What's Hot

.
If anyone can attest to the power of a viral video, surely it’s Kimbra. The singer from New Zealand’s stock has soared after her splendid turn as the woman to Australian singer/songwriter Gotye’s disgruntled man in his smash single “Somebody That I Used To Know,” and its accompanying — and visually spectacular — music video.

And while Kimbra recently released Vows,  her major-label debut now, now she’s once again linked up for another killer collaboration. This time she’s partnered with Mark Foster of Foster The People and acclaimed DJ A-Trak, one half of DJ duo Duck Sauce, for the hot new track, “Warrior,” whose music video you can watch below.

One year ago, Natassia Zolot, better known as Kreayshawn, erupted onto the hip-hop scene, almost exclusively due to her designer-dropping song and video for breakout song “Gucci Gucci.” That she signed a reported $1 million major-label contract simply goes to show you the power of the viral-video -star making machine in today’s wacky music biz. Now, 12 months and a boatload of press later, as she prepares to drop her debut album, Somethin’ Bout Kreay, in August, we get “Breakfast (Syrup),” the first single off her new LP.

Sean Kingston is back, people! The reggae-pop star recently dropped “Back 2 Life (Live It Up),” the title track off his forthcoming album which is set to be released in July. And the track, a dance-pop cut overrun by skuzzy synths and a menacing beat, features the rap styling of none other than T.I. This isn’t the first time that the two have paired up; the rapper was featured on Kingston’s 2009 cut “Wrap U Around Me” from his sophomore album, Tomorrow. You can take a listen to “Back 2 Life (Live It Up)” below.

What appears to be Whitney Houston’s final recording has surfaced online. “Celebrate,” a duet with Jordin Sparks, can now be heard on RyanSeacrest.com. The R. Kelly-produced song was reportedly recorded shortly before Houston’s death, and was made for Sparkle, the remake of the 1976 film, starring both Houston and Sparks.
