Misha B Set to Drop New Single, 'Do You Think Of Me' November 4th; Joins Nicki Minaj on Fall Tour 2012

The always sassy & brassy Misha B is BACK with a club ready new single, "Do You Think Of Me," due November 4th (via Relentless Records) and taken from her still untitled debut solo album expected later this year/early next year. The X-Factor starlet, also known as Misha Bryan, released her MNEK-produced, drum & bass-infused debut single, "Home Run" this past July, earning rave reviews and crashing onto the UK Singles Chart just outside of the Top 10, peaking at a still impressive #11.  While Misha B has been silent MUSICALLY speaking, she did announce an opening slot on global superstar (and newly minted American Idol judge) Nicki Minaj's upcoming Fall tour (dates BELOW).  What a way to end the year!

Ones to Watch in 2012: Giulietta

Allow me to introduce you to a new dance diva.  Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Giulietta is absolutely someone to keep an eye on.  This talented young artist became the first un-signed Australian artist to break the Billboard Dance Chart with a set of hotter than fire Dave Audé remixes of her single, "Vertigo."  The single peaked at an impressive #16 on the Billboard Dance Charts, an impressive feat considering Giulietta was virtually unknown in the States.  

Here's a bit more about the Aussie pop diva from her official bio: 

"A native of Melbourne, Australia, Giulietta branched out into into the musical network in the early stage of her career, by enlisting the services of renowned DJ and producer Marcus Knight. Knight was an early musical influence for Giulietta and would help to spawn her early sleeper hit ‘Dirty House Music’ (globally played and launching at number #4 on the BeatPort charts whilst being featured twice on the ARIA Club Charts).

2012: The Year of Madonna

It's the moment you've all been waiting for...the return of M.D.N.A. Yessir, her Royal Highness, Ms. Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone is BACK with a hot new single and she's ready to blow all those other bitches right out of the water!  At the ripe YOUNG age of 53, Madonna proves with her new single why, after all of these years she still has what it takes to play with the new generation of pop starlets.  The Martin Solveig-produced "Give Me All Your Luvin'" is single #1, taken from the icon's forthcoming twelfth studio album, entitled MDNA, due out March 26th through Live Nation/Interscope. If 2011 was the year of Britney, then 2012 is surely the year of Madonna. Get ready kids...

Today's release of "Give Me All Your Luvin'" comes just three days before Madonna's much hyped, highly anticipated Bridgestone Super Bowl halftime performance, at which time it's expected that she'll perform this song as well as a small medley of other hits from her illustrious nearly 30 year career.  You best believe that I'll be "watching" this weekend's game for no other reason than to catch Madonna KILL it during the halftime show. In honor of her upcoming Superbowl performance, Billboard.com compiled some of Madonna's 'Best TV Performances.' Check out that list HERE.

The super-fun video football themed video for "Give Me All Your Luvin'" was directed by French design/directing collaborative MegaForce, the group behind Kid Cudi's "Pursuit Of Happiness," "I Can Talk" by Two Door Cinema Club, and Metronomy's "A Thing For Me" videos.  Joining Madonna in the video are Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., who play two very enthusiastic cheerleaders.  The video starts out with a very clear message:

"Fans can make you famous, a contract can make you rich, the press can make you a superstar, but only luv can make you a player."

Hmm. Sounds like Madonna wrote that bit, doesn't it? Next up we see M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj (looking fabulous in a long black wig with bangs) cheering away on the shoulders of two mysterious masked/wigged cheerleaders.  The masks worn by the rest of the troupe are a little creepy, looking like identical Japanimation characters - big painted green eyes, a virtually non existent little nose and tiny painted pink lips, all wearing identical black wigs with bangs and matching cheer leading outfits with a big "M" on the front.  Enter Madonna, looking fierce and fabulous as ever in a gorgeous khaki trench, pushing a buggy.  Madonna eventually loses the classy trench and, rockin' a sexy long sleeve black leather number, with hotpants and fishnets to complete the look. S-S-S-EXY Mama. How old are you again?
