I have a Stevie Wonder song for every occasion.
This is really good, right? I liked Adele’s first album mostly because I think she has an amazing voice, but this song — “Rolling in the Deep,” off of her forthcoming album 21 — is kind of a change of pace. The drums, the darker edge, the slow-build momentum. It’s a more mature, full sound than her stripped down, fairly safe debut album. Anxious to hear the rest. All right, enough about lady singers on here for awhile now.

It has recently come to my attention that promiscuous Grammy-winning singer-songwriter-Canadian Nelly Furtado is set to release a greatest hits album. At first glance, one might think: “wait, what?” And I can understand why; the one-two punch of “I’m Like a Bird” and “Promiscuous” does not a greatest hits album make. However, some light Googling uncovers that many young pop stars have indeed released greatest hits compilations with far fewer than two actual hits. So, we’ll throw in some “Turn Off the Light” and “Maneater,” add some “Say it Right,” a few Spanish language hits and Timbaland collabos, and you can maybe see how a full disc could be cobbled together for Ms. Furtado.
Plus, as anyone familiar with Top 40 radio knows, the whole idea behind a Best of… album is to make money with minimal effort; at most, artists record two or three new songs to entice their fans, hope that a lot of people have recently gotten a new computer and can’t figure out how to move all of their music from their old iTunes, and sit back as the cash rolls in. And if they’re really committed/have tons of free time, they may even shoot a music video, as Nelly F. did for her new track, the ironically named “Night is Young.” It’s ironic, you see, because Ms. Furtado is no spring chicken, a fact made all the more obvious by the 19 year olds driving her around town in the clip.
But let’s look beyond that. Even though she looks old, Nelly still looks good, and there are other, more important lessons to be learned from this music video.
You know, for awhile, I thought the most important thing an artist named Nelly had ever taught me was what “Tip Drill” means. But, the Nellies of pop culture have indeed taught me a far greater lesson. Namely, How to Make Your Music Video Look Like a JC Penny Commercial in 10 Simple Steps.

A few months back, I previewed some of the SS11 collection from French collective Kitsune when they exhibited at (capsule) New York and rocked everyone’s collective world with their presentation. I got to see some of the current collection in person again last week nestled alongside Monitaly and Mark McNairy downstairs at Dover Street Market in London and was reminded of how sometimes it’s just nice to see a brand that does basics really well.
Now, Kitsune has released this teaser video for their spring 11 line. In the clip, models Hadrien and Nane race each other to put on some of those pastel pants, cardigans and button-downs that you’ll want to get your hands on in a few months. But let’s be serious: this video is really about watching models in their undies.
Feel bad about your own body until the 2:25 mark, when Hadrien and Nane show you that just like money can’t buy you class, sexiness can’t buy you rhythm.
