As he promised, Justin Bieber has just released the official video for his comeback single ‘What Do You Mean?’ at the end of the MTV Video Music Awards.
A snippet of the video was floating around the Internet and from the looks of that, the Biebs was getting a little heated in it. So watch the video in full below, and hopefully it doesn’t have you asking ‘what do you mean?’ at the end.
Enjoy!
Friday, August 28 is finally here – The Weeknd’s release date for Beauty Behind The Madness (BBTM). You can purchase it (I will be to support) or listen to it on Spotify! Seriously, thank God for that app. It’s the best $9.99 I spend each month.
Beauty Behind The Madness here!
And I also just found a Weeknd Essentials playlist. Holy smokes. If you are a fan of Abel Tesfaye, you should ‘follow’ this playlist. It’s a compilation of his old and newer songs, including tracks from BBTM.
Happy Friday, yinz!
I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty amped about this new single from the Biebs. As a follower of the Canadian native on Instagram (don’t judge), I’ve even more so anticipated this track due to the star-studded social media campaign behind it. Since the announcement of thre track on July 29 on Ryan Seacrest’s syndicated radio show, every day Justin has had a fellow celebrity promote the song on Instagram. Celebrities ranged from Ed Sheeran to Tony Hawk to Kendal Jenner (yes, she’s a celebrity – get over it) to Ben Stiller and Shaquille O’Neal to name a few.
Some of you may be shaming me for supporting him, but he’s quite talented and his talent is what originally brought him into the spotlight, so for that, he has my support. Don’t act like you were all perfect growing up. 🙂
So give it a listen and see for yourself if all the promotion was worth the hype!
And if you’re interested in a more in-depth explanation of his social media campaign for this song, you can read a great article on Billboard’s website.
Like I’ve said before, I normally don’t like listening to new albums until the release date, but this one I just can’t wait until Friday for. Thanks to my roommate Kylie and RapFav.com, here is a link where you can stream The Weeknd’s Beauty Behind the Madness album. Listen while you can! You never know – these things tend to get taken down. What tracks are your favorite? Would love to know.
Enjoy, yinz!
Tell all your friends! But seriously. The Weeknd has graced us with the Kanye-produced track ‘Tell Your Friends’ that we heard snippets of last week. Not only is the full audio out but also visuals! Really enjoying this Kanye-Weeknd friendship. They are both such creative individuals – I love seeing them work together.
The release of this video is all leading up to Abel’s album Beauty Behind the Madness dropping this Friday!
Watch on Vevo here, and happy Monday!
On yesterday’s episode of Beats 1, Majid Jordan took over the airwaves on OVO Sound Radio. Majid debuted the new song ‘Learn From Each Other’, and it’s filled with electro-R&B sounds. Once again, the duo doesn’t disappoint.
And even more exciting, they are working on their follow-up album to 2014’s EP A Place Like This.
Listen here! Hope you’re all having a great Sunday!
About an hour ago, The Weeknd dropped on his Facebook page a link to his Soundcloud of what appears to be snippets from his oh-so-soon album Beauty Behind the Madness.
I typically don’t like listening to new music until the release date, but I couldn’t wait any longer. His voice is truly like no other. Abel is back, and he doesn’t disappoint. Although, I must admit I will always be a bigger fan of his older music compared to the more mainstream, radio hits, but regardless. Still so good.
Enjoy yinz! And have a wonderful weeknd!
And happy happy birthday to my best friend, Natalie – hope it’s epic, boo!
And we can absolutely not forget about The Weeknd’s announcement today about his upcoming ‘The Madness Fall Tour.’ I am one million percent going to this. Travi$ Scott, Banks, and Halsey will also be joining him. He’ll be in LA on Tuesday, December 8 at The Forum in Inglewood. It’s crazy to think that back in 2012 he was performing at much smaller venues, and now The Forum! While it’s not nearly as big as Staples Center, it is definitely a bump up, and I think it’s epic he’s only getting bigger.
And what’s even more exciting is his next album Beauty Behind The Madness drops next Friday, August 28, so he will clearly be performing a majority of his new (and hopefully older) songs. He went on a fall tour last year after the release of Kiss Land. Obviously I attended.
The tour kicks off in his hometown of Toronto on November 3 and will make a total of 22 stops. Pretty sure the presale for tickets is next Wednesday – on it! Check the dates below to see if he’s making a stop in your city! If he isn’t, you should just fly to LA and see him with me. 🙂

The visuals are finally here for Future’s ‘Where Ya At’ featuring Drake. The track comes off of Future’s chart-topping album DS2, which I must admit I haven’t listened to in full yet.
How dope is this… the video actually premiered tonight on the Sony Billboard in Times Square!
I’m also digging Future’s clean cut look throughout, especially in the XO varsity jacket. And Drake. Well obviously I like his look but specifically in this when he’s in the suit towards the end. And his dance moves kill me. Love.
Watch it all below!
Woah, woah, woah. Hold up. Calling all Drake and Florence + The Machine fans. This mashup of Florence’s ‘Delilah,’ which I suprisingly already had on a Spotify playlist, and Drake’s response track to Meek Mill, ‘Back to Back,’ makes the song that much better.
Much love to editing magician Tesher and Reddit for putting this together, and the visuals are even more dope.
Check those out above and the audio here! What a great start to my, and hopefully your, day!
