DISCOVERED : nikki williams - kill fuck marry & glowing
I haven't done a "Discovered" in some time, so I thought I'd bring back the section starting with a new favourite of mine called Nikki Williams. She was a songwriter signed by Island Music Records - but has now been taken on as a fully fledged artist and I believe she's one to watch in 2013! First single 'Kill Fuck Marry''s title may sound like a bad dating show, but give it a spin (especially while watching the Lana Del Rey-esque video) and I bet you'll like it :) Visuals-wise she is a mixed bag, as I said the video to the song is delicious, but this artwork is poor...too much focus on that "yin yang heart" tattoo of hers, methinks... and a backwards letter within a logo is a pet hate of mine...but for real, the song is good enough to ignore those annoyances!!
Second single is set to be the (slightly more) radio friendly song 'Glowing' - again, the artwork lets it down, but give it a spin as I truly believe you'll be hearing more from her in the new year!
NEW LIMITED EDITION ARTWORK : lana del rey - the singles (7" vinyls box set)
'Born To Die : The Paradise Edition' isn't the only LDR news to get excited about this festive season - it has surfaced that the French Music store 'FNAC' will release an exclusive collection of 7" vinyls packaged as 'The Singles' (check out their website here). The artwork isn't as flawless as her other covers, but she is giving me floppy hat realness...so mama still wants it!

NEW PROMO PICS & BACK COVER ARTWORK : keyshia cole - woman to woman
Today saw Keyshia revealing the promo images for her latest release 'Woman To Woman' - which all hold a really interesting twist... Ms. Cole appears to be giving a nod to her four previous albums' artworks, with famed photographer Derek Blanks having her pose alongside herself styled to look like each era. Check them out below!
Here she is rocking the original hood girl look that we all fell in love with - from her debut album 'The Way It Is':
The short black 'do from third album 'A Different Me'...
Key redid her heart-shaped lipstick to capture the look from underrated fourth album 'Calling All Hearts'...
And the short, blonde and curly look from sophomore (and personal favourite) release 'Just Like You' gets pride of place as the album's back cover artwork!
Loving this concept! Originally I had thought the album's title referred to a conversation between two women (especially since the title track from the release features Ashanti) - but these concept photographs make me think she is going for the idea of a woman growing into an even wiser woman. Anyone who has listened to a Keyshia Cole album knows she pours a helluva lot of emotion into it, from her debut to present day, but she is honest about the fact she is always growing and learning.
Really proud of Keyshia for stepping up her concepts, ideas and visuals this era (see: artworks and music videos), as a fan you can really see her artistic growth and it is great to witness her projects matching the quality she holds in her musical talent and ability! Bring on 'Woman To Woman'...
