A Very Good Avril Song From Avril. Yep.

What with Tim Burton's incarnation of the much-loved book currently showing in cinemas worldwide, Wonderland is something of a big theme right now. And what better way to get in the mood for teacup-throwing rabbits and a Johnny Depp Mad Hatter with hair more orange than the entire Weasley family combined than an Avril Lavigne track!?

NO WAIT! COME BACK! THIS IS ACTUALLY GOOD!

'Alice', the leading track from the films soundtrack, showcases a much more mature Lavigne than we have been exposed to of late, opening with the perfect creepy distorted synths and then moving on to combine a raw (at first almost a little TOO raw) vocal and a dramatic piano lead chorus which perfectly capture just what the story is about. Well done Avril.

Miss Keys Readies Single Number Four!

According to many sites this week, soul songstress Alicia Keys is reportedly readying the fourth single from her UK number 1 -and genuinely very good- album 'The Element Of Freedom', having only shot the video for third single 'Put It In A Love Song' with Beyonce two weeks ago.

The appearance online of both apparently official cover art and instrumental for sultry, hypen-friendly, Drake penned mid-tempo 'Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)' this week has signified that this will be the album's next single, following on from Beyonce assisted 'Put It In A Love Song'.

PERSONALLY, I adore this track, almost harking back to the 'Diary Of' album which made me fall in love with her in the first place! The lush (and I hate the word lush so you know it's gotta' be good!) production and the genuinely emotional vocal add up to what has to be a smash!

Check out the track below, and the cover art above!
