Fifth Harmony (Finally) Lets Info Slip On New Album

Now let me tell you. If they hadn't just released a single, I would start to think that "Reflection" was just a hoax. These girls have pushed back this album twice already, and we haven't gotten so much as a tracklisting. Really, all we have to go on are the singles, the free iTunes track, and the cover art (which looks pretty meh in my opinion). BUT NO MORE! Thanks to PopCrush, we have much more info straight from the girls' mouths.

Once again, my gurl Camila takes the lead and is one to explain all about the new single "Sledgehammer". To be honest, I really didn't care much for the single, especially compared to "BO$$", but it is still a very polished and strong track, so I can see why they would put it out. We got the video earlier this week, and it made up for some of my initial dislike for the song, but from what I've heard form the live performances, there will be better tracks.

And according to the girls themselves, there are more gems in store for us fans. First off, there is a track with a "big feature", and another that samples Tupac. Damn, girls. We also got a few song titles such as "Reflection" (duh), "Going Nowhere", and "You Know". We also learned that the song is full of "throw backs" and "jams".

Tacked onto the end of the video is a question about how they decide who sings lead. Well obviously they just throw Camila in there! But in reality, as much as I love her and love her singing voice, I hope that some of the other girls get their time in the spotlight on the upcoming album.

To recap, all we know about the album so far is that it has been rescheduled for January 27th, 2015 and that it's a total jam. This was well worth your time, wasn't it?

Preorder the album on iTunes now and get both the singles ("BO$$" and "Sledgehammer") as well as an album-only song called "Them Girls Be Like".

Ms Trez Release New Single "Easy"

Ms Trez is an all girl trio singing group out of Sweden, AKA the home of the most talented people ever. So many groups pop up from Sweden, and yet they don't get the recognition they deserve. No more! I hereby pledge to tell you about this new song. I pledge to inform you about "Easy".

After first popping onto my radar with their song "Beat's Our Guide", I had been keeping my eye on them. They had released an EP, but this is their first new venture since supporting that. Here, we get a different, more R&B feel. Oddly enough it feels really natural for the girls. Lorena, Marlene, and Mira all make their voices heard calling for some great harmonies.

The song is actually not about what you might think. Instead of being about being easy, they are talking about being not easy at all. By this, I mean they are saying that sure, they will fall in love, but they have to be sustained after that to keep their heads in the relationship. While it's not the most positive message out there, I guess it has it's ways of staying relevant.

Ms Trez is making a name for themselves slowly both in their home country and abroad. Girl groups have come and gone without leaving much of a mark in the past, but with strong beats and tight vocals, a group like Ms Trez can really go somewhere. Here's to hoping these three ladies make it to the states and are very successful.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 5 Episode 2 [Review]

Oh my GOD I forgot how much I loved this installment of the Real Housewives franchise. Unlike some of the other series, they really start in with the drama and the comedy from the beginning. The first episode was a bit relaxed, but now we are full swing and I'm back to loving this show again. Welcome back, Kim Richards. We missed the real you.

Kwanza Jones Makes Billboard Charts (Again) And Drops Hot New Video

If you don't know by now that I am madly in love with everything Kwanza Jones does, then you haven't been paying much attention to this site. For those who need a catch up, Kwanza is a singer-songwriter turned EDM goddess. She dropped her debut album "SUPERCHARGED" in February of last year, and has been going strong ever since. Now she's amping up her new single "Turn It Up" and it's already splashing it's way onto the Billboard Charts!

Although when first listening to "SUPERCHARGED" I didn't see "Turn It Up" as a single track, it actually worked out very nicely. It has that kind of club energy that you'd come to expect from Kwanza over the past few years, and it's video has that same high quality that is a regular from this artist.

Speaking of the video, I like it for some surprising reasons, the main being that we get to see a softer looking side of Kwanza. By this I mean in most of her video's she's got crazy outfits, hair, and makeup to fit the vibe of her song. This time, she's wearing softer makeup and in most of the video toned-down outfits showing a more "normal" side to the pop diva. Also, she continues her tradition of having ridiculously hot guys as backup dancers.

And that's another amazing thing about this work. The dancing is so tight and spot on, and most of it is done on stairs. I can't think of too many music videos that have entire choreographed stair dances. That must have been a hassle to get together and to practice beforehand. This alone deserves recognition.

