For a long while, Winehouse had noticeably been fighting an intense battle with hard…
I’m a FlyLo fanatic ever since I dropped upon his instant underground classic debut “1983”. One of the perks you, my friends, get out of this is an instant update whenever Flying Lotus has something out.

A constant innovator, Bjork is pushing the lines between what’s conventional and not in the music business once with the release of her highly anticipated forthcoming x-th album, Biophilia. In the lines of what I scribbled earlier, the Icelandic songbird is planning to release the aforementioned release as a whole big iPad app. To be more exact, an app for each song, centralized by one core app. The apps will impress through interactivity.
