Marcus Mumford is a total babe, right? I’ve been known to throw his last album Sigh No More on my record player, lie down naked on the floor and pretend he’s singing to my taint. Okay, so maybe I’ve never actually done that in real life, […]

Jhené Aiko: “3:16AM”
Jhené Aiko‘s “3:16AM” is the emotionally complex sister track to Cassie‘s lone 2006 hit “Me & U”. A large part of this comparison could be a result of the minimal production by Fisticuffs (who also produced Miguel‘s remarkably sexy “Arch ‘N’ Point”), but it comes […]
Aiden James: “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”
Today would have been Whitney Houston‘s 49th birthday. In honor of the legendary vocalist’s life, openly gay singer-songwriter Aiden James has released a cover of her 1987 pop hit “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)”. Turns out, it’s Aiden’s birthday too. If you’re not […]
The “Real Man” Project: The “Manliest” Musician Poll
Against our better judgment, we decided to include a series of polls as part of The “Real Man” Project. What kind of poll, you ask? Well, it’s simple! We’re asking you, our dearest Manhunt Daily readers, to vote for the “manliest” individual within a given […]
Róisín Murphy: “Simulation”
The sign of a “good” music video is a heightened appreciation for the song within. While some pop fans might argue in favor of flashy choreography, costumes, effects, storyline, humor or viral video potential, those elements generally lead back to one thing—a heightened appreciation for […]
ARTPOP: Lady Gaga’s On To The Next Album
Capitalize it or DIE. Lady Gaga’s Tweeting about her next record. For some people, this will be a tantalizing tease to a major event. For others – “oh no, not already.” Gaga says the album will be called ARTPOP (note the tattoo), and that it […]
Aaliyah & Drake: “Enough Said”
There have been mixed reactions to the news that Drake—he who claims to be “the first person to successfully rap and sing”—will (most likely) be acting as executive producer on a posthumous Aaliyah project. These feelings became even more muddled over the weekend, when the […]
Grizzly Bear: “Yet Again”
Indie-pop quartet Grizzly Bear gave us a taste of their fourth-coming* album Shields back in June, when they splooged their first single “Sleeping Ute” all over the faces of the collective internet. In turn, the collective internet reacted by splooging their praise back into Grizzly […]
Nicki Minaj: “Pound The Alarm”
Alright! Fine! If you insist, I’ll write a belated post about Nicki Minaj‘s “Pound The Alarm”, another mindless club track from the “rapper”/”singer”/wig-enthusiast’s sophomore effort Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. It’s a great song if you’re into the LMFAO-ization of modern radio, fist-pumping like you’re on […]
Miri Ben-Ari: “Dim The Lights”
If you were stranded on a desert island all week and you could only bring one new music video to watch on loop, we’d recommend taking Miri Ben-Ari‘s “Dim The Lights” with you. The incredibly talented hip-hop violinist has tapped into her sense of humor […]
