The Sims 4 - Build Mode Trailer

Last week we got to see how to create sims in the upcoming "The Sims 4". Today, another cool trailer arrived, finally showing how the new build mode works. It looks amazing, if you ask me. I guess I shouldn't be watching these trailers because they make me long for the release even more ha ha!

Pre-order "The Sims 4" from Amazon UK and Amazon US.

Video: La Roux - Let Me Down Gently

La Roux is back with the new single "Let Me Down Gently". Check out the video down below. I love the amazing sound, inspired by eighties synth and electropop music. The song isn't as good as the 2009 hit "Bulletproof", but it's definitely a grower.

"Let Me Down Gently" is taken from the upcoming album "Trouble In Paradise", up for pre-order from iTunes, Spotify and Amazon.

Video: Kylie Minogue - I Was Gonna Cancel

My idol Kylie Minogue just premiered the video for her new single "I Was Gonna Cancel". Check it out down below. I really love the song, especially the cool eighties sounds. The single is taken from the amazing pop album "Kiss Me Once" and the remix single is out now on iTunes and Spotify.

"This video is an abstract look at pedestrian life and how we're all just trying to get through and rise above everyday challenges. Although the song talks about a real life event that happened the day I recorded the song with Pharrell, the video has a more conceptual approach and I love how surreal it looks. I found myself almost directing traffic and it made me think about how we're all just trying to negotiate our way through day to day life."

Eurotix - The Secret (Album)

Get ready to know "The Secret", the debut album by my synthpop project Eurotix, including the singles "I Plead Insanity", "Life As It Slips Away" and the forthcoming single "Let's Die Young". Both me and Larry love eighties music, so our songs are heavily influenced by the synthpop, italo and eurodisco sound of that era. But with a modern twist.

We decided right from the start that our main goal was to make an album we'd enjoy listening to ourselves. And if others liked it too, that would be a big bonus. But we've been pleasantly surprised by the positive feedback from synthpop lovers worldwide. They have encouraged us to keep doing the kind of music we know and love. We're having a great time in the studio and we've already begun working on our second album.

To pre-order the limited CD edition of the album, click here. "The Secret" is also out digitally on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon UK, Amazon US and many other music stores.

1. Superstar
2. I Plead Insanity
3. Let's Die Young
4. After Before, Before After

7. I'm Ready For My Close-Up
8. The European Man
9. The Secret
10. Don't Let Go

Video: Gisele & Bob Sinclar - Heart Of Glass

Blondie's 1978 disco hit "Heart Of Glass" is one of my favourite tracks. It's impossible to beat the original but I quite like the new cover version used in the new H&M commercials, by fashion model Gisele Bündchen and producer Bob Sinclar.

Sure, Gisele can't sing, "Autotune" does it for her. But I totally love the electronic production of the song. "Heart Of Glass" is out now on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon UK and Amazon US.

Video: Jesse McCartney - Superbad

Watch out, Justin Timberlake, pop cutie Jesse McCartney is back with the new single "Superbad". Check out the video down below. The song is inspired by seventies disco music, something I really enjoy, and is available now on iTunes and Spotify.

Jesse is known as an actor from "Summerland", "Greek" and "Chernobyl Diaries". But he's also a successful singer, having scored hits with singles such as "Beautiful Soul" and "She's No You".

Mando Diao - Aelita

I never thought I would blog about Mando Diao. I'm not a fan of indie pop and rock music, but the sound on their new album "Aelita" is electronic, inspired by eighties synthpop and new wave. Some of the songs have a Duran Duran feel to them.

The songs I've fallen for are "Money Doesn't Make You A Man", "If I Don't Have You", "Baby" "Romeo", "Make You Mine" and the single "Black Saturday". Check out the video for it down below. "Aelita" is out now on iTunes and Spotify.

"Aelita" tracklist:

1. Black Saturday
2. Rooftop
3. Money
4. Sweet Wet Dreams
5. If I Don't Have You
6. Baby
7. Lonely Driver
8. Child

10. Make You Mine

Do you remember the Swedish artist Günther? He had a huge hit back in 2004 with the funny "Ding Dong Song", followed by singles such as "Teeny Weeny String Bikini", "Tutti Frutti Summer Love" and the Samantha Fox duet "Touch Me". Now, Günther is back with the house single "I'm Not Justin Bieber Bitch". Check out the video down below.

Say what you want about Günther, but at least he knows how to entertain. The song is available on iTunes and Spotify.
