DJ Earworm is BACK at it again for his latest song for 2013, mashing up the supposed best songs of the year. Honestly we cannot help but feel a little disappointed with this effort, it is a little bland and slow...maybe next year...

Britney's sister Jamie Lyn Spears is wasting no time releasing a new single, straight off the back of her duet with sister Britney Spears on her new album #BJ. This country/pop inspired track is a bit of a mixed bag, have a listen below and let us know what you think.

Katy Perry has served the video for her latest single Unconditionally, a complete departure from the Roar sound. Time will tell if the decision to try and become a "serious singer" will pay off. In the meantime check out the video below and let us know your thoughts.

Jessie J is not finding any luck in the charts with her latest album, but it is not stopping her from releasing singles hoping for a hit. Check out the official video to the song "Thunder" below

Katy Perry has released a preview of her new single "Unconditionally" the odd choice as second single from Prism is set to be released in the next week.

UK Songstress Lilly Allen has released the video for her latest single Hard Out Here, it has been a while since we have heard anything from one of our favourite UK songbird, but as always delivers an entertaining and edgy clip with a great song to match.

Check out the video below and let us know your thoughts in the comments below

*Just a warning this interview is quite long!

Lady GaGa hit up the Howard Stern Show in SiriusXM providing one of the most in depth and personal interviews to date. She addresses the situation with Madonna and Perez Hilton, being godmother to Elton John's kids, her new album, her fans and the things she has been through since Born This Way.

Have a listen to this below

Justin Beiber has released his latest single "Bad Day"the pop princess is still riding high off the success of his latest album and has started a Music Mondays project releasing a new song every Monday for the next few weeks. While we have missed the first few here is the latest one Bad Day below.

British girl group Little Mix hit up Radio One for an exclusive live performance of a medley of their new tracks and some old ones as well (Smells Like Teen Spirit) the group sound great together and have finally got the "mix"right (haha!)

Check out the girls performing live below and let us know what you think. Do you rate Little Mix or do you have no idea who they are ?

Country superstar Carrie Underwood delivered an astounding performance at the country music awards last night. Underwood has been a little quiet as of late, but this performance showcases just why she is so good at what she does. Check it out below

Britney Spears has released the second single off her upcoming album #BJ (hehe) and talk about going in the complete direction from previous single "Work Bitch"this track is not for the faint of heart. It has been rumoured to invoke coma like qualities in listeners. It is one of the most boring and lifeless songs I have ever heard.

Check it out below and let us know what you think

As if Katy Perry and Lady Gaga wasn't enough, Britney Spears had to throw her hat into the ring and announce her new single, and boy has she delivered!

The song is called "Work Bitch" and clearly draws inspiration from her last world-wide number 1 hit "Scream & Shout" with Will I Am.

The song is an absolute club banger and has the hint of the british accent she donned in the previous song. It is so great to see Spears mixing things up and bringing out something completely different for herself as an artist and an edgier, darker single for radio.

Check out Work Bitch below and let us know what you think.

Well the punk girl wannabe Avril Lavigne is back with a new video "Here's To Never Growing Up". While Lavigne had some appeal back in the 90's, it is clear that as an artist (and as a person) she hasn't really grown. Her sound is still the same, her style is still the same, and it just seems stale and old.

The video is not much better, horrid make up, trashy outfits and the typical "I make everything fun" the song peaked at number 22 on the charts, showing that Lavigne is no longer the power house she used to be. Struggling in a world of Kesha, Britney and Kelly Clarkson, Lavigne should seriously re-strategise her material and come up with something better,because this is just plain garbage.

JLo has released a new single and guess who she teamed up with again? Yes, that's right Pitbull! For the FOURTH time the two have collaborated with RedOne (really???) and produced a song called Live It Up. It all sounds very formulaic and stupid, but guess what? The song is AMAZING! It is a party anthem and is the closest thing to On The Floor as she is going to get! Check out the song below




 Tamar Braxton is back with the follow up to her number one single Love & War, this time around she is keeping with the old school rnb style and this song kind of misses, while her voice is flawless, the song itself is just a bit boring and plain. Check out the song below and let us know your thoughts

 

 Mariah Carey teamed up with rnb singer Miguel for her new single '#Beautiful' yes the hash tag is included in the song (sigh!) and it is pretty much Carey cashing in on Miguel's unique style and not really letting herself go. The song is snooze worthy, especially if you took Miguel out. Check it out below

 

Hope you all had a great Easter break! I know we sure did, but we are back on board now and lots to catch you up on!

