After Natalia's controversial leave from the label, the label is back with two artists, Grimes, a Canadian artist, and Iggy Azalea, the controversial Australian rapper. Grimes is a critic darling and an indie icon best known for her songs Genesis and Oblivion. Iggy, on the other hand, is a successful rapper with a couple hits under her name such as Fancy, Problem and Black Widow. Schadenfraude Records CEO Gene Thicke said that we can expect great things from both of them and maybe even a couple collaborations.

I'll Lie To Myself - Avril Lavigne
MUSIC VIDEO
The video begins with Lavigne speaking in a confessional voice-over saying:
"I'll continue tricking myself and everyone around me,
I'll go to bed every night saying I don’t love you,
And continue to wake up every morning knowing in my heart that I do"
The title of the single "I'll Lie To Myself" then appeared across the screen and the first verse of the song started playing. The first scene shows a teary-eyed Lavigne on her bridal car, As the car approaches the church, Lavigne's lonely mood suddenly changes, she put on a smile on her face before getting out of the car. The camera shows the beautiful scenery of the church, with Lavigne wearing a long black wedding dress. She walks down the aisle with a fake smile on her face.
While she walks down the altar, Flashback scenes of Lavigne on a white dress suddenly appears. The flashback scene shows her walking on a beautiful garden with her true love Jared Leto. The flashback scene only stops when the chorus of the song started playing.
As the chorus plays, The scene shows Lavigne back to walking down the aisle, the camera shows the face of her groom. Her groom is a different man wearing a black suit. The groom can be seen smiling until Lavigne stops at the middle of the altar. The guests were shocked as she stops and started to close her eyes and the second verse to the song plays.
Another flashback scene wherein Lavigne was seen wearing a white dress to the funeral of her one true love, Jared Leto. Lavigne looks at his grave and remembers their intimate moments such as taking pictures together, writing songs together and resting on the garden where Lavigne is seen lying on Leto's chest. The scene goes back to the altar where guests are all waiting for her to open her eyes. Lavigne opens her eyes and looks at her groom. She sees Jared Leto as her groom. She cannot believe her eyes that's why she closes her eyes once again and she can no longer see Jared Leto as her groom.
The second chorus of the song starts playing as Lavigne imagines herself getting struck by an arrow that causes her to fall on the floor. She opens her eyes as she goes back to reality. She realizes then that her groom is coming to approach her. Tears starts to fall from her eyes as he gets close to her. The groom holds her arm, Lavigne resists. Lavigne starts running away from the altar, The song's bridge started playing.
The bridge to the song plays while she runs away. Lyrics to the bridge are being sung by Lavigne while running away. She only stopped running when she reached the exact garden featured from the flashback scenes. The only difference is that the garden is no more beautiful, the flowers in full bloom are no longer to be found. Lavigne sits on the ground as tears starts to fall from her eyes once again. She starts singing the final chorus of the song until she starts lying on the ground.
The video ends with Lavigne closing her eyes and imagines herself lying on Leto's chest once again as the gloomy garden goes back to its once beautiful state..
A voice over confessional plays of Lavigne saying,
"I'll lie to everyone else. I'll lie to myself,
What is there to lose? The one who holds my heart has already left"
======================
The entire video was shot in the Keukenhof Tulip Gardens in The Netherlands. The video runs for 5 minutes and 15 seconds. The official music video was uploaded to Avril lavigne's vevo account on YouTube.
The support for the video is really strong. Thanks to its 30-second video teaser uploaded 2 days ago that captivated people's interest with its gripping storyline.

Cara Delevingne calls NHK Radio
1014 Words
Cara Delevingne called the biggest radio in japan called 'NHK' as part of the worldwide promotional campaign for her brand new single 'La Belle' which has reached #1 in japan ever since it was released, without ever leaving it's place and keep it's strong lead, selling nearly two times as much as the second song on the charts. La Belle has also been reciving the biggest amount of plays on Urban radio in Japan and is gaining a lot on the all formats radio charts. Variety Records decided to book this interview for Cara so her sales would be even stronger and more stable.
Host: Today we will be interviewing one of the biggest stars in the world and the singer that has the current #1 song on the Japanese ITunes, misses Cara Delevingne!
Cara: Hey guys how are you?
Host: Hey Cara, this is the first time I talk to you! You never have been to Japan.
Cara: Yeah I actually was going to go on my last tour on the Explicit Magazine tour but we didn't end up adding more dates. I am definitely going to Japan on my next tour!
Host: You have a new single out, 'La Belle' is number 1 on ITunes japan congratulations! How does it feel to know people from all around the world buy your music?
