Pitbull Parties it up with John Ryan for "Fireball"

Pitbull is out to continue his journey as Mr. Worldwide, but he needs a fitting Mrs. to accompany him on his quest for "Globalization." The Miami rapper released the new music video for his latest party anthem, "Fireball," where he travels to a fun-filled Havana night club only to fall in love with a woman who feels quite reminiscent of Jessica Rabbit.
The energetic "Fireball," is the first single from his upcoming eighth studio album "Globalization," due in stores later this year via RCA. "Fireball" is a Latin-flavored and feel-good carnival-esque track with its catchy rhythm, featuring vocals by newcomer John Ryan. "Lot of craziness going on in the world right now, so lets escape it for 3:55," said the rapper before dropping the tune. The song is a collaboration with Ricky Reed and it came about while the pair were enjoying the titular cinnamon-flavoured whisky-based liqueur on a beach house roof. Reed told Billboard magazine it's a, "quasi ode to day drinking."
Directed by David Rousseau, The 1940s-inspired sexy clip has an old-school movie vibe that starts off in a black and white world, but it's not a stark, bleak affair and this is a Pitbull music video after all. Set backstage at a Latin-themed night club, we see Pitbull arriving in a retro car, fully suited, surrounded by a band, parties it up with some flamenco dancers, adorned in a variety of exotic outfits - feathers, fringe and bikinis dance along, because this world is on fire.
The party atmosphere is heightened by "Fireball" guest Ryan who plays the guitar and also surrounded by a batch of beauties. Soon, the world comes into color, tied almost completely to a red-dressed beauty. In a very obvious ode to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," men's hearts pound out of their chests and their tongues roll out of their mouths, but the buxom beauty only has eyes for Mr. 305. In a continuing ode to the beloved cartoon, Pitbull and his newfound love, A real-life Jessica Rabbit (except not a cartoon), leave the club, only to meet once again in a "caliente," rainy alleyway.

Benny Benassi's back for "Let This Last Forever"

The dance music icon Benny Benassi returns with a beautiful visual for his new summer jam "Let This Last Forever" performed by Gary Go. The music video is a synchronized swimming dream and is bound to stimulate every man's senses with an erotic dose of synchronized swimming. You're probably at the end of a long, exhausting week. Well, skip the espresso machine Monday morning, enjoy the video and get ready for a full dose of electro house induced energy, and let this last forever.
Benassi pools talents with British singer Gary Go, who lends his vocals once again. Their new upbeat collab, a more relaxing tune, beams summertime vibes. The single will be included on the Italian producer's upcoming album, due out later this year via Ultra Music. It's a shimmery, uplifting dance song that's a perfect segue between afternoon day drinking and late night partying. "Let This Last Forever" boasts Benassi's beloved signature sound. Coupled with Gary Go's inspiring, summertime lyrics, some acoustic strumming and a soaring melody, this is sure to please dance fans across the globe.
If you aren't familiar with the world of synchronized swimming, the Aqualillies are who you call. Remember the Nicki Minaj pool scene in the Justin Bieber "Beauty And A Beat" video? That was the Aqualillies synchronized swimming behind them. They are usually a part of a production, but in the video for "Let This Last Forever," director Bryan Schlam makes them the center of attention, focusing the entire video on some of the Aqualillies performing in a pretty amazing looking house overlooking Los Angeles.
The clip depicts graceful water ballet and sensual pool frolicking on a hot and sun-drenched afternoon that features the Aqualillies, a way glamorous synchronized swimming troupe, and alternates between mesmerizing, kaleidoscopic shots of the ladies doing formations in neon, floral print bikinis and swimming around au naturel. Schlam plays that up in the video with plenty of strategically placed shots and lingering slow motion. It's simply stunning, and in this case, might as well keep your head underwater. Watch the "Let This Last Forever" video below in all its glory.

Steve Angello released "Wasted Love" ft. Dougy

Steve Angello released his new video for a killer new track "Wasted Love" to his many eager fans in Times Square on the Sony jumbo-tron Monday, posing for pictures with his loyal fans, and handing out T-shirts customized "Wild Youth" T-shirts in anticipation of Angello's upcoming album due this fall via Columbia Records. The 31-year-old dance music innovator and globally acclaimed producer/DJ needs no introduction when it comes to pushing creativity beyond limits and made no exception for the premiere of the "Wasted Love" video taking it as big as it can get - the center of New York.
"Wasted Love" is his the first release from "Wild Youth," and this love ballad finds Angello linking up with the anthemic Australian band The Temper Trap's frontman Dougy Mandagi and adding guitars and strings to his usual EDM mix. The pair originally met in LA in late 2012. "We just wanted to have a song where our worlds collided a little bit, something that speaks to all of us, so I wanted to create something that was different but also honored The Temper Trap style," Angello told Rolling Stone. "I also wanted to find a great balance between dance and indie, and I kind of held back a lot just to create that moment where it's about the melodies and the songs."
"Wasted Love" takes you on an emotional roller coaster that leaves you in awe. Dougy's powerful voice and delivery of the lyrics and Angello's control of the energy in the melody and beat of "Wasted Love" build us up to a drop that rocks you to your very core. "It's always really interesting to see something really un-traditional happen," the former Swedish House Mafia member explained to MTV News this fantasy land is not a dream, but the video game of life. "We got a lot of initial pitches from different directors and we tried to find something that's very visual and different that ties together with my art direction of the album."
The new video, directed by Lance Drake, is a cinematic experience that seems to fall somewhere between a dream and an alternate reality, features an iconic cameo from Angello and an epic performance from Dougy. In the clip, we step into a vast "desert landscape meets art installation" world where we observe a video game of life being played. Viewers move from level to level during the song, experiencing the many stages of life, each obstacle represents birth, death, struggle, love, until the game is over.

