Jay-Z's New Female Star: Luke Bryan, Rita Ora With Tinie Tempah, and Graffiti6

"R.I.P."    RITA ORA Ft. TINIE TEMPAH

Signed by Jay-Z to Roc Nation, Rita is an Albanian pop/hip hop star on the rise.   She reminds me of Rihanna and I first saw her in Jay-Z's "Young Forever" video.  "R.I.P." has a slamming beat with major hit potential.  The song was written by Drake and shot in London.

"DRUNK ON YOU"    LUKE BRYAN

Luke continues the video story started in "I Just Don't Want This Night To End" with his new video, "Drunk On You".   Luke keeps leaving concert tickets for the girl he met in the first video, you can guess what happens.   Regardless, it's a great song and the video is a beautifully filmed concert performance.

"FREE"      GRAFFITI6

Saw VH1's You Ought To Know Artists of the month this week and got introduced to Graffiti6.  They're a British pop/rock band that have caught a lot of attention.  ITunes made this song their Free Song Of the Week.  The chorus feels like Motown when the lead singer uses his falsetto, great pop song that will stick in your head after a couple of listens.
