Hello Pop music fans!!

I'm back from a long and well deserved hiatus during which I took the time to reflect on the direction where I want to take this blog.

The main reason I took a hiatus was because of selfish reasons. Basically the summer was full of social and family events that I had to attend and combining that with my work schedule I had very little time left for myself and my partner.

The second reason I took hiatus was because I read a blog post from one of my favourite independent music artists where she explained how piracy and file sharing had affected her work and livelihood. It made me very sad and it made me think. It also made me realize that I was part of the problem.

So from here on I will no longer do file sharing of songs that are available for purchase. Instead I will provide a link of where you can purchase those songs. Most likely the links will lead you to iTunes my preferred online music store because it's the most economical and it's also the most popular one. It also comes with software that makes it easy to manage your music. If you're as much a music fan as I am the iTunes program will come in VERY handy.

In addtion it is my opinion that if you truly like an artist and you enjoy their work you should support them so they can continue to create more music for your enjoyment. Think about it, is 99 cents a song really that expensive? Coffee is more expensive than that and you'll piss it right out. But a song, a really good song you'll play over and over again.

With that said I will no longer be posting file sharing links to songs that are available for purchase but I will continue to provide links for music that is not available for purchase. Such links will be removed if and when they do go up for purchase. I also will not put up links to full albums.

Being on hiatus doesn't mean I've been out of the loop of what's going on in the world of Pop music so lets catch up a bit. In the next few days I'll be posting some of the music that's kept me dancing during the last few weeks.

Thank you all for reading and keep visiting.

New Beyonce!! Check out "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)"the second single from her latest album "I Am... Sasha Fierce"

I loved her debut album but I hated her last one.

B is back for sure!!

Work those steps!!! "All my single ladies...!!"

Also watch the video for "If I Were a Boy"

-Single Ladies Remixed-

Beyonce's back with a new song and new video. It's for "If I Were A Boy" the first single from her new album "I Am... Sasha Fierce". What a beautiful song. 

Here's a funky new video by U.K. R&B sensation Leona Lewis for her fourth single "Forgive Me".

The song was co-written and produced by Akon and it's definitely a nice change from her usual ballads. I really wish she did more uptempo Pop songs like this because it really showcases her voice.

Fans of Musicals will notice that the dream sequences in the video were inspired by the Hollywood classics West Side Story, Cabaret, Singin' in the Rain and Carousel.

What do you think, will she perform at the VMA's?

Katy Perry has been #1 on the U.S charts for seven weeks straight with her hit song "I Kissed A Girl" and it looks like she's about to take over the world! She's currently sitting at the #1 spot in the U.K Singles Chart ! Can anyone top her?

Dear readers,

I'm very sorry for the lack of updates this month. The month of August has turned out to be a very busy month for me with work and social events. Because of all this I've decided to cut back on the amount daily posts but will instead post a few items one day a week until my hectic life slows back down.

In the meantime please make sure to check the archives for previous posts and for some goodies to download.

Thank you very much for your continued support and I hope you're all enjoying the rest of summer.

So there's this new British girl group called The Saturdays that's been brewing for a few months and their hot debut single "If This Is Love" just came out yesterday.

The track features a sample from the Yazoo track "Situation" as the backing rhythm to give it that nice 80's pop sound. I love this song, it's fun, it's cheeky, it's Pop!

I've been reading bout these girls all over as they've been doing some heavy promoting throughout the British media and various music magazines and blogs.

These girls are so hot right now they've even been touring with the current reigning British girl group Girls Aloud.

OK so there's this song I've been playing on repeat for a few weeks now but I've been kind of afraid to write about it out of fear of embarrassment but now I'm totally ready to come out with it.

If blogging has taught me anything it's that if I like a song there are many more people out there who like it too. I'm also not one to judge artists by their personal lives but rather by their music and their work and this is one song that I truly enjoy.

So here it is...one of my favourite songs right now is "Bossy" by Lindsay Lohan. I like it because it's a great pop/dance song about a strong woman who gets what she wants when she wants it.

The song was written by R&B singer-songwriter Ne-Yo and production team StarGate for Lindsay's upcoming third studio album ' Spirit in the Dark' and was released only as a pre-single/buzz-track off the album. Sadly no video or promotion will take place for it.

Meet Sam Sparro an AMAZING singer, songwriter and producer from Australia.

I've been a fan of his for a while now and I was very pleased with his self-titled debut album 'Sam Sparro' when it came out earlier this year .

The album is full of great songs in the Electrofunk, Pop, R&B, and Soul styles and includes the hit single "Black & Gold", you can watch the gorgeous video for it above.

Also check out his up coming second single "21st Century Life".