Alexandra Stan Can't Help Herself But "Dance"

Following the release of her latest single "Cherry Pop," the Romanian dance/pop singer and model Alexandra Stan doesn't rest at all and she has ready another one called "Dance," as the third promotional track from her upcoming sophomore album and possibly the first international (specifically the U.S.) one. Burst onto the scenes with her international smash dance hit "Mr. Saxobeat," the 25-year-old Euro-dance vocalist has ditched experimenting with K-Pop and gone back to the sensual sexy sounds of the saxophone.
This time the singer returns to a more pop sound with electronic touches and the famous sax, slightly softened, and Stan moves away from the K-Pop experiment used in "Dance” and gone back to the sensual sexy sounds of her famous saxophone. It sounds more of K-pop with electronic touches and the song's beat is reminiscent of Ke$ha's "Die Young" meets Stan's very own "Mr. Saxobeat." It has a catchy melody to it that will just inspire her fans and listeners to get up and dance.
The lyrics start out rebellious yet they turn into positive and optimistic. "In my dreams you're falling, you're falling, you're falling down, I'm breaking, I'm breaking your rules, I really believe you can try and change your ways," Stan sings. "By the time you'll know I'm gonna take your hand, Won't let you go, We'll lose our mind, We'll lose our mind." I love how it ends subtle, with Stan singing the closing lyrics backed by acoustic guitar, displaying her honey-rich voice. "Why don't you dance dance dance, And fall in love with friends, let's start a new romance," she sings.
"Dance" is a fun little track (albeit safe) with an equally enjoyable visual. The Khaled Mokhtar-directed steamy video is pretty straight forward. It shows the Romanian dance queen, who is a gymnast/dancer/boxer, can't help but "Dance" and lets body language do the talking with her extremely toned body in an array of unitards while vamping it up for the entire 3:41, as Stan dancing and moving her body to the cheerful beat of "Dance," while different people dancing it out to this K-pop styled jammer exceptionally well. It reminds me of early Kylie! Check out the video below.

Kiesza Unleashed Follow Up "Giant in My Heart"

Our new favorite dance-pop singer Kiesza follows her number one single "Hideaway" with a new single "Giant in My Heart." It felt like Canadian pop belter came out of nowhere with her irrepressible and inescapable sound, and judging by its super-catchy follow-up "Giant In My Heart," she's here to stay. The Canadian songstress has now unleashed her a new wild accompanied clip for "Giant in My Heart," featuring a man who dresses up like a shimmering drag queen to watch her perform.
Kiesza has written music for Rihanna, Kylie Minogue and Icona Pop, and last week she put out her own debut EP, "Hideaway," on Island Records. It sounds right off '90s dance pop radio, but in the wake of Disclosure's breakthrough, that thumping bass also sounds pretty in-the-now. "Giant in My Heart," follows the same style of her soaring debut club throwback "Hideaway," mixing pop and deep house. It builds on the diva vocals and lose yourself-beat that made "Hideaway" a success, while the lyrics tackle the aftermath of a breakup. The perfect summer sound.
Kiesza has defied all expectations and dropped a massive tune as the follow-up to her international smash hit "Hideaway," proving that there is more to this new star than being a one-hit wonder. Picking up where "Hideaway" left off, "Giant In My Heart" once again sees the dance star plunder the 90s house scene for her beats, with subtle electronica pounding beneath her powerful, diva-esque vocals, before building to a seriously retro hook. All the while, Kiesza gives us another great dance sequence in theme with the song's '90s vibes.
Its video, on the other hand, is a definite departure from the visual clip for "Hideaway." Filmed on the streets of Williamsburg, the quirky new promo follows around a put-upon New Yorker who's living a double life: At first he seems like just another disgruntled 9-5er whose day is marred by the annoyances of working an unsatisfying and frustrated office job, but then we find out that he lead a very freeing, second life at nighttime, a fierce stiletto-wearing drag queen who goes to watch Kiesza perform in a club with his like-minded friends. By the end his two worlds collide, as if he's taken her lyric "just give me back the moments that we made" truly to heart.

