NERVO - The Other Boys

Via Pop Crush:

DJ duo NERVO just unveiled their collaborative track “The Other Boys,” which features Kylie Minogue, Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters and Chic legend Nile Rodgers, and it’s the kind of upbeat electronic hit that disco-dreams are made of. “The Other Boys” is an ode to unreciprocated romantic feelings, perhaps one of the most relatable scenarios — not to mention one of the most commonly expressed in song — of all time. But rather than lamenting softly about your sadness, NERVO wants you to scream about the injustice of it all — on the dance floor, preferably.

Giorgio Moroder - Deja Vu (Megamix)

Via Stereogum:

Next month, the Italo-disco genius Giorgio Moroder will release Déjà Vu, his first album in many years, and he’s found an innovative way to tell us how the album will sound. In a new five-minute video, we hear short clips of every track on the album, set to an effects-heavy video of a couple dancing. It’s not an earthshaking music video or anything, but it’s enough to keep your attention while you absorb the music. And that music sounds good, like top-shelf cheesed-out dance-pop.

Giorgio Moroder Releases New Video With Kylie Minogue: Right Here, Right Now

Two weeks ago we got the audio clip, today comes the production video. Lovely pop disco right out of the late 80s.

(The single will have various release dates worldwide including January 30th in the UK.) The single will be featured on Giorgio Moroder’s upcoming album (title still to be announced) – his first solo album in over 30 years, scheduled for a Spring release -which will also feature a superstar line up of other collaborators including Britney Spears, Sia, Charli XCX, Mikky Ekko, Foxes, Matthew Koma and many more.

Giorgio Moroder - 74 Is The New 24

Three-time Academy Award winner and disco legend Giorgio Moroder, 74, today released the first single from his first studio album in 30 years. Via Billboard:

Moroder’s long-awaited forthcoming album will feature collaborations with Britney Spears, Sia, Charli XCX, Kylie Minogue, Mikky Ekko, Foxes, Matthew Koma and others. He has signed a worldwide deal with Sony Music International for the release of the set, which will arrive on RCA Records in the United States. "Sony/RCA constitutes one of the most groundbreaking histories in the world,” Moroder said in a statement. “As my new label, I believe my record will live up to their history, but more importantly, pave the way for the future! Sony from here to eternity." To celebrate the announcement of his new album, 74-year-old Moroder released the first music video from the set, appropriately titled “74 Is the New 24."

Moroder: "Dance music doesn’t care where you live. It doesn’t care who your friends are. It doesn’t care how much money you make. It doesn't care if you are 74 or if you are 24 because... 74 is the new 24!" The single is available today on iTunes and is streaming on Spotify. To me, it seems to be just a shorter version of Giorgio's Theme, which was streamed earlier this year and will also be on the new album.

Kylie Minogue - Crystallize

Idolator reports:

You won’t find Kylie Minogue‘s new song “Crystallize” on her recently-released album Kiss Me Once, but you will see all the names of those who donated to One Note For Cancer at the end of the clip. The track is a tie-in with the cancer charity, and Kylie got fans involved by having them bid on eBay for one of all 4408 notes contained in “Crystallize.” The final three minutes of the video show the generous bidders’ names scrolling by. Minogue worked on “Crystallize” with Dev Hynes and Babydaddy of Scissor Sisters.

NEW YORK CITY: Kylie Minogue Leads Audience Singalong At GLAAD Awards

I'll have tons of photos tomorrow. You can almost hear me singing. Except for the high parts.

Kylie Minogue To Perform At GLAAD Awards, George Takei To Be Honored

Kylie Minogue will perform at the GLAAD Media Awards in New York City on May 3rd.  The main honoree that night will be George Takei.

Takei will receive GLAAD's Vito Russo Award, which is presented to an openly lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equality. Previous Vito Russo honorees include Anderson Cooper, Ricky Martin, Rosie O'Donnell, Alan Cumming, Cynthia Nixon, Nathan Lane, Cherry Jones, Elton John, k.d. lang, and Tom Ford. Over his career, the actor, advocate, social media star and author has remained one of the most outspoken LGBT voices in Hollywood. Since coming out in 2005, he has spoken out on issues including marriage equality, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), so-called "ex-gay therapy" and more. He has worked closely with GLAAD to bring equality to the Boy Scouts and supported GLAAD's Spirit Day campaign to show support for LGBT youth and end anti-LGBT bullying. To Be Takei, a documentary about Takei's life and career, premiered at Sundance in January and is scheduled for a theatrical release this summer.

GLAAD has launched a contest in which the winner will be flown to New York City and seated with Takei at the event.

Kylie Minogue - Into The Blue

A bootlegged version leaked onto YouTube last week but was yanked after a few hours. It's back today on Minogue's official channel.

Kylie Minogue - Into The Blue

Via Idolator:

Kylie Minogue‘s “Into the Blue” has leaked, proof positive that she was perhaps too good at building anticipation for its January 27 release date. Following a hashtag tease, a snapshot from her video shoot, and interviews, her new single popped up hours after Amazon revealed its artwork (above). While launched by piano chords and a wash of strings, “Into the Blue” truly takes off at the seismic hook, where Minogue’s crystalline voice soars over an arena-ready dance breakdown.

UPDATE: Aaand it's been yanked.
