Abi Ann and Her New Single "Daydreaming"

Music artists these days come younger and younger. I am always amazed to see someone around my age making a name for themselves, but I have to say when I learned this girl was just fifteen, it did catch my attention. Then I heard her voice. Let's introduce you to Abi Ann.

 

Abi is an impressive girl indeed. She has been around for a bit now, but I have somehow missed her until now. "Daydreaming" is just a good a song as any to get started with, too. She is branded as being country, but this comes across much more Taylor Swift style country than Reba. She uses acoustic guitar to keep the song upbeat, and enhances the whole experience with her melodic voice.

The song is about the simpler kind of love that people experience. It's not about going out to a club and meeting a sexy guy. It's not about wanting to get married and have a family. It's simply about a girl who has a huge crush on a guy, and making her way into his life so she can be with him. The simplicity of the song is what draws me to it. "Daydreaming" is cute and bubbly, and it's singer fits the topic perfectly.

Abi Ann is an accomplished vocalist, having toured extensively with many stage plays in her past. This lead to her wanting to do more of her own thing. And thus a music career was born. According to iTunes (reliable, am I right?), this is her fifth single. Hopefully we will see a full EP or album out of her soon. She's got a solid track just in time for the influx of warm weather we are getting in the States. The timing is right. Now we just need more!

You can preview and buy the track on iTunes.

Scarlette Fever Is Back! New Video + Music Soon

Scarlette Fever, one of the UK's premier country music acts has finally come back to us. She has been missing for nearly a year, and recently has released a new music video. This time there is a bit of a twist. The video is out now, but for the download you're gonna have to wait.



This song is set directly in Scarlette's realm of country music. She had previously dabbled in pop, but now she is returning full force, giving us the best pieces of Reba and Miranda. We all know I'm not the biggest fan of this style of music, but this song is too damn catchy to pass up. I mean, where would be the fun in that?

The catch is that the song itself isn't exactly out yet. "Where's The Fun?" comes out official online April 22. Here's the second catch -- it's not even her real return. Well not her "real" return. This is just her way of getting people's attention -- a promotional single if you will. The legitimate new single will be out later this year. She's been recording in the US recently and is ready to unleash her new music onto the scene.

When asked to describe her new song she was quick to say: "Take the best rhythm section in the world, a girl who grew up wanting to sing Aretha songs, and a guy who worked at a supermarket and this is what you get!"

Colette Carr's "Never Gonna Happen" Gets A Video

Praise Jesus that this song got a video. This song is Colette's first real chance to breakthrough to mainstream radio while still staying (mostly) true to her origins as a rap chica. For those used to hearing her hardcore spit, it may take a bit to swallow this song, but for those who love her more poppy side, this is a goldmine.



Seriously, this video is brighter and bubblier than an Aqua video -- and that's a good thing. From the beginning of her driving a cCarr look-a-like doll in a RC car, to her dancing on her bed, this video is cute and fun. Colette invites her friends over, they get ready, and hit up a party where her ex is. The twist ending? She gets with her ex even though he spent the whole time at the party flirting with another blonde girl.

The ending itself is something I don't think anybody saw coming. Her usual person is "screw men, especially if they cross me", but here we see her willingly giving into temptation. She instead turned and gave out the message "screw girls who try and steal this guy Im working on things with". Strange, no?

The video is a huge step in the right direction for cCarr. The quality is amazing. The direction was fantastic. "F16" was amazing, but with the lack of forward movement with "Why Are You Leaving", I was worried. This video has restored my faith both in Colette Carr and her "Skitszo" movement. Bring on part four. I'm ready.

Sarah Brighman To Release New Album "Dreamchaser"

Sarah Brightman is one of the most talented women on the planet. I don't care who you are, but if you deny this fact, we cannot be friends... or live on the same planet. Sarah is famous for her Broadway roles with former husband Andrew Lloyd Webber such as Christine in The Phantom of the Opera and a lead role in Cats. Subsequently they moved on to doing her own music, and even appeared in the cult hit movie Repo: The Genetic Opera. Now she is about to release her 11th solo album "Dreamchaser."

While Sarah often dabbles in pop, she more often than not keeps to a classical sound.  Due out April 16th in the US, this album is more of the beautiful voice we have come to love. This may not be something you will go bumping to your car in, but one can't help but admire her amazing talent.

The track "Angel" was released exclusively to her fans via her fanmail service late last year as a preview to what she had been working on, as well as an apology for the album being pushed back to 2013. The official lead in single was the track "One Day Like This", which has recently had a video released.



This is Brightman's first album since 2008 where she released both a regular and Christmas album. This release is decidedly less pop and more true to her original releases. This will definitely her core fans happy, but may also alienate fans she gained with her previous release "Symphony". The only track that comes close to that full power feeling is "Closer" that comes in a the end.

The album has already been released in much of the world, with the US and Canada trailing behind with an April 16th release date. There are multiple versions planned, with a Target Exclusive and an iTunes Deluxe edition.

March Song of the Month - Kim Smith "Jealous"

I know, I know. The Song of the Month is supposed to be posted on the last day of said month, but sometimes I get busy. So, without further ado, allow me to reveal the Song of the Month for March, 2013 -- Kim Smith's sexy hit "Jealous"!

Don't know who Kim is? That's understandable, I guess. He released his first single this month, and it has been on my mind ever since. I have always love independent artists, especially when they are quality acts. He is Australian and sexy. What more could you ask for? Maybe a sexy song? Well then get a load of "Jealous".

This song is about exactly what you'd think it is about -- being a complete jealous bitch. Ok, maybe "bitch" is a bit too far, but it is very relatable. One can assume that the song is about an unrequited love (it never comes out and explicitly says so), due to him saying he is jealous of all the other boys in your life. He would even like to just be a fling with you, but you ignore him.

Why would anyone ever ignore Kim? I mean he is buck naked in his new music video, and with that body and that mug, whoever this person is ignoring him must be messed up in the head. I mean just check him out.



You can grab the single for yourselves on iTunes.

RuPaul's Drag Race Recap - Drama Queens

It's back! It's finally back. Just one Monday without a new episode of Drag Race was too much to bear. I have to see all those girls I can't stand go home! Of course there is drama, but I'm in it for the fashion and glamor. Ok, I lied. I love that drama. Well the non-manufactured drama.

Drag Race Season Five Winner LEAKED [April Fools]

That's right. You heard it here first. Drag Race's queen has been leaked to the internet. How do I know for sure? I true gentleman never reveals his sources, but I can tell you that this is pretty concrete. The winner is...

Serena ChaCha!

Before you cal me a liar, let me let you in on what happens. Next week's episode is the makeover episode famous for bringing back an eliminated queen to try her luck again. This time, the judges for some odd reason felt that Serena, famous for having some of the most harped on runway looks of all time, needed a second shot. And she brought it.

Not only does she win the makeover challenge by turning her gay vet into a bedazzled sight to behold, she also goes on to win yet another challenge landing her in the top three. She claims to have learned form her mistakes and trained harder at her craft than Shangela in the few short weeks she was absent.

"She just didn't give up," says my source who wishes to remain anonymous. "She stayed in California instead of going home and perfected her look. She kept in touch with Michelle [Santino to this day doens't like her] and kept her updated. As a leap of faith, Michelle stuck out her neck for her and got her back. Sometimes having friends in high places can pay off!"

Let it be known that today, April 1st, 2013, I GaoSalad got the biggest scoop of the year!

Also, April Fools.
