Pop song of 2013?

Ever since Popjustice premiered this a few weeks ago, we really haven’t been able to get enough.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. MDNGHT is a Mancunian music collective with an absolutely gorgeous lead singer.

2. He also has the voice of baby Jesus.

3. MDNGHT also clearly know how to craft a perfect pop song.

4. The song is entirely in falsetto but never feels laborious. THIS IS A FEAT OF ITS OWN

5. ‘I Will Lead You On’ is smart, sexy, lightweight, and it’s no doubt the song of the year for us so far (YES it’s better than the Daft Punk one).

The generous chaps have given this up for free download on their site so you must save-as. We can’t wait to hear more.

R.I.P.

Where do we start.

We knew this whole greatest hits thing was the beginning of the end, but it doesn’t make it much easier that today we have lost undoubtedly one of the greatest pop bands of all time. These 5 girls had the charisma that so many popstars are devoid of, with the perfect amount of sex and a huge dose of horrible dance sychronization. 

We had them for 10 years, and to be honest, the Girls Aloud we’ve seen in the past few months is not a Girls Aloud we want anymore. It’s the end, and it feels like the end. We got 10 years, hundreds of perfect pop songs and countless amazing pop memories.

We love you, Girls Aloud.

Let us rise for Mat Maitland & Big Active

By now, many have seen Kenzo’s latest video for their SS13 Resort collection, called ‘Electric Jungle’. It is, of course, up to standard and amazing. The idea of a new Kenzo campaign is usually enough to send me over the edge. But this time, when the notification popped up, I had no idea I would be in for this:

We can’t get enough of Acne’s SS13 plastic line. Plastic hats, plastic shoes. A simple, bold statement.

We love that men’s everyday fashion can be more adventurous.

We do wonder how sweaty those things will get in the summer though.

The KRISVANASSCHE man is quietly confident, a man who is focused on intellectual progress and reinvention…

and a man who knows beautiful fucking sunglasses when he sees them.

HIGHS
The entrance.
Kelly fucking Rowland.
Michelle.

LOWS
“Love On Top”. (?!?!?!)
“Baby Boy”.
“Halo”.
The unwarranted trip down Beyonce performance memory lane.

THE VERDICT
We could have done with a generous dose of “Run The World (Girls)”.
Beyoncé is a freak of nature.
Kelly Rowland for Super Bowl 2014.

Beyonce is one of our favorite popstars. Top 3, we’d say.

However, we are not deluded. We understand that Beyonce is absolutely ridiculous.

In about three hours’ time we expect the world’s most perfect, balls-to-the-wall entertaining spectacle of 12 minutes’ length.When we thought about the possible songs she could sing, our mind kind of turned into spaghetti. There are just too many amazing Beyonce songs. That leads us to the following list. Here are the 9 best Beyonce songs with videos (we can’t say singles because of her ridiculous ‘video anthologies’).

Birth of a superstar

We stumbled upon this yesterday. We had a listen. We have not stopped listening to it for the past 24 hours and we do not intend on stopping ever.

We are familiar with Lil Silva and his stuff but the little lady on the top is apparently named Banks. We don’t know much about her except that she’s from LA, and we can’t really tell what she looks like through the ‘Tumblr-wave-ness’ of it all, but most importantly we can very much hear her voice and that voice is the VOICE OF A STAR.

We want to listen to this all day and night and in our dreams until the end of time. A download would be helpful. Based on all the recent indie label digital release ‘strategy’ fuckery that’s been going on recently, we’re going to project a May release.

Kenzo Spring/Summer 2013 Ad Campaign by Jean Paul Goude

We were anxious to see what Kenzo would pull out next in their amazing streak and we got… more of the same. But this ad setup will forever remain amazing (the FW12 version is already iconic for us) so we can’t complain. The red is very striking as well. More after the jump.

2012: The 40 Best Pop Songs

image

Year-end lists are tricky business. Instead of ranking songs based on merit or artistry, we all rank the songs based on what we like the best. They always turn into a big fat fight because no one can agree on what is the best or not. However, I do not care. So here you go: the 40 songs from the past year that I like the best.
