Britney Spears - Make Me...

Pop princess Britney Spears is back with the new single "Make Me...", featuring G-Eazy. Check out the video down below. The track isn't as catchy as her previous singles, but it's a grower so give it a chance. The single is the first taken from her upcoming album "Glory" which will be released on August 26. But the single is out now on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon UK and Amazon US.

What do you think of the new Britney single? Please leave a comment!

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Come With Us

The wonderful Sophie Ellis-Bextor is finally back with the new single "Come With Us", inspired by seventies disco music. After the indie pop album "Wanderlust", I'm glad to see Sophie return to disco music, the genre she does best. I'm especially fond of the F9 remix since its sound is more electronic than the album version's.

Check out the video down below. "Come With Us" is out now on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon UK and Amazon US. The track is taken from Sophie's upcoming album "Familia" which will be released in September. I really hope the whole album is more dance-oriented than previous one.

"Come With Us" tracklist:

1. Come With Us
2. Come With Us (F9 Radio Edit)
3. Come With Us (F9 Extended Disco Mix)
4. Come With Us (F9 Mixshow Edit)

Trailer: Blair Witch (2016)

One of my favourite horror movies, the 1999 found footage classic "The Blair Witch Project", is finally getting a new sequel, simply titled "Blair Witch". I know a lot of people dislike the original movie, but I still think it holds up. I really like the whole mythology of the movie and often what you don't see is scarier than what you do see. Check out the trailer down below.

"A group of college students venture into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland to uncover the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of James’ sister who many believe is connected to the legend of the Blair Witch. At first the group is hopeful, especially when a pair of locals offer to act as guides through the dark and winding woods, but as the endless night wears on, the group is visited by a menacing presence. Slowly, they begin to realize the legend is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined."

"We'll make it feel like the first time, first time"

New CD's in my record collection: "E•MO•TION Remixed +" by Carly Rae Jepsen, "Disco Romancing (Japanese Edition)" by Elena Gheorghe, "Do It In The AM" by Frankmusik, "Come Into My Life" by Joyce Sims, "Kissing The Wind" and "Street Of Dreams" by Nia Peeples.
