Adrian Lux - Teenage Crime (SWE)

Here's a video from Swedish DJ Adrian Lux. The video about a middle aged woman who goes out on the prowl is actually pretty captivating against the hypnotic beats.

Japayork - Teenagers (UK)

Japayork is the stage name of 23 year old singer/songwriter/remixer/graphic artist Nick Blank. His name is a combination of Japan and New York, two places he lived prior to settling in London. Teenagers is an electro party jam that I am really loving at the moment. Japayork sometimes hits melodies that are reminiscent of Mika, don't you think?

Jamie Woon - Night Air (UK)

Lush, mysterious, sleek, sexy. Those are the words I would use to describe Jamie Woon's single Night Air. The London newcomer uses dubstep rhythms to accentuate his soulful vocals to produce a winning combination. I am really loving this track after first hearing it on DJ Annie Mac's show on BBC Radio 1 a few weeks ago.

Pixie Lott - Can't Make This Over

Pixie Lott is back with the second single from her re-packaged album Turn It Up Louder. Can't Make This Over is a ballad about being unsure whether to get back with someone after a breakup. With the video, the emphasis is on "back" as we see Pixie and her mates moving backwards during a night out.

Joe McElderry - Someone Wake Me Up (UK)

Joe McElderry won last year's edition of The X Factor. For you Americans, that's like American Idol, but older people and groups can compete as well. His album Wide Awake came out last month and now Disney has decided to use the track Someone Wake Me Up for the upcoming film Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader. Seeing as it's a sea faring film, Joe finds himself pretty drenched in the video.

Taio Cruz feat. Kylie Minogue - Higher

Taio Cruz (Feat. Kylie Minogue) - Higher from DJBEVAN on Vimeo.

The man in black, Taio Cruz, is back with his winter single Higher. He's recruited pop diva extraordinaire Kylie to help him on the verses. I'm not much of a car aficionado, but after watching the video I desperately want to go cruising in a black BMW. This version of Higher will be released in the UK & Australia while another version featuring Travie McCoy has been made for U.S. audiences.

Cheryl Cole - The Flood (UK)

The Flood is the second single from Cheryl's album Messy Little Raindrops, which went #1 a few weeks ago. It's kinda funny that Take That currently have a hit on the charts with the exact same title. I guess songwriters have been really inspired by disastrous weather lately?

SoundGirl feat. Twizzle - I'm The Fool (UK)

Here's another new act that I believe could have a lot of success in 2011. SoundGirl consists of Nikki, Olivia, and Izzy, three young women from London who perform upbeat pop and R&B. They have been working with the likes of Xenomania, one of the most prolific production houses in the UK. SoundGirl will be touring with Pixie Lott up & down Britain this winter. Along with rapper Twizzle who comes in for the middle 8, the ladies are poised to release their debut single I'm The Fool this spring.

Jesse McCartney - Shake

Jesse McCartney is a guilty pleasure of mine. Back in 2008, I listened to him in my car on the way to & from work, pretending I was actually listening to Chris Brown to diminish some embarassment I felt. Well Jesse is back with a new album and video for the first single, Shake.

Barbarellas - Body Rock (IRE)

Body Rock - Barbarellas from Barbarellas on Vimeo.

Edele and Keavy Lynch are twin sisters from Ireland who were formerly members of the girl band B*Witched. Back in the late 90's the group scored a hit stateside with C'est La Vie, which had already been a chart topper in Britain. B*Witched disbanded in 2002 and I thought the girl's were never to be heard from again. Well, they're back! The Lynches are now performing as Barbarellas and they've ditched the Disney bubblegum pop for some sexy synths.

Kelis - Brave

Brave is the 4th single from the album Flesh Tones. It's one of my favorites. In the video, we find Kelis in a simple white space, emoting. Splendid.

Jodie Connor feat. Wiley - Now Or Never (UK)

Jodie Connor is finally stepping out on her solo stuff after being featured on two big UK singles this summer, In My System by Tinchy Stryder and Good Times by Roll Deep, the latter going straight to number 1. The video kind of has an American feel to it which isn't a bad thing because, who knows, it could become a crossover success. But I do kind of wish that Wiley himself could have made an appearance.
