Rihanna Video: Unfaithful

by Joi on August 13, 2010

Rihanna is one of the hottest music stars today and for good reason – she’s incredibly talented, beautiful, charismatic, stylish, and likable. Since a day without a Rihanna video in it isn’t quite complete, here’s a great one to get us through: Rihanna’s Unfaithful video.



Joe Brooks Releases Superman Video

by Joi on August 4, 2010

Singer-songwriter Joe Brooks has released a music video for his debut single “Superman.” The video features the musician performing in a New York style loft and is definitely worth checking out. “Superman” will appear on Brook’s debut album, Constellation Me, available August 17th on Universal Republic Records. Check it out now.

Fans all over the world have responded and connected with Brooks’ first single, “Superman,” which has almost 10 million MySpace plays to date. And as his online fan base continues to grow (now closing in on 20 million MySpace plays overall), there is apparently a real world connection: his first two UK tours, 16 date’s total, sold out, without the help of a label or publisher.

Written over three years and recorded in Los Angeles and England, in everywhere from state of the art recording studios to a garage apartment, Brooks’ upcoming release is the culmination of his musical efforts. Covering elements of rock, pop, and blues, Brooks’ recorded music reflects his own personal tastes from John Mayer to Ray Charles. But above all else Brooks is a born-performer and must be witnessed live to really understand his vision and art.

Fans can now receive a FREE download of “Superman” by signing up for the Joe Brooks newsletter here!

OneRepublic took the stage for I Heart Radio and performed a cover of The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army.”  Ryan Tedder and the rest of the guys threw in a twist when launching into Justin Timberlake’s “SexyBack” for the crowd full of fans.
