http://www.youtube.com/p/115B7C42B412303D Maria Arredondo – Mad SummerHere’s a lovely and super-catchy summer song from a few years ago, by a Norwegian-Argentinian singer who unfortunately seems to have only released crap ballads ever since. If you liked the songs on Venke Knutson’s last album, you’ll love Mad Summer. Currently Maria is preparing to play the role of… Continue reading DP:UK

I keep getting people messaging me asking for the bonus track from the digital version Alphabeat’s Danish album, I Can’t Let It Down. Since I already have the English and Danish versions of the CD, I wasn’t willing to pay for the same songs a third time, so I went on a big hunt all… Continue reading An Alphabeat Treasure Hunt

It feels like forever that we’ve been waiting for the potentially brilliant (and sure to be simultaneously terrible) t.A.T.u film to be released, and at last there is a trailer, here. And yep, it looks every bit as fantastically ridiculous as expected – Mischa Barton seems to be playing a Russian, for starters, and her… Continue reading Dangerous and Movie

Who needs TVs these days, when you’ve got computers? The only reason I ever watch is to see the new videos on The Box, and now you don’t even need to do that because you can watch my version, Dirrrty Pop TV! It doesn’t have any adverts or bad songs, you can find out the… Continue reading Video killed the TV star

I was just looking through some new Dutch pop videos, and came across a teenage female singer called Tess. You could say she’s the Dutch answer to Amy Diamond or Jojo. Her song Little Pink Thing, I only watched because of its silly name, but in the end the name was part of why I… Continue reading This is what pop music should be about

Anyone know when their next album will be out?2. Vanessa Hudgens’ new album is out in a few weeks in America, and… Continue reading Exciting stuff
