The music video for Zedd's new single "Slay" was released on Tuesday at noon on Zedd's VEVO channel. It gained over 20 million views, breaking the record set by Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball." As of this writing, it is VEVO-certified with 109 million views.
The video starts with an empty beauty pageant stage. As the music's intensity increases, the contestants walk out onto the stage until they're all there. They strike a pose.
The video then cuts to the judges' table. We see Zedd there!
The pageant continues as the pace of the song slows, but then a bearded criminal shows up to the pageant! He tells everyone to get to the ground. He happens to walk in front of the stage, when two of the contestants tackle him! They pull him backstage, and dress him up as a contestant, with the women promising not to turn him in if he goes through with it. They make him look like Conchita Wurst, the winner of 2014's Eurovision music competition.
He goes through with the whole thing, looking uncomfortable, but still slaying. Despite this, the crowd loves his performance and the judges crown him as the winner. He swears to the two women who dressed him up that he won't ever commit a crime again. Too late, they say, because they already called the cops, who had already arrived.
The final 15 seconds of the video have the whole place partying, with a surprise guest appearance by RuPaul and the real Conchita Wurst.[/CENTER]

"Temple" music video released on Vevo
The official music video for Zedd's latest single "Temple" featuring Lady Gaga has been released on Zedd's Vevo channel. The runtime is 4:43.
The video starts off with a shot of an exotic Hindu-style temple on the top of a mountain. The setting is foggy. Laser lights are coming out of the temple.
The scene continues with someone covered in a robe. They have super long black dreadlocks. The person begins to climb the mountain. They are struggling and trip and fall. The wind blows their robe away and they are naked and exposed. They cover their private parts. The person is revealed to be Lady Gaga. A close up of her body and face shows that she is covered in dust and mud.
The lasers suddenly shine in her face which blinds her, and she starts to float up into the temple. She lands on the floor violently. The walls and the ceiling are covered in neon glow in the dark paintings of ancient gods. The room is pitch black with no light except from a spotlight across the small temple, which is shining on Zedd. He is standing behind a DJ deck and starts to play the track.
The song begins and black gooey auras start to elevate out of the floor. Gaga looks confused and scared, but is drawn in by the music and begins to dance and sing. The auras become people, nude people. They all pile on top of each other and rub the black goo into each others skin. The rest of the video sees Gaga join them on top of the pile, whilst the music and the party continues. The lasers soon escalate and become bigger and grand. Gaga dances raunchily. The video cuts to close ups of Zedd and close ups of Gaga outside of the temple wearing a see-through latex drape that covers her whole body, which she eventually rips in half. Her nipples are covered by tape. The video ends with everyone in the temple sprinting out of the and rolling down the mountain in the pouring rain.
Taylor Kinney makes a cameo towards the end and is seen holding Gaga in his arms and laughing with her. The video finally cuts to a close up of Zedd and he winks at the camera, and then the video shows a black screen and flashes the text “#TEMPLE”.

Videos released for all “Temple” remixes on Zedd's new remix EP
Videos for every remix featured on the remix EP for Zedd’s current single “Temple” have been uploaded to YouTube and Vevo. All of them are re-edits of the original video aside from the acoustic Zedd Union Remix.
Each video has scenes unique to itself; no other video has them, including the original mix. These videos are otherwise nearly identical to the one for the original mix.
A summary of the video for the Zedd Union Remix can be found below.
The Zedd Union Remix takes a different approach to the song; it is acoustic rather than EDM-based. Therefore, this remix has been given a unique video rather than a re-edit.
The video starts off with Zedd playing the intro of the song on the piano. He is in a blue and white colored studio.
Lady Gaga can be found standing next to the piano wearing a stunning gold-colored dress. She is standing behind a mic stand.
Gaga starts singing the first verse. As she moves to the chorus, she takes the mic off of the mic stand and then sits on the piano. She remains here until the chorus, when she stands up. She sings a more relaxed version of the bridge for this version. Gaga returns to the piano and lies down on it chest-down for the final chorus. She rolls over as the song ends. She gets off of the piano to the accompaniment of light applause in the studio.
This version of the music video is simple, classy, Zedd, and Gaga all at once. The remix provides a different take on the song; it becomes a lovely ballad versus the floor-energizing feel of the original mix or the other remixes on the EP. The video compliments the remix by being more laid back and simpler. Everyone is sure to love this!

