This is on Nike‘s level of advertising. Adidas have most certainly gone all in with this new advert. ‘Heart over head. Inclusion over ego. United by passion, we go all in.’ In the advert, you see the likes Lionel Messi, B.o.B., Katy Perry, Derrick Rose, David Beckham and more. The cinematography is amazing and editing is really something else. What really tops it off is the Justice soundtrack, it’s the French electro duo’s new single titled ‘Civilization‘. After watching the advert, I have rediscovered my love for electro. They were one of my favourites, the new album will most certainly be copped. Watch the advert on the reverse.

I was supposed to post this much earlier but due to a combination of excessive drinking, loud music and tiredness I failed to deliver this on time. Here we have the new music video for friend of the site Jessie J‘s newest single ‘Price Tag’. The B.O.B assisted track is taken from her forthcoming debut album and is more of a reflection of who Jessie is as an artist and what we can expect from the album. The hard hitting ‘Do It Like A Dude’ was an introduction to the mainstream and now ‘Price Tag’ is it’s mellow counterpart. Peep the video on the flipside.

The name Alex Da Kid should be familiar with readers as DJB first wrote about him here, with his post ‘Meet Alex Da Kid’. Since that post, 6 months have been and gone and during that time the London born producer has made even more strides forward in the industry. It would be hard to disagree that he created the biggest single of the year with Eminem and Rihanna. ‘Love The Way You Lie’ was the biggest selling song in the UK even though it only peaked at number 2. It went one step better in the US though were the track spent 7 weeks at number 1, selling over 4 million units. As if that wasn’t enough, the song has now been nominated for 5 Grammy awards including ‘Record of The Year‘ and ‘Song of The Year‘. More on the flipside.
This guy is heavily underrated in my opinion, he touches on the subject in one of the tracks that leaked a few weeks back ‘Beast Mode‘. It’s got major plays on my iTunes this week, mainly because I need to turn ‘Beast Mode’ on with my university work which I’m kind of slacking on at the moment. Enough of me, B.o.B released his much anticipated mixtape yesterday, check it out after the cut. I haven’t had a chance to listen to it myself but it’ll be my fuel for journey tomorrow into Central London. Fun.
If this guy doesn’t blow up this year, I’ll eat my favourite pair of sneakers. Most of ya’ll should know him by now thanks to the songs with Bobby Ray and Travie McCoy. This Hawaiian-born singer is an exceptionally talented vocalist whose voice reminds me a little of Robin Thické but a younger, more ‘edgier’ vibe to it. He released a 4 song EP a few months back and this is the first video off it, track features B.o.B. and Cee-Lo. Peep it after the cut.
Easily one of my favourite songs of the year, B.o.B.’s 3rd single off his debut album that features Paramore singer, Hayley Williams. I’m surprised after her recent twitpic topless scandal, she actually twitpic’d a topless photo of herself instead of direct messaging it to her boyfriend. #epicfail. They actually filmed their scenes separately; I quote here: “Though Paramore frontwoman and the Atlanta rapper shot their scenes separately, their isolation just adds to the cloud of loneliness that looms over “Airplanes.” -Billboard. Video after the cut.
