Music Video Première - Ciara - Gimme Dat

Wow, Ciara's new video for single 'Gimme Dat' premièred just moments ago and look at that girl move! They've screwed the song a bit and it really works with the Melina directed vid. We're hoping Ciara really does well with this track as it's a tune!

Alexis Jordan - Happiness

First off this week we're introducing newcomer Alexis Jordan who releases her first single 'Happiness' next week, a track full of man made trance sounds with a high tech odd-ish video. Can she make any impact though?


The track has a hypnotising rhythm which is extremely easy to listen to, smooth, and maintained constantly throughout which could have damaged the overall song, making it a little dull. However in this case the perpetual  nature of it adds to the vibe of the single, re-enforcing the mellow tones.


The hook is also very melodic and has a Ciara-like quality to it which is highly endearing, whilst keeping its own sound. This is no Ciara cover by any means, although obvious comparisons can and will be made between the pair. The chorus is likeable and innocent, with Jordan skipping through lines such as 'through strength I found love..." etc


As the song progresses, Alexis' voice strengthens and she finds power in her lungs which is quite surprising given the overall feel of the song and the kind of artist many will assume her to be. Belting out some quality notes, the young popstar might actually develop into a little powerhouse with further material.


The track slips into your mind like melting butter and is a pleasant little R'n'B number that is made for finger and foot tapping, and forgiving the strange video, we wish Alexis Jordan well and hope this track finds some success as we get the feeling she could be an extremely versatile performer.


8/10 - Spice!

News Bites - 8pm

So from now on, we'll be updating the site with intermittent articles giving you a quick update on some of the best stories from the world of celebs, tv, film and all that jazz. We'll keep them to bites of five, or else it's not so much of a bite as a big old mouthful. Here's your first taste...

• Twitt-error! Social site Twitter was hacked today due to a loophole in its security system. The spam error caused users who moved their cursor over blacked-out text to automatically 'tweet' or 'retweet' the same message. Some accounts also automatically posted a message in hugely oversized text, resulting in their page and those of their followers becoming unreadable. The Twitter page belonging to the wife of former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, had attempted to direct her one million followers to a "hardcore porn site based in Japan". Thankfully the loophole has now been closed and the now the site's millions of users can tweet away, merry as a lark.

• It has been reported that Australian sweetheart Kylie Minogue once attempted to stop the episode of 'Neighbours,' in which her former character Charlene married Jason Donovan's character Scott, from being repeated. However, Miss Minogue didn't have a strong enough case to keep the episode off the tv, her main issue being that she didn't want to be remembered for just being in a soap...

• Ciara has claimed that her latest album, titled 'Basic Instinct,' will please fans despite its release date being pushed back multiple times. Speaking on radio station 'Hot 93.7,' Ciara claimed that "...the album is combination of fun, party, sexy, confident, bossy, energetic. Everything all in one. I feel like my fans are going to be really happy and are going to be satisfied...that's my goal." We've heard some tracks from the album already here at The Ice, Spice & Vice Files and we have to say, it looks like she could be right.

• Speaking to Sky News whilst promoting their new range of perfumes, the Sugababes have revealed how lucky they feel to still be selling records after a whopping four line-up changes. Heidi Range stated that "If you do the music people love they will buy it" and also announced a new album and a tour for 2011. Who knows who'll be in the band then...

• It looks as though troubled star Amy Winehouse has apologised to producer Mark Ronson via the medium of twitter after she slammed him...also via twitter (Don't these people ever get out?) for claiming too much praise for her 'Back To Black' album. Perhaps she should stop harping on about that album and get some new material recorded...

Stay tuned for more news bites coming your way very soon...