Cara: Well first of all, in this sales climate I'm happy I'm doing so well sales wise. Second of all doing so well all around the world makes me really happy.
Host: This same single is from your new album 'Distant Horizon' out next week, could you describe the album is just a few words, no sentences?
Cara: Well... Urban, New York City, moving on, beauty... those would be the words that would be repeated the most when I describe the album.
Host: Is there one song that's like on constant repeat on your iPod that is from the album, besides 'La Belle'?
Cara: Well if not La Belle... maybe 'Honey', yeah I think 'Honey' is a great track and I'm really into it right now. I think I'm gonna have it be the next single.
Host: Ok what about other singers, do you have any song that's sort of stuck in your head right now?
Cara: Actually I have quite a few, I've been randomly singing Kylie Minogue's 'Better Than Today' from her album 'Aphrodite', there's also Justin Bieber's Memphis and Azealia Banks' new single.
Which producer did you enjoy working the most with on the album and why?
Cara: Well I liked working with everyone who ended up on the album. The main producer from my debut album isn't on it and he was nice but I didn't want any more Icona Pop-like EDM. Giorgio Tuinfort is the main producer of this album he was great at telling me how to do things. He knows what needs to be changed. Giorgio Moroder is a disco legend, what can I say more about him? Stargate did the most pop-like song on the album and he just made me dance all throughout the sessions, just like Max Martin, Patrik Berger and Bloodshy & Avant did. There was a few other producers too it was overall just a great experience. Georgio Tuinfort lead the whole album's sound towards a certain direction and made everything sound like it fit well together so I think he is the one I'm the most happy about.
Host: let's talk about when you first started out Cara, what pushed you to start doing music?
Cara: Well it was mostly because of some random people on Twitter who were trying to get me to sign on a label they were creating. Just for fun I started singing and sort of trained my voice, before I started taking it slightly more seriously and going to see a vocal trainer who pushed me into going to see a record label. Obviously being already a celebrity helps, but I didn't get signed without having a voice first. I looked up to basically some of my favorite artists such as Beyonce & Rihanna and basically I was full of being like them some day. And look where I am now, I'm not doing that bad *Laughs*
Host: Do you play any instruments?
Cara: None until recently, when I started taking piano lessons and some producers and teachers started teaching me some piano, I played the synths for the opening track of my album 'Kiss To My Heart' but that's it. I'm really trying to have more and more implication in the creation of my own music.
Hosts: How do you manage your time between being a socialite, model and singer?
Cara: Well I just live every day as much as I can, I don't lose my time and use the day to it's fullest if you see what I mean so I have time to do everything. The past like 2 or 3 years have been pretty hectic.
Host: During your first album era, you were pretty much known for having a very provocative list of things you did. You even flashed your boob at the Grammys! most critics say you definitly have been toning down everything just to get to a bigger public, especially since you used to say you would never tone anything down because that's what you're all about, thoughts on those comments?
Cara: Well I don't tone down anything I just apply everything to the album. My debut had sex as a main subject and the theme was pretty much recurrent everywhere. On this album sex is only a secondary subject. So it's just not as important during this era. Besides if I was toning down things only to please the public wouldn't I have also gone to a less experimental or more generic route then Urban?
Host: Thank you for answering those questions it was amazing to talk to you Cara for the first time! I hope we'll meet you in person the moment you are in Japan!
Cara: Thank you so much!
*Plays La Belle*

Grimes Releases New Single
![](http://i.minus.com/jeYI2HPqN3ovd.jpg)
Title: Playing Pirates
Artist: Grimes
Writers: Claire Elise Boucher, Natalia Cappuccini, Sia Furler, Greg Kurstin Jeff Bhasker
Producers: Claire Elise Boucher, Greg Kurstin, Jeff Bhasker
Genre: Experimental Synthpop, Afrobeat, Witch House
Length: 4:36
Label: Schadenfreude Records
The song was previously released by Natalia Kills with Schadenfraude Records but when she left, Grimes saw potential in the song. She then rewrote and changed up the production a little bit. The song sounds like an ethereal breakup song and perfectly exudes isolation and shipwreck, what one would feel like after a beautiful relationship ends.