Eric Prydz taking you under ocean in "Liberate"

With announcement of his Epic 3.0 show at Madison Square Garden later this year still reverberating around the tri-state area, Eric Prydz wastes no time in releasing another piece of media to satisfy his always hungry fans. His recent single "Liberate" now gets a summer-ready music video treatment, taking you under the ocean and into the depths of rolling waves. A summer anthem, that was handpicked by BBC radio 1's Zane Lowe as his "Hottest Record In The World," needs a video that suits the euphoric mood, and now the Swedish producer has delivered just that.
One of the kings of house music, the 37-year-old Swede has an enviable knack for writing anthems, and he might just have done it again with this one. Following the classic Prydz sound, "Liberate." has those punchy and clear drums, some encompassing vocals, and an awesome drop that house fans will love. His big room sound, yet distinctive and emotional to the ear, is something unique in the EDM world.
Whenever you lose faith in the progressive house scene, you need to just look towards Prydz for that new beauty. His latest single, "Liberate," has a brilliant sentiment to it: it's emotional, it has a throwback '80s flair to it, but it still works in today's scene. It's bigger than "big drops" or whatever you're looking for, but the emo ravers in the crowd who might shed a tear can get close to this one, trust. We figure you'll be rewinding this one for a bit... soak it all in.
The track comes to life through an underwater video, which spends much of its predominantly time submerged beneath the water as two friends frolic and swim underwater along Jervis Bay on Australia's east coast (where Prydz toured for the first time this year), and the track itself from Prydz has summer hit written all over it. It's guaranteed to make you yearn for a summer vacation. Fans who witnessed Prydz's set at Ultra Music Festival in March will remember the galvanizing effect of "Liberate," and it's been a feature of his sets ever since.

INNA soaks up the sun at the beach in 'Cola Song'

INNA, Romanian Queen Of Pop, is ready to kickstart the summer with brand new sassy summer anthem called "Cola Song," a song for the FIFA World Cup 2014 and its accompanying music video. The 27-year-old Romanian dance diva has been supplying dependably amazing club-rocking cuts ever since her 2008 debut, "Hot." Filmed in Barcelona and Costa Rica, the video is INNA's 'sexiest video yet,' and it shows the Romanian singer flaunting that smokin' hot body of hers as she soaks up the sun at the beach, get wet in a lake and perform sensual choreographies!
INNA has been signed by Atlantic Records and will release the, no doubt, thirst-quenching "Cola Song" as her US major label debut single on Tuesday. The infectious floorfiller was produced by TJR and Axident, co-written by Breyan Isaac and Andrew Frampton, and boasts a verse by popular Colombian reggaeton rapper J Balvin. Gliding across fiesta-friendly, fresh 'n summery pulsations and a Jason Derulo "Talk Dirty"-like horn-heavy breakdown, INNA is hitting us with one of the most captivating and catchy odes to soda pop since - well, Godney's "Soda Pop," and Lana's "Cola," of course.
After all, the 27-year-old club princess was the first European female artist to rack up one billion individual YouTube views - thanks to sexy videos like "Amazing" and "Hot." The latter dance anthem made INNA an international star in 2008. It also topped Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart here and won her a loyal following in Latin America. She now pays tribute to those fans by naming her upcoming fourth studio album, "Latinna" (stylized as 'latINNA') scheduled for release later this year via Warner Music and Blanco y Negro Music.
The music video was directed by John Perez and it is quite important for showcasing INNA's ferocious moves and luscious assets, including her Coca Cola shape - and especially her Coca Cola shake. About the video, INNA said: "I feel that 'Cola Song' is one of my sexiest videos. It makes me feel good about myself, full of energy, ready for a long and beautiful summer. I hope all my Club Rockers will enjoy watching it - I know they will dance and have a good time listening to it." Watch the diva wax lyrical about her music after the jump.

Calvin Harris embarks on a "Summer" drag race

Calvin Harris has been teasing fans all week on Twitter with the promise of new material, and Scottish DJ and producer has finally unveiled the stunning visuals for his brand new single "Summer," the lead single from Harris' upcoming fourth studio album and the follow up to the record-breaking successful "18 Months." Set in a desert where Harris embarks on a gripping dramatic drag race with "Fast & Furious" star Jason Statham in the glamorous clip, which also sees a bevy of model beauties strutting around in skimpy clothing.
The party-ready dance-pop song finds Harris perform vocal duties as he singing about the euphoria of a summertime romance. The exuberant club-stomper marked the Scottish DJ's first time on the microphone since "18 Months"' second single, "Feel So Close." The song was played for the first time on UK's Capital Radio on March 14. peaking to Capital about his new music at the BRIT Awards last month, Harris said he was planning on releasing a series of singles first and had to convince a big name star about a possible collaboration.
The video starts with an ariel view of a long stretch of road, before showing the 30-year-old Scottish hitmaker hits the dessert in a relaxed pair of jeans and a white T-shirt singing "Summer" while walking on the desert road. Sporting designer stubble and side-parting, he looks every inch the understated urban pop star. Meanwhile, a lingerie-clad model watches him from a balcony before seductively reclining on a bed in what is one of Harris' more sensual videos.
Shortly after, Statham can be seen driving intensely down the road in a direct competition with Harris. With a determined look on his face, the character is reminiscent of his many other film roles, which sees him play a rough-around-the-edges bad guy. Fortunately, the battle doesn't last long, as the drag race is soon replaced by a late-night epic pool party, which sees bottles of champagne explode and a delighted Harris celebrate amongst plenty of bottle-popping and party-goers. Visually energetic, the clip is a perfect match for the new single which is eagerly anticipated.