2014 Premios Juventud
('Loverboy' Performance)
The release of Taylor Swift's latest single has caused Tigerlily Recordings to become as active as ever, money flying everywhere along with the sales for the song. The release of the song immediately sent Tigerlily Recordings into action for promotion as immediately they began paying for promotional slots for the singer-songwriter to perform on. Some of these slots the Taylor has already performed on include the JUNO Awards, Live With Jimmy Kimmel!, along with some radio promotion, Taylor Swift visiting Ryan Seacrest on Sunday for the first ever interview with Taylor since the release of the 'Loverboy', a Giorgio Moroder produced disco-pop song that addresses the subject of a one night stand or a lust/desire for someone to be with you for the night. The song was penned alone by Taylor herself. The song was written and produced in Paris, France, in Taylor Swift's personal recording studio in her penthouse in Paris. The song was recorded in the time span of two days, Taylor writing the song initially on her guitar the day prior to meeting Giorgio Moroder at a music festival in which she attended. "Meeting Giorgio was kind of surreal. You know I was sort of walking where I wasn't mean to be walking when I saw him. I believe he was in a tent talking to Robin Thicke who was in tears of his wife Paula. That was really odd to witness but I sort of like told Rob that Paula was never coming back to him, especially when the album he named after her sold as much as Katy Perry's GRAMMY count. He sort of left offended but asked me for a hug before he went. Giorgio was dying of laughter but anyway yeah we started talking about the industry today. Somewhere in the midst of us talking about the charts, we got onto the topic of disco. Because the DJ was playing a Donna Summer remix. I told him I was recorded a disco album or wue ning to and he jumped at the idea of working with me on it. So the next day we went in the studio at able ten o'clock where we finished the song in about twenty four hours or so. Along with another song titled 'Danger' which I've played live, at least a snippet of it I think. Working with Giorgio was definitely something I'll remember for the rest of my life. Witnessing a legend who's had so much impact in the music industry the past forty years work on songs for me was just mind-blowing. Our work ethics are so similar as well." We were told that 'Danger' was also up to be the lead single from the upcoming seventh album which has yet to be titled. In the end, Loverboy was released and was met with an amazing response, hitting the top spot on iTunes USA in less than a half an hour, twenty-five minutes to be exact, a feat Taylor Swift accomplished back in 2012 with her fourth album's lead single 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' which sold about 623,000 copies first week, the highest first week sales for a female artist until Taylor Swift broke it herself with 'Gunshots'. Promotion for 'Loverboy' kicked off Sunday morning and has and will continue on into this week. Tonight Taylor Swift was live from Miami, Florida where she performed at the 2014 Premios Juventud awards where she performed her brand new single 'Loverboy'. Taylor was introduced to the stage by Jennifer Lopez. "Please welcome an amazing singer-songwriter who has truly taken over the world. She's also a really good friend of mine. Everyone put your hands together for Taylor Swift!" The lights cut off on Jennifer really quickly as the stage sort of lit up a little with a white light, the floor of thn te stage was foggy. Sparkles glimmered on the screen as a white moon coated with Swarovski crystals descended from the ceiling with Taylor laying on it casually, her legs together on one side as she used a hand to prop herself up. Taylor wore a Giorgio Armani dress, the color of white. The dress cut off at her thighs in the front but it extended about ten feet in the back. The dress hung over the side of the moon, creating an almost visual as Taylor did a few vocalizations before she started singing the first verse, laying back seductively on the moon as it sparkled in the light. The first verse was almost acapella except there was a little jazz disco arrangement playing from the live band. Right before the chorus hit, the stage turned almost dark minus a few lights that shined down as Taylor fell from the moon into darkness. The original arrangement of Loverboy began playing as Taylor was revealed standing in front of some dancers, the dress being stripped off, Taylor wearing a second Giorgio Armani designed dress, one that was studded with Swarovski crystals and that cut off at her thighs. With some knee high boots, Taylor worked the stage, serving vocals and some minor choreography. Her dancers were attractive and Taylor had no problem kissing them on the cheek or lips when she wanted when interacting with them. "That was so much fun. Everything went really well and I think the intro was absolutely amazing. The crowd was full of energy and knew the words which I was a little stunned by. I really had a lot of fun here. I can't wait to tour Miami along with the Latin America territories on the Electric Princess Tour. So excited!" Taylor Swift let out, after coming off stage to be greeted by some outlets who wanted interviews. The performance was a bit epic and helped the song rise on iTunes in countries that consist of Latin America. Taylor Swift's single 'Loverboy' is on iTunes now.

Azealia Banks was interviewed by MTV News today in which she discussed her new album, performing for Rita Ora's FREETHENIPPLE event, and her single Paradiso.
Q: Great to have you here Azealia Banks! Your new album recently debuted at number one with over five hundred thousand sales in one week. How's that make you feel?