TAYLOR VISITS CAPITAL FM IN LONDON
![](http://40.media.tumblr.com/c9420a017ee4a944c977e546188af8e8/tumblr_nd34ghkCBs1qb86xno1_500.jpg)
Taylor Swift flew from Paris last night to London, England where she arrived in elegance end style, wearing a beautiful dress designed by Zuhair Murad. The singer-songwriter appeared to be alone only causing further rumors to spark about the supposed split between the american pop star and her boyfriend, Simon Nessman. Sources indicate that Taylor left him back in Frankfurt after noticing and growing tired of his selfish and impulsive ways. One source says, “He tried to control Taylor. It wasn’t like that at first; not at all really until the past two or three months. Everytime she would go on set to film or head in the studio, he’d get an attitude. He wanted her around more. So when Taylor decided to go out and promote ‘Style’, he really wasn’t having it. They’d get in screaming matches at the house. To try to make it work, Taylor even invited him along to travel and promote with her. He agreed but even then he grew tired of her fast lifestyle. Although Taylor really loves him, she said she loves music, work, and her fans more. There’s no wondering if they will ever get back together.”
Taylor Swift seemed to be unaffected by whatever was going in her life today as she showed up at Capital FM studios looking gorgeous in a sequined crop top and bottom that was a shade of white. Her heels were tall and her hair was laid for the gods as she smiled for the cameras and even took a picture here and there with the fans. It even got so personal that Swift was asked by a fan whether or not she was fine after her odd behavior in interviews as of late (Swift gave a very irratic interview on Le Grand Journal and Saturday Night Online where she lost her temper). Taylor answerd them with a smile, but first a hug. She hugged the male fan for about ten seconds before she nodded, tearing up. “I’m fine. Don’t worry, okay, I’m just fine. I promise. I want you to take good care of yourself alright. I love you.” The moment was a shining light in the midst of the chaos going around Swift; millions of fans were running up to the singer-songwriter who’s gotten quite the high profile in London. Moments later, Swift would stand at the entrance of Capital FM studios before giving a final wave to the paparazzi and fans who were outside.
Swift would go into the studio and greet the members of the Capital FM crew, including the DJs during a commercial break. During the commercial break, she quickly socialized with everyone and even served cooked she’d baked earlier that morning. The radio Djs ate quickly as Swift took her seat and put her her headset on to begin her interview with the biggest pop radio station in the United Kingdom.
“The wonderful, beautiful, talented, and baker, Taylor Swift is here. Say hello!”
“Why hello, London, how are you?”
“I think they’re doing quite well now that you are blessing us with your presence.”
“Aren’t you just a charmer.”
“Charming enough to ask you out for a date this evening?”
“Hm, maybe. Let’s not move too fast though.”
“Ah you’re great. Tell us, what’ve you been doing in London since you’ve arrived.”
“I actually went to a hotel and got some well deserved rest. I haven’t slept much since leaving the US earlier last week.”
“Well I’m glad you are. You’re actually in London quite a lot. When are you going to buy a huge apartment here and finally stay here?”
“I’m really dying to get a place here. But I already get so much flack now from my parents and friends about all the houses I own. I mean I have one in Los Angeles, New York City, Rhode Island, Paris, so they’re really bitchy about that but I definitely think I’m going to get a house here soon. I”m in love with London, I always have been, it’s probably the third city I go to the most after New York City and Paris.”
“Well we do hope you get a place here. It’d be nice to have you around. You mentioned sleeping when getting here, are you going to do anything else personal related while here? Maybe a lunch date, a visit, or something?”
“I’m actually visiting someone for dinner tonight. I’m really excited about it, I think it’ll be fun.”
“Can you tell us who?”
“A girl never kisses and tells.”
“Alright then, tell us about ‘Style’. It’s been killing it right here on Capital FM.”
“Firstly, thank you guys so much for playing it. Radio has such a huge part in the making of music you don’t even know. So the fact you guys are playing my stuff constantly, getting people to buy it, it’s amazing. Thank you for that. But the song is a really sexy I think almost eighties miami vice type of sounding song. It’s really just about a unstable relationship that’s continuing because they just can’t get enough of each other. You can interpret that in many many different ways if you get what I mean. But I think it’s basically a song that describes a fallout in a relationship that both of them don’t mind because they know by the time next week they’re going to be in each other’s bed wrapped up together.”
“Are you going through something like that, right now?”
“I see what you’re trying to do, you slick bastard but no I’m not. I’m actually doing really good right now to many’s surprise.”
“Alright so tell us about this Greatest Hits album? What are we getting on it?”
