Video: Somebody To Love by Leighton Meester feat. Robin Thicke
This is the first single from Leighton Meester, who’s best known for playing snobby socialite Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl. It’s an average pop song, but I would have liked to hear her vocals more. Robin Thicke always sounds good, and his contribution definitely elevates the track.
I came across this song recently and really liked it. I’d never heard of Peter Yorn before, and I wasn’t a fan of ScarJo’s previous musical outing, but this was a pleasant surprise. Their voices blend nicely and this song is like a bittersweet slice of summer.
I listened to some more tracks from their Breakup album on Spotify and there are some very nice songs on there. Scarlett’s voice sounds quite processed on Relator, but sounds more natural in some of the other songs.
I like the video too, with its sepia cast and interesting focussing (e.g. I liked the bit when the camera focussed on his beard).
I’ve just heard the news that Michael Jackson has died of a cardiac arrest. I really can’t believe it. He was such an incredible entertainer and musical talent.
His personal life was troubled, but there’s no doubt that for many years he was an inspiration to millions of people around the world.
Rest in Peace
I like the concept of this music video, but I didn’t find it sexy at all. I wouldn’t want to meet the blonde one down a dark alley either…

It’s so cold here at the moment, it’s really not encouraging me to leave the house unless absolutely necessary. It snowed on Monday, my first day back at work after Christmas. On Friday I was silly enough to put on some boots I hadn’t worn in ages, but had to turn back when I started to slide around on the icy roads near home. Even when I wear gloves my hands are still cold, and leaving the house without my scarf is not an option.
I’m cold right now too, so I guess the only thing to do now is jump into bed and keep warm.