A: It's great to be here! And that makes me feel really happy, honestly. The album was something I have put a lot of work and effort into. The work as a whole is something I am really wanting people to listen to and pay attention to you know?
Q: Right totally. The album is great. The critics have loved it too. So far it has an 80 on metacritic. Who inspired this album?
A: Bjork inspired this album. Her album Post is a work of art and it really influenced me to make this album, Reborn. I even used Nellee Hooper as a producer on the album, who also produced a good many of Bjork's greatest songs. Hooper is such a genius and I'm so glad to have worked with her. Bjork has always been an inspiration of mine and I felt I utilized the inspiration into making something beautiful that says both Azealia and shows the inspiration through it, you know? Because I didn't want to make a joke of Bjork and make a horrible album. I wanted this album to truly be something that people will remember.
Q: I think it definitely will be remembered, like I said, such a great album and one of the best this year. You recently announced that this promotional tour for Reborn you've been on will be getting and HBO special. This is true, correct?
A: YES! I will be releasing an HBO special for my Reborn Tour and it will be coming in the next few weeks. We recorded it while I was in Boston and all we have to do is edit it and it will be ready! I can't wait for people to see it, because my tour isn't going to Europe and I want them to be able to experience the Reborn Tour in a different way, you know?
Q: Do we have a date for the HBO special?
A: Not yet we do not.
Q: You said your Reborn Tour won't be going to Europe. Will your next tour go to Europe and what about the Reborn Tour? Is it over after these next few dates?
A: I WILL be going to Europe with my next tour so keep an eye out for dates because they're coming this week, I can guarantee you. The Reborn tour will be over after this week, sadly. It was fun though!
Q: Paradiso is your new single, tell us about that single and what it was like collaborating with Missy, Trina, Shawnna, and even Remy Ma.
A: Yes Paradiso is my new single! It was amazing to collaborate with Missy, Trina, Shawnna, and Remy. They're my girls and while we were recording the remix I truly felt a connection with each of the girls. They're all so sweet and fun to talk to. The song Paradiso is such a fun song. It's about going to the beach and living in paradise and it's done over a really great beat.
Q: The video for Paradiso's remix has gained great attention. Did you expect this?
A: Well yeah I kind of did. the video has all these amazing and talented girls and of course I'd expect all this attention for all of us being in one video together! The video has had so much success and I'm so thankful for that.
Q: One last question, what was it like performing at Rita Ora's FREETHENIPPLE event?
A: It was so much fun! I am so glad to be able to support a fellow girl. Us girls need to be able to free ourselves and our bodies! It was great to perform the Vibes remix with Rita.
Q: That's all the time we have, it was great to have you Azealia Banks, everyone be sure to buy Reborn on iTunes today!
Azealia Banks got interviewed by Fuse and did an acoustic version of her song Vibes+Paradiso for the television channel. Both the interview and acoustic version of Vibes and Paradiso have been uploaded onto YouTube where they've gained a good bit of attention. Bits and pieces of the interview and performances will be airing in between commercial breaks and at a scroll bar on the bottom of your screen while you watch Fuse, promoting Azealia's new album Reborn. Highlights of the interview:
Q: Great to talk to you Azealia! You have a new album called Reborn out right now. Tell everyone a little about that.
A: Yes! I have a new album out and it is called Reborn. It's a great album. It's a fusion of hip hop, trance, trip hop, and electropop. It's such a good album and I want everyone to go check it out. I've been working on the album for so long now and I'm happy to finally share it with the world. It was highly inspired by Bjork and my album has so many songs on there like Vibes and Paradiso that you guys should go check out.
Q: Speaking of Paradiso, your current single, what was it like recording with Remy Ma who just got out of prison?
A: It was such a pleasure and an honor, really. Remy Ma is a legend in hip hop and she's inspired me in my work for so long so for me to work with her was so just wow worthy, in my opinion. Working with all the girls on the Paradiso remix was wow worthy. I mean who else has Missy, Remy, Trina, AND Shawnna all on one track? It truly felt like something from my dreams.
Q: You performed the Paradiso remix with all the girls at the American Music Awards. Do you plan on doing any other promotion with all the girls?
A: Me and all the girls plan to all go on 106&Park together for a special something something that you'll never expect. I'm so excited for what's going to happen but I can't reveal anything yet so just keep a look out on what might happen!
Q: One more thing before we have to go, what will the next single be?
A: The next single from Reborn will be... Floating Down! I plan to reveal all information on the single's release next week. It'll come before August!
Q: We can't wait! Everyone at home be sure to purchase Reborn on iTunes as well as the Paradiso remix featuring all the girls we mentioned above.
