Audrey Hepburn


Audrey Hepburn
(May 4,1929 - January 20,1993)




I adore Audrey Hepburn! She was such a classic beauty. She was unlike all the other Hollywood starlets during her time. She wasn't curvaceous, she wasn't a sex pot; Audrey was this skinny old thing but nevertheless just as gorgeous, if not more gorgeous. She was a style icon and great actress.

What I adored most about her was spirit, her endeavors outside of the acting world. She is someone I still look up to even after her death. She kind of steered me in the direction I'm headed towards with my studies and career.Audrey Hepburn is a great role model.

I think if you watch the videos below, you'll get a better understanding of who she was. Maybe you'll learn to love her just as much as I do

Artist Spotlight: Uffie





"Yes I'm Uffie and I ain't giving a fuck...."

I've known of Uffie for quite some time now. I first discovered Uffie's music a few years back on a friends profile in the "then" popular networking site myspace (r.i.p.)...I was like who the f&*k is this chick? She was rapping in an English accent and talking about being a hot chick and not sucking d&*( and all this other mess...It hella had me laughing!...It was absurd but nevertheless entertaining and kind of infectious and charming? LOL




So from there, I had to research her....turns out this English-rapping chick really isn't British. Born Anne-Catherine Hartley, she was originally from Florida. She moved around a lot in her childhood with her father. Around 15, she moved over to Paris where she became involved in the music and dance scene. In 2006 she was signed to Ed Banger records based off her single "Pop The Glock"; a collaborated with Dj Feadz (her fiance)...She's an '87 baby like me too! Yay!

She still hasn't released an album, just singles, but after 4 years in the making they have set for her freshman album "Sex Dreams & Denim Jeans" to be released in early 2010! I hope some of you learn to love her music. I certainly do.


Here is the video to her first single POP THE GLOCK with some lyrics

Eva Simons - Silly Boy

FYI (_Title has link to her website_ )

 




There's this song that I heard on Tiesto's clublife podcast a few weeks ago. He always mixes current and classic songs in the dance/electronica world....Its absolute a must-subcribe-to podcast if you love that kind of music!

Anyways, the song is by Eva Simons and it is titled "Silly Boy"...
NO PEOPLE! THIS ISN'T RIHANNA, THIS ISN'T LADY GAGA!

I think the actual single release was earlier this summer. So if you listen to the song, its basically about how this ex of hers is trying to reach out to her now after they broke up. She wants nothing to do with him. He's a silly boy to think that she'll take him back ;)

I agree. Maybe its because I'm young and haven't had anyone worthy of going back with...I know my worth and I'm above it all (not trying to sound conceited honestly). I think once its done and over with, that's it. i don't like repeating things and that includes boys ;)

Believe it or not this 24yr old Dutch artist has been out since 2004 when she won a reality talent show called Popstars. She was in a girl band called Raffish for a while. Silly boy is her first solo single...She's still working on her album....I can't wait to hear it....I hope its good!

Spotlight: Natalie Imbruglia


I'm on my Natalie Imbruglia flow today.
Her new album Come To Life, is set to come out 02/2010
She has two new songs called & Wild About It & Want. The video for Want is sexy! I like the song because it kind of puts you in the shoes of a women who has been hurt by a lover. While he's off moving on with his life, she is still feeling hurt and can't seem to move on. She's somewhat bitter, but nevertheless, I love it. I've never felt that way, but I can only imagine how one must feel. Doesn't sound too nice.



I've always been a fan of hers. She never really got that much notice following her hit single Torn from the album Left Of The Middle (1997)
She later released her sophmore album White Lilies Islands.
 
If you haven't heard White Lilies Island I recommend you do so. Its so ethereal, soft, lovely and romantic. Some of her singles from White Lilies included: Wrong Impression, Come September, & Butterflies.




Later she released Counting Down The Days in 2005. Her single Shiver received notice alongside James Blunts Beautiful and Coldplay's Speed of Sound for the Ivor Novello Award in the PRS most-performed work category in 2006.


Basically this is a re-introduction to Natalie Imbruglia, the gorgeous multi-talented Aussie. Go check out her latest song and peep her new album in 02/2010
Before her music career began, she was a famous actress in Australia and known for her work in the Aussie Soap Opera Neighbours
