Le Kid - America (SWE)

The bright and bubbly musical troupe that is Le Kid are just about ready to deliver their debut album which I'm sure will consist of some catchy as hell tracks which have been a trademark by these talented Swedes. Le Kid's big claim to fame this year came when they competed for the chance to represent their home nation in the stupendous 2011 Eurovision Song Contest.

Beyoncé - Run The World (Girls)

Epic. That's the word that comes to mind when I think of the single campaign and video for Queen B's song Run The World (Girls). The visual is stunning with a global, gender military aesthetic that obviously cost a bundle to assemble. The single campaign unfortunately is an "epic fail" because over a month after the debut we see Girls sliding swiftly down the worldwide charts. Will this video help provide some desperately needed juice? Only time will tell.

Parade - Perfume (UK)

Take me away to London town! I love how British this music video is. Union Jacks, the Tower of London, the river Thames, it's just so damn UK. It's perfectly suited for Parade, Britain's newest and hottest girband who are releasing their second single Perfume next month. Their debut Louder went straight to the top 10 and I'm hoping that that success is repeated because I enjoyed this tune the moment I heard the intro horns.

Aqua - How R U Doin'

In a far far distant time known as the 1990's, I was a tween with a love for pop music and amongst my collection of tunes was the Aqaurium album by Aqua. Almost a decade and a half later I still find myself drawn to the bubblegum pop goodness of this Scandinavian quartet.

Havana Brown - We Run The Night (AUS)

Havana Brown is an Australian DJ who has found recent and slightly unexpected suuccess with her single We Run The Night, which has gone to #7 on the charts Down Under. This is a track that's easily portable from daytime radio to an evening at the club.

M Pokora - A nos actes manqués (FRA)

M Pokora (the "M" stands for Matt) has been one of the most popular popstars in the French speaking world and like many artists of recent years it all began courtesy of a reality TV competition. A nos actes manqués is a cover of a song released back in 1991 and the video is a celebration of vibrant island life.

Calvin Harris feat. Kelis - Bounce

Back in 2009 Calvin Harris, DJ extraordinaire and sometime music brat, released the album Something For The Weekend that featured his #1 hit single I'm Not Alone. That was a while ago but he has re-emerged in fighting form with a track featuring newly turned dance diva Kelis. Bounce has plenty of blips and bloops and will be part of many a summer soundtrack for 2011.
