Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe

I recently discovered Canadian pop singer Carly Rae Jepsen and now I can't get enough of her hit single "Call Me Maybe". Happy pop music like this really makes me feel good! I also like the gay themed video. Can't wait for more music from Carly Rae.

"Call Me Maybe" is out now on iTunes and Spotify.

My favourite version of "Never Let Me Go" is the amazing Italoconnection remix, co-produced by italo disco star Fred Ventura. The remix is available on iTunes and Spotify. This remix is essential to all italo disco lovers!

Ulrich Bermsjö - Those Who Suffer Love

Do you remember the fabulous pop duo Nouveau Riche? It consisted of former Army Of Lovers member Dominika Peczynski and Ulrich Bermsjö. Now, Ulrich has released his first solo album "Those Who Suffer Love".

After listening to the album a couple of times, I realised that the only songs I like are the electro tracks "After Hours", "Silver Screen" and "Deeper High". The rest of the album is pretty boring, to be honest.

But if you're interested, "Those Who Suffer Love" is available on iTunes and Spotify.

"Those Who Suffer Love" tracklist:

1. After Hours
2. Silver Screen
3. Deeper High
4. Revelations
5. Death Of Samantha
6. You Do Something To Me
7. Tarantula
8. Who Will Take My Dreams Away
9. Silence And I
10. Bad Medicine Waltz

Nouveau Riche - Oh Lord

I really love the track "Oh Lord" by Swedish pop duo Nouveau Riche! The single was originally released in 2005 when the duo consisted of Ulrich Bermsjö and former Army Of Lovers member Dominika Peczynski. Sadly, Dominika left the duo in 2007 and was replaced by Camilla Brinck.

You can watch the video right here. It made me fall in love with the track the moment I first heard it. "Oh Lord" is available on iTunes.

Happy Hoes - We Rule The World

Do you remember my previous post about Swedish pop trio Happy Hoes? Now, former Army Of Lovers members Camilla Henemark and Dominika Peczynski are back with the new single "We Rule The World"!

It's a cool dance track filled with classic Army Of Lovers "talks". "We Rule The World" is available on iTunes and Spotify.

Gossip Girl - The final season

I just read in The Hollywood Reporter, that the sixth season of "Gossip Girl" is going to be the last one. This is sad news for me, I've followed the series for years and still love it.

One the bright side, the creators know about the cancelation in advance so they have time to tie all loose ends. We don't want the show to end with a cliffhanger, do we?

What I like the most about "Gossip Girl" is that there's never a dull moment. The creators aren't afraid of going "over the top", including lots of drama, sex and crazy twists. They give us soap fans what we want!

All seasons of "Gossip Girl" are available on DVD, so at least we can rewatch this amazing teen soap over and over again. Are there any other "Gossip Girl" fans out there? Please leave a comment below!

Check out the sexy, homoerotic video right here. Sadly, the track isn't available on iTunes yet but I hope they'll release it as soon as possible.

Jedward - Miss America

Here is the video to Jedward's song "Miss America", taken from their last album "Victory". You can buy the song on iTunes.

Wilson Phillips - Hold On

One of my favourite songs is "Hold On" by US girl group Wilson Phillips. It was released in 1990 and became a big hit all over the world. The song always cheers me up and the wonderful lyrics have helped me through many dark times!

"Hold On" is taken from their debut album "Wilson Phillips", also including the beautiful singles "Release Me", "Impulsive" and "You're In Love". I'm usually not a big ballad fan but Wilson Phillips' ballads are an exception!

If you're interested, you can find their album on iTunes and Spotify.
