P!NK promised an amazing new single out on July 9th called “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” — how coy of her — and today on her Facebook page she streamed the song on YouTube. And let. me. tell. you. — I just fucking love P!NK. Girl does not dissapoint.

Produced by Greg Kurstin (Ke$ha and Kelly Clarkson) — “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” is amazing. It’s a pop-rock breakup anthem at it’s best. It has equal parts Ke$ha and Clarkson — but at it’s core it’s all P!NK. She’s angry, she’s pissed, she’s drunk (but she’s a mom now — so just drunk on love) and men better watch out.

The song is lousy with quotable lines and curses: shit, shit, shit, fuck, whiskey dick — and I just love it all.

Little Mix, the latest winners of UK X-Factor, have unleashed their first single on the world. “Wings” is pretty much everything it should be. I won’t say it necessarily gets me up and moving — but it is a drive-with-the-windows-down song — which comes at the perfect time with summer fully upon us.

It has drums, hand claps, snappy, sassy lyrics, and the vocals are crisp and fresh. I think the debut single sets Little Mix up for quite the success their first shot out the gate.

What do you think of “Wings”?

Now then — if Bobby Newberry is reading this I want him to not take any offense to the following commentary as it all ends on a very positive note: “Dirrty Up” is very gay. Like — very, very gay.

Not only are there former Pussycat Dolls in the video (including Melody Thornton, or more appropriately ‘She Who Musn’t Sing When In A 5 Mile Radius of Nicole Scherzinger’), but there is a screenshot of Grindr (the gay social networking hookup app) in the beginning (perhaps product placement?) and that gay YouTube black kid.

But also — HELLO lipgloss, Bobby! And dancing, and abs, and gay, gay, gay.

Now — all of those things being said (yes, remember I said don’t be offended) “Dirrty Up” is certainly catchy. It gets me very excited for the summer, low-cut bathing suits, and big sunglasses. In essence — it gets me excited for being gay.

For whatever reason I never really got pulled into X-Factor, but the episodes I did see all left me with the same feeling: if there is someone in this competition with undeniably special talent (aka, “The X-Factor”), it is that little girl. Releasing her first single from her upcoming album and singing it as well as any full-grown woman could, Rachel Crow generously decided to prove just how smart I am.

Um…holy crap, right? We’re all agreed that this is really freaking great? I want someone to piss me off just so I can comb them out of my curls. Volunteers?

Ke$ha has been relatively M.I.A. (not the singer) since her release of “Cannibal” in 2010. A few leaked demos, an ear-splitting collabo with The Flaming Lips (that you will not find on this blog), and the rumblings of a rock inspired follow-up album had Ke$ha fans all over the place with their emotions. Was she done? Was she taking a left turn away from the glittery, trashy pop we all know and loved from her?

Well, Dr. Luke just dropped a snippet of a new Ke$ha song called “Supernatural” — and we can all breathe easy now knowing she is not straying too far from her glitter pop roots. It starts as a futuristic ballad that then drops out into something out of this world amazing.

I’m not going to ruin it. Just listen — and get your eye makeup and whiskey ready. Ke$ha is coming back.
