Off her new record, 100 Miles From Memphis, Sheryl Crow threw several covers into the mix, including this Jackson 5 classic. At first I couldn’t believe that she would even attempt to touch this – that anyone would is a bit audacious, but Sheryl Crow? I figured it was not going to go well.

Then I listened to it and my first reaction was, “Jesus, this shit is creepy good.” I mean, there are times during this song in which she sounds like a young MJ and I can’t decide if she included it because it went with her 70s funk/soul theme for the record or if it was her own private tribute (yet not private at all) to the singer she once performed backup vocals for?

You be the judge. Ps: they play this in Starbucks so if it sounds familiar, that’s why. Watch the Jackson 5 perform the song after the jump.

Goldfrapp – Believer (Davide Rossi Reinterpretation) from Myler Moss on Vimeo.

Above is the Davide Rossi Reinterpretation of Goldfrapp’s third single from the Head First album, Believer. I enjoy the song, but I feel it sounds a little too much in the same vein as Alive and I wish they would have opted for something that had a more unique tone or sound to it that the general public haven’t heard yet. And as I wrote that, I laughed because I think, “Do Goldfrapp get played on the radio anywhere?”

Remixes will be coming soon (and a video too I hope) by Little Cloud, Vince Clarke, Subway and Joris Voorn.

I feel it’s also worth mentioning that Alison recently lost her mother but has truly been a champ and continued to tour despite her loss.

Kylie surprised her native country this evening at a performance by the Scissor Sisters when she joined them on stage for a repeat performance of the Sisters’ track Any Which Way that they did in Glastonbury. But the real gem, as seen above, was that she came back out later and performed All The Lovers! What a fucking treat especially because it’s done in the Sisters style too! Love love love. Shan and I are greatly looking forward to seeing the Sisters in Chicago later this year!

Natasha’s new single Touch has been online for quite some time but today she finally dropped the video.

Can’t much say I’m a fan of the video, and the song is just okay in my opinion. It sounds a bit like she’s trying to capture Unwritten in dance form. The sound and production is spot on, and I dig the chorus and the bridge. Those versus… are like nails on a chalk board tome. It sounds like’s trying to fit square words into round holes. Or free verse anyone?

Personally I love love loved the leak of Shoot For The Stars that came out before Touch. Perhaps a bit too slow to start but it had much more umph to me than this.

It’s Robyn central around here lately! Today Robyn dropped her video for her new single Hang With Me, which interestingly made it to the web via her official website before a proper version/rip of the song made it to the web. Apparently she’s ahead of the game on this one. The video was directed by Max Vitali.

The video, which appears to be shot over several months takes us on a journey of a day (or 20) in the day in the life of a pop star. It features various shots of Robyn in photo shoots, riding roller coasters, performing live, meeting fans and many other things. It leaves us a bit jealous of the life!

It’s definately not what I pictured the video to be but it does capture to process in which the Body Talk album(s) are being created. Not as one whole “run into the studio and hammer this out in two weeks” thing, but rather over time while she is around the world performing and creating.

We think Hang With Me is sure to be a smash ala With Every Heartbeat.

We originally posted about Ace of Base making a comeback last month when we were greeted with the song Mr. Replay, that song however was only released as a teaser and the actual first single from the newly reformed (with new members) group is here and it’s called All For You. A snippet has been online for several weeks but we decided to wait for a proper version to appear.

The song is very Ace of Base but it’s also very standard euro pop. Whether it stands out from anything else that’s already out there is questionable. This is a song that could have easily been released by duo Infernal and sound as good if not better. The song is obviously strong on vocals even if they aren’t the original singers but what the new Ace of Base brings to the table is still unknown. They are no longer considered cutting edge like they were in the 90′s.
