R&B Stylings of The Weeknd & Frank Ocean - "The Birds (Part 1)" vs. "Novacane"

The Witzard Presents... "The Birds (Part 1)" - YouTube [still] video AND download link, compliments of The Weeknd @ XO til we overdose. Much like the previously-leaked Rock-tinged single ("Rolling Stone"), "The Birds" (Part 1)" has an overall mild, Rock-feel to it. Both tracks are seemingly set to be included on The Weeknd's next mixtape, Thursdays... The second installment of "Balloon Trilogy." Expect to see a Summer-time release, with Part 3, Echoes of Silence... to follow in Fall 2011.

Dear Lonny Breaux (2006),

your name is "frank" now... it's a long story. your girlfriend is about to break up with you because of the long distance. it's ok. & that job you're working... well, you're gonna have to work there for another year and some months... & then you're gonna get fired. you're gonna work a couple more jobs after that too. nothing glamorous. kinkos/at&t, if you really want the specifics. but you're never gonna be homeless or starving. don't worry you won't fail and have to move back to new orleans either. you are gonna get your heartbroken though. twice. if it helps, the first one is gonna be worse than the second. contrary to how it feels, it won't kill you. in fact it's gonna help you write an album [Nostalgia, ULTRA]. yea, you finally finished an album. people like it, man! you're actually gonna write and record hundreds of songs. they won't all be good and most [people] won't think you're talented at first, but you're going to master your gifts. you're going to become a lot stronger and wiser... even a little taller. be patient. i mean, you kind of have no choice. and be good to people. i don't wanna spoil too much for you, but... you're on a plane right now to the east coast to work with kanye & jay-z. it's all working out, kid. you made it.

Sincerely,
- Frank Ocean @ OFWG KTA

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
