Sia is disco queen on new track with Giorgio Moroder
Giorgio Moroder may not ring a bell if you ask the youth of today, but this man has definitely earned his stripes in music and especially his genre: disco. The Italian producer who worked with Donna Summer on hits like the ground breaking ‘I Feel Love’, ‘Hot Stuff’ and ‘On The Radio’ had huge successes in the seventies, when disco’s popularity was huge. In 2013, he returned to the public eye with a collaboration on the Daft Punk album Random Access Memories. Now he is totally hot again, or as he himself puts it, ’74 is the new 24′. He just launched his new single ‘Deja Vu’ with vocals by one of the most exciting stars of the moment, Sia!

Has Rihanna lost ‘it’ in R8 campagne?

There was a time where Rihanna released albums like it was no big deal. From 2009 until 2012, every November there was a new Rihanna record in stores and before that she released new material almost every year as well. She stopped this tradition and took time to work on a fresh musical direction. Earlier this year she came back with ‘FourFiveSeconds’, a duet with Kanye West and Paul McCartney and the first single of her R8 project. This week, she launched the second single ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’. The songs are quite different in terms of style and genre, but the thing they have in common is that both are quite disappointing and tuneless.
