Rihanna – Diamonds

/ / Music News & Reviews

The lead single off of Rihanna’s seventh studio album Unapologetic, the video for “Diamonds” seems to mirror the chaos the personal life of the singer and her tumultuous on-again/off-again relationship with abusive boyfriend Chris Brown. The soulful but melancholy song isn’t a stand-out comparison to the performer’s earlier work, but the video does a good job matching the ballad to interesting imagery including the singer running down a dark road to nowhere, floating alone in an ocean, and in the middle of a destroyed hotel room slowly being put back together through reverse photography.

Christina Aguilera – Your Body

/ / Music News & Reviews

“Your Body” is the first single off Christina Aguilera’s seventh album Lotus. Directed by Melina Matsoukas, the video features the singer as a “playful, tongue in cheek” version of a black widow who seduces then kills men in a variety of different ways. I’ll admit the video, which certainly plays up the singer’s sex appeal with a variety of costumes including skintight dresses, corsets, fishnet stockings, and high heels, works better for me than the song itself which is the type of droning club music that doesn’t always best lend itself to the singer’s strong voice.

Sons of Great Dane – Why Ramble?

/ / Music News & Reviews

sons-of-great-dane-why-rambleKansas City Power pop five-piece band Sons of Great Dane have re-released their first album Why Ramble? along with their new EP You Can’t Lose it All, All at Once through Sharp County Records. The highlight of the 10-song album is “Bullet Left It’s Barrels Head,” but there’s plenty here for fans of the genre from the catchy “Easy Train” to the more low-key melodies of “The Ballad of Lou Baker.” Although the new EP feels a little more serious (it doesn’t have the more lighthearted and fun tone of Why Ramble?), it’s certainly worth a listen to those who enjoyed the band’s first album. You can check out Sons of Great Dane’s recent appearance on the Chevy Music Showcase here and listen to both the album and EP inside.