"Turn It Up" did make it onto the Billboard charts last week. It came in at a kind of low number, 47 on the Dance Charts, but it also hasn't been supported for long, which means in the coming weeks, I can see it climbing far beyond that. This isn't Kwanza's first time at this rodeo either. She has had five other songs chart in the past, so she knows what she's doing. I'm sure this track will only help her career and her Billboard presence.

You can get the song on iTunes today.

RuPaul's Drag Race Season Seven Cast To Be Announced Dec. 7

It's official. Logo has snuck a lot of ads for this, but they aren't really making a big deal out of it. Actually, if it wasn't for fellow drag blog Dragaholic, I would have never noticed. But it is for real. The long anticipated announcement of the season seven cast for RuPaul's Drag Race will be made in just two short weeks.

There have been so many names swirling around for the supposed cast list, from full names of people confident they've got it right to the "hey, this queen has been M.I.A. for the past few months", but only Ru and the production crew really know who's who, and none of them are talking. At least it looks like we won't have to wait too long to find out, though.

They actually have a whole amazing line up for Dec 7th.

7:30p - RuPaul's Drag Race: 15 Fan Favorites of All Time
8:00p - NewNowNext Awards
9:00p - Season Seven Cast Ruvealed

I for one am excited to see who's made it on the cast. I've kept my eye out and noticed a few people popping up at certain events and others that went missing from tour dates. Now in reality this means nothing, but it would be interesting to see if some of the queens I really enjoy have made the cast. Only time will tell, and in the weeks approaching the announcement, I'm sure the hype will only increase.

Conchita Wurst Shows Us What A Hero Looks Like

Conchita Wurst took the world by storm this year, being one of the most shocking Eurovision Song Contest winners in history. Why was it such a big deal? Well she was not only a drag queen, but in the bearded lady category of drag. But don't go thinking she looks a hot mess. Conchita is one of the most beautiful drag queens on the scene, and she's got a voice worthy of the ESC crown.

I am madly in love with this song. It is a slower ballad, but it's filled with so much energy and emotion that it could easily compete with radio rockers today. I love Conchita's voice, and her ability to belt out notes at the top of her lungs and still sound feminine and beautiful. It's clear there's a reason why she won her title this year.

The video is a bit of a shocker. She's abandoned the non-political stance of ESC. The song is all about equal love and respect, and it is personified by having people who represent the countries in the Austria, the most notable being Putin from Russia. But being political doesn't mean that it has a bad message. It is actually about peace throughout Eastern Europe, especially with all the violence and threats that run rampant in that area these days.

Political motives aside, the video is visually stunning as well. It has been a very long time since I have called a video shot in black and white beautiful. It relies more on Conchita's striking eyes and flawless apparel than flashy colors and crazy props.

You can grab the track on iTunes now and support her in her journey forward.

Sorry I Missed It - Kelly Mantle's "Eliminated" Video

I'll be totally honest with you. When the season was originally airing, I had no idea how big of a deal Kelly Mantle was. I thought she was far, FAR from the worst that season had to offer, but the odds weren't in her favor. Apparently she was a fan favorite before the show started, and it caused a big shock when she went home. Shows how detached I am from the RPDR community. Anyway, earlier this year she released a video and song about her experience -- and it's pretty good!

The entire song is about how Kelly was eliminated on day one. She starts in quick going through all the judges, reading them from top to bottom with Santino getting the most shade. So much happens in the four minutes that this video takes, including a lot of name drops (Kevin Bacon) and her Downton Abbey dress (more bacon!). The beat is hot and the quality is above par as far as RPDR tracks go.

I was really surprised to see Wendy Ho's name attached to the song. Bitches know I love me some Wendy. She serves as the hook ho here, and rightfully so because it's in her name. The rapping is done by Bownce. This is my first experience with him, but he did a very good job, and his rap actually fit within the context of the song, adding to the track instead of taking away or distracting. Tammie Brown pops up in the video, standing in for Wendy who tragically is not present during the video shoot.

This song was really cute and I wish I had noticed it back when. When contestants release stuff during the show, I often don't see them due to the extreme coverage of the show itself, but now that I've had the time to step back and look around, I can see that I missed one of the best songs to pop up from season six (No shade Adore!). It's fun. It's light. It's relevant.

"Don't you know who I think I am?"

That right there is my new catchphrase.

Be sure and check out the song on iTunes.
