Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars has been out for several months now and getting played at a radio station near you. The official music video for Just The Way You Are has now been released. The video goes slightly retro with a cassette tape. (Anyone still has one of these?) Cool drawings with the magnetic tape in the cassette are done throughout the video. It’s a slick blend of stop motion and animation. Keep your eyes on that magnetic tape throughout the video.

Get “Just The Way You Are” on or amazon.

Lyrics to Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars

Intro
Ahh, Ahh, Ahh, Ahh

Verse 1
Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they’re not shining
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She’s so beautiful, and I tell her everyday
Yea, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won’t believe me
And it’s so, it’s so sad to think that she don’t see what I see
But every time she asks me, do I look okay, I say

Chorus
When I see your face, there is not a thing that I would change
Cause you’re amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you’re amazing, just the way you are, hey

Verse 2
Her lips, her lips I could kiss them all day if she’d let me
Her laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it’s so sexy
She’s so beautiful, and I tell her everyday
Oh, you know, you know, you know I’d never ask you to change
If perfect’s what you’re searching for then just stay the same
So don’t even bother asking if you look okay, you know I’ll say

Chorus
When I see your face, there is not a thing that I would change
Cause you’re amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you’re amazing, just the way you are

Breakdown
The way you are, the way you are
Girl you’re amazing, just the way you are
When I see your face there’s not a thing I would change
Cause you’re amazing just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you’re amazing, just the way you are, yea

Comedian and singer Charlyne Yi does her best impression of Sinéad O’Connor in her remake of the 90’s song “Nothing Compares 2 U.” (Anyone remember that song?) Charlyne shaved her head for the song to give that authentic Sinéad O’Connor look. The video is almost a shot for shot remake. Is a music album in the works for Charlyne Yi? Last month, she released the song “Cannot” playing a duo gender role.

Indie artists Fatgums and Bambu join forces for “Peddlin’ Music”. The track talks about the struggle and hustle independent artists need to do just to peddle their music. From photo copy CD covers to open mic night, these guys do what they need to do to live their passion of making music. The stop motion music video is throwback to the 80’s and 90’s. For those that remember the classic Transformers, the video features both Blaster and Shockwave and a bunch of the cassette transformers. (Remember cassettes?) Also you’ll see action figures for Snoop Dogg, Notorious B.I.G., and Tupac. Fatgums x Bambu bringing back that nostalgic flava. This track is off the “A Peaceful Riot” album.

Get Peddlin’ Music on or Amazon.

Lyrics to 2012 (It Ain’t The End) by Jay Sean x Nicki Minaj

Oh, oh, 2012, oh yeah
It’s alright, oh, it’s alright

You know what they say? Life ain’t always easy
And everyday, we’re survivors
So forget the day, it’s all about tonight
Act a fool and start a riot, a riot be rebel

Bottles poppin’ ’til we can’t stand
We keep it rockin’ till 6 a.m.
New York to London, over to Japan
Turn it up, turn it up, mash it up

We gonna party like, party like it’s the end of the world
We gonna party like, like it’s 2012
You know that it doesn’t matter as long as we got each other
Turn it up, turn it up, mash it up, it ain’t the end of the world, oh

Gonna live like it’s the end of the world
Gonna party like, oh
Turn it up, turn it up, mash it up
It ain’t the end of the world

Similes, metaphors and we pop pills
Sick flow, inundated with the doc bills
Work hard, now we know how to top bills
In the middle of the street doing cartwheels

Lot of them try to do it but it’s not real
Wasn’t a rapper, then I could’ve got a pop deal
White curls in a hot-pink Hot Wheels
Lot of bottles and a lot of fruity cocktails

Uh, days of our lives
You wink it goes by
So we’ll just get it with no Edison
Anything goes, so no time for closed minds

And free my Lil’ Weezy
And let’s just get right
Young Money, Cash Money in the building
Let’s go, the world ends tonight

Have a drink with me and let’s make tonight go down
In history, in history, yeah
Let’s play make believe it’s the last 24 hours
And this whole world is ours eternally, eternally

