Yupp, all speculation on Twitter became true and I was right all along. Chris Brown and Rihanna have officially cooked up the publicity stunt of the century. Rihanna’s ‘Birthday Cake’ was the baddest tune of “Talk That Talk”, mostly thanks to Da Internz and The-Dream, but the full thing to include Chrris Brown… I’m not [...]

When Aubrey Drake Graham dropped his highly anticipated debut “Thank Me Later” last summer my expectations were exaggerated to the absolute max, only destined to result in a anti climax when the album finally landed, of course leading to a huge disappointment. So, the hopes for the sophomore release “Take Care” that drops today has been kinda luke warm from my end, I rather enjoy a nice surprise than the feeling of the question “was this _it_?” like the last time.

I’ve slept for 3,5 hours, way too little for a woman of my age, so well I guess this little drunk girl-anthem, the seventh (!) over all single to be released off Rihanna’s “LOUD”-album, the Runners-produced ‘Cheers (Drink to That)’ (that actually contains interpolations of Avril Lavigne’s ‘I’m with You’) is more than suiting? Even [...]
