Alec Chambers released his first EP last week, and celebrated the occasion with a show at the Bowery Electric in NYC.  His set was electric, as he played an energetic set including songs from the EP and a very solid cover of Ed Sheeran “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You.”  He opened and closed the show with “Bleecker Street,” playing both harmonica and guitar.  Listen to the track below!

The Friday Five: *NSYNC Videos

Leave a comment

It’s tearing up our hearts that an *NSYNC reunion hasn’t happened yet.  But we are never giving up hope.  Especially since the band members are all still friends – Lance revealed on Watch What Happens Live that the guys have a group text and talk almost every day. (!!!!)  Last night, E! aired a special on Lance Bass’ wedding to Michael Turchin.  It was a beautiful ceremony, and a historic moment, and we’re so glad that Lance and Michael shared with us all.  Oh, and how amazing was it seeing Joey and JC?  (Chris was there too but we only caught a brief glimpse of him)  We’re still fangirling over JC’s role as the “wedding singer.”  He hasn’t aged a day (sorry Justin, but he was always our fave), and it reminded us just how much we need to see JC, and the rest of the guys, on stage again.

So while we wait for that reunion tour announcement (seriously, the amount we would be willing to pay for tickets to that tour increases daily), watch our favorite *NSYNC videos and try not to drive yourself crazy wanting them back.

1. “I Drive Myself Crazy”
We used to re-enact this video, which we had recorded on a VHS tape.  So many great moments:  Lance and his flowers.  Justin’s hair.  JC’s eyes (swoon)

2. “Bye Bye Bye”
We voted for this video on TRL EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.   If you claim to not know the “Bye Bye Bye” dance, you are lying.
 

3. “Pop”
All that matters is that you recognize that’s it’s just about RESPECT!
 

4. “It’s Gonna Be Me”
The video that launched the signature “lean and pop” move (now replicated by the one-man boyband Austin Mahone)
 

5. “I Want You Back”
We prefer the European version of the video, which takes place in space, and has the guys in tight tops and baggy waggy pants.
 

BONUS: “U Drive Me Crazy”
Another European video.  Just watch it, we can’t even explain.

Listen to Cody Simpson’s New Song “Flower”

Leave a comment

We’ve been anxiously waiting for new music from Cody Simpson, and it’s finally here!  Cody announced he was going independent last summer in order to make the music he’s wanted to make all along.  We were curious to see just what he meant, especially since he’s made some of our favorite jams over the last couple of years (“Surfboard,” “Got Me Good,” etc)   Cody just released his first track as an independent artist, “Flower.”  It’s definitely a slight departure from some of his previous tracks, but it still has Cody’s signature laid back, beachy pop sound.   Listen below and pickup a copy on iTunes now!

Make sure to tune into GMA this Friday, February 6th, to watch the first live performance of “Flower!”  If you’re in NYC, you can see also Cody perform this weekend at the Forever 21 store opening.  Details below!

Cam Premieres Debut Single “My Mistake”

Leave a comment

Rising country star Cam, whom you might remember from the Where It All Began Tour with Dan + Shay, just released her first official single!  The track, “My Mistake,” is something we all can relate to.  The single is her first since signing a deal with Sony Music Nashville earlier this year. We are looking forward to hearing more from Cam this year – her opening set on the Where It All Began Tour was a blast!  She had the crowd pumped up in no time, with tracks like “Country Ain’t Never Been Pretty,” “Fireball Whiskey,” and “Go Get ‘Em, Cam.”   We love her clever, honest lyrics paired with classic country stylings.

Cam is currently working on her debut album.  Get to know Cam and listen to “My Mistake” below.  Pickup a copy of the single on iTunes now!
