Rihanna released the video for her fifth single off Talk That Talk earlier today. In this video we see some major dance moves thanks to her choreographer Nadine “Hi-Hatt” Ruffin. In the video we see some “old” Rihanna from her Pon De Replay days executing choreography, which she delivered in the video once you watch.
Before the weekend began JonatanMejia.com had the opportunity attend the first Taste Makers event presented by Live Astro and Get Active at The Morgan in Brooklyn. Unfortunately we were there briefly but from the experience we gained while being there it was definitely a night to remember for the old and young. It was a night where fashion and music had a chance to intertwine and clash.
It seems as if Coldplay is using Rihanna as their marketing tactic as we all await the premiere of Princess of China.
On Saturday, April 21st, Lana Del Rey began the filming the visual for Summertime Sadness. After a couple of days of release of her new video, Carmen, Lana is already making a statement letting fans know that she will be everywhere this Summer.

JonatanMejia.com had the opportunity to attend Music Notes & Dollar Signs (MNDS) artist Felony Fame’s listening party for his debut album, Dirty Laundry, which is also being released under MNDS. The event took place at Daddy’s House Recording Studio here in New York City. Throughout the night Felony catered to his friends, family, close colleagues as well as industry folks to see what the southern gentlemen has cooked up for us.
Madonna made history -yet again- but this time not for a great contribution. MDNA wowed the world showing that the Queen of Pop still owned the throne when topping the charts with 359,000 copies sold. MDNA was sold as well when purchasing tickets to her concert which further pushed the CD to number one during its Billboard debut.
Sadly the reign of terror didn’t last for Madonna when the second week number kicked selling 46,000 records. This was 88% drop making this the second largest drop in Billboard history behind Lady Gaga.
The Weeknd has been stirring a lot of buzz within the last year, it’s about time we get a chance to get up close and personal with the artist. The only thing most people know about The Weeknd is the fact that he from Toronto, Canada.
The artist kicked-off his tour last weekend at The Coachella Music Festival performing for an hour long and will be returning on the 22nd of this month. After the jump are the schedule tour dates.
Sitting in the basement of McDonalds waiting to conduct my interview with Ferris, I did not know what to expect. Once he arrived, the 5’9” Puerto Rican and Trinidadian still remained a mystery to me. It was hard to read the expression behind his medium brown eyes. For the next hour held forth on topics ranging from music into his life. I only had the opportunity to listen to his music about 5 minutes prior to the interview starting. In this day and age he knows that in order for nothing to leak you have to have tight control on everything. His passion for music was obvious. The first thing I noticed was the treble clef tattooed on his right forearm which he proudly flaunts also that was one of the first thing he brought up once we started speaking.
We briefly spoke about his family history. He has bragging rights, but he remained humble. He told me how his father produced Biggie’s “Can’t you see” featuring Total, how his mentor is a Grammy award-winning producer, and how his sister sings. In a family full of music he didn’t even know he was meant to make some of his own. One day he just put a song out for fun on Facebook and from there the rest is history. Music is embedded in his genes.
Like his father, he started out producing tracks and then ventured off into rapping. When you hear of a Brooklyn rapper you automatically think “money, cars, clothes and hoes”; however that isn’t the case with Ferris. He is 100% determined to not to become a cliche. Based on his song Super Bad, he has nothing to worry about. The production sounds like a Lenny Kravitz inspired tune with rock riffs and some hard bass. His metaphors and punch lines just keep knocking each other out for the better as he spits more and more.
Once he sat down he was all business, determined to let me know who he is and where he came from. We planned to meet at Barnes and Noble, but our intellectual plans were thwarted when my phone went out. Fortunately, McDonald’s offered free wi-fi and a quiet space to talk.
I introduce to you Ferris.
Toronto singer-writer The Weeknd performed at this year’s Coachella Music Festival.
The haunting vocalist performed an hour set which included his songs “Crew Love”, “Dirty Diana”, “Wicked Games” and “Glass Table Girls”. This will give enough time for the artist to practice before his tour begins later this year. Watch the full performance after the jump.
