The soundtrack for The Hunger Games comes out today, a few days ahead of the release of the film. The general feel of the soundtrack is very folky and country, which aligns with the tagline of the album: "Songs From District 12 and Beyond" (for those who have not read the book, Katniss Everdeen's home of District 12 is around the Appalachian Mountains). On the other hand, some songs get a little Read more

In case you hadn't heard, Madonna will be taking the stage on Sunday to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show. We're keeping our fingers crossed for one or two vintage songs (a medley perhaps?), but there's one thing you can count on: she'll be showing off her latest single, "Give Me All Your Luvin'." The new video for the song is essentially an ad for the biggest day in football: we've got Read more
Bruno Mars's "It Will Rain" is one of my favorite songs from the Breaking Dawn soundtrack, and it's easy to imagine the heartfelt ballad playing during the latest Twilight installment.

We have to wait until next week to see the wedding, honeymoon, and love scenes of Breaking Dawn, but you can have an early taste of the film with the soundtrack, which is out today. I always look forward to the well-curated Twilight soundtracks and their mix of songs that reflect the darkly romantic tone of the films (I still regularly listen to the New Moon and Eclipse albums). The latest Read more
It seems like the holiday season starts earlier every year, and Justin Bieber is here to remind us all that Christmas is nipping on the heels of Halloween. To get you in the mood for his new holiday album, the teen sensation has released a video for the first single, "Mistletoe." Holiday music purists might be turned off by the usage of "shawty" intermixed with all the merriment, but you better Read more
If her music video production schedule is any indication, pregnancy isn't slowing Beyoncé down one bit. Less than two weeks after she released the music video for "Countdown," here comes the new spot for "Love on Top." This is the song that she memorably sang at the VMAs to announce her pregnancy, but her bump is less of a star this time — instead we see B groovin' in a leotard, fronting a Read more
It's been a big year for singer Ellie Goulding. In addition to being asked to perform at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding on April 29, Ellie came over to the US, performed on SNL, and went on to sell out her American tour! Ellie spent time in NYC earlier this month to have some fun during Fashion Week. We chatted with the star at the Breslin, inside the Ace Hotel, about her experiences Read more