The Saturdays are about "Not Giving Up" on love

English-Irish girl group The Saturdays strike back and dance around in black PVC outfits with huge glow sticks in racy video for new track "Not Giving Up" and, inspired by Darth Vader, it involves lots of Lightsaber-esque batons. The Pop quad have stretched the campaign for their latest album "Living For The Weekend" all the way out, serving up first single "What About Us" in 2012, and today the video for new release "Not Giving Up," a dynamo dance-floor jam, serves as the fifth cut to be lifted from "Living" and the first since band-member Frankie Sandford gave birth.
"Not Giving Up" is amazing for a variety of reasons: For one thing, it's about not giving up on love. Persistence is inspiring! But then, the actual song's fantastic too. Actually, it's stupid good. The uptempo club-pop stormer is utterly relentless and very much 'The Saturdays,' powering through the speakers much in the same way as "All Fired Up," the best single on Irish beauty's last album "On Your Radar," as well as "White Lies" and "Get Ready, Get Set," the best non-singles on their last album.
The pre-chorus build is a major earworm of a melody, the chorus was clearly divined by dance-pop angels from above and the post-chorus is a quick talking, tongue-tying moment of serious pop pleasure. It's made for some serious shufflin' the club. Once again, in true The Saturdays fashion, there's next to nothing actually happening here. However, as any a seasoned follower of the group with agree, they're best when playing it simple. The band's label Fascination recently confirmed that a "radio remix" version of the song will be released as the single, while the EP contains three remixes and new B-side "Bigger."
The "What About Us" hitmakers clearly decided to go down the same route and strutting a string of risque moves when they created the clip for new single "Not Giving Up." The simplistic yet sexy video sees the fivesome - Una Healy, Mollie King, Frankie Sandford, Rochelle Humes and Vanessa White - are each seen working their magic with lightsaber-esque tubes and dressed all in black racy tight leather PVC outfits as they pull out a range of various dance moves in a dimly-lit room while belting out the song and performing sexy dance routines with huge glow sticks.

Katy B belts heart out in "Crying For No Reason"

Katy B is engulfed in her own personal light show in the music video for her new electro-ballad, "Crying For No Reason," which will serve as the second cut comes from British dance-pop purveyor's upcoming sophomore album, "Little Red," scheduled for release on February 3. The red-haired U.K. alt-dance pop diva has consistently slayed us with tunes such as "What Love Is Made Of," "Aaliyah," and "I Like You." Now, praise everything, Katy B's back with a new video and she's brought her own personal light show with her!
Speaking about new album recently, the star revealed: "That first album had a certain innocence about it. I think this album has a bit more experience. My relationships have got more serious, I've moved out of my parents' house, I'm dealing with issues on my own. My friends are all going through that transition as well - those questions you ask of yourself as an adult. This is real life." She added: "There are still going to be lots of songs about me and my little adventures around London, but then at the same time I've had experiences in love and life that have been about this period of my life."
"Crying For No Reason" is a big electronic ballad, where she croons about trying in vain to get over the ending of a relationship. The singer told Q magazine that she found it was an emotional experience laying the break up anthem down in the studio. "When we recorded that vocal, halfway through I started crying. I ran out the room," she recalled. "Five minutes later I came back and asked, 'Did you get that?'" The track features Katy B's buttery R&B pipes laced with some poignant Adele balladry and infused with a little forward-thinking electro-pop à la Robyn.
The emotional ballad is the twinkling, strobing heartbreak-anthem, and the video is beautiful and stark, perfectly pairing with Katy B's titanic performance and the track's dramatic swell of pop histrionics replete with huge glacial synths. In Sophie Miller-directed video, Katy B boldly stands alone on a platform and belts the song out before a dark, sleek, arena-like stage set while an epic extravaganza of light slowly erupts all around her. As the song builds from simple ballad to mid-tempo dance banger, the luminous beams slowly become more extravagant and everything feels right in the world. Simple and effective!