Chris Brown has released his latest single Fine China and the accompanying video, a lot of people give Brown a rap for his personal life but this time around he has actually released a decent single. Check it out below




Nicole Sherzinger helped Andrew Lloyd Webber celebrate 40 years with an epic performance of Don't Cry For Me Argentina. The dazzling live performance showcases just why Nicole is one of the most talented performers around. Check it out below




DJ Havana Brown is still trying to launch her "singing" career and has a new video and song Big Banana, unfortunately not filmed on location in Coffs Harbour the catchy song and video should become a viral hit. Check it out below




Havana Brown - Big Banana from My Obsession on Vimeo.

Remember 90's band S Club 7? Remember that horrible reunion tour they did last year at any venue that would have them? Well one of the bands member Jon is trying to use that to launch a solo career. The song is called My Father's Son. It's an interesting song with a very low budget video. Check it out below and let us know what you think




Big congratulations goes out to Justin Timberlake on snagging a number one album for The 20/20 Experience in USA, UK and Australia! Congratulations! It truly shows that dubstep and following pop trends doesn't guarantee a great album. The album was a few thousand shy of a million copies in the U.S. alone.

Beyonce has been quiet since having miss baby blue, but with the upcoming Mrs Carter World Tour coming up, it was about time that Queen B hit back and demand that you bow down. This is exactly what she does in this extremely commanding and addictive dance track.

It is no secret that I hated "Suit & Tie" with a passion when I first heard it, I thought this was a colossal joke that JT was playing on the music industry, to the point of renaming it "Shit Ass Pie", but after a month of constant playing it finally grew on me and I got it. Next came Mirrors, while I didn't love it, I got it and it got passed into the same pile of hopefully will grow on me. So when the album arrived in my inbox in the early hours of yesterday morning I was extremely skeptical, the pairing of Justin Timberlake and producer Timbaland has always been a magic combination in the past, but could they keep it going especially with such a long break in between albums? The short answer is yes, yes and yes!

Recently we have been complaining about the slew of artists releasing albums that are just complete trash (Ke$ha, Rihanna, Madonna) and that everything is starting to just sound the same in this era of music. Fortunately Justin Timberlake is here to shake the foundations of the currently bland pop music industry and blend some old school with a new twist that sees the 20/20 Experience one of the best albums of the year, and of the last few.

A lot of people will be confused by the tracklisting, there is only 10, I thought possibly I had been given just a demo version or something, but each song is about 10 minutes long and has 2 different styles that run off and compliment each other. This is the pop album I have been waiting for, to come and change the way we listen to music and how things on the charts should be.

Pusher Love Girl is the first track and the 50's jazz style mixes with some heavy Timbaland typical beats that ooze sexuality. This is one of my favourite tracks on the album and is constantly on replay, from here we move into "Suit & Tie" this is a really extended edition with a great breakdown at the end that added a lot to the song and I really enjoyed it. Don't Hold The Wall is definitely the most danciest sounding song on the album, starting out with a drum and bass style beat mixing with JT beatboxing and then moving into a modern rnb "4 Minutes" Madonna sounding song is one of the best produced and performed songs of 2013. StrawBerry Bubblegum is pure pop gold and is a little throwback to his N'Sync days, but still very modern and JT. The next three tracks Tunnel Vision, Spaceship Coupe and That Girl all meld in together seamlessly and really showcase this new sound that Timberlake has going on. Mirrors is the second single from 20/20 and is a beautiful love song and slides in nicely with the final song Blue Ocean Floor.

None of the songs have any auto-tune or dubstep and while this may sound and seem like an extremely risky move, it definitely pays off for Timberlake who has crafted and created his own sound with Timbaland and this will be music to definitely head to the tour for. As well as being beautiful and addictive, this album has the potential to expand new and varied audiences who would normally not listen to pop music.

Overall this album is a game changer, and is THE game changer we have been waiting for. Cleverly crafted pop music stripped back and showcasing just what a talent Justin Timberlake is. The 20/20 Experience is our pop album pick of 2013 and is available in stores next week.

