"Where Have You Been"-Rihanna (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Published April 30, 2012 by BrittanyShawnte

Moments ago, Rihanna dropped her video for newest single, “Where Have You Been,” featured on her latest album, Talk That Talk. Gotta admit, when I first bought the CD and listened to this track, I wasn’t in love with it at first, but I definitely love it now! This video makes the song all the better!

This visual was great! The outfits were hot, the setting was exotic, and the dancing was amazing! Haven’t seen Rihanna dance in a while now…she pulled it off pretty well. I guarantee that you’ll hear this in the clubs for Summer 2012! Wonder if it will go to #1?

Check out the video for “Where Have You Been” below!


Rihanna/Chris Brown Collaborations!

Published February 21, 2012 by BrittanyShawnte

Moments earlier (and on Rihanna’s 24th birthday no less), Rih Rih and Chris Brown released their remixes to popular songs “Birthday Cake” and “Turn Up The Music” which feature EACH OTHER! Rihanna said that we could expect a collaboration that would shock the world. I know media and naysayers across the world are on the verge of cardiac arrest! I kind of wonder how Chris’ girl Karrueche feels about this too…..

I’m over their whole situation, and obviously they are too. It’s been three years, and I think this was really just a bold statement saying “It’s done.” They both make amazing music, so let them make that amazing music together!

Check out the remixes to “Birthday Cake” and “Turn Up The Music” below!

Turn Up The Music Remix!!!
Both of the songs are hot! Can’t wait to get these into my iPod!

My Video Review of the Grammys

Published February 13, 2012 by BrittanyShawnte

Ok, so this is my first ever video review on the blog. I wanted to try something different, and if people like it, then I’ll start reviewing more award and TV shows in video format. If not, I’m sticking to writing! Haha! I was definitely a little nervous, even though it was only me and my laptop (and a few people walking in and out at my job! I got bored!). Like I said, just wanted to try something new. Check out my review of the big night below!

I’ll probably post some videos of the big performances later today too, when I actually have enough energy to deal with searching for them and embedding HTML codes!


Oh and by the way, look out for a song from me coming up soon “Marvin’s Room Revamped.” Yes, everybody and their mother has covered that song, and you can add me to the list haha! I’ll tell y’all more later!

[PREVIEW] ‘Talk That Talk’-Rihanna (Album)

Rihanna Talk That Talk Standard Cover HQ

Rihanna has come out with a preview of her upcoming album Talk That Talk. The album hits stores at the end of the month on November 21. Talk That Talk, of course, will include Rihanna’s hit single, “We Found Love,” that has become her 11th #1 hit. I know some people question her talent, but it can’t be denied that she is a singles queen! Check out the preview of the album below!

http://www.twitvid.com/embed.php?guid=AZWPW&autoplay=0

1. “You Da One” (produced by Dr. Luke)
2. “Where Have You Been?” (produced by Calvin Harris, written by Dr. Luke & Ester Dean)
3. “We Found Love” (produced by Calvin Harris)
4. “Talk That Talk (featuring Jay-Z)” (produced by Stargate, written by Ester Dean)
5. “Cockiness” (produced by Bangladesh)
6. “Birthday Cake” (produced by The-Dream)
7. “We All Want Love” (written by Ester Dean)
8. “Drunk On Love” (produced by Stargate, written by Ester Dean)
9. “Roc Me Out” (produced by Stargate, written by Ester Dean)
10. “Watch n’ Learn” (produced by Hit-Boy, written by Priscilla Renea)
11. “Farewell” (produced by Big Juice, written by Ester Dean)

I’m definitely excited for this album. It sounds hot! Especially that collab with Jay-Z! Apparently “You Da One,” will be the next single. I really would love to see the title track be a single eventually, though.

Rihanna is one of few artists whose album I have actually bought since the beginning of their career. She’s had a lot of highs and a few definite lows with albums, but overall, in her career, she hasn’t disappointed me (though her fourth album, Rated R, was a tad bit overrated). I honestly can’t believe that this is her SIXTH album. She came out only about 6 years ago, in 2005, but it seems so long ago. I feel so old (Yes, at 21 haha!).

Will you be buying Talk That Talk?

"We Found Love"-Rihanna (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

rihanna we found love

Rihanna gets hot and steamy in her new video for “We Found Love,” which features the “Chris Brown lookalike” Dudley O’ Shaughnessy as her leading man. Besides the blonde hair, I really don’t see him looking anything like Chris by the way. Anyways, the couple goes through the ups and downs of love in the video. Even though the song is pretty upbeat, the video is a dark look at love and substance abuse. Check it out below!

"Fly"-Nicki Minaj feat. Rihanna (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Published August 29, 2011 by BrittanyShawnte

MTV premiered the official video for “Fly” by Nicki Minaj featuring Rihanna moments ago on MTV.com. It’s not my favorite song off of Pink Friday, but it definitely has a good message-conquering your battles and succeeding!

Walking around a crashed airplane and debris, Nicki and Rihanna both looked amazing from the hair to the fashion! Nicki even had a fight sequence with a fierce mohawk! You know, people can say what they want, but both Nicki and Rihanna are killing right now! I loved that they both did collabs on each other’s album (Nicki was on Rihanna’s “Raining Men,” which should actually be a single Rihanna!). “Fly” was a pretty good video…check it out below!