Avicii honors sibling bond in "Hey Brother"

Following the breakout success of "Wake Me Up" single, the Swedish producer Avicii has released a heartstring-pulling and touching tribute to the troops video for his latest single, "Hey Brother," which features uncredited vocals from American bluegrass singer Dan Tyminski, is the third single from Avicii's debut studio album, "True." Avicii's success this year has been well documented, from the young Swede being deemed a "global marketing machine," in part due to high-profile endorsements from the likes of Ralph Lauren, Sony and Macy's.
Inspired by music from the 2000 movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" "Hey Brother" has the traditional Avicii feel and is not afraid to cross into a variety of musical genres. Avicii is gaining something a reputation for churning out epic videos, so the stakes are high for worldwide smash “Hey Brother”. Happily, it looks like Swede has struck gold again. At least if the patriotic military-themed preview is any indication. The "Hey Brother" video takes on a passionate and patriotic theme, and expresses a lot of emotional aspects and themes by being simple and focusing on the main character.
In order to create a genuine all-American scene in the video, director Jesse Sternbaum shot the clip in Bakersfield, California, with producers holding a casting call there back in November in order to populate the scenes with authenticity. Avicii's "Hey Brother" Video tells the beautiful story between two siblings described in the the lyrics and will tug on your heartstrings. It could be the Swedish DJ's most audacious clip yet. Unlike his blockbuster "Wake Me Up" and "You Make Me" visuals, this new effort has a strong narrative - showing the impact of war on a pair of siblings.
The mini movie follows a heartfelt narrative that juxtaposes images from the life of two young country brothers growing up in an American small town with nostalgic scenes in idyllic middle America catching fireflies and going camping, barbecues and sleepovers together. When the scene flashes forward, the older brother is sent to war, from which he does not return. The younger brother is then seen carrying a folded American flag to his brother's grave as he receives a military funeral. Their family tragedy packs an emotional punch and it's great to see Avicii make an unexpected last minute cameo.

Paris Hilton parties with Lil Wayne in 'Good time'

Summer's not quite over yet, because Paris Hilton has just invited you to her EDM-heavy pool party. The 32-year-old hotel heiress, queen of the nightclub circuit and recent Cash Money signee, makes her return to the music world with the release of her new single "Good Time," featuring her Cash Money label-mate Lil Wayne and produced by DJ Afrojack. The song's an EDM-pulsing rave riot, with the video finding Hilton donning a sequenced bathing suit, partying with super soakers and posing with male models in speedos. And she's quite unapologetic about it all.
"Good Time" is expected to serve as the lead single to appear on Hilton's upcoming, untitled sophomore studio album, due in early 2014 and marks Hilton's return to music after a seven-year hiatus. The new set, Hilton described as "very eclectic" and also heavily produced by Afrojack, features collaborations with RedOne, Snoop Dogg and Flo Rida. "I'm working with so many talented and awesome people for my album and can't wait to share more of the music," Hilton tells Rolling Stone. "For me this song is so catchy and fun the way it moves from pop to a true dance number."
As Hilton's Cash Money debut, the track has the hotel heiress celebrating a night out, is entirely electronic, with amped-up synths, hand claps and plenty of Auto Tune, and abides by party rocking, flipping off the haters and, of course, having a good time. "I came here just to party/Don't you hate on me," Hilton sings in the sugary hook. "I might be a bit tipsy/It's OK cause you're with me." Wayne, bare chested and donning oversized red sunglasses, makes a grand Weezy-like entrance, with a long guest verse that boasts: "YMCMB, bitch/Paris doesn't speak French."
The smoldering video for song was directed by Hannah Lux Davis, and shot in Los Angeles back in July 23. It features Hilton flaunting her figure and gyrating poolside, fist-pumps some glowsticks and poses luxuriously, in a barely-there bikini and cooing suggestively over a juiced-up dance and turnt-up beats as she throws an epic pool-party bash, complete with glow sticks, bottles and a 10-foot-tall robot, otherwise known as Kryoman. "The video is so sexy and so much fun, I really wanted it to be colorful and full of life and my friend Kryoman flew out to be in it and he just makes the video so much fun like spraying all the CO2 canisters," Hilton recently told MTV News.

Madonna sizzling live performance of "Vogue"

