Britney Spears Enjoys Whips, Bondage And Sharks In New Video For 'Work Bitch'

Now, we all knew this day was coming, yes indeed, we knew Britney Spears would be releasing a video to the first single, Work Bitch, taken from her eighth(!) studio album, but were we expecting something so incredible? Honestly, i'm not sure what I was expecting, but what we have been given has definitely gone above my expectations for any Britney music video we've seen so far, and why is that the case, do I hear you ask? The answer is simple; Britney Spears, is 100% back.




We all know Britney went through a tough time, but it seems those days are well and truly behind her as the single oozes sex appeal in her new music video. After many years in this industry, Britney knows herself, she knows her body, she knows her ability and lets be honest, Britney knows how to own it, she also looks absolutely bloody amazing throughout this video, but especially here:


Oh and also here:




The video see's Britney experiment with Bondage, whips, and even surrounded by a pool full of sharks, whilst reminding us all that if we want something, then bitch we need to work for it!




I personally think the production that has gone into this video has most definitely paid off and i'm more than excited to see someone using a Beats pill as a gag, 'cause you know, it was only a matter of time, and why not make product placement interesting? I also enjoyed how much fun it looks like she had in this video, because dancing around on a big white bathroom tile must be pretty damn exciting and I want one of my own, and maybe a load of backing dancers would also be nice too.

Don't you just love a bit of Whipney?

Cher Lloyd Debuts Dazzling Hollywood Smile In New 'I Wish' Video

Cher Lloyd's much anticipated video for her debut single 'I Wish' taken from her sophomore album has been released and I've got to admit it - I like it. The video itself is incredibly simple and see's Cher continue to sing about all the things she wishes she was to gain the affection of rapper T.I who guest features on the single, all whilst glammed up girls are mean to Cher who plays the role of hard-done-by-yet-down-to-earth waitress.

Something looks...different?

It's a nice enough video and the typical girl getting the man of her dreams theme is consistent throughout, of course. However the thing I noticed most was indeed Cher's smile! GONE is the gap that gave her a cute and quirky smile and in its place rest a perfect set of pearly whites. It seems Cher's american transformation is officially complete and she is another celebrity who has succumbed to the need of that hollywood smile.

The gap, oh how we'll miss you

I actually think these are a pretty good new set of teeth and they don't look too ridiculous or horse like, but I also couldn't help but catch myself constantly looking out for them either, meaning I had to watch the video about four times to take it all in.

A cheeky side note for you all, in a previous interview with Alan Carr, Cher has seemed very against the idea of veneers, even poking fun at TOWIE's Chloe, but seems to have changed her mind!

The song is available to buy on iTunes now and as of yet there is no official release date for Cher's second album. You can watch the video below:

Zedd And Hayley Williams Reveal 'Stay The Night' Video

Ever since Hayley Williams released 'Airplanes' with B.O.B back in 2010 we've all been waiting patiently to see if she'd ever step aside from her band Paramore again, just once, to come up with another magical creation.

It seems we've had to wait a good three years, but that wait was indeed worth it as this time the orange haired beauty has teamed up with Zedd to bring us "Stay The Night." The song is pretty much exactly what you'd expect to hear in any club at the moment, however, the nice difference here is that Hayley Williams can actually sing. Always a bonus eh?



The video see's Hayley repeatedly belt out the question "Are you gonna stay the night?" whilst reassuring the recipient of the vocals that it "doesn't mean we're bound for life" which actually is pretty clever when you look a bit deeper into the track. I mean yes, it is something you're going to sing along to in a club, but it is quite cute that the song plays on the idea that we're all overthinking every action we make with our significant other. LOVELY.

There is something about the video that reminds me of Paramore's 'Ignorance' video and it probably is the blindingly obvious lightbulb part, but this video really is very well shot and edited. I enjoy the chasing around parts and the lighting really is something!

The dancers they chose for the video are also pretty damn fun to watch as they spin and turn and twirl over sofa's and beds, making me slightly jealous that I can't move like that, but that's not important and Hayley of course looks gorgeous as always, which is nice.

Miley Cyrus Shows Off Vulnerable Side In Wrecking Ball Music Video

Miley Cyrus has released the video to accompany her second single from her new album "BANGERZ" and whilst there are certain aspects of the video that make absolutely no sense, there is something very beautiful about the whole thing, isn't that sweet?

It seems whilst Miley isn't practising her new found love for twerking, the singer is able to show off a more vulnerable side and let everyone in on what really goes on up in that head of hers. The video itself is directed by the controversial fashion photographer Terry Richardson, so of course when viewing you should expect the unexpected.

What I really enjoyed about this video was actually how beautiful it is. At first glance, after that raunchy VMA performance, and the controversial reference to "Molly" in "We Can't Stop" it would be pretty damn easy to think Miley was just being raunchy and racey in the new video, but instead of you listen to the lyrics in the single and take into account what it really is about, you're able to appreciate just how vulnerable and beautiful this video is. Sure, she's riding around naked on a wrecking ball, but isn't that the point? Miley's opening up about feeling naked, vulnerable and exposed, and I believe the reference to exposure to be genius.

My only qualm with this very good video is Miley licking the sledge hammer that she uses to break down the walls, it does add some level of sex to what should be something artistic, although, as pointed out to me, this could well be a reference to the singer licking up whats happened, accepting it and taking empowerment from it.


Enough of what I think though, watch the artistic video below and make your own judgements:

Ellie Goulding Has It 'Under Control' For Halcyon Days

Ellie Goulding is being a great big tease at the moment and it has got us all far too over excited about the upcoming re-release of her album, Halcyon Days. So, to make us even more excited, she's only gone and put another one of the singles 'Under Control' on her youtube channel. If this is anything to go by, the new, repackaged album is going to be a real treat!



Under Control is written by Oliver Goldstein, Corey Nitta, Ellie Goulding herself and the songwriting genius that is Bonnie Mckee, who I garuntee you will all be hearing much more of in the coming year.



Under control is definitely an offering for the club scene this summer and is probably a single that's going to sit well in your top 25 most played playlists, enjoy the single above!

You can watch the video for Ellie's current single 'Burn' below:

Diana Vickers Throws A Party As She Releases 'Music To Make Boys Cry' Video

Diana Vickers is already moving full steam ahead towards the release of her album 'Music To Make Boys Cry' and has only gone and released the music video to the title track of the album. Serving as the second single, MTMBC has been slightly edited from the original version released previously.

In the video we can see Diana preparing before partying by what looks like herself, but the video is most definitely play on the song as the lyrics say "I got myself and I wanna make music to make the boys cry"



Watch the video for the new song below:
