WATCH: Bjork - Crystalline (NEW VIDEO!)



Bjork je predstavila spot za prvi singl sa njenog ambiciozno zamišljenog albuma "Biophilia" - "Crystalline". Spot je radio njen dugogodišnji saradnik Michael Gondry koji je na odličan način preneo ideju čitavog projekta - tajne kosmosa. U ovom spotu Bjork je još jednom pokazala zašto je jedna od najekstravagantnijih umetnica današnjice, te vam toplo preporučujem da pogledate.
Da podsetim, "Biophilia" će biti prvi album koji će biti objavljen kao iPad aplikacija. Svaka od deset pesama na albumu imaće svoju aplikaciju, a kako će to izgledati može se viditi na primeru "Crystalline" aplikacije, koja je već objavljena, gde se korisnik kreće kroz neonski obojene tunele, skuplja kristale i menja samu strukturu pesme. Više nego zanimljivo i veoma originalno, složićete se :) 

***

Bjork has premiered a video for the first single from her ambitiuus album "Biophilia" - "Crystalline". The video is directed by her long-time collaborator Michael Gondry who in a perfect way showed  the idea of the entire project - secrets of the universe. In this video Bjork showed once again why she is one of the most extravagant artists today, so I truly recommend to check it out.
To remind you, "Biophilia" will be the first album released as a iPad app. Each of 10 album tracks will have its own app and how it will look like you can see in "Crystalline" app example in which in which users navigate through neon-colored tunnels and collect crystals to change the sonic structure of the song.
Very interesting and original if you ask me :)

Preminula Amy Winehouse / Amy Winehouse has died :(


Amy Winehouse pronađena je mrtva jutros u svom stanu u Londonu. Policija za sada ne objavljuje uzrok smrti, ali se pretpostavlja da je u pitanju predoziranje. 
Pevačica se godinama neuspešno borila sa zavisnošću od alkohola i droge, a takođe je imala i poremećaj ishrane.Njeni prijatelji kažu da je poslednjih nekoliko nedelja bila užasno depresivna, da se zatvorila u svoj stan i ni sa kim nije želela da razgovara. Komšije su je često čule kako priča sama sa sobom. U kakvom je stanju bila govori i njen poslednji koncert koji je održala u Beogradu. 
Nažalost, Amy se pridružila neslavnom "Klubu 27" - grupi muzičara koji su preminuli u 27. godini (Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrisson, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix i gitarista grupe Rolling Stones, Brian Jones).
Iza sebe ima dva albuma "Frank" i "Back to Black" koji joj je doneo ogromnu popularnost, ali čini se, i veliki pritisak.
Ova dva albuma za mene ostaju remek-dela moderne muzičke produkcije, a za svet večni podsetnik na jednog velikog umetnika i jedan neverovatan talenat koji je zauvek ugašan.
Počivaj u miru...

***

Amy Winehouse has been found dead in her flat in London. The cause of death hasn't been given, but it's believed it's an overdose.
The singer had struggled for years with drink and drug addiction and with a nutrition disorder as well. Her friends say that she'd been very depressed lately, she'd been locked in her flat for weeks not talking to anyone. Neighbours could often haer her talking with herself. It was clear that she'd been in a very bad condition during her last concert in Belgrade.
Unfortunately, Amy has become a member of an infamous "Club 27" - a group of musicians who died aged 27 (Kurt CobainJim MorrissonJanis JoplinJimi Hendrix and a guitarist of Rolling StonesBrian Jones).
She released two albums - "Frank" and "Back to Black" that brought her an enormous popularity, but it seems, a big preasure as well.
For me, these two albums will remain classics of modern music history and for the world an eternal reminder of the great artist and the great talent that vanished.
Rest in Peace...

Lady Gaga snima duet sa Cher / Lady Gaga to record duet with Cher


Kao što sam već objavio, Lady Gaga je poklonila pesmu "The Greatest Thing" Cher za njen 26. album. Iako je Cher prvobitno demantovala da će to biti duet, izgleda da se predomislila, te je na svom twitter profilu napisala:
"Can't wait till GaGa puts her Voice on "The Greatest Thing" SHE WILL ROCK IT SO FKNG HARD! (sic)"
Dok fanovi dve pevačice čekaju rezultat ove saradnje (datum objavljivanja novog albuma Cher još nije poznat), mogu poslušati demo pomenute pesme ispod ovog posta. 

***

As I have already reported, Lady Gaga gave as a gift her song "The Greatest Thing" to Cher for her 26th album. Although Cher originally had denied that the song would be a duet, it seems she changed her mind, so she wrote on her twitter:
"Can't wait till GaGa puts her Voice on "The Greatest Thing" SHE WILL ROCK IT SO FKNG HARD! (sic)"
While fans wait for the result of this collab (the release date of Cher's new album is still unknown), they can listen to a demo of the mentioned song below this post.