Madonna has released a sizzling live performance of "Vogue" from her recent 'MDNA World Tour,' and to get us whipped into a frenzy, the Material Matriarch let slip this performance of "Vogue" from the show. The footage was unveiled ahead of her 'MDNA Tour' DVD, which is out tomorrow, September 10th. The show was originally aired on US network EPIX in June this year. While album sales were tepid, MDNA was the most successful tour of 2012 and helped make the 55-year-old 'Like a Virgin' hitmaker the highest-paid celebrity of the year.
"Vogue," the lead single from Madonna's Dick Tracy-inspired 1990 soundtrack album, "I'm Breathless," was arguably one of her crowning artistic achievements (both song-wise and video-wise), one of the biggest all-time house music hits (spending three weeks atop the U.S. pop charts), and her second proper U.S. maxi-single release. It became the world's best-selling single of 1990, selling over six million copies. The Queen of Pop was inspired by vogue dancers and choreographers Jose and Luis Xtravaganza from the Harlem "House Ball" community, the origin of the dance Vogue, and they introduced "Vogueing" to her at the New York City club "Sound Factory."
"Vogue" is an upbeat dance-pop and house song. Noted to contain influences of deep house, it is a contemporary track which followed the trends of dance music in the 1990s; nevertheless, it has strong influences of 70s disco within its composition. Lyrically, the song is about enjoying oneself on the dance floor no matter who one is, and it contains a theme of escapism. Later on, the song has a rap/spoken section, in which Madonna names numerous "golden era" Hollywood celebrities. This new video, the first glimpse is all the proof you'll ever need that Her Madgesty's still reigns supreme!
The brand new remix video for Madonna's "Vogue" featuring incredible outtakes and sequences that have remained hidden from the public for the last 21 years. The original clip, which was directed by longtime Madonna collaborator David Fincher before he went on to make Hollywood blockbusters, was released in 1990 in support of the singer's "I'm Breathless" album. The new video, set to what is called the "World of Color" remix and features outtakes and extra footage not shown in the original including a playful Madonna wore a reinvented cone bra designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier, chewing on her hair piece, getting her makeup touched up, and breaking into fits of laughter in between takes. Madonna is still in vogue!

Lune Wants To "Leave the World Behind"

Swedish singer Lune unveiled the music video for her haunting reinterpretation of Swedish House Mafia's 2009 hit song, "Leave The World Behind," starring Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso. In addition to featuring Lune in the updated version, Volvo Cars will also have a starring role in the music video, as the automobile company uses "Leave the World Behind" as the theme for their upcoming advertising campaign for the new Volvo XC60.
Lune is a music project fronted by Linnéa Martinsson, who has collaborated with various electronic acts. Rooted in the dance and performance world she started young, writing simple songs with two chords and simple, direct lyrics about art, fighting, sport, love and sex. "Leave the World Behind," features her moving, soulful rendition of  the trio's earlier hit. This one, opposite to the original, is totally stripped down to one of the most moving pieces of music you were to hear.
"Lune is not a regular house act but when I heard it I immediately knew that it was a project that I wanted to get involved in” says Ingrosso, “It’s a project that one shouldn't try to influence too much - it really has it's own unique qualities that shouldn’t be tampered with“," he continues. So very deep and so very pensive, it's lyrics make you want to let go of a fast paced, stressful life and move on to an easier, calmer and more remote one, just like the trio in the video. The video does what Lune's facebook page had been proclaiming over the last few days. Delivering the sound from the Balearic Isles to the Norwegian fjords is a feat Lune achieves perfectly.
The highly teased and anticipated new video compliments the entire mood of the song perfectly and we see a glimpse at a simpler life, away from the bright lights and booming bass. Directed by Adam Berg, it’s beautifully made on ideal locations and trio's home ground in Scandinavia, and its setting theme seems to imply that boys from Swedish House Mafia quite literally left the world behind and returned to their roots and a simpler life. The cinematography is absolutely touching as each and every frame helps you picturise the exact emotion of with which this version was created. The end is even more haunting with Ingrosso playing a beautiful yet eerie tune on an old grand piano and Axwell clanking his metal cup while sailing on a boat. The huge house classic fits the chilling yet serene video. Take a look at it yourself, it'll definitely make you want to leave the world behind you.

Iggy Azalea soaks up the culture with "Bounce"

From Australia to India. Iggy Azalea goes global in the Bollywood-themed energetic video for her electro-pop party song, "Bounce," the second European single from the model-turned-rapper's upcoming debut album, "The New Classic", due later this summer. The Aussie rapstress adds her own little twist to some of the traditional dance rituals and partakes in a few local festivities and soaks up the culture in the colorful clip. Taking her talents down to India, Azalea adds her own little twist to some of the traditional dance rituals and partakes in a few local festivities.
Azalea's new banger "Bounce," bounces right into cultural appropriation territory. Instead of her simmering hip-hop tracks, Azalea gets a bit dance-y, with big breakdowns and super fast rapping, demonstrating she's aiming not just for rap fans, but for the late-night crowd, too. Azalea may very well have a smash on her hands with this, and she pairs the fiery raps for which she gained popularity with a club-friendly house beat that's the most commercial thing we've heard from her to date. If you didn't want to bounce before, you'll be dying to bounce right out of your seat after you see her new video!
The video shoot was a dream come true for the 22-year-old, who recently inked a deal with Island Def Jam. While being interviewed about the video shoot, Azalea called the experience one of the highlights of her career. "Shooting 'Bounce' in India was surreal, it's just so crazy to dream something so big and actually see it happen." She continued, "We just took this elephant and thugged it down the street, and it was insane." Azalea hopes the video will inspire others. "I think record labels need to reinvest in doing stuff like that," She continued. "It helps create the fantasy and the bigness of an artist. This video definitely perpetuates escapism."
Set in Mumbai, India, the BRTHR-directed Bollywood-esque piece video's vibrant visuals bring the already bright and colorful tune to life in ways only she can, complete with traditional Indian saris and elephants! Azalea reinterprets traditional dance routines and brought her fiercest Bollywood moves to show us all what she's working with as Azalea spitfire rides an IRL elephant and bounces her way down the busy streets of India through this party-perfect upbeat bouncy swagger. Not the one to shy away from provocative imagery, the clip shows Azalea cavorting amidst a festival of colors with interludes of psychedelic imagery throughout.

