Kanye West Reportedly Naming New Album ‘I Am God’

March 25th, 2013 James Shotwell

Oh, Kanye West. Will you ever stop being controversial?

The BBC is apparently hungry for news this morning because they cracked the code of writing and found a way to turn a one line story about a rumored baby name into a 500+ word article. Regardless, buried in their latest post on Kanye West and Kim Kardashian is a curious mention that the Chicago-bred rapper will be naming his forthcoming album I Am God.

You may have stumbled upon an installment from this viral sensation in the past few years and had its catchy auto-tuned melodies about dinosaurs or the cosmos stuck in your head. If so, you may have wondered (like I did) why …

While speaking about the show, Smith commented:

“Listen, every country in the world, that is the thing that I am most known for. No matter how big the movies get, it’s just ‘Fresh Prince’ everywhere.”

STREAM: Scissor Sisters – Shady Love

January 2nd, 2012 James Shotwell

Glam-pop act Scissor Sisters have released the lead single for their 2012 album and UTG has the stream you simply must hear.

Taking their typical insanity to all new heights, “Shady Love” is unlike any Scissor Sisters song you have heard before.

Florence + The Machine Cover Drake’s “Take Care” On BBC

November 25th, 2011 Grant Trimboli

Florence + The Machine have never given us a treat like the one they have today. The entire band performed a special set for BBC Radio One at their live lounge and it was a beauty. If you can’t enjoy this cover I have no clue what will suffice on this Friday morning.

Florence and her troop took on the task of covering Drake’s new title track “Take Care” featuring Rihanna. With an eclectic mix of clean electric guitar, piano, bass and of course Florence’s soothing vocals, they tackle the song with an astonishing ease.
