Group IAMMEDIC has a new album in the works called Monster Monster and the lead single is “Breathe”. The track is a bit of departure from their norm and is the self-described “slow song of the album”. That being said, even if you’re a fan of IAMMEDIC for their dance tunes, I think the majority of you will find a way to appreciate this one too. It’s a refreshing change of pace if you ask me. Guess what? It’s also a free DL so get it via the bandcamp widget.
This isn’t exactly breaking news but we still found it worth sharing – International all-female pop group, The Wonder Girls, have finally found themselves listed on some Billboard metrics. No, they didn’t have a number single with “Be My Baby” or album with Wonder World, but rather, they have debuted at #33 on Billboard’s Social 50 Chart. Never heard of the chart? Here’s an explanation:
A ranking of the most active artists on the world’s leading social networking sites. Artists’ popularity is determined by a formula blending their weekly additions of friends/fans/followers along with artist page views and weekly song plays, as measured by Next Big Sound.
It’s interesting to see Billboard continue to explore new ways to measure and quantify music consumption in an increasingly medium-diverse world. That being said, this is a notable milestone but I imagine it’s not quite the impact the ladies and JYP are willing to settle for. We’ll keep you updated along the way!
It’s officially the day before Thanksgiving. Not that has anything to do with this post… but regardless! Today we have a collection of Youtube covers by male artists that are actually showcasing their rendition of songs by Top 40 female artists. Mickey Cho, Mike Isberto, New Heights, Andrew Huang, and Oak & Gorski have all made roll call and give their best to do the original artists justice. Which one is your favorite?

On November 29th you’ll be able to check out the music video to Jessi Malay‘s newest single, “Role Play” ft Prophet. To help encourage a little buzz, the singer and her team have posted up the trailer clip to the visuals. It looks like they went all out for this one, with production values looking sharp. It looks like it may be a bit risque, for better or worse depending where you fall on the subject. We’ll have it up once it’s officially released!
