Since the new Killers track Frank posted has already been pulled from YouTube by the PTB, I thought I’d post a few new tracks here, with quick reviews:
[xspf]_start(‘New Tunes Sept-08′);[/xspf]
1. The Alicia Keys and Jack White – Another Way to Die James Bond theme song. This just rocks. I was sad when Amy Winehouse backed out of the Quantum of Solace theme, but this is a great collaboration. Note: it just fades out suddenly at the end. But it rocks, so I had to post it anyway.
2. The Killers – Human Laura and I listened to this song together, and we both thought the line “Are we human, or are we dancer?” was hilarious. This song sounds like it was written to be background music for a love scene in Gossip Girl. You heard it here first. My deep hatred for The Killers continues unabated.
3. Mariah Carey – Lovin’ U Long Time (Remix) I had to throw this one in here. What a remix!
4. Britney Spears – Womanizer Not sure what I think of this track. Opening singles traditionally aren’t my favorite songs – consider “I’m a Slave 4 U”. For pop icons like Britney they’re supposed to be a big statement or reinvention. I have to listen to it a couple dozen times before I make a final judgement. Danja, Bloodshy and Avant, Keri Hilson, and most importantly Guy Sigsworth and Max Martin (!) are returning to collaborate on her new album Circus.