David Guetta, Ne-Yo and Akon are "Play Hard"

After multiple previews, David Guetta finally unleashed the official visuals for his old co-horts Akon and Ne-Yo-assisted new dance track, "Play Hard," the third single from the re-release of 45-year-old French DJ and record producer's fifth studio album, "Nothing but the Beat 2.0," out now on iTunes. The wacky and tacky video, on the other hand, alternates between inexplicable weirdness and poking fun at racial stereotypes — once some people might find offensive!
The chorus melody of the song, "Play Hard," for a soon to be summer club classic is all about working and playing hard, heavily incorporates the classic sample from Alice Deejay and DJ Jurgen's 1999 Eurodance hit "Better Off Alone." The iconic beat track's message is simple: First you work hard, then you play hard, and after that you start all over again - it's the circle of life!
With an arsenal of cataloged wildin out, club tunes it should come as no surprise that French producer has opted to "Play Hard" on his latest fresh dance tune. Joining Guetta on his electro-heavy jam are hitmakers - American R&B singer-songwriter Ne-Yo and American-Senegalese singer/rapper Akon, who both provide the vocal backing for the record, which also takes advantage of a few audio techniques. Both artists also previously collaborated with Guetta on tracks from his "One Love" album - Ne-Yo on "Choose" and Akon on "Sexy Chick." Guetta also produced Akon's 2010 single "Angel."
Pop and Latin American culture meet in Guetta's latest visual ride. The French DJ/producer gets a taste of life in Mexico as he takes a trip down south with Ne-Yo and Akon. The fun-filled clip includes from rodeo's to Ne-Yo eating pancakes to Guetta getting his body inked before hitting a classic rodeo show. Instead of bull riding, the three international stars round up to judge a good old dance competition. The clip has just about everything going on in it. However, the barrage of attention-grabbing visuals won't distract you from the infectious beat, which is really all that matters.

Nikki Williams lights up in the dark in "Glowing"

After impact the pop music world, made our screens smolder and set the bar impossibly high with the video for her noirish debut tour-de-force ballad "Kill, F***, Marry," with majestic vocals, a brilliant lyrical conceit and a haunting, lushly shot clip to boot, the newcomer South African-born and Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Nikki Williams is now set to turn up the heat even higher her next forceful pop offering, "Glowing." The uptempo dance track is equally impressive, even if it's a departure from the sound of her debut.
But the 24-year-old chanteuse isn't just a one-trick pony. Williams was supremely angry, girl-power, angst, but she sings spine-tinglingly impressive, and she's a lover. As a young teenager in Nashville with two older sisters who were allowed to go out clubbing when she was not, Williams would blast System of a Down in her bedroom and lament the outcomes of arguments with her parents. A decade later, she is now channeling that profanity into unusual pop confections. Her next single, "Glowing," is a sterling slice of house-inspired dance-pop with a soaring belter of a chorus and a pummeling beat.
Driven by a high-energy, synth-laden, the uplifting dance-pop track "Glowing" unearths another side of Williams's vocals - the side that's fully capable of commanding a large-scale pop record with her raving it up literally and a synth riff that's reminiscent of the tormented noir-pop of Lana Del Rey with a little bit of Kelly Clarkson's rage with a throbbing backbeat. As the euphoric song's thumping bass line drives it forward, Williams roars on the massive chorus and confesses that she's got it bad for a dude, and he's the only one who can give her what she wants: "A million hearts, you're the only one/Who lights me up, like I'm glowing in the dark."
The Miami-set "Glowing" clip was directed by legendary music video auteur Hype Williams, and features a healthy smattering of dancing, neon colors and unhinged sing-alongs. It follows Williams and her crew on a RV road trip through the party-crowded streets of Miami for a night of heavy partying at a local fair and club, and there's a lot of throwing your hands up in the air sometimes and appearing generally ebullient. The clip certainly fits the mood of the song, and she's singing, dancing, flashing her beautiful smile and having a good time.

