McFly – “Party Girl” New Single
Published July 14th 2010
Filed under Reviews
McFly have taken a risk and changed up their sound completely for their fifth studio album, having re-signed a new profit-sharing deal with their old record label, Island Records. The lead single is the Dallas Austin produced, Party Girl, which sounds a bit like McFly singing their own version of Lady GaGa’s Bad Romance.
While Party Girl is a departure in sound for McFly, it still sounds like a McFly track somehow. This is probably because the vocals aren’t edited too much so they’re still quite distinctive, but Party Girl also somewhat sounds like a progression from their single Lies.
McFly also announced their second single from the, yet to be titled, new album would be the Taio Cruz track Shine A Light later in the year, along with the launch of their new Super City website and a thirty minute movie which will accompany Party Girl.
Party Girl will be released on September 6th through Island Records.
Lady GaGa – “Alejandro” Video Teaser

Last night, a nineteen second teaser from Lady GaGa’s next single from The Fame Monster, Alejandro, was released. The short clip is in black and white which might be only for the teaser effect, the full version might be unveiled in colour.
The video seems very simple so far, compared to the mini movie that was the Telephone video. In one scene, Lady GaGa is shot standing in an empty room with a black backdrop while her dancers are seen walking out of, what looks like, a stadium. Another scene shows GaGa with a man, presumably the character Alejandro.
From the preview, it doesn’t look like the Alejandro video will be the mini series of events which the Telephone video had, but it does look interesting and leaves you wanting to find out what exactly it’s about.
The full version of the Alejandro will be released next Monday, June 7th, according to GaGa’s reliable fansite, GaGaDaily.
Lady GaGa & Beyoncé – “Telephone” Video Premiere
Published March 12th 2010

The video for Lady GaGa’s second single from The Fame Monster, Telephone featuring Beyoncé, premiered last night. It’s over 9 minutes long and features a lot of dialog and cutting up of the song.
The storyline is quite simple, starting with Lady GaGa in a prison before Beyoncé bails her out and the two go off to a restaurant where they poison the customers before making their getaway.
Lady GaGa makes fun of press rumours that she’s half and half during the opening scenes of the video. The video also flashes back to some of her previous work with Paper Gangsta playing in the courtyard and her Paparazzi mug shot shown towards the end.
The video features a lot of product placement including Lady GaGa’s Heartbeats, Virgin, HP, Plenty of Fish, Bebo, Coca Cola and LG incorporated in a humourous way. The Coca Cola placement is probably the most humourous as Lady GaGa wears cans of Diet Coke in her hair.
While the song is cut up, it doesn’t matter too much as it’s a little overrated. Telephone is definitely all about the video which is really quite amazing.
