This week’s videos hotfooting it to your puter have come all the way from America, so give them a welcome folks! Or just moan at your screen about the credit crunch being all their fault and how their president resembles a potato, that sort of thing. Both this week’s tasty treats come with a warning though, so be prepared - for magic is contained within… First up we have Billy Ray’s offspring Miley ditching her Mickey Mouse credentials for a spot of serious pop vixen behaviour, sporting magic hands. And then we have Mr Will.i.am, fitting in a solo outing in between his many producing engagements and he also has magic hands! RealMusic Blog’s hands are feeling a bit inadequate right now…
Will they, won’t they? That’s the question on all of our lips this morning as news hot off the rusty Bank Holiday presses suggest that an event first reported by wide-eyed fans more than a year ago is about to come true: yes, Britney Spears and former beau Justin Timberlake may finally be coming together in a studio sometime soon and singing on the same song! Or perhaps not, depending on which rumour you believe. Here at RealMusic Blog Towers though, we firmly believe in the power of pop and so have chosen to breathe life into the ‘it’s going to happen!’ rumour. It seems that our cherished dreams and those of the entirety of Planet Pop could be about to come true. Plus, it’s a fantastic excuse to post the denim-tastic image of the pair seen above…
And so we find ourselves in the brave new world of 2008, where Katy Perry is kissing girls and liking it, Jane McDonald is in the top ten album chart and where it’s been 11 whole years since The Verve’s seminal album “Urban Hymns”. A lot of mucky water’s passed under the bridge since then - not least with band in-squabbles causing the Wigan ensemble to call it a day in 1999. Lead singer Richard Ashcroft has churned out a couple of solo albums since, but obviously the cash has run a little high and dry because they’re reformed and reacquainted for their fourth studio album, entitled “Forth”. So have you missed them? Has there been a Verve-shaped hole in your life for the past nine years?