Taylor Swift




Elton John & Ed Sheeran



Alicia Keys & Maroon 5



Bruno Mars, Rihanna and Damian Marley

The Lumineers have released a new video for their latest single Stubborn Love, the folk rock band are making waves in the USA with their self-titled debut album which was released in April, 2012 and we think they are worth a listen. Check out the single and video below



Owl City have scored the official single from upcoming CGI movie Escape From Planet Earth, the band have lended their hit song Shooting Star and recorded a live/CGI video clip. It is pretty cool and we miss a big soundtrack song, so this could possibly be it! Check out the video below



Little Mix sat down with Graham Norton to discuss their latest album and to perform their new single Change Your Life. The group have seen some great success lately in the UK (particularly) and this live set continues to show why they are the next big thing.

Having one of the biggest albums of the year with Believe, the album was heavily laden with production, bass and Nicki Minaj so Bieber did what Bieber did originally (and best) and took the production away and released the songs on the album as acoustic guitar with his vocals, no effects and showing his fans and nay sayers just what a talent he is.

His fans may have matured and fallen in love with the party hard Believe album, but this version of it is so rich and raw it will not only please his current fans but should usher in some new ones as well.

That being said it is not all perfection, the acoustic version of his first single Boyfriend sounds empty and hollow without all the extra bits (whale moans included!) this is definitely something that should have been looked at before slapping it on, but then you take the Nicki Minaj infused Beauty & A Beat surely that wouldn't work as without Nicki and that hot beat? Surprisingly so it does, slowed down and stripped back it serves as a love song with actual lyrics worth hearing.

This is not just a repackaged version of his album, it also features 2 unreleased songs I Would is a bright and colourful pop song that is reminiscent of Chris Brown's earlier work and should serve as a great track on any Valentine's Day playlist. It is a massive break from the sexualized content on Believe and definitely adds to the syrrupy sweet feel to the album.

The second new track Yellow Raincoat is dripping with digs at his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, the melancholy tune is unlike anything we have heard from the Biebs before and is very reminiscent of Justin Timberlake's Cry Me A River.

The best thing about this album in a generation of tall poppy, armchair critics, no-one can say that Bieber cannot sing or is not a talented performer. He many appeal to the 15 year old masses and send them swooning, but there is definite talent there and Believe acoustic only confirms this and while not a completely perfect album, it is definitely worth checking out.

Review by Alaisdair "Arrow" Dewar.

For those who do not know yesterday in America was the highly anticipated Superbowl. As is tradition the half time show was owned, operated and slayed by the out-spoken and incredibly talented Beyonce.

The show saw Queen B deliver some of her best known hits, while doing a little late promo for her last album 4. Perhaps the most exciting thing about the performance was the Destiny's Child reunion that happened when Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined Beyonce on stage for Independent Woman and Single Ladies.

It was truly a sight to see them all back together and happy, if that wasn't enough B announced a 2013 world tour titled Mrs Carter. We have had fresh updates confirming that Mrs Carter will indeed by going everywhere she can, UK, US and Australia have been confirmed at this stage.

Remember Fall Out Boy? They are BACK! With a brand new single and a very unique sound. The song is their first single and features rapper 2 Chainz. The song is called My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up), check it out below



UK singer Hurts has released his latest single, the crooner has penned Miracle as his next single and has already serviced the video. Check it out



Nelly won't stop until he finds a foothold in the current music scene, after the severe flop that was Porsche this time around sees the rapper teaming up with Bizzy Crook and continuing to serve out the flop music. Check out the video/song below

<sup>Their debut self-titled album was released on November 24, 1997 by London records and was certified platinum in the USA, reached #2 on the UK charts and top 5 in Australia, Switzerland, New Zealand, Canada and The Netherlands. 

The debut single Never Ever was one of the biggest songs of 1997 and was a number one hit in the US, UK and Australia and is still one of the most played songs on radio to this day. The gritty and honest break up song was written by the band members and also had one of the most spectacular and memorable videos in pop music history. 

Each track on this album was solid, it was a consistent and memorable piece of pop music history. Bootie Call was dark and sexy and had a gritty black and white music video that complimented the song perfectly. I Know Where It's At one of the party anthems of the album was considered as a first single and would have been a great introduction to the girls but was instead a stand out album track. Heaven, Alone, Take The Key and Trapped took the band in a more urban, hip-hop direction while still retaining their pop slickness. These tracks truly pushed the boundaries of pop music and vocal effects (at the time) and still retain heavy rotation in my music collection today. 