Hey, bottles poppin’ ’til we can’t stand
We keep it rockin’ till 6 a.m.
New York to London, over to Japan
Turn it up, turn it up, mash it up

We gonna party like, party like it’s the end of the world
We gonna party like, like it’s 2012
You know that it doesn’t matter as long as we got each other
Turn it up, turn it up, mash it up, it ain’t the end of the world, oh

We gonna live like it’s the end of the world
Gonna party like, oh
Turn it up, turn it up, mash it up
It ain’t the end of the world, no

No, I’m not gonna follow
Anything that they say any more
And it’s never too late to start over
So lets start it with here right now

We gonna party like, party like it’s the end of the world
We gonna party like, like it’s 2012
You know that it doesn’t matter as long as we got each other
Turn it up, turn it up, mash it up, it ain’t the end of the world, oh

We gonna live like it’s the end of the world
Gonna party like, oh
Turn it up, turn it up, mash it up
It ain’t the end of the world, the world

Because the world keeps spinnin’
The world keeps spinnin’ around

Ne-Yo’s mini movie continues with his next song off his Libra Scale album entitled “One In A Million”. The quarter Chinese R&B artist sings and dances to win over a woman’s heart. The romantic song describes how she’s one in a million. Ne-Yo continues his Michael Jackson-esque music videos. This track focuses on the love plot line in the mini movie. Be sure to watch the his other music videos Champagne Life and Beautiful Monster

Here’s more about the upcoming album Libra Scale:

Libra Scale, is a monumental concept album that tells the story of the rise of R&B’s first superhero squad, The Gentleman, a trio of garbage men who are granted all that they’ve ever wanted–special powers, money, fame, women– after encountering a mysterious figure. The only catch? The men must use their powers to fight crime in their city and must never ever fall in love. Not a problem until Jerome (Ne-Yo) meets Pretty Sinclair, a vivacious, no-nonsense beauty. He quickly captures her heart. But all goes awry when after a night of passion, Pretty Sinclair contracts a strain of Jerome’s superpowers and suffers an adverse reaction that effectively drives her crazy.

Pre-order Libra Scale by Ne-Yo on Amazon.com. The album officially drops on October 19, 2010.

Lyrics to One In A Million by Ne-Yo

Jet setter
Go getter
Nothing better
Call me Mr. been there done that
Top model chick to your every day hood rat
Less than all but more than a few
But I’ve never met one like you

Been all over the world
Done a little bit of everything
Little bit of everywhere
With a little bit of everyone
All the girls I’ve been with
Things I’ve seen it takes much to impress
But sure enough you go it makes your soul stand up from all the rest

I can be in love
But I just don’t know
Baby one thing is for certain
Whatever you do it’s working
All the girls don’t matter
In your presence can’t do what you do
There’s a million girls around but I don’t see no one but you

Girl you’re so one in a million
You are
Baby you’re the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I’m certain that
There ain’t nothing better
No there ain’t nothing better than this

You’re not a regular girl
You don’t give a damn about your look
Talking about I can’t do it for you
But you can do it for yourself
Even though that ain’t so
Baby cause my dough don’t know how to end
But that independent thing I’m with it
All we do is win baby

I could be in love
But I just don’t know
Baby one thing is for certain
Whatever you do it’s working
All the girls don’t matter
In your presence can’t do what you do
There’s a million girls around but I don’t see no one but you

Baby you’re so one in a million
You are
Baby you’re the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I’m certain that
There ain’t nothing better
No there ain’t nothing better than this
Girl you’re so one in a million
You are
Baby you’re the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I’m certain that
There ain’t nothing better
No there ain’t nothing better than this

Timing girl
Only one in the world
Just one of a kind
She mine

Ooh all that I can think about is what this thing could be
A future baby
Baby you’re one of a kind
That means that you’re the only one for me
Only one for me
Baby (girl) you’re so one in a million
You are
Baby you’re the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I’m certain that
There ain’t nothing better
No there ain’t nothing better than this
Girl you’re so one in a million
You are
Baby you’re the best I ever had
Best I ever had
And I’m certain that
There ain’t nothing better
No there ain’t nothing better than this
