This was music's coolest night, the atmospshere was incredible, the fashion was good and everyone seemed to be in the groove of it. We spotted lots of super cool tees from ROTFL tees to bold slogan tees. The men stepped it up a notch, we also spotted the colour blocking trend and a mish mosh of patterns, textures and blingy accessories. Let us know which looks you loved and don't forget to follow us on twitter @sideviewmag.
VICTORIA’S VIEW on LUCIEN LAVINSCOUNTS debut music video “DANCE WITH YOU”-featuring MANN It’s sure to make the girls want to dance with him!
For those of you out there that are unfamiliar with Lucien Laviscount, I am here to give you a quick insight. Lucien has appeared on BBC1 drama Waterloo Road, ITV's Coronation Street and appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2011 and has now taken his talents to another level in the music industry by being snapped up by SK Records-founded by British singer-songwriter Simon Webbe and business partners Karan and Preeti Singh.
This is just what the UK needs right now-a fresh, punchy, young, and vibrant R'n'B track. This is definitely reflected by Lucien’s personality and charm. It definitely has a catchy beat that makes you wanna get your swagger on… and party to 6am!
His video features the No.1 US rap artist Mann, but there are also guest appearances in the video from Actors Matt D’Angelo and Geoff Bell, Inside Men star Ashley Walters (aka Asher D from So Solid Crew), the gorgeous Maria Kouka and all of the boys from Blue. Not a bad guest line up for your first music video eh kid!
Lucien said: "After all the hard work that’s gone into this video, I can’t believe it’s now ready for everyone to see. It’s the next part of a really exciting journey... I’m looking forward to people’s reactions.” Well at Side View we are very excited about the song and are looking forward to the Luscious Lucien continuing on his journey. I don’t think he will be a one-minute wonder. This boy has lots more to give so watch this space!

You can pre-order the single ahead of its official release on the 22nd of April 2012 on iTunes: http://bit.ly/zoX26t
Following the release of her debut single “Without you”, which received engaging reviews from the African music industry and one more thereafter, “Sick in Love”, this new single will be a love anthem for years to come. The new single titled ‘Olowo Ori Mi’ which means ‘My Lover’ was produced by Shizzy and Victor 'Spankie Doodle' Oganua (who produced the award winning track 'Kolomental' which was his first debut production in 2008).
Lolo (pronounced: Low-low) is back with a ‘banger’ in 2012!
This time the Afro-pop singer hits us with a funky tune laced with a highlife twist, titled ‘Luv wiv a BB’. Produced by South African-based, J’Adore (Joel Wilson), it promises to be one of Nigeria’s finest exports this year. Slated to hit the airwaves this Valentine season, ‘Luv wiv a BB’ is an interesting follow-up to her singles: ‘No Carry Last’ and ‘Green Kpali (Naija 4 Life) released in 2010 and 2011 respectively.
Lolo still juggles a 9-5 career in PR with a telecoms multinational, while making significant impact in the Nigerian underground music scene. You can catch her weekly live gigs at the Bogobiri Art House in Ikoyi, Lagos City, where she resides.
