ne-yo story

i'm a big fan of ne-yo...his music, his writing, his voice...and his videos have been pretty well put together as well. this video story is the connection of two tracks off "year of the gentleman." it starts with "part of the list" and ends with "mad."

and while the end of the first video connects with the second...i dont fully understand the connection of the videos, with the girls and the fight, etc. makes me wonder.

hm...

kanye is amazing

new music video for kanye's track "amazing." directed by hype williams.

it's an interesting video, with great back drops. check it. peep the interview at the end.

keri hilson

a lot of people have been waiting for her album, which drops march 24.

peep the new video for her track make love, which co-stars kanye west, as the love interest. it's a good song, with a very tastefully done video. video came out just a few days ago.

ely kim

ely kim is a yale grad student.

who knows why he did this small project, but he did. and it's absolute genius.

100 days, 100 songs, 100 locations, 100 dances.

coldplay cover

check out this talent. homeboy does a cover of coldplay's viva la vida, but he records himself on 3 different tracks to get the whole song down, and i have to say...it's quite flawless.

röyksopp

röyksopp's new single. it has that typical röyk feel, and the video is pretty sick. love the animation.

and as the single's title suggests - happy up there - the song totally gives you that good mood.

death cab for cutie

here's death cab's new single and video...grapevine fires.

video is said to be based on a true story. really well done, and a pretty good video overall.

new kid cudi single

here's kid cudi performing a track off his upcoming new album.

dwele

dwele has dropped two in the past few year, but they were albums that never really got any recognition. while it was a sub-par album, a lot of people are talking about the new dwele project, and how it's going to be something people will really get into.

here's a video in honor of j.dilla off his most recent june 2008 release, sketches of a man. his voice is refreshing.

dc chillin

video of wale performing his first single on his upcoming album, chillin, and one other track.

the fully mastered version of the track is said to have lady gaga on it.

prom queen

lil wayne is back in full force now, with his new upcoming album, the rebirth.

check out the video trailer for his first single and video.

imogen heap

in case you haven't seen this video (but i truly hope you've seen it) i'm throwing it back and putting this video up of imogen heap performing just for now live for indie 103 a while back.

it shows the true dynamic some artists have, as she's using simple pieces of equipment, an amazing voice and nothing else to create an eclectic and beautiful acapella version of the track.

4-3-2-1

k-os, who's fourth album comes out in march, has released his first single and video off the album. "4 3 2 1" is a pretty cool track, and the video is pretty fresh. at times, it feels like the video is too much for the song, or the song is too much for the video, but still a fun watch.

robin thicke's new music video

robin thicke's voice is unreal. enough said.

anthony mandler, as a video producer is ridiculous. he's been doing videos for a long time, and brings a resume of common, snoop dogg, r. kelly, rihanna, t.i., beyonce, jay-z, m.i.a., and eminem.

check out the mandler's new video for robin thicke's track, dreamworld.
