music: little boots – shake (the long awaited sophomore LP debut single)

Published November 11, 2011

It has been a while since I last had the chance to post about Little Boots. Her phenomenal “Shake Til Your Heart Breaks” mixtape dropped a couple of weeks ago and has pretty much been on repeat since then (download link under the cut). Today the full single for “Shake” went live – and it is pretty f*cking ace. Definitely worth the last two years of anticipation.

Published November 10, 2011

That Rihanna reign just won’t let up. Ok, so before you hit play below, check this post from my boy MuuMuse that details his reaction to a written preview of the album GIF by GIF. It is phenomenal. Personally, I am stoked for this album to drop and am super excited that Rihanna is working with Bangladesh (Kelis – Bossy, Beyonce – Diva) and lots of Stargate (obviously). Artwork below along with the preview (full track list under the cut). Enjoy.

duran duran – girl panic! directed by jonas akerlund feat. naomi campbell, cindy crawford, eva herzigova, yasmin lebon + helena christensen

Published November 8, 2011

You are about to witness one of the most creative, intelligent and beautiful pieces of video content that 2011 has had to offer. Girl Panic! is a fantastic brand collaboration between Duran Duran, The Savoy London and Swarovski Elements directed by KARLISMYUNKLE favourite Jonas Akerlund (Paparazzi, Telephone, Hold It Against Me) and produced to celebrate the heritage of one of rock and rolls most iconic groups.

The video stars Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Eva Herzigova, Yasmin LeBon and Helena Christensen as the band itself in a day-in-the-life-of exposé – along with some breathtaking footage that makes you proud to be a Londoner. It also features a rather special Dolce & Gabbana cameo appearance where the duo plays Harper’s Bazaar UK’s guest fashion editors for the day during a photoshoot scene. Check the video out below with a making of clip under the cut.