Avicii vs. Nicky Romero I "I Could Be The One"

Swedish and Dutch sensations, Avicii and Nicky Romero have been two musicians that have glamored the masses and taken dance music by storm. The duo have teamed up yet again to bring us a incredible hilarious music video for their hot new remixed track, "I Could Be The One (original as 'Nicktim')." The duo have decided to take that record to the next level by adding a beautiful vocal from Swedish pop singer Noonie Bao over the already stunning house beat.
Dance music isn't always for everyone, but everyone can relate to getting frustrated. Pairing Avicii's infectious melodic talents with Romero's big, high-energy sound, the result is a electro/progressive house anthem from two of EDM’s fastest rising stars. This is one video that I can honestly give a raving review. And if you cannot afford to let loose, enjoy watching this vivacious character live life to the fullest and laugh. The clip is epic to say the least and the ending is brilliant! It makes the song utterly relatable and downright amusing.
"What are we doing with our lives?" In life, sometimes you just have to break out of the every day and do something fun. The featured character is an average female who has her standard job, her standard routine, and her standard irritations with life. She puts up with the stress and hum-drum of life. She's dejected and uninspired, making adjustments to consistently accommodate the life she clearly isn't happy living. A dream sequence offers her an escape, where she suddenly is surrounded by beautiful men, luxurious getaway locations, and an appreciation for her self-image that she never knew existed. It is this flash of adventure and happiness that prompt her to have higher expectations of her environment, and not care.
Now, it sounds like it could be a decent video, but until you witness the character initially and watch her explode with rage and excitement, you realize her excess lifestyle post-realization is humorous beyond words. She eats what she wants whenever she wants, dates who she wants whenever she wants, and lastly, tells off her co-workers, who certainly did not give her the respect she should have received. I personally appreciated the fact that this dance song was able to have such a profound meaning and elaborate plot line. Suddenly, music that people often find hard to relate to becomes applicable to almost anyone.

Pitbull is living the life in "Don't Stop The Party"

Pitbull has released his highly anticipated vibrant music video for "Don't Stop The Party," the third single from the Latino rapper's upcoming seventh studio album, "Global Warming," in stores on November 19 via RCA. The 31-year-old ferocious Cuban-American rap superstar debuted "Don't Stop the Party" on Dancing with the Stars in September and it's been stuck in our head ever since! So are you ready to party with Pitbull? Lets get loose and "Don't Stop the Party"!
The song features and samples Urales "DJ Buddha" Vargas, house DJ/producer TJR's hit song "Funky Vodka," which itself is based on the 1973 Jamaican Reggae classic "Funky Kingston" by Toots and the Maytals. TJR explained: "'Funky Vodka' is probably the track I'm most proud of. It was pretty cool to see an old school sample-based house tune make it to the overall No.1 spot on Beatport. Producing fulfills my creative side, but DJing is my release."
Pitbull is living the life: Not only does he create good music, tours the world, makes loads of money, and now he gets to film music videos like this new one. The title of Pitbull's latest video basically says it all: Don't Stop the Party! And why should you, really. We have to give props to Pitbull for a minute. At least he is consistent! Because we're not sure if we've ever seen a Pitbull video without a giant rager, a mansion, and and a bevvy of scantily clad ladies. But guess what? We don't blame him one bit, and we have to give it up to him for being such a trendsetter.
Directed by David Rousseau, the clip does evident justice to the song's lyrics that it's a never ending party! Parties in plural actually. Mr Worldwide is livin' la vida loca and throws two celebrations in two different days; first at his Miami mansion and the festivities then continue on his lavish yacht while he makes a splash in the sea. At both events, an ample amount of microscopic lingerie hot girls and fellow TJR are among the attendees. Girls roll around on a bed as Pitbull sits in front of them, rapping about performing for 80,000 people. Good club-oriented single, and good fitting music video.

Enrique Iglesias Sizzles in "Finally Found You"

After being away from the limelight for some time, Enrique Iglesias is making his presence felt on the dance floor once again with another erotic steamy video for his single, "Finally Found You," featuring rapper 'Boston's Boy' Sammy Adams. The up-tempo single is the lead single released from the 36-year-old Latin-America superstar' upcoming 2013 release tenth studio album and second bilingual album, "Reloaded."
"Finally Found You," is a different feel for Iglesias, and it fuses elements from the pop, electronic, house, and hip-hop worlds. Lyrically, it talks about finally finding the girl of his dreams, and sees the Latin crooner asking his object of affection to ignore the advice of her friends and to stick with him till the end. Iglesias's vocals are heavily processed throughout the song. According to Iglesias, the song makes him "feel like a child again."
The clubby track mixes upbeat club scenes, delightful play of lights and heartfelt lyrics with propulsive dance fireworks, and the video similarly juxtaposes Iglesias sadly recalling memories of a childhood sweetheart. As he showed us in the official cover for the single, the new clip is the tale of a lifelong love plays out and shows the "little Iglesias," who remembers his first love, which comes alive in the present.
The sizzling video, directed by Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, and filmed in Los Angeles, starts off adorably enough with an innocent game of hide and seek between a young Iglesias and his sweetheart as it tells the story of a young boy's unrequited love with a girl. Life quickly fast forwards, and once Adams jumps in with his rap, Iglesias strutting into a nightclub where he unexpectedly reunites with his childhood love for a very different and naughty game and turns into in steamy passion-filled clip with make-out scenes of their full-blown now adult fling. The boy grows up and finally found his lost crush and plenty of love-making ensues.
