Tweet It's that time again!

Most of the new music this week is Christmas themed, but I want to keep that separate. Expect a Christmas music post later this week!


Clinton Sparks, Mike Posner, and Big Sean--> Ambiguous



Ummm... I wasn't expecting this sound, but I. love. it. I'm not sure why, but I do. It's a song that a girl would normally make, which makes it cool that it's a bunch of dudes.


Martin Solveig ft. Dragonette--> Hello



It's catchy with a cute voice... it'll probably be pretty big.


Rihanna--> S&M



She's rollin' out these singles, huh?! I'm not a big fan of the beginning of her songs being terribly annoying. It's going to turn people off. Once you get beyond that, it's a typical Rihanna song. Of course the chorus is still annoying, but it makes a little more sense, at least.


Sean Kingston--> Party All Night [Sleep All Day]



I can see myself using this song as quotes for all my Facebook/party photo albums. It's a fun party anthem, and another typical Sean Kingston song. I can dig it, though.


Kanye West ft. Rihanna and a million others--> All of the Lights



Surprisingly enough, I do like this song. It reminds me a little of a cross of "Live Your Life" and "Empire State of Mind." Maybe I'm imagining things, but it's my opinion. Also- I found a million different versions of this song, so we shall see which one is the "real" one.


Duke Nice and GP- Good Things Take Time



It's been a long time since we've heard anything from Duke, but I'm glad he's back! He's one talented guy and teamed up with GP- There's no tellin' how much of the world they can take over. Be on the lookout friends... They're going to be big names.


Now, do tell- What do you love?



I promise I pay attention and play what you tell me to!

love,

exclusive interview: the newjacks

It's time for another love, elizabethany EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!!!

I've been waiting to do this one for a long time, but I just had to wait for the right time to get these guys. As of now you may not have heard of them, but just watch.. You'll be hearing a lot about them real soon. They're talented as a duo and individually, and given the chance, they'll take the world by storm.

Today they released their first mixtape as a duo, which gave me the perfect opportunity to call them up and have a little chat... With an exclusive performance, too, of course! Check it out:

To check out their mixtape, click on the picture of the cover above.
Check out their Myspaces by clicking on the following pictures.

As for whether or not they look like Cuba Gooding Jr and The Game... YOU be the judge:

What do you think??

I think they're definitely them! Wow. But anyways, spread the word, people! I'm counting on you to help me help these guys out. We thank you! ;)

love,
elizabethany

EXCLUSIVE: meet PHZ-Sicks

This is the FIRST EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW for love, elizabethany!

PHZ-Sicks is a rapper from Northern Virginia and just released an online mixtape, available for download here, called "The Feature Presentation."





I gave him a call to find out more about the mixtape, him, and how he feels about a certain recent SNL skit.

Check it out.. Now!

**Please keep in mind it IS the first one I have done, I'm using a free audio editor, and a terribly slow computer. There are a couple kinks, but they will be fixed as I do more.**



Make sure to check out PHZ-Sicks' NEW mixtape, "The Feature Presentation" on his Myspace right now!!

love,
elizabethany

PS: The next interview will feature Duke Nice!

tunes on tuesday 101408

I planned on making this week's "Tunes on Tuesday" [catchy, right? I just thought of it.. :-P] completely dedicated to Woodbridge/Northern VA up-n-comers. I guess I will post-pone that til next week thanks to the lack of being able to get ahold of some people. ;)

First up: Pink--> Sober



I think this song [which is her second single from her latest album] is very different for Pink, but I'm not complaining. At first I was a little unsure, but it's another one of those you have to warm up to. I'm a little confused on what it's really about. Is it actually a love song from Pink? Or is she talking about drugs, and coming down from them? Hmmm. Either way, I enjoy.


Next: Montana Tucker ft. Flo Rida--> Turn It Up



First of all, who is Montana Tucker? I had no idea what to expect when I heard this. I was wondering if it was some country singer or something! Sounds like it, right? Anyways, no wonder I haven't heard of her before, she sounds terrible! She sounds very disney-star-turned-singer. Apparently she's some amazing dancer. I'll have to check some stuff out because her singing is not up to par for me. The song could be good, but I'm sick of computerized voices.


How 'bout Ace of Base--> Wheel of Fortune 2009



ACE OF BASE IS BACK?! CAN IT BE TRUE?! I was pumped when I saw this, since they were the first album I ever bought back in the day. I am let down, though. I'm not saying it's a bad song necessarily, but it's VERY European, and I don't see it working here. Maybe out at some clubs, but definitely not radio. But who knows, I could be wrong. It's being released to promote their Greatest Hits album worldwide, which explains the not-exactly-American aspect.


and Brutha ft. Fabolous--> Can't Hear the Music



The new group called Brutha just received my seal of approval. This is a fun, but pretty song! Their voices are great! [They might be giving Day26 a run for their money real quick!] They're even coming out with their own show called "My Brother's Keeper" on BET in November, and their music video premieres TOMORROW so I'll be sure to get that for everyone. I think we oughtta keep an eye on these guys.


Finally, I'm going to give you one NoVA-nator, as I'd like to call those kids from Northern Virginia.
This is Duke Nice/GP/John Mayer--> Neon Mix

Boomp3.com

This guy, Duke Nice, went to my high school and has been working really hard ever since with this music thing. He's grown a lot, and he's only going to get better. As of October 25 he'll have a new site up so that everyone can check out what he's been working on. It's something different, something anyone and everyone can enjoy. They took "one of their favorite John Mayer songs" and remixed it to turn it into a great vibe of a song. I advise you check it out. :)


That is all for today! Hope you enjoy!

Also, quick poll: How many readers want to hear more country songs/stories/news etc.?

If you're from NoVA and want me to put up a song next week, let me know!

love,
elizabethany

PS: Shouts to THF once again for providing me with my list of songs. ;)
