<p>If you haven’t heard this song yet, DO IT NOW! We Run The Night was Havana Brown’s debut song that became a hit in Australia last year which made it to the number 5 spot and was certified triple platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).  Born Angelique Meunier, Havana signed with Island Records in 2008, leading to an album of remixes and tours with huge industry names such as Britney Spears, Rihanna, the Pussycat Dolls, Chris Brown and Enrique Iglesias. Following the success of We Run The Night, Havana Brown signed with US Universal Republic under RedOne (Lady GaGa’s recording label) and mixed with rapper (a pretty unoriginal one, at that) Pitbull and has reached the number one spot in the US Hot Dance Song list. Find out why!</p>

<p>Not often we can listen to indie music that can shine brighter than most songs we listen to. But this song may not be as popular as the rest but hopefully that will change because of its sweet melody, great use of the score soundtrack from the video-game Franchise, &#8220;Mass Effect&#8221;. Indie artist Malukah has made many videos and performed at a few shows, but most of her music is a tribute to what she loves, video games. That is great, especially because she have a great fan base to appreciate her music. In this song alone, she tells the struggle of a fictional character to overcome an impossible task, to never fail. The lyrics may be short, but they&#8217;re strong and her great selection of the game&#8217;s score used for the game makes this song so sweet to listen to.</p>
<p>Mass Effect 3 is out now on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.</p>

<p>With the release of Marley last week and playing in theaters now, let’s look back at one of Marley’s most famous hits, One Love. As a kid I loved this song. It always made me feel good, bringing up my mood up and filling my day with joy and happiness. It is a great way to remember a legend, an icon that expressed his love of music to the whole world and will continue to do so through his legacy. In the film, an interviewer asks him: “How big do you think this music will get?” Bob: “I think it will get bigger and bigger until it reaches the right people.” May his spirit live on. </p>
<p>Bob Marley (February 6th, 1945 – May 11th, 1981)</p>

This song is part of the soundtrack for the movie Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. Christina Perri is known for her slow romantic like music, and this song was no different. It seems to be the perfect song for a wedding which was a main part of the Twilight movie. Perri has a nice voice, it would be interesting to see if she can mix it up a bit and try something different for the future.<br />

Check out this music video from K&#8217;NAAN  and Nelly Furtado as they try to get their message out about loneliness. The video gives insight into the hardships of many troubled teenagers. The trouble usually stems from inner loneliness that they feel. Speaking with ARTISTdirect.com K’NAAN explains how loneliness affects more than just elderly people and despite all the online social mediums loneliness is still very prevalent. Neverthess this a good collaboration between  the Somalian hip-hop artist and the Canadian beauty. I havn’t seen Nelly Furtado since her collaborations with Timbaland, its nice to see her being part of this uplifting track.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This music video has quickly become my favorite of all drake’s videos. It is so funny yet you find yourself wanting to have a cool Bar-Mitzah like that. I want to be lifted in the air yelling ‘Hell Yea’. I do not know how this teenage Degrassi actor has become such a phenomenon seemingly overnight but for some reason we can’t get enough of Drake right now. The worse part is, it seems he has all that it takes to render him useless as a rapper. After all he is a Canadian Jew (no offense to Canadians and Jews ) who was in a teen drama on Nickelodeon.  Now he is arguably one of the biggest rappers alive. He sings , he raps and we have seen him act. There doesn’t seem to be much that Drake can not do.</p>
<p><em>This music video was shot in an actual temple in Miami.</em></p>

<p>Check out this new song from Jason Mraz&#8217;s new album &#8220;Love Is a Four Letter Word&#8221; which is set to be released on May 8th. Titled &#8220;I Won&#8217;t Give Up&#8221;. This single which has peaked at #1 on Itunes takes off exactly from where Mraz left off the last time he performed. His slow , branches swaying in the wind type of  sound flows smoothly out of your speakers on this track. Only significant change seems to be the beard that he is growing. Not sure what that is about but it doesnt make a difference. Jason Mraz will always have thousands enjoying his music no matter what he wears. He was never an artist that focused too much on his appearance as he has always had this laid back demeaner to himself. Hopefully Mraz comes to New York this summer, I would love to hear him perform again.</p>

This is not really the usual type of music I write about, but seeing as they are bringing out a 3D version of one of the greatest films of all time, it seemed like a good time as any to hear Celine Dion&#8217;s angelic voice again. One of the first  James Cameron masterpieces, &#8220;Titanic&#8221; was a global phenomenom, and whereever the movie went so did Celine Dion&#8217;s voice. This song will forever be one of the greatest along with this movie.<br />

<p>Drake and Rihanna collaborate for yet another hit song. The canadian rapper described it as &#8220;very artistic and abstract&#8221; when commenting about the Yoann Lemoine directed video. Drake and Rihanna had a vintage, classy look  in this video as the lighting played along their bodies as the sang to each other. Seems like &#8216;Jimmy&#8217; did it again. Rihanna was almost static in this video as a montage of clips along with drake made up most of the video. This took nothing away from her though as she looked ever so sexy in the two second glimpes we got of her. </p>
