MY MUSIC

New Cool Music Releases from FREEMASONS, DAVID GUETTA, LAROUX
and D SOUND.............;)





“When Love Takes Over” is a song by French DJ David Guetta, featuring main vocals by American singer Kelly Rowland. Recorded and composed by Guetta for his fourth studio album, One Love, the track was released digitally as the album’s lead single on April 21, 2009. This is the exhilarating sound of two top level talents seriously hungry for a US pop breakthrough. Fortunately, it sounds like the pieces have come together and, with justice from the US pop breezes, "When Love Takes Over" will be a major hit. There is almost a nostalgic air wafting through with good beach club house beats and diva vocals.This song will breeze its way into your heart.



Since scoring a 2005 hit with 'Love On My Mind', a disco tune that fused Jackie Moore's 'This Time Baby' with Tina Turner's 'When The Heartache Is Over', Brighton duo Russell Small and James Wiltshire have gone on to become the remixers of choice for Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé and Solange. They might have proved they have the skills to turn midtempo R&B numbers into outright clubland anthems, but it's on their own productions that they really show their raison d'etre.Teaming up with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, a natural pairing that judging by this offering should have happened years earlier, 'Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)' is an irresistible dance-pop stomper of epic proportions. Instantly grabbing you with its throbbing beats and quivering synths.

(LA ROUX)It usually pays to maintain at least a veneer of aloofness when reviewing a pop single, but on this occasion that would be pointless. Everything about 'Bulletproof' is brilliant. The kaleidoscopic video, which manages to look eighties and futuristic at the same time, is brilliant. The cover art, depicting Elly Jackson as a cool, quiff-rocking Bond villain, is brilliant too.And the track itself? Well, it's a bright, bouncy slice of Yazoo-ish electropop with a chorus every bit as immediate as "In For The Kill" . Jackson's vocals are less shrill this time around, but she comes off just as formidable, informing a useless sod who's messed her about that she won't be letting him do it again. (As if he'd dare.) If we had to summarise using a single word, you can guess which one we'd plump for.





D SOUND is back after their huge hit album "My Today"...now with their new single GOOD TOGETHER...with infectious violins and pure elegant cool lyrics from D Sound.....this song will surely hit your heart............................;)

STYLE GENIUS - Narciso Rodriguez

One of my fav STYLE/FASHION Genius Narciso Rodriguez



Narciso Rodriguez III (born 27 January 1961) is an American fashion designer.
He received his formal education at the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York. Following freelance work in New York’s garment industry, he joined Anne Klein as Women’s Design Director under Donna Karan. Later, he moved to Calvin Klein where he worked on the Women’s Collection. In 1997 he launched his own label. His first major attention came when he designed the instantly-famous wedding dress of fellow Calvin Klein employee Carolyn Bessette Kennedy for her wedding to John F. Kennedy, Jr..
In 2005, he became the first American to win the
Council of Fashion Designers of America Womenswear Designer of the Year Award two years in a row. However, by 2006, Rodriguez, who had ended his partnership with his label's manufacturer, Aeffe, was over $1 million in debt to his suppliers, and needed fabric donations for his spring collection. The subsequent collection met with enthusiastic reviews and revived his fortune. His clients include Salma Hayek, Claire Danes, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rachel Weisz, and Sonia Braga.
On May 5, 2007,
Liz Claiborne acquired a 50% interest in the Narciso Rodriguez label.
In 2003, Rodriguez introduced a women's
perfume with Shiseido's Beauté Prestige International division called, "For Her". His men's fragrance, "For Him", launched in July 2007. A new fragrance will launch in early 2009.
On November 4, 2008,
Michelle Obama wore a dress from Narciso Rodriguez's spring 2009 collection when she joined her husband, Barack Obama, appearing for the first time as president-elect of the United States, on the stage at Grant Park in Chicago; it was widely panned by the fashion press and public alike. The dress, originally unveiled at New York City's Fashion Week in September 2008, came from Rodriguez's "stress-relief" design collection.


his works are pure elegance and wit alot of glam................................;)

TREND WATCH - Louis Vuitton Fall 2009

"Remembering The French Muses Of The Late 80's" ;)


Marc Jacobs ended the season at Louis Vuitton in Paris as he began it with his own show in New York: with the eighties. Different city, different accent, though, and this slice of the late eighties—ruffled, ruched, and poufed as it was—looked as if Jacobs had pulled out his 1987 magazines and worked up a playful homage to Christian Lacroix. He didn't quite put it that way backstage, however. Jacobs said that, partly in preparation for the Model as Muse exhibition at the Met and his role as honorary chair of the opening gala, he was thinking of "all those great French muses of the late eighties." Specifically, he cited Marie Seznec (who modeled for Lacroix), Victoire de Castellane (who worked for Chanel), and Inès de la Fressange (who was virtually French fashion mascot in chief at the time).
Looking back on those days of chichi fashion extremes brought out a lot of jeune Parisienne frivolity in the clothes, if not the staging, which was done, pseudo-salon style, without a runway (albeit in a large transparent tent parked, as usual, in a courtyard of the Louvre). The chance of a close inspection revealed lots of puffy peplum jackets, tons of shirring and ruching (in print or leather), bubble skirts, bejeweled satin leggings, and a mini lace Marie Antoinette pannier dress with a saucy sheer balconette. Jacobs' take on big shoulders ran from grosgrain bow-smothered balloon puffs to the widest short coats (in camel or red) on any runway—almost as broad as they were long.
It was also a rich accessory fest for the leather goods company. Leather necklaces and belts came fashioned like paper chains, and thigh boots were topped with ruffles and balanced on pearl and glitter-covered heels. The all-important bags had also acquired eighties pie-crust frills and gilded monograms. If it wasn't quite the fashion tour de force of Vuitton's Spring collection, this penultimate show of an often dour and cautious season read as a welcome interlude of cheerful, flirty confidence in a post-crash depression.
