Craic'y Must Listen: Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger" Posted by S&M NY , Tuesday, October 25, 2011 at 10:32 AM, in Labels: Celeb Craic, Craic'y Must Listen

Kelly Clarkson is back with a brand new album after three long years! "Stronger", Clarkson's fifth studio album does not disappoint with eighteen solid tracks that will pull at your heart strings like only Kelly can. While the lead single Mr. Know It All hasn't fared so well on the charts like previous lead singles "Since You've Been Gone" and "My Life Would Suck Without You" there is no doubt that she can reclaim her usual top spot. Songs like "What Doesn't Kill You" and  "Let You Down" are the crowd pleasing anthems that we have come to love and expect from the 29 year old singer. Fear not, there are plenty of haunting ballads that highlight the singers beautiful voice and raw emotion like "Honestly", "Why Don't You Try" and Don't You Wanna Stay" (featuring Jason Aldean) This is the perfect album to get you through those cold winter nights and should not be missed! Preview some of my favorite tracks below and head over to itunes purchase "Stronger" now!

Craic'y Must Listen: Jojo "Disaster" Posted by S&M NY , Tuesday, August 30, 2011 at 12:03 PM, in Labels: Celeb Craic, Craic'y Must Listen

It's been a few years since you we've last seen Jojo and girl is all grown up! Jojo dropped her first single "Disaster" off her album "Jumping Trains" This album has been over a year in the making and has faced quite a bit of set backs. However hard work and perseverance paid off and Jojo has what surely will be a radio smash. After releasing "In the Dark" earlier this year, the singer faced some harsh criticism for the sexy R&B track. Many critics feared she was going in the direction of many other young pop sensations, going for sex over substance. She assures critics and fans that this is not the case saying "that is not my intention; my intention is to be transparent and truthful. Art imitates life and that is what I allow it to do" Well luckily for us art imitating life is what brought us "Disaster" a mid tempo track reminiscent of her other smashes "Leave (Get Out) and "Too Little, Too Late" The singer will be joining Joe Jonas on tour later this year. Things are really looking up! Listen to the infectious track, perfect for all those going through a Summer romance break up. X

Craic'y Must Listen: Nicole Scherzinger "Wet" Posted by S&M NY , Monday, May 9, 2011 at 12:46 AM, in Labels: Celeb Craic, Craic'y Must Listen

I am declaring this a summer smash! While right off the bat there is nothing musically groundbreaking about the dance track "Wet" off Nicole Scherzinger's solo album Killer Love, you cant deny its infectious hook and beat. The song will no doubt be all over the club scene and every pool party this summer. I have not stopped dancing since I have heard it. The album is out now and contains a few gems including a great remix of "Heartbeat" a sexy track that she did with Enrique Iglesias. I have a feeling that she will be one to watch. With her album finally arriving and hosting duty on X Factor this summer I have a feeling that her time to shine has finally come. I bet those other pussycats are wishing they had as many lives as Nicole right now. Don't forget she went from Eden's Crush, to PCD, to a failed solo career, back to PCD, Dancing With the Stars to now her biggest year yet. Good luck! Listen to "Wet" and "Heartbeat" below
