I’ll admit, I was mildly excited when I heard this was boxing themed because if there’s one thing “Heartbreaker” taught us it’s that Mariah is good at kicking her own ass.
But actual movement would’ve required a wardrobe consisting of more than stilettos and sequined spandex so my dreams were shot to shit.
Seriously. This is the best video she’s ever made, wearin them braids lookin like 16-year-old Brandy Sittin Up In My Room. So excited for her. And she got 3 million views in five days? Forreal? Y’all still checkin for my girl like that?
If you are a gay black man (or if your spirit animal would be in a Paris Is Burning remake), the talented one from Danity Kane has made an album just for you.
David Guetta gets Nicki Minaj to step out of her comfort zone and sing (with autotune, naturally) against a thumping club beat.
97. The Strokes “Under Cover of Darkness”
The Strokes try to re-capture the magic of Is This It with their first single in five years, a throwback to “Last Night.”
96. Destroyer “Savage Night at the Opera”
Nine albums in, Dan Bejar is as smooth as ever, especially on this cut which feels like what would happen if 1987-era Sade replaced Ms. Adu with a random white man.
And here are my top 10 albums of 2011. I checked around, and only a couple of them made any official top ten lists…but all those rankings are boo-zhee anyway and this is what you really should be listening to. (Not really…this is just what I like…)
Mariah Carey has a new video and it is somewhat less than “Triumphant.”
