Destiny's Child Are Back! Well, Sort Of.

After Kelly Rowland released the revealing track 'Dirty Laundry', which drummed up a considerable amount of publicity for Ms.Rowland, the former DC member has recruited her band mates Michelle Williams and Beyonce for her new track 'You've Changed'. Listen below:
 

 

The song was co-written by Kelly and consists of Kelly & co exposing their cheating boyfriends in the song, while showing off their impeccable harmonies and vocal ability. With the buzz surrounding Kelly at the moment, including another X Factor position, will any of this amount to respectable album sales? Kelly's upcoming album 'Talk A Good Game' will be released on June 18th - the same day as Kanye West's 'Yeezus'. Good luck, Kels.

Met Gala 2013. Worst Dressed: Boring Bitches In Ballgowns

What are some of the words that come to mind when you think of punk? Vivienne Westwood? The Clash? Anarchy? These particular guests, however, didn’t get the memo, or simply didn’t give a fuck. With the theme of this year’s MET Gala being Punk: Chaos to Couture, the guests had an opportunity to step outside the box of their typical white tie/ball gown attire and inject some fun into their outfits. Unfortunately, the majority of celebrities dressed exactly the same as they would at any other event.

 

 

Clearly, the 'World's Most Beautiful Woman' thought she was beautiful enough to not get a professional hair and make up job like the rest of the attendees. Well, she probably did, but Gwyneth Paltrow looked rather lacklustre in a fuchsia Valentino gown and slicked back ponytail. 

 

 

Gwyneth’s sidekick made quite the entrance last night. Clearing the rest of the guests off the red carpet to have all the attention to herself, and being the last celebrity to walk gracefully up those MET gala stairs. Oh wait, Madonna was actually last. Nonetheless, Beyoncé had all eyes on her, but that Riccardo Tisci couture dress made me wish we hadn't. From the matching print and boots, satin gloves and Primark-esque belt, this look felt extremely tacky to me.

I’m sure all the fashion snobs' feelings of anger at Kim Kardashian attending the MET gala turned into gleams of happiness as she turned up wearing THIS.
 

 

The custom Riccardo Tisci dress was a head to toe floral nightmare with matching sandals and gloves to boot. I actually don’t think she looks that bad. This is just an obligatory worst dressed for you fashion lovers out there. Thank me later!

 

Kate Upton stated that she didn’t understand what punk was. She could have just Googled it or went on Wikipedia. Worst dressed for her lack of intelligence.

 

 

As the presenter of the event and an attendee of the fucking MET ball, you’d think Hilary Rhoda would make some sort of an effort. Although this look is not a ball gown, this is definitely bad enough to make this post. SO TRAG.

 

 

Going against the grain, Anna Wintour makes SO MAJ’s worst dressed list. Despite being the first lady of fashion and I’m sure a best dressed on many lists, I’m taking a stand and shoving Anna Wintour to the side. How anarchic of me. How punk.

Maj Music Of The Week

Three particular songs have peaked my curiosity this week. Two of them have made me swoon with excitement and an urge to hit repeat, while one has left me in a state of confusion from the moment I pressed play... 

Best new song release of the week: 

Lana Del Rey 'Young & Beautiful'

 

 

 

My interest in the new 3D spectacular that is ‘The Great Gatsby’ has waned considerably, thanks to the constant teasers and overbearing hype which has been shoved in our faces over the past few days. However, with the release of the official theme song for the remake of the Fitzgerald novel, sung by Lana Del Rey, my interested has peaked. Del Rey's mysterious and haunting vocals are accompanied by a triumphant orchestra as she sings melancholically "Will you still love me / When I'm no longer / Young and beautiful?". The song speaks on the love and insecurities explored in the book and is the perfect accompaniment to the Baz Luhrmann remake. I predict LDR will be picking up a particular gold statue next February...


 

Most random song of the week: 

Drake x James Fauntleroy 'Girls Love Beyoncé'
 

 

 

Clearly Drake has been reading content marketing 101 when he came up with the song title 'Girls Love Beyoncé'. I'm sure dozens of Beyoncé fans flocked to Youtube to hear the Canadian rapper drop 'Queen Bey' into his swagged out rap, only to be surprised to hear a smooth R'n'B track with Drake singing flawlessly. Drake, you smart devil, you. Drake sings on the record alongside James Fauntleroy as they sample Destiny's Child's 'Say My Name' and talk about the relationship troubles that all twenty-something millionaire rappers go through when dating 'big booty strippers' with a penchant for being liars and deceitful. I can totally relate, Drake. 

Fav line from the track: "Get money / And fuck these hoes". A firm motto to live by.

Most anticipated song of the week: 

Daft Punk x Pharrell "Get Lucky"
 

If you haven’t heard snippets of this song or seen their new Saint Laurent ads, you’ve clearly been living under a rock. Or don't have internet. The new infectious funk/electronic song from French house duo Daft Punk has finally premiered in full after numerous snippets and the 00:30 second trailer which premiered at Coachella last week. Combining elements of 70s funk and their well-known electronic sound, the addition of Pharrell Williams' light vocals completes the song as he sings, "We're up all night 'til the sub/ We're up all night to get some/ We're up all night for good fun/ We're up all night to get lucky". Daft Punk have definitely evolved since their Discovery days and are living up to the hype surrounding the track. Looks like they have another hit on their hands, and the release of their album on May 21st couldn’t come any faster.
