This is the new video from The Presets - Talk Like That. It´s directed by Jonas & François, the hot french directors responsible for Justice´s D.A.N.C.E video and Madonna´s 4 Minutes. The concept of the Talk Like That video according to the record company: “The clip takes a dark look into the issues of obsessiveness and the effect on society”. Hmm, I would not have thought that.

Download for free Santogold and Diplo´s mixtape here. The mixtape Top Rankin features remixes of songs from Santogold ’s debut album and tracks from B52’s, Clash, Devo etc.

Here it is, the video to the amazing Midnight Madness track. And the video is brilliant! Chemical Brothers´ Midnight Madness video is directed by Dom and Nic, who also did Salmon Dance and Believe videos. The concept of the video is simple: gargoyle dancing in a golden suit. That´s midnight madness!

This is the new Lady Gaga track Love Games. Love Games is a pretty good track, but this time she sounds like Christina Aguilera ft Fergie. Anyway, Lady Gaga is gaining a lot of commercial radio airplay in Europe and US, and there´s a lot of buzz around her. I´m not that impressed though, I don´t find Lady Gaga very original nor charismatic.

It´s once again time for some Rihanna, this time her Disturbia video premieres. The Disturbia video is directed by David LaChapelle and it reminds me of the golden days of music video, the early 80s Duran Duran and Michael Jackson videos.
Watch the video to Disturbia below:

Match made in heaven? Santogold and M.I.A teamed up with Radioclit to record a track called Get It up, which made its way on to the Santogold + Diplo mixtape Top Ranking. (By the way, Diplo is M.I.A´s producer.)

Madonnatribe writes that Madonna & team are rehearsing Like A Prayer for Sticky & Sweet tour. The show will feature big familiar hits, but also a good deal of Hard Candy material.

From Madonnatribe:
Human Nature which is the third one in the set list, will still feature Britney on screens but has gone back to a more classic version of Madonna’s Human Nature with just a few insert of Britney saying “It’s Britney Bitch” along the way.

Vogue from the 1990 album Vogue is to be performed with a remarkable new arrangement containing samples and elements from 4 Minutes and Nelly Furtado’s Promiscuos Girl. The people who apparently heard it say it’s a great version.
