Video: Le Kid - Physical

Swedish pop group Le Kid competed in Melodifestivalen 2011, the Swedish pre-selection to the Eurovision Song Contest, with the song "Oh My God", which I found a bit disappointing. I had expected something more electronic. But now, they're back with the brand new single "Physical", and I totally love the electro sound! I hope they'll make more songs like this one.

"Physical" is out now on iTunes and Spotify.

Donna Summer - Love To Love You Donna (Remixes)

One of my favourite artists, the fabulous disco icon Donna Summer, sadly passed away last year. A new tribute remix album called "Love To Love You Donna" has just been released, featuring brand new remixes of Donna's classic hits, by producers such as Chris Cox, Frankie Knuckles and Giorgio Moroder himself.

The collection also includes the previously unreleased track "La Dolce Vita". My personal favourite on the album is the Chromeo & Olivers remix of "Love Is in Control (Finger On The Trigger)" that you can listen to down below.

Video: Paris Hilton - Good Time

I'm one of few who actually enjoyed Paris Hilton's 2006 pop album. Sure, she's not a great singer and her voice is probably all Auto-Tune. But what can I say? I love trashy dance-pop music as long as the sound is good! And Paris just released the brand new single "Good Time", a wonderfully plastic dance track, featuring Lil Wayne. Check out the video down below.

I hope Paris will release a whole dance album! Meanwhile, "Good Time" is available on iTunes and Spotify.

Synthpop deluxe

New CD's in my record collection: Maxi-singles "Be With You", "I Could Fall In Love With You", "Fill Us With Fire" and "When I Start To (Break It All Down)" by Erasure, the B-side compilation "Format" by Pet Shop Boys, and Vanbot's debut album.

Lady Gaga - Artpop

Lady Gaga is finally releasing her brand new album "Artpop" on November 8. It includes the cool hit singles "Applause" and "Do What U Want", plus "Aura" from the movie "Machete Kills", where Gaga herself plays a part.

Samples of the album tracks "Artpop", "Venus" and "G.U.Y." have also been premiered on YouTube and they sound great, so my hopes for the album are very high! You can pre-order "Artpop" now from iTunes, Amazon UK and Amazon US.

Vanbot - Vanbot

A while back, a friend recommended me to check out the Swedish artist Vanbot. Her real name is Ester Ideskog and she released the debut album "Vanbot" in 2011. The sound is amazing electropop with a touch of the eighties. "Vanbot" includes the singles "Make Me, Break Me" and "Lost Without You", plus the cool album tracks "Numb" and "Ringing".

You can get "Vanbot" from iTunes and Spotify. But if you're like me and prefer a physical release, the CD edition is still available to order from Vanbot's official website.

1. Ringing
2. Numb
3. By The Side Of This Road
4. Bitter Is The Sweetest Part

8. Lost Without You
9. Tired
10. Bad Day
11. Safe By The Numbers

Silent Hill 2 Soundtrack

This arrived yesterday, straight from Japan. It's the beautiful and scary soundtrack for the "Silent Hill 2" video game, by Akira Yamaoka. I fell in love with the music when I first saw the 2006 movie. My personal favourites are "Promise (Reprise)", "Magdalene", "Laura Plays The Piano", "Theme Of Laura (Reprise)" and "White Noiz".

This amazing soundtrack is available on iTunes, Spotify and Amazon.

Glen Vella - Lie

Do you remember pop singer Glen Vella? He represented Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 with the song "One Life". But I want to recommend his 2012 single "Lie". This modern dance-pop track is a lot better than "One Life" in my opinion, and would have done better in the contest. I'm looking forward to more tracks like this from Mr. Vella.

"Lie" is available to buy on iTunes.

Video: Little Boots - Shake

I'm a big fan of British pop singer Little Boots and her electronic music. Check out the brand new video for her single "Shake". The track is taken from the album "Nocturnes", out now on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon UK and Amazon US.

A-ha, Pet Shop Boys och Company B

The latest additions to my record collection: The new Pet Shop Boys single "Love Is A Bourgeois Construct", "Company B" and "Gotta Dance" by freestyle girl group Company B, "Foot Of The Mountain" by A-ha, and Morten Harket's solo album "Out Of My Hands".

Trailer: Super Mario 3D World

Check out the trailer for the upcoming video game "Super Mario 3D World" for the Nintendo Wii U. I have a soft spot for the "Super Mario" games so I'm looking forward to this one! The game is released in November but you can pre-order it now from Amazon UK and Amazon US.

Cher and Belinda Carlisle

New CD's in my record collection: Cher's new album "Closer To The Truth" and two more remastered Belinda Carlisle albums: "Live Your Life, Be Free" and "Real".
