 Hatik has released today the video for 'Adieu Mon Amour'. It marks the end of  the Chaise Plainte era. There is no better one for this big chapter. It separates from other rap songs: There is no need for talking about money,sex and drugs . It is just the emotion of a love undermined, destroyed , which is inevitably ending. Hatik combines his best poetic lyrics with his deep pain. This is reflected on the video, where the rapper uses his acting skills to bring drama. Some images seem in slow-motion as Hatik was remebering  the good times of the relationship. In contrast, the scenes where the couple is arguing are faster and shot pretending to get you involved. After rescheduling his tour to 2021 , due to coronavirus, Hatik is preparing the next album while he says goodbye to the last in his most authentic way. Director: Anne Rivoallan

 On Thursday Machine Gun Kelly released the video for ' Forget Me Too' (featuring Halsey). The song stood out from the rest of MGK's new album songs , Tickets to my Downfall, where he forgets rap to be a pop-punk star. On the track , Halsey's autotuned voice remembers of Evanescence and her look in the video does too.   His partnership with Travis Barker from Blink-182 , who also appears in the video, began in ' I think I'm Okay' (ft. Yungblud) , included in his 2019 project , Hotel Diablo . With inspiration from Blink-182 and Fall Out Boy, there are tracks that reproduce the same pop-punk spirit as the 2000s ones and others that have a modern spin ( 'My Ex's Best Friend' , feat Blackbear). Other artists influenced by 90s bands are Twenty One Pilots and Post Malone. Both artists covered an Oasis classic (' Don't Look Back In Anger ') for Leeds Festival in 2019. Post Malone, despite having great success doing rap, he sounds more authen

Usually I recommend videos but I decided to suggest you listening to the 'song vs song' podcast, hosted by Todd Nathanson and Dany Roth,specially their latest episode (with Grady Smith as special guest). In this episode they debated about what song represents more bro-country, 'Dirt Road Anthem' by Jason Aldean or 'Cruise' by Florida Georgia Line. For those who does not what  Bro-country is, it is a country sub-genre originated in 2010s and that usually recruits country stereotypes (tracks, girls with jeans, beer, Friday nights...), frequently mistaken with nowadays country music. (There is deeper country music, truly richer).  Influenced by rock and rap, both songs got rap remixes (Jason Aldean with Ludacris (Do not confuse Jason Aldean rap verse with Ludacris one)  and Florida Georgia Line with Nelly, as Kane Brown is doing right now) and they stated a new country wave. Despite the songs were released a few years ago the Podcasters take it back to nowadays. Th

2020 CMT Awards are set to be next week and because of that, I remember today Brett Young and Boyz II Men live show for CMT Crossroads ,CMT section that brings together a country singer/group with a musician from other genre to play live songs from both artists.  It is usually interesting to see different genres artists singing country songs, which contributes to globalise country music. Due to country music's progressive spin to pop music , these live shows have shown bonds and things in common between pop and country singers . Great example is Nick Jonas and Thomas Rhett's gig . Thomas Rhett has recognised his admiration for Bruno Mars and some of his songs sound like Maroon 5's ones. We can see it too in the last Crossroads show, starring Kelsea Ballerini and Halsey. Tracks like ' Miss Me More' or their collaboration ' The Other Girl' , highlight that they are truly pop.  Let's focus now on Brett Young and Boyz II Men 's show! The show took place

 Miguel has dropped today the music video for 'Funeral', a song that was released on last year's November first - yes you  heard it right.  The song did not have so much success and it was, supposedly, the lead single for an EP, set to be released last winter. The track is dark. Miguel is  not afraid of connecting religion and death  references with desire. You can feel a bit of rawness ('blood on the carpet'). Maybe it is the darkness what has not helped to pop the song. Miguel had previously talked or added religious references in the past, as in Wildheart (whose review you can read by clicking on 'album reviews'), like in'Coffee' ('two lost angels discover salvation').  Despite the song can sound different from Miguel's previous work, we still have vibrant vocals in the pre-chorus. 'I lost my mind' - Miguel sings and that madness is patent on the video too, shot in black and white, it does not need more effects to surprise. It

Today Dua Lipa releases a new video for 'Levitating', featuring DaBaby(Billboard baby). It seems that the Blessed Madonna, Missy Elliott and   Madonna were not enough (at least  commercially or chartly enough).  With  'Hallucinate' out of the US singles chart and  peaking on number 31 on the UK Official single chart, Dua is ready for a proper new single. 'Let's make it 2020' - Dua must be thinking. This decision is maybe promoted by 'Club Future Nostalgia' failure: Only selling 28K in its first week, after changing its release date to a week later. One great thing brought back in this remix is adding back the chorus. The Blessed Madonna remix speeded up the song, eliminating the chorus parts, which were the key of IDGAF's success.   It is remarkable that Dua decides to do two remixes of the same song, instead of dropping music videos for singles off Future Nostalgia. 'Love again' or 'Pretty Please' might be a good idea for singles
