DAILY DOWNLOAD: Emeli Sande – ‘Crazy In Love’ (Beyonce Cover)
You could say Emeli Sande is having the best year ever, despite it only being May 1.
Sande has made a successful transition across the pond with her breakout hit single, “Next To Me.” Her album has stayed in the Top 10 longer than any other debut LP ever – breaking a record held by The Beatles. Plus Sande landed a track on “The Great Gatsby” soundtrack. As if covering a Beyonce classic with The Bryan Ferry Orchestra wasn’t enough, Sande will also walk the red carpet for the movie premiere. Actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire will be in attendance, along with Jay-Z and Florence Welch.
DAILY DOWNLOAD: Paramore – ‘Still Into You’
Describing the past couple of years as “a roller-coaster” for the band Paramore would be both cliche and an understatement. In December of 2010, Josh and Zac Farro were done with the band, for good. Hayley Williams, Jeremy Davis, and Taylor York regrouped, released an EP, played some one-off dates on Vans Warped Tour, and then put out the band’s first studio album in four years. The self-titled LP is the first of the group’s to debut at number one. “Still Into You” is the lead single for pop radio.
DAILY DOWNLOAD: Jason Derulo – ‘The Other Side’
Jason Derulo is back, after a freak accident while dancing almost took his life.
The pop star was rehearsing for his world tour in January of 2012 when he mis-executed a flip and landed on his head. Derülo was diagnosed with a “Hang Man’s Break,” as he fractured the same bone that is broken when someone is hung. Many people die or are left paralyzed from the injury.
Derulo spent six months in a neck brace, and has made a full recovery. He now prepares to release his third studio LP, due out this summer on Warner Brothers Records. The first single is about his girlfriend Jordin Sparks, who joked on “The Ralphie Show” that as long as she’s breathing, Jason won’t attempt another back flip.