Under The Bridge/Lady Marmalade was released as a double single and saw the band do their first covers and were a commercial and critic success. The videos ran on from each other with Lady Marmalade being a pumping party track and Under The Bridge a soulful and cool swag track that opened the girls up to a whole new audience. These are still two of my favourite videos to this day, the crowded party apartment dancing and going off to Lady Marmalade, to having the apartment rip open its foundations and fall down, and have the girls singing Under The Bridge in the debris mess was inspired. 

When the charity album for the death of Lady Diana in the UK was assembled, All Saints submitted a hauntingly beautiful track War Of Nerves which made the album and was released as a consequent single. The single did not chart too well, but it is definitely worth a listen. The soulful lyrics and sound literally brought me to tears and this is one of the stand out tracks on this album. 

A big issue for me is JAPAN! Why do they get all the good bonus tracks? ? ? Britney, Christina, they all release Japan only tracks and they are usually some of the best!! This was the case with All Saints as well, releasing Let's Get Started (If You Wanna Party) as an official single and accompanying video, this was a song I used to play and hear at parties A LOT and still do to this date. 

A lot of critics have noted that they felt this album lacked personality, but I feel that this album oozes with it, the girls present themselves as a very grainy, serious, down to earth group with depth, which they show through tracks like Take The Key, Trapped, War Of Nerves and Heaven, but they also have a crazy wild side with the party songs Lady Marmalade, Beg, Let's Get Started, I Know Where It's At. 

Overall this album is solid from start to finish, there is rarely a need to skip a song and the combination of Lewis's raspy rapping, Blatt's smooth and sexy vocals and the Appleton's bleating in the background it all comes together and works. This will remain for me one of the best albums in pop music history and the group cemented themselves as my clear and definite favourite of the 90's.

We all love pop music here at Novastream, we have a long history with it and sometimes we do not get to review albums that we really love, especially ones from the past that you may not know even exist! This really concerns us so we had to think of a way to remedy it, and we thought the best way was to create a list, an ULTIMATE, BIBLE if you will pop music and start from A and go right through to Z!

How the hell will this work? Each week we will release an album review from an artist or band starting with that letter and do a full album review and let you know WHY you should add this to your collection.

Additionally if you have any ideas about what should be included or want to submit your own review to us please email it through to novastreamusic@gmail.com and include your full name and the review and we can look at posting it for you!

The reviews will start next week and we are so excited to be bringing you the BIBLE of pop music!

This morning a very cocky and anxious Nick Carter from the boy band Backstreet Boys has confirmed that the group have recorded a new album and was able to perform one of the songs to be featured on the upcoming release.

This is the first time that all five have returned to the band with Kevin Richardson finally giving in to pleas from the group and fans. No first single or album title has been announced yet, but we will keep you updated as this comes to light. For now check out the leaked track below




Pink has confirmed her new single will be titled Just Give Me A Reason and feature Nate Ruess, her latest album The Truth About Love is still high up on the aussie Aria charts, you can check out the song below.
X Factor runner up Carly Rose Sonnenclar is not wasting anytime getting back into music and has released her first single post X Factor. The song is called After Tonight There's Trouble and is a shining example of what a raw and amazing talent this girl really is. A lot of fans disputed that she should have taken out the winner's crown, but as Diamond White constantly reminded us, it usually is the runner's up that make it long term. Check out the song below

Hipster Ellie Goulding is back with a follow up to arguably one of the biggest pop songs of 2012 Anything Can Happen, this time around the tracks is called Explosions and it does a pretty good job of showcasing a different side to Goulding both musically and visually. Check out the video below.




Beyonce is gearing up for a mega album and single launch at this year's Superbowl and has released a little teaser video about what her intro could offer. Check it out below


Robbie Williams has officially released his latest single and video titled Be A Boy, not seeing the huge accolades this time around, Williams has managed to craft out a different sound than the current top 40 trends but still found a way to fit in. I have personally found a lot of his stuff has grown on me, so watch the video below (a few times!) and give it a chance.

Carly Rae Jepsen has confirmed her third single will be Tonight I'm Getting Over You, Jepsen has found it hard to find another hit off her debut album after the roaring success of her debut single Call Me Maybe. Check out the song below



Rocker Bon Jovi released his new video today for his latest single Because We Can, the rock legend is celebrating 30 years in music! Check out the video below

Alicia Keys hit up Jonathan Ross to perform her latest single "Brand New Me" directly from the piano. The song is really beautiful and Keys has recorded a remix of the song for radio.




