Rihanna finally releases her first single from her upcoming album "Rated R". "Russian Roulette" was written by Ne-Yo, and is set to be released to mainstream radio on October 21, 2009 at 4:23 PM BST.
I really like this song, but as I said in with Alicia Keys, I really would like to see OneRepublic switch it up. They gained a huge hip-hop following after working with Timbaland on their debut album, so it would only be natural for them to work with more hip-hop artist, right? Lead singer, Ryan Tedder, insists that he doesn't sample himself, but I would beg to differ. All of his music production has such a similar sound. I had to listen to the chorus several times because I swear I can sing the lyrics to Leona Lewis' "Better In Time", also written and produced by Tedder, to the same tune. Funny thing is that I really don't listen to Leona so much lol. Either way, this is the second single from OneRepublic's forthcoming album "Waking Up", due out in stores November 17, 2009.
This is the second single from Queen Latifah's "Persona", released August 25, 2009. Cameos from Jadakiss, Angie Martinez, Paula Patton, Robin Thicke, Common, and the single's producers Cool & Dre.
Alicia is a talented artist, but damn, I really wish she would switch it up sometimes. All these sappy piano songs are killing me. Can we get some attitude or something?
The official video for the first single from Alicia Keys forthcoming album The Element Of Freedom scheduled for release on December 1st.
Well, these are different lol. Another interesting new Vans Sk8 Hi has released in Japan. The high top sneaker comes in brown and black suede with a fringe look and further tribal inspired colorful embroideries on the tongue, as well as thick stitching details on the upper. The sneaker is now available at ABC-Mart. More Images after the jump.
Admiral was established in 1914 as the official outfitter of the British Royal Navy, so it’s only fitting that they visit the Peacoat-as-sneaker concept. Seen earlier this year with a pack of Vans Chukkas, Admiral takes it a step further by accenting the melton wool upper with a full 8-button double-breasted closure. To boot, the brand’s logo is even the insignia of a Navy Admiral. The two colors pictured are now in at ripe.
One of Reebok’s most frequent collaborators, atmos, returns with another project, this time utilizing both the Court Victory Pump and Pump Omni Lite models. Taking on a Velour base, the kicks feature a flashy design scheme with both colors boasting a somewhat tonal arrangement alongside White and Black details. Retail is set at ¥16,800 (Approx. $185 USD) with a release slated for next month via atmos.
Well, its another Ne-Yo song. On this one he sings "go find another girl", which makes me believe it was written for a female artist. My bet is that it'll appear on Rihanna's upcoming album. I'll put five on it lol.
Supra satisfies the more animal friendly amongst us with the introduction of four vegan models for Holiday 2009.

With Reebok celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Pump technology, Crooked Tongues pull the covers off the ultra-high-top “The Pump”. During the days of high-top sneakers and the quest to be the most innovative on the block, this particular model didn’t exactly catapult itself to the top and remain relevant many years after like some of Reebok’s other offerings. But nevertheless it will go down as an iconic and unforgettable piece of footwear design. The Pump20 collection will soon be rolling out as it includes collaborative releases alongside leather jackets.
A new Blazer Mid out of the ACG line has dropped. This version features a black patent upper with an X-ray image of a skeletal foot that is visible as light hits it. Definitely not for everyone or every day, but certainly an interesting Halloween release. In now at Nike 21 Mercer in NYC. Check out more flicks of the Nike Blazer Mid ACG Premium after the jump.
