ed-drewett-drunk-dialEd Drewett has released the video for Drunk Dial, the first single from his forthcoming debut album Blink which will be released independently following his departure from Polydor Records.

Drunk Dial is a much more commercial sound for Ed compared to his previous single release of Champagne Lemonade. Its sound is similar to his work on The Wanted’s Lightning. The chorus is simple but extremely catchy, especially the second chorus which is sung in a higher octave – it’s almost anthemic.

The video for Drunk Dial can be seen below:

Drunk Dial will be available on iTunes on March 12th.

Maroon 5 & Avril Lavigne – “Smilephone”

Published September 03rd 2012

Plenty of songs are recycled over and over by producers and given to different artists with new lyrics. Examples of this are Dr. Luke with About You Now by Sugababes and My Life Would Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson, Ryan Tedder with Kelly Clarkson’s Already Gone and Beyconcé’s Halo, Dr. Luke with P!nk’s U + Ur Hand and The Veronicas’ 4ever.

The latest of the bunch is Shellback recycling his track Smile by Avril Lavigne and turning it into Payphone by Maroon 5.

I’ve created a mashup of the two. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get my hands on the official vocal track for Smile but it still shows how easily Smile and Payphone fit together. You can listen to it below:

Nelly Furtado’s lyric video for Parking Lot has been released, strangely before Spirit Indestructible has even been released. This album campaign really is turning into a mess. You can read my thoughts on Parking Lot here.

The lyric video is for the album version of Parking Lot and you can watch it below:

Amelia Lily – “You Bring Me Joy” Music Video

Amelia Lily’s music video for her debut single, You Bring Me Joy, has premiered on VEVO.

You Bring Me Joy was shot in L.A. with Amelia driving around with friends. While it’s not the most eventful video since most of it consists of shopping, spraying a guy with water guns and dancing on the beach, it doesn’t look like a debut video.

Amelia comes across very self-confident and convincing, especially in her scenes on the beach. The video is also edited well and suits the tone of the song.

You can watch the video for You Bring Me Joy below:

You Bring Me Joy is out on September 2nd followed by Amelia’s debut album later this year.
