Willow Smith Is Still Trying To Happen

Back in May, we were introduced to 'Melodic Chaotic', a duo-project with the 'Whip My Hair' singer and D.J. “MVSIC” Fabrega. Earlier today, they premiered the video for their first offering '#SUMMERFLING.' Over a beach-side vibe, the track is by no means a 'Whip My Hair' but its still cute at its best. At least she's trying. On a side note, it is slightly adult for a girl her age. I mean, singing about love? You're like 6 and a half years old, go sing about twinkies or playdo or some business. And on another side note, I also don't understand why she's wearing a wig made out of Nicki Minajs armpit hair in the video.

Listen: Nicky Romero vs Krewella - Legacy (Original Mix)

To be honest, I've been looking for an excuse to post this since I heard it during Nicky Romeros set at Coachella and, since the Original Mix debuted a few moments ago, what better time to share than now! Leading with a beautiful piano piece and laced with beautiful vocals (provided by the sisters of Krewella), the track builds slowly before coming to a thumping dance breakdown. This is a must here for dance music lovers alike!

Leona Vs Ellie: Who Did 'Burn' better?

Recently, Ellie Goulding premiered the lead single from the upcoming re-release from her second album 'Halycon', 'Burn'. Earlier today, a demo of the same track surfaced on the internet but X-Factor starlet Leona Lewis. But who did it better?
Over a Stargate-like beat (Rihanna - What's My Name), produced and co-written by Ryan Tedder, housing the infectious chant of "gotta let it burn burn burn" the two tracks are essentially the same. The only differentiating factor here are the voice and in this bloggers opinion, that is what makes the key difference.
As we all know it, Leonas voice is pretty versatile. Whether she's doing her trademark ballads, rnb mid-tempos or straight up dance cuts, she somehow makes it work each time and this is no exception. She just sounds simply divine. Whereas in this case, Ellies voice just sounds straight up out of place. Though the indie-pop songstress has shone on previous top-40 ready cuts such as 'Lights' and 'Anything Can Happen', the track simply doesn't feel like an Ellie Goulding song. All in all the song itself is pretty ok. Its nothing special and nothing groundbreaking, but its cute. If you ask me, Leona did it better purely based on what her vocals bring to the record. (Sorry I can't find a stream link for Leonas version, but I'm still looking)

Cheryl Cole Eyes Solo-Star Return..

Yuhp, you read correctly, Cheryl Cole is returning to the music scene it seems. "Back with my first true love", the Geordie starlet wrote on her Instagram account accompanied with the picture above. After putting last project, 'A Million Lights', on hold to take part in the Girls Aloud farewell tour, the star is once again ready to go it alone. Despite this being album 4, the 'Call My Name' star has yet to release a cohesive, enjoyable album but 4th time lucky perhaps? With her album sales declining with each release, Cheryl really needs to pull something out the bag and not rely a whole era off the back of a number one hit.

New Chris Brown and Rihanna Duet Confirmed For 'X'

With previous reports reporting the 'Beautiful People' star demanded to keep the duet off his upcoming album, the song has now been confirmed to appear on the stars upcoming record by the singer himself on Twitter. The record label reportedly were adamant about putting the track, 'Put It Up', on the tracklisting despite Browns views and the fact that the pair have since broken up. This will now be the fourth time that the pair have teamed up for a song.
What does this mean? What happens in the likelihood that the song becomes a success regardless of the fact that the song sees a proper release or not? How will Rihanna feel? Will Rihanna promote it on her own social media anyway? Will she appear in a possible music video? Will anyone actually care?

What's Miss Britney Spears Been Up To?

Since releasing the amazing 'Femme Fatale' album, the pop princess has been rather quiet as of late in the music realm. Of course she's went to Starbucks, featured on will.i.ams ''Scream and Shout', went to starbucks, brought out the smurftastic 'Ooh La La', went to Starbucks, done the odd magazine cover and went to Starbucks, but fear not! She is coming back..and coming back a little bit more urban.
Hitting the studio hard, promising recently that this album would be her most personal offering to date, the singer has been linked with numerous producers. Those of which include Dr. Luke (yay), Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins (yay), Naughty Boy (yay), Diplo (double yay), Danja (yay), William Orbit (yay), Hit Boy (yay), MIKE WiLL MADE IT (yay) and will.i.am (BOO). Though I wouldn't get too excited at the prospect of an urban/hip hop album from the Godney, especially considering we were essentially promised an album soaked in dubstep. When in actuality, the Holy Spearit merely just dipped her toes into the dubstep-pool. With a star studded line up of eclectic producers and a Vegas residency and show in the horizon, Britney may just, if you will, do it again.
A release by the end of the year is likely, but with little known about the project from the star herself and her team, its anyones guesses as to how the final product will turn out. Maybe I'm just reading too much into things, but I for one am excited. Are you?

Listen: The Original Sugababes Are Back!

About time! After months upon months of teasing, MutyaKeishaSiobhan stream the long-awaited debut single from their forthcoming new album. After hearing the snippet, I was severely underwhelmed but after hearing the track in full, this couldn't be a more perfect comeback track for the girls. Harmonising like sweet angels, the girls have never sounded better. The Dev Hynes produced track is set to be released on September 1st.

Jay Z Teams Up With Beyonce Once Again on, Part 2 (On the Run)

Almost 10 years after releasing the now iconic ’03 Bonnie & Clyde’, Jay Z and wife Beyonce team up once again for the sequel, 'Part 2 (On the Run)'. Following the same theme as its previous ancestor, the couple brag about being bad-ass and their love for each other and simply don't care about getting caught on their outlaw activities. They don't care as long asf they have each other, and ask what wants the cliche love story anyway (d'awww). I don't have to tell you this is going to be a huge hit, right? Good. Listen here: PART II (ON THE RUN)(feat. BeyoncĂ©) by BeyoncĂ© HD

Justin Timberlake Debuts Boobalicious New Video for 'Tunnel Vision'

Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. I'm sure there's a really artistic reason behind this video that simpletons like myself don't quite understand. Brings a whole new meaning to bringing "sexy back", that's all I have to say. Can't wait to see the TV friendly version..

The Conorverses Top 5 Dance Tracks of the Week

David Guetta & GLOWINTHEDARK - Ain't a Party (feat. Harrison): No high profile celebrity features or no by-the-numbers predictable dance break. Can you believe it, ladies and gentleman, this really is a David Guetta track. Co-produced by upcoming dutch dj duo glowintheddark, the track goes all in with a progressive beat and an aggressive chant of "It Aint a party without me!" before dropping a hardstyle inspired dance breakdown.
Sidney Samson - Magic Shield (feat. Eva Simons): Dutch producer Sidney Samson and girlfriend, Dance Queen Eva Simons, hook up on this EDM banger. Listen Here: http://youtu.be/cCzDCHqNWK4
Duck Sauce - It's You - Most people will remember Duck Sauce for their anthem 'Barbara Streisand' and 'Big Bad Wolf', and they're back with the first single off their new album, 'Quack'. The funky fusion track is insatiably catchy, and perhaps even one to look out for on the charts. Especially with the fantasticly random video.
The Marvelettes – Please Mr. Postman (Borgore / Luke & Skywalker Remix) Take a classic 50's record, dubstep maestro Borgore, and EDM duo Luke and Skywalker and what do you get? A surprisingly good 'illiminati trap' record that goes hard.
Macklemore x Ryan Lewis - Can't Hold Us (Major Lazer remix): Conorverse favourite, Major Lazer, turn the Macklemore cut on its head and give it a complete head-banging sova meets trap makeover.
