British soul songstress Adele returns with the video for the lead single off her latest album, "21." "Rolling In The Deep" is a fire-laced tale of love lost & retribution. I enjoyed the repetitive imagery here, particularly the hundreds of water-filled glasses quivering from the four-to-the-floor drum pattern; the redundancy of the… Continue

I first got wind of Lano via his cameo performance in the music video "Suga Daddy" from my homegirl Wish. I like to make a point of supporting artists that my colleagues support, since the folks I co-sign usually make sure to only support real talent. Lano is a hip-hop artist,… Continue

Following up with the release of his new album, "Now Or Never," R&B adept Tank hits us with the music video for what I think is not only one of the best cuts off the LP, but one of the most beautifully re-created versions of one of the greatest songs in the American Pop catalogue. What I love about this… Continue

For those who didn't know, ever since I fell in love with it in 1998, hip-hop has been a part of my musical growth & appreciation for quite some time. However, being the musician I am, I take extremely selective and critical view with the hip-hop I choose to put in my playlist. Sintex is a talented… Continue

PMG colleague Chester Gregory hits us with another music video, this time giving us a visual aide for his recently released acoustic version of "If U Only," originally from his latest album, "In Search Of High Love." With the concept of the modern day Urban Pop music video being over a quarter of a century old - I use M.J.'s "Thriller" as a… Continue

Yes, it's the modern day "Vogue." Yes, it has elements of George Michael's "Freedom." And yes, it probably sounds better as a full-out rock song with a slower tempo and an 80's hair band. With all of that said & realized, I still love this new record from the lovely Lady Gaga. "Born This Way" is the feel-good self-empowerment record for… Continue

Singer/songwriter DrewVision is back with another buzz track featuring the exceptional production talents of beat-making sensations, The Vamp. This time, Drew is digging deeper into his grown-man files and pulls up this hot…
Now these are videos I can dig! I'm really glad to see teen-angst Pop princess Avril Lavigne back on the scene. With everyone doing the Dance-Pop shuffle, Avril's brand of Hi-Energy Rock-Pop is an appreciated deviation. I respect that the director decided to keep the video themes simple and in line with the song. Avril as our anti-hero does a great job doing what she does best: being herself and calling the shots…Continue

So this weekend I was able to catch some of the more talked about music videos put out by our billboard topping artists recently. Overall, the collection wasn't bad. Not great, but not terrible. First up, Cookie (aka Nicki Minaj) with the visualization of her new single, "Moment 4 Life," featuring Young Money cohort, Aubrey "Drake" Graham. While Nicki looked pleasantly fashionable and eccentric in all her shots, the…Continue