Will I Am has unnecessarily re-recorded his number one hit Scream & Shout and has enlisted Lil Wayne, Diddy, Flock Flame and Hit-Boy to this urban mix of the song. The rapping is honestly a horrible mess and this song should have just been left alone. Check out the horrible remix below

Wiz Khalifa has finally released the video for Gone featuring Juicy J, the gritty clip compliments the song in every way. Check out the video below



Ester Dean has teamed up with Missy Elliot for her latest single How You Love It the song is taking things back to old school hip hop and feels very like a Keri Hilson song (not a bad thing!) Check out the song and let us know what you think



Ariel Winter or Alex from the television show Modern Family as you may know her is getting into her music. She has recorded a video cover of I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift. Check out the video below

Nicole Scherzinger has released the video for her latest single Boomerang, the song is the first since her USA scrapped album Killer Love (that actually did well in the UK and Australia!) and with a Scream & Shout style video, hopefully this single will push her to the top of the charts and raise her profile.

Check out the audio below and we will post the video as soon as we can




Hot Chelle Rae have released a new single "Hung Up" and the song is amazing. The band have really come into their own recently and this single is a great example of that. Check out the song below

Ashlee Simpson has premiered the video for Bat for A Heart, her latest flop single with home made video that looks like it will be going nowhere fast. Check out the video below

Kelly Rowland keeps churning out the songs desperate for a hit single, unfortunately she keeps releasing flop after flop.

Check it out below

Nicki Minaj hit up Ellen to perform one of her hit songs of The Re-Up titled Freedom, personally it is one of our favourites off the album and is great to see Minaj performing it live. Check it out below




Alexis Jordan is still trying to get another hit song under her belt, this time teaming up with J Cole to perform the song Acid Rain. It is very high energy and has a distinct dubstep sound but oddly this song just doesn't work. Check it out below and let us know what you think



Nicki Minaj also hit up Ellen to talk about her feud with Mariah Carey and what judging American Idol has been like, makes for some interesting viewing! Check it out below

Justin Timberlake disappointed the music world by "coming back" with what is arguably the WORST comeback song possibly ever by any artist.

Alicia Keys announces her Girl On Fire world tour. Check out the official announcement by Miss Keys herself

Destiny's Child are releasing a new album...well sort of...the album titled "Love Songs" features some of their greatest ballads with one new track. The tracks is titled Nuclear and sounds suspiciously like a Solange (Beyonce's little sister) track. Check it out below and let us know your thoughts.




Ke$ha has released the video for her second single off Warrior, the track is titled C'Mon and the video is weird and very Kesha like, which in the world of videos looking similar can only be a good thing. Check out C'Mon below




Justin Timberlake has taken a long break from the music industry, and for good reason. In his own words, what is the point of releasing a song if it's not amazing. Great advice and some people (cough Rihanna) should take heed of this advice. Check out his promo video below

Remember Willow Smith? (Whip My Hair) she is still trying to get a second hit and has released a new song with a completely different sound. The more mature "Sugar & Spice" has been leaked today. Check it out below

Undoubtedly the biggest flop of 2012 was the failed comeback of Nelly Furtado, the once popular and talented singer teamed up with the wrong people for some truly horrid songs (My Hoops, Parking Lot) selling just 66,000 copies we have to ask ourselves why would she release a third single?

Well she has, and like every other song of late it is horrid. Check out the snooze fest below





Leona Lewis is one of our favourites and she never disappoints with a live performance.

One Direction keep delivering the hits with the release of their new video Kiss You, the classic green screen video sees the boys going back to the 50's style of movies and riding on bikes and old cars. Girls everywhere are crooning over this, as for the song it is one direction, it sounds like one direction. Check it out below




X Factor Season 1 contestant Marcus Canty has been doing a lot of hard work with his music lately and if this video is any indication it can only mean good things for the USA X Factor singer. The song and video is pure rnb bliss. Check it out below




Keeping up with the rnb theme that seems to be echoing in this morning's news one of our favourites Brian McKnight is back with a beautiful new song titled Sweeter, the melodic rnb anthem is proof once again of the immense talent that this guy brings to the table. If you have never heard McKnight's amazing voice before make sure you press play below! This is something worth listening to!

90's rap artist Nelly is still trying to be relevant in today's dub-step market and has released a new song called Hey Porsche. Not sure how we feel about this one, it's a little out of place and showcases how much Nelly just should stick to rapping instead of trying to sing. Check it out below and let us know what you think.
