixel beach. With a 99 like to 1 dislike ratio, this lyric video has hip hop fans all over excited. So far, the lyric video has gotten 2 million views.

Marina & The Diamonds "Happy Meal" Video
The video starts on a foggy street as Marina walks down the street in a dark red dress. The music starts as Marina sings. The camera whips towards a door belonging to a hosue on the street. A girl slides out of the door very sneakily, wipes her eyes, and begins walking down the walkway. The camera follows her, and as she turns the camera does as well. Marina walks behind her as she sings. The girl pulls out her phone from her purse and calls someone. She turns to a house on the street, Marina & the camera turning as well. The girl walks up the porch of the house and into the house. A party is going on inside, and the girl makes her way to get a beer. She cracks the beer open as a guy comes up from behind her and grabs her hips. She puts her hand onto the guy's cheek and turns around. She takes a chug of the beer and then kisses the guy. They start passionataly making out and then the girl jumps onto the the guy. Marina walks into the room where they are as the guy carries the girl out of the room and up the stairs. The girl sucks on the guy's neck as she's carried. Marina follows the two up the stairs into a bathroom. The guy places the girl on the counter as she pulls up her skirt. He gets on his knees and pulls off her panties. He starts eating the girl out and the girl puts her dress over the guy's head. She leans her head back and hits it on the mirror behind her.
--
The camera changes to basemant where several men are sitting at a table playing poker. The girl from before walks downstairs with a pepsi in hand and hands it to one of the older men sitting at the table. As she walks away he grabs her hand. She turns around and grabs his shoulders as she climbs onto him. The camera spins around the girl to reveal Marina at the table still singing. The men sitting at the table disappear, leaving just Marina, the girl, and the old man at the table. The girl takes off her shirt, revealing a black bra. She throws the shirt behind her on the table. The man rubs her breasts through her bra until she grabs his hands and place them on her cheeks. The camera turns to the back of the girl, showing Marina's figure over the girl unclipping her bra and dropping it on the table behind her. The girl motorboats the old man, whole twirling her head around in pure ecstasy. She stops and her head falls forward onto the man.
--
The camera shows the girl from behind in a different room next. She's wearing a black bra and black panties. She drops down low and rubs her ass as she looks back. The camera turns around to reveal a man in a suit sitting on a red-padded bench. Marina is sitting next to him, singing. The camera switches back to the girl immediatly as the beat picks up dramatically. She struts towards the man, swaying her hips side to side as she does so. She drops down to the floor with the beat of the music, much to the man's approval. The girl puts her hands in her hair as she twirls her head and hair. She struts to the man and puts her foot between Marina & the man's knees. The camera turns to show a side view of the girl's show, to show Marina rapping. The girl puts her hand on the man's chest and brings it down to his pants. She drops with the beat to her knees. Another drop of the beat makes the man spread his knees. The girl unzips the man's zipper and pulls his underwear down. She begins giving the man head.
--
The next shot is of Marina sitting on a bed, legs crossed. The camera is a front view of Marina as she sings directly into the camera. She begins to close her eyes, until they are completely closed. The music stops and Marina falls back onto the bed. The camera moves towards the bed as a door is heard opening. A man drunkenly slurs "Oh ****..". The camera reaches the bed and heads over Marina's body to her face. Her body is moved while the camera pans over her body. Her dress is pushed up, wrinkles in the clothing become noticable as the camera reaches her face. A zipper is heard unzipping. Marina's body is pushed forward. Marina's body is pushed forward again, but this time her head falls to the right, the camera following it. She begins to open her eyes as the beat comes back in, her body still being pushed forward. She starts to sing, looking directly into the camera. Her body is rocked as she sings, but she doesn't blink once. Her body begins to rock faster and faster. As Marina finishes singing, her body stops rocking. The music stops and the camera starts going backwards from it's original pan. The man zips back up his pants and leaves the room, slamming the door. The camera reveals tears in Marina's dress as the camera pans back. The camera starts zooming away from the bed to reveal a cup on the floor and Marina's panties beside it. The screen goes black as the video ends. |
 I think you could win most shocking video

It's ridiculous that other people can post articles that aren't in complete seriousness and no one ****ing cares but when I do it you guys say I should abandon my artist? You guys know for damn sure some of the promo you're doing your artist would never do much less be able to BOOK irl.
Provide some actual EVIDENCE that my direction isn't good please. |
I think the difference is that a majority of the articles you've posted haven't been in seriousness. That's the thing. It really just seems you're making her career some big parody. Do you expect titles like "Happy Meal" and "Pancake Karma" to come off as serious?
