Le Corps Mince de François - Cool and Bored (FIN)

My bad for missing this one as the video's been out since June and it's by the eccentrically brilliant Finnish four piece that is Le Corps Mince de François, one of my faves. I posted their video for Gandhi back in December and was chuffed to hear a bit of French in Cool and Bored because despite their French name they are not of that origin nor do they usually sing in the language. Whatever tongue they perform in it doesn't matter because they're so good!

Sunday Girl - Love U More (UK)

Oh, Sunday Girl. What is going on?? It's been over a year since we first heard the sublime Four Floors and we're still without a proper album. I imagine it has something to do with the fact that though she's got an online following, it has yet to translate to any chart success. It's a real shame because I feel like Sunday Girl is one of the more unique female artists out there right now. Love U More is out December 4th.

Kelly Rowland feat. Big Sean - Lay It On Me

OK, we sense a theme here and it's sexy! Kelly Rowland once again gets down to scantily clad basics with her new video for the song Lay It On Me featuring Big Sean. Her video for Motivation, one of the summer's big hits, also featured Ms. Kelly and a bevy of young hotties in a steamy and scintillating scenario (yay alliteration!). With Kelly sitting on the judge's panel for the current series of X Factor UK, one would hope that they give her an opportunity to perform the track on a live show and send the single shooting up the charts.

The Saturdays - My Heart Takes Over (UK)

I love it whenever I see a video that was shot in Iceland, my adopted home country that I visited in 2009. The landscape is as chillingly breathtaking in real life as it is in the video for the third single from The Saturdays upcoming album On Your Radar which is out in November.

Zowie - Smash It (NZ)

It's been a while since we've heard from Kiwi singer Zowie, but she's out with a new video for the single Smash It. It's pure pop with a slight edge, and what else would you expect when she's clad in yellow DM's and wielding a huge baseball bat? No definitive word yet on when we'll be seeing an album release.

Coeur de pirate - Adieu (CAN)

Coeur de pirate (pirate's heart) is the stage name of Quebecois singer-songwriter Béatrice Martin. In 2009 she captivated much of French speaking Europe with her self-titled debut album and the single Comme des enfants (like children). It reached great heights on the French and Belgian charts and this fall Coeur de pirate is releasing the follow up, the album entitled Blonde. Adieu is the first single off the LP and the video for it is rather entertaining.
