SA star, activist Danny K is back with a brand new single. It’s called Brown Eyes and it’s blazing at the moment. The song has been added to most of the radio playlists and with the video’s release, it’s bound to get loads of TV time and Internet views too. Good work Danny. Nice video too.

The 19th edition of the South African Music Awards (SAMAs) has arrived. The technical, non-broadcast or as host for the evening Tumi Morake said, the Tumi Show awards, were held in the Sun City resort on Friday evening. Some of the big nominees were in attendance, as were sponsors, media and other invited guests.
I was there tweeting, instagraming and filming (footage to follow soon). It was a lovely evening and this part of the awards weekend is always so enjoyable. It’s a nice way to ease into the festivities and it’s good to catch up with some of the nominees and winners. Here is a list of the winners from tonight:

Dr Malinga’s outfit deserves a mention (you decide whether it’s winning or not) but it had a lot of people talking… So I thought I should share the pic too.

How amazeballs is this track? DIGGING IT!!! It’s the new one from Daft Punk featuring one of the coolest dudes out there, Mr. Pharrell Williams. Hot, hot, hot. Daft Punk’s new album, ‘Random Access Memories’ is out on the 21st of May. You can pre-order it on iTunes:

Love it!
Cool video out of South Africa. This one is by singer/ rapper Blaze and it features someone by the name of Fruity. Funky track, nicely done.
Chris Brown is working on new music and a sample of the new offering has just been released. It’s his new single called Fine China and you can see the video above. Funky track… Hopefully he’ll be making good music like this to heal his ‘broken heart’, in light of his recent split from Rihanna
This man knows how to make good, catchy pop music. Pitbull’s latest offering, Feel This Moment features one of the most underrated artists of our time… Ms. Christina Aguilera. This post is about their song together, but friends go and check out Christina’s Lotus if you haven’t already. It’s packed with singles, powerful lyrics and even bigger Aguilera pipes. One of my favourite albums from 2012 that I believe didn’t get as much love as it deserved.

This is my jam and what a way to get the new week going. It’s the new track from DJ Kent ft. Liquideep called Top Of The World. Liquideep’s new album, Welcome Aboard is due out very very soon – cannot wait. More on that in the weeks to come.
