Janelle Monae ft. Erykah Badu: Q.U.E.E.N. (Video Premiere)

“Am I weird to dance alone late at night?”

Janelle Monae has just released the video for her impossibly good collaboration with Erykah Badu aka Badoula Oblongata, and as you might expect it’s damn near perfection. Ultra sleek black and white visuals and attitude for days from the stunning ladies, we’re obsessed! Seriously, How amazing do they look? What a pair!

It’s so great Janelle puts so much effort into the visuals, as well as the music. She’s the total package, and these days those artists are few and far between!

Mariah Carey Teases #Beautiful Single

Mariah has teamed up with Miguel on her forthcoming single ‘#Beautiful’, due for release on May 6th. A few days ago, she shared a fresh sounding teaser video, which looks wise gives me serious ‘Butterfly’ era vibes. And tonight she unveiled the single cover.

In other Mariah news, she renewed her wedding vows with Nick Cannon at Disneyland. The Cinderella themed occasion marked their fifth wedding anniversary… and she shared the experience on Vine. Hashtags and Vines…she’s so current!

A video is on the way, and you can watch a teaser for it below. As always, Janelle looks flawless!

Boris Dlugosch and Roisin Murphy‘s collaboration, ‘Look Around You,‘ has finally been released!

This appears to be the official video for Look Around You. Not sure I understand it. Do you?

I wish it was a better video and she was in it!

Evian Launch New “Baby & Me” Campaign

Evian has just released a teaser of their hilarious new commercial called “Baby and Me” which follows the same theme as “Roller Babies”, which went viral a few years ago. In the clip, people come face-to-face with baby versions of themselves and a dance off ensues!

Also, from mid-May you’ll be able to download the “Baby & Me” app and meet your baby self. You simply take a picture of yourself and the nifty facial recognition software will babify you!