Justin Bieber sarađuje sa Chrisom Brownom na novom albumu / Justin Bieber to collaborate with Chris Brown on new album



Nije da me ovo nešto posebno interesje, ali pretpostavljam da je nekom od čitalaca ova informacija zanimljiva, pa rekoh da je podelim sa vama. Dakle, Justin Bieber je počeo rad na novom albumu, a kao jedan od saradnika je spomenut i reper Chris Brown (da, onaj što je pošteno izudarao Rihannu pre nekoliko godina). 
Ova dvojica su već sarađivala na Brownovom poslednjem albumu "F. A. M. E." na kome se nalazi njihov duet "Next to You" (poslušajte ispod ako ste dokoni). 
Inače, kao producent novog Bieberovog čeda potvrđen je Nate "Danja" Hills što znači da možemo da očekujemo urbani zvuk (koliko god je to moguće sa Bieberovim glasom).

***

Not that I'm specially interested in this topic, but I suppose that some of readors are, so I've decided to share this with you. So, Justin Bieber started recording his new album and it's conformed that one of collaborators is Chris Brown (the guy who beat Rihanna few years ago).
These two have already collaborated on Brown's latest album "F. A. M. E." which features their duet "Next to You" (listen to it below if you're bored).
Anyway, Nate "Danja" Hills is confirmed as a producer of the new Bieber's record which means that we can expect urban sound (as much it's possible with Bieber's voice).

News! News! News!

Zbog obaveza oko jedne konferencije i retkog pristupa internetu, nisam bio u mogućnosti da updatujem blog nedelju dana, te vam se izvinjavam zbog toga. No, ne brinite! U ovom postu ćete naći najzanimljivije vesti koje su obeležile prethodnu nedelju.

Razvode se Jennifer Lopez i Marc Anthony


Jennifer Lopez i Marc Anthony saopštili su da se razvode nakon sedam godina braka. Ova vest iznenadila je mnoge, s obzirom na to da važe za jedan od najskladnijih parova u Hollywoodu. Razlog još nije poznat, mada su spekulacije mnogobrojne. Takođe su potvrdili da će se njihova saradnja na reality show programu Q Viva nastaviti, uprkos razvodu.
Ovo dvoje su roditelji trogodišnjih blizanaca, Emme i Maxa, a tokom godina su izgradili i uspešan biznis u vrednosti od više miliona dolara, te ostaje da se vidi kako će se dogovoriti oko podele starateljstva i imovine.

Novi singl za Red Hot Chili Peppers

Billboard Charts: Beyonce i LMFAO na vrhu glavnih lista / Beyonce & LMFAO top main charts



Ćetvrti solo album Beyonce, simbolički nazvan "4", zauzeo je prvo mesto na ovonedeljnoj Billboard Top 200 listi albuma sa 310 000 prodatih primeraka. Iako je ovo njen četvrti uzastopni #1 u Americi, ovo je njena najslabija prodaja kada je prva nedelja u pitanju. Najverovatniji razlog tome je što ovoga puta pevačica nije imala hit-singl pre objavljivanja albuma.
Što se ostalih noviteta tiče, debi album repera Big Sean "Finally Famous" stigao je do trećeg mesta (87 000), dok se treći album Diznijeve zvezde i devojke Justina Biebera, Selene Gomez, "When the Sun Goes Down" nalazi na četvrtom mestu (78 000), što je njena najbolja nedeljna prodaja do sada.
Drugi album bivšeg pobednika "Američkog Idola", Davida Cooka - "The Loud Morning", stigao je do sedmog mesta sa 46 000 prodatih primeraka, što je pad u odnosu na njegov prvi album koji je dospeo do trećeg mesta sa čak 280 000 primeraka. 
Poslednji top 10 novitet je kompilacija "American Idol Season 10 Highlights", koja se prodaje ekskluzivno u Walmartu, na desetom mestu (40 000).
Što se liste singlova tiče, duo LMFAO dobio je svoj prvi #1 hit na Billboard Hot 100 listi, jer je njihova pesma "Party Rock Anthem" napredovala sa trećeg na prvo mesto ove nedelje. Ova pesma je sa 258 000 downloada prošle nedelje bila najprodavanija u zemlji, dok po slušanosti na radio-stanicama zauzima treće mesto.
Zahvaljujući nastupu u finalu emisije "The Voice", aktuelni singl grupe OneRepublic "Good Life" napredovao je sa 18. na deveto mesto i ovo je njihov drugi top 10 hit u karijeri.
Prvi Hot 100 singl benda Hot Chelle Rae "Tonight, Tonight" napredovao je sa 13. mesta i nalazi se na desetom mestu ove nedelje.
Pogledajte listu top 10 albuma i singlova ispod ovog posta.

Beyonce's fourth solo studio album, symbolycally titled "4", tops this week Billboard Top 200 chart with 310k copies sold. Although this is her 4th consecutive US #1 album, this is her lowest sale in a debut week, most probably because of a lack of hit-single.
As for otner new entries, a debut album by a rapper Big Seana "Finally Famous" bows at #3 (87k), while the third album by Disney star and Justin Bieber's girlfriend, Selena Gomez "When the Sun Goes Down", starts at #4 with 78k, which is her best weekly sales to date.
The second album by ex "American Idol" winner, David Cook - "The Loud Morning", debuts at #7 (46k) which is a fall compared to his debut album that peaked at #3 with 288k.
The last top 10 new entry is Wallmart exclusive compilation "American Idol Season 10 Highlights" (#10, 40k).
As for the singles chart, LMFAO score their first Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit as their song "Party Rock Anthem" moves 3-1. With 258k downloads, it was the best-selling single last week. It also reaches #3 on Radio Songs chart.

