The Worst Albums of 2011.

The year has come to an end, and it is time to reveal my choices for

the BEST and WORST in music of the year.

I'm a believer in giving out the bad news first,

so here's the FIVE worst albums of 2011!

5. Dev's The Night The Sun Came Up

Even though it has yet to be released in the States yet (release date: January 10th,)

mother-to-be DEV's debut album is mediocre at best; there are a few standout tracks

("Kiss My Lips," "Dancing Shoes," and her only top 20 hit "In The Dark",)

but the remaining tracks drag the album down way into the dumps.

4. Lil' Wayne's Tha Carter VI

With almost one million copies sold in the first week of release, you'd think Lil' Wayne's seventh album would have been as good as 2008's Tha Carter III.

Think again.

3. T-Pain's RevolveЯ

After pushing the album back and changing the name numorous

times in two years, T-Pain seemed to have the right game plan...

until releasing the lead single, the gutwrenching, Lily Allen-sampling "5 'o Clock."

The entire album gives me the same feeling.

2. Nickelback's Here And Now

Come on, now. It's Nickleback.

1. Florence + the Machine's Ceremonials

Don't judge me before reading this: I'm a huge Florence Welch fan.

Lungs is on my list of favorite albums of the past ten years.

But Ceremonials... that's a completely different story.

Dev's debut album to drop in September.

Dev, the best newcomer to mainstream since her musical cousin K$,

has been teasing fans with details about her debut album for a while,

but the wait has a deadline. Her solo project,

The Night The Sun Came Up, has a tentative release date of SEPTEMBER 20th,

and will feature a lot of production by her best friends The Cataracs,

but is also working with StarGate and Polow Da Don.

Dev also recently unveiled that she would be featured on a

track for Timbaland's upcoming Shock Value III LP,

which has no official release date yet.

While you count down the days until September 20th,

you can hear Dev's newest single, "In The Dark," HERE.

Dev returns with a new single!

One of the hottest newcomers in the mainstream industry, Dev,

is back with a new single, titled "In The Dark,"

which was produced by her best friends, The Cataracs.

The song will bring a little different flavor to the mainstream,

and it's getting me really excited for her debut album; it's fucking good!

Her first official single for The Night The Sun Came Up,

"Bass Down Low," which is an instant classic,

didn't make much of an impact on the charts,

peaking at #61 in the US, so I'm guessing that this single's success

will decide the album's release date (which is April 19th at the moment.)

Anyway, bow down to Dev, and dance in the dark with her HERE.

NEW ARTIST to Watch: Dev.

Like Colette Carr and Natalia Kills,
up-and-coming singer Dev isn't known to many people.
She's the girl that sings the catchy-as-fuck chorus to Far*East Movement's most recent single,
"Like a G6,"
which recently entered the top 10 on the Hot 100.
Well, Dev has several songs of her own, even though she's not even signed to a label yet.
Her most popular hit, "Booty Bounce," is getting around to a few people.
Including myself.
The song is pretty good, and in the song, she represents a dirtier version of Ke$ha.
The music video premiered last month.
Watch it below!


More songs that are pretty listen-worthy "Just Another Day," and
"2Nite," featuring The Cataracs, who produce most of her music,
and were featured on "Like A G6," as well.
(Look for a post on them soon!)

I really hope for the best for her.
All she needs to blow up is a song by Dr. Luke!
