Stetson collaborated with Erin McCarley on our Fall Look Book project. She chose to cover “I Saw The Light” by Hank Williams and we styled her in Stetson for the video shoot. We all had a great time making the video - the energy of working with such an accomplished artist is fantastic and her take on the song is fresh.
“The ‘Cold War’ music video was filmed in the black box auditorium at The Palace of the Dogs sanitarium. This is the complete first take. This performance is unaltered and unencumbered, as those of us in attendance on that day experienced it.”
Label drama may have impeded the release of JoJo’s new album, but nothing can stand between her and her fans. The 19-year-old songbird breaks her silence with her mixtape Can’t Take That Away From Me. While she explores new territory on the collection, it is not necessarily indicative of the sound on her forthcoming studio album All I Want Is Everything. “I was just able to take more of a risk,” JoJo told Rap-Up.com. “It is all over the place, just like me.” The empowered singer took to her blog to share her thoughts on the long-awaited release day. “In releasing this mixtape, I’m affirming that even though some have tried they CAN’T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME,” she wrote. “What is THAT? My voice, my spirit, my drive, my dreams. As you listen to these songs, I hope that they make your head nod, your mind tick, your emotions move, your belly laugh, and maybe elicit a ‘stanky face’ or something ;) Lol.”
We would like to reiterate our opinion that Willow Smith, youngest daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, is not her purported age of nine but, in fact, a well-preserved 35-year-old, rendered intact and wee by the massive powers of Scientology. Actually, this may be a Children of the Corn scenario, where every under-12 dancer in this video is going to rise up and slaughter all of the adults to create a freakishly talented new world, defined by its inability to age and its precocious maturity. The aliens will swoop down to save Willow’s parents, Tom Cruise and Leyomi Mizrahi (whose hair cameos in this video) before the global eradication of all over-20s. The leaders of the new world order will be Biebz, Willow and Diggy Simmons. The government will be Nickelodeon. Sorry Soulja Boy. We are all irrelevant from here on out. Good night.

"In my opinion there’s a stark difference between a re-mix, in which an artist reinterprets an original work and changes the overall mood; and a “re-fix,” in which the artist takes the original song and capitalizes on the emotions and themes already present in the piece. The “re-fixer” doesn’t reimaging the song; he enhances it, taking it to a higher plane of interpretation and production while maintaining the original’s emotional and melodic integrity.

Tuesday October 12, 2010 sees the release of the brand new single “Hands” from
The Ting Tings. A work of pure electro-disco heaven, “Hands” is a global shout out to everyone who’s working too hard.
After a whirlwind of touring live in the US, Europe and almost everywhere else non-stop for the last two years, The Ting Tings chose to move to Berlin to live and work. Renting out a disused basement jazz club in East Berlin’s Freidrichshain District, they turned it into their own studio. Spending the winter of 2009 with their music equipment, fairy-lights, pens and gaffer tape and with no TV, no visiting friends, no distractions at all, they wrote, recorded and produced their next album. “Hands” is the first track to come from those sessions.
“Our time in Berlin was a fresh start, with no rules again,” explains Jules. “When you’ve had an album that’s been successful, the danger is you go back in the studio, look back
and try and emulate it”. “It’d be so lazy and easy to make the same album twice,” adds Katie. A blast of the dancefloor monster “Hands” shows they mean what they say - a totally brand new sound from The Ting Tings and an exciting taste of things to come.read full bio