Her debut album "Animal", with a re-release "Cannibal", became a huge success for her, so let's wait and see how new, rock Ke$ha will be accepted.

U2 ponovo na 360° turneji / U2 return to 360° tour


Iako je 360° turneja grupe U2 počela još 2009. godine i postala najuspešnija turneja svih vremena sa zaradom od preko 700 miliona dolara, izgleda da još nije gotova, kako je ranije objavljeno. Naime, bend je odlučio da održi još jednu seriju koncerta u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, pa je objavljivanje novog albuma pomereno za 2012. godinu. 
Međutim, to nije sve! Članovi benda su najavili da će povodom 20 godina od objavljivanja njihovog albuma "Achtung Baby", sa koga su se izdvojili hitovi "One" i "Mysterious Ways", kao i prateće "Zoo TV" turneje nakon koje je usledio album "Zoorapa", reizdati oba albuma pojedinačno, a očekuje se i ekskluzivni box set sa retkim živim snimcima i fotografijama, kao i neobjavljenim pesmama iz tog perioda.  

***

Although U2's 360° tour started back in 2009 and eventually became the highest-grossing tour ever with earnings of over 700 million $, it seems that this tour isn't over yet, as previously announced. The band decided to return to the USA for another set of concerts, so they pushed a new album release to 2012.
But, there's more! The band members announce that they'll re-release "Achtung Baby" and "Zoorapa" albums to mark 20 years of their original release. Also, an exclusive box set is expected with rare live footage and unreleased songs from these eras.

UK Charts: Drugi #1 solo album za Beyonce / Beyonce scores her second #1 solo album


Novi album Beyonce, "4", debitovao je na prvom mestu britanske top-liste sa 89 hiljada prodatih primeraka. Beyonce je poslednji put do ove pozicije stigla sa svojim prvim albumom "Dangerously In Love" pre osam godina, ali njen najprodavaniji album u Velikoj Britaniji jeste njen prethodni album "I Am... Sasha Fierce" koji je do danas prodat u 1.411 hiljada primeraka.
Zahvaljujući Adele, čiji se albumi "21" i "19" nalaze na drugom i petom mestu, po prvi put se desilo u istoriji da se u top 5 nalaze tri albuma čiji su nazivi brojevi.
Pored Beyonce, u top 10 su još dva noviteta - prvi live album škotskog benda Biffy Clyro "Revolutions: Live at Wembley" (9. mesto, 12 715 primeraka) i novi studijski album grupe Kaiser Chiefs "The Future Is Medieval" (10. mesto, 12 469 primeraka). Ovo je treći top 10 album za Biffy Clyro i četvrti za Kaiser Chiefs, mada je ova pozicija razočaravajuća s obzirom na to da su njihova prethodna tri albuma bila u top 2.
Što se liste singlova tiče, "Don't Wanna Go Home" Jasona Derula nalazi se na prvom mestu drugu nedelju zaredom (60 316).
Zahvaljujući fantastičnom nastupu na Glastonbury festivalu, aktuelni singl Beyonce "Best Thing I Never Had" stigao je do trećeg mesta (51 365) i ovo je njen sedmi top 3 hit.
Novi singl Katy Perry "Last Friday Night" dospeo je u top 10 ove nedelje i nalazi se na devetom mestu (35 983) što je njen sedmi top 10 hit.
Nastup na Glastonburyju pomogao je i grupi Coldplay da se vrati u top 10 sa "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall" (10. mesto, 35 261).
Pogledajte ispod top 10 listu albuma i singlova.

Beyonce's new album "4" debuts at #1 at tthe UK Albums chart with 89k copies sold. The last time Beyonce reached the top spot was in 2003 with her debut album "Dangerously In Love", but her UK best-selling album was her previous effort "I Am... Sasha Fierce" which has been sold in 1 411k copies.
Thanks to Adele, whose albums "21" and "19" are at #2 and #5 this week, this is the first time in the UK charts history that three albums with numbers as titles occupy top 5.
Beside Beyonce, there are two more top 10 new entries - the first live album by Biffy Clyro "Revolutions: Live at Wembley" (#9, 12 715) and Kaiser Chiefs' new studio album "The Future Is Medieval"  (#10, 12 469). This is the third top top 10 album for Biffy Clyro and fourth for Kaiser Chiefs, although it's disappointing considering that their three previous albums reached top 2.
As for the Singles chart, Jason Derulo holds #1 for the second week with "Don't Wanna Go Home" (60 316).
Thanks to an amazing Glastonbury performance, the latest Beyonce's single "Best Thing I Never Had" flies to #3 (51 365) and this is her 7th top 3 hit.
Katy Perry's latest single "Last Friday Night" enters top 10 this week at #9 (35 983) making it Perry's 7th top 10 hit.
Glastonbury performance also helped Coldplay to return to top 10 with "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall" (#10, 35 261).