“On the Greatest Hits album you’re getting all those old hits like Loverboy, Born Into Sin, I Swear, Time After Time, Serenity. All thirteen of the biggest and most memorable hits of my career. I rerecorded some of them for an updated and fresh type of sound so that fans could really hear how it sounds now because my voice is constantly changing for the better. Compared to my early years, I sound so much better so I did that. As for disc two that’s all new stuff. It’s some unreleased stuff from previous album, it’s some new stuff. Just songs I really loved that didn’t really fit with the record I was making at the time. They’re not really leftovers more so are they tracks I really loved but just couldn’t fit on the project I was working on at the time. Lastly, the DVD. The DVD has some music videos, including some live performances I recorded at the Abbey Road with artists like Zendaya, Eric Saade, and Justin Bieber.”
“Speaking of Justin, you’ve both hinted at ‘Too Good To Lose’ becoming a single. Is anything set in stone yet?”
“Justin and I were actually on the phone this morning talking about the song. Fans are really loving it. On iTunes I believe the song is like #3 on the iTunes charts alone. That’s really ****ing crazy. We both knew it’d most likely go top ten when released but it definitely surpassed our expectations. But um, anyway, we kinda both knew the song would end up being a single. After we wrote and recorded it, I remember Justin being like “Shit, Taylor. This is going to have to be a single. If not, the fans will absolutely kill us.” From the response it’s gotten it’s pretty much forced to be a single sooner than later.”
“We can’t wait for that. We hear you’re filming a video next week. What’s it for? What song.”
“You know.”
“I’m guessing you’re not telling us. But at least tell us a little about the ‘Style’ video.”
“The style video is absolutely gorgeous. I think it’s one of my best videos. I have a really talented actor playing my leading man in it and I think people will just be shocked with how really visually stunning it is. It’s got a few hot and steamy moments but they’re all done in great taste.”
“Well we want to thank you so much for coming in Taylor. You Greatest Hits album, Yours: The Greatest Hits is out next week but before you go, we hear you’re performing an acoustic rendition of ‘Style’”
“Thank you so much for having me and yes, I am.”

Karmin was interviewed by Digital Spy a British entertainment and media news website.
Quote:
After a whirlwind of ups and downs these past couple years, Karmin have started their new chapter with a new label, "Title Records". They first released "Hello" an EP which sparked the hit Brokenhearted and they followed it up with their debut album "Pulses", however commercially it underperformed and they parted ways with their label. Now they're here to give us a little insight of what they've been up to, talk about their new single and discuss what the future holds for them.
DS: Thank you for taking some time out to sit down with us, Amy and Nick, or as you're more known as, Karmin.
Amy: The privilege is all ours, thank you for having us, we're very excited to be here in London!
DS: You're here to tell us about your new single, "Crazy", what would you say the song was about and how did it come about?
Amy: Well... I'll let Nick explain.
Nick: Oh thanks, basically we wrote this just after we had released Pulses and with the drama and stress going on between us and our previous label, we decided to write how we felt, but a crazy thing happened, pardon the pun. Amy decided to go to Starbucks and she over heard this woman telling her friend about this guy who she really likes and she can't stop thinking about him, but he doesn't notice her and it's driving her crazy. So Amy came running back, shouting that she has the perfect song to write, so we scrapped what we had, kept the name of the song but made it into a love story sort of, sent it off to The Messengers who we've worked with before on Pulses and it turned into this.
DS: The magic of Starbucks! Well we saw your performance on Good Morning America and it was mind blowing, the song sounds great live.
Nick: Yeah, when we were writing it, we really wanted to make sure it sounded good live, a song where you could basically drift into while listening, ignore what's around you and be in your moment, your zone.
DS: So this is your lead single from your upcoming album, any chance you could let us know what it's called? Any hints at least?
Amy: Haha, sorry, but we can't. Mainly because we're not too sure either, we've been discussing titles and there's been times where we've agreed but then took a minute to think about it and felt it wasn't right.
Nick: Yeah, I've told Amy that we have to choose a name for the album by next month or she has to shave all of her hair off.
DS: Well I guess we better speed this up then, we don't want to have any involvement in the loss of Amy's hair.
Karmin: (Laughs)
DS: So, you talked about a tour in the future, will this be before or after the album's released?
Amy: We hope to go out on a small tour before the release, just to create some buzz then after the album's released, we hope to go on a world tour, hopefully.. Depends on how things work out.
DS: And is the album completed it or are you still in the studio?
Nick: We're still working on a few songs, most of it's done, it's just tweaking a few things, making sure everything sounds right.
DS: Any collaborations?
Amy: Hmm...
Nick: We can't say just yet, but there could be one or two collaborations.
DS: Well I think that's all the time we have, it's been great talking to you both and good luck with the single.
Karmin: Thank you.
Karmin's new single Crazy is out now
