This summer we brought you Gym Class Heroes' bangin' new single and video "Stereo Hearts," featuring Maroon 5's Adam Levine. Co-produced by hitmaker Benny Blanco and duo ROBOPOP (Lana Del Rey, CashCash) the original version was like, stuck in our heads for forever so we weren't actually convinced it could get any better. Well, we were wrong -- "Stereo Hearts" just got a makeover courtesy of Canadian singer Anjulie, and we're all about it. The new version still prominently features Adam Levine's vocal on the hook but it intertwines Anjulie's vocals and singy-speaky rhymes, adding a hip-hop flair to the track.

In her creative remake, Anjulie rhymes about her (imaginary?) famous powerhouse BF: "Let me introduce you to my boyfriend/Yeah, I know you heard of him/All over your TV/And the paparazzi murder him." According to Anjulie, while this hot celeb dude could have dated an "A-list, bombshell model chick," he likes her "quick wit." See? Not alllll famous people are into models. Score one for Team Normal.

At the end of the record, the topic switches to Anjulie's budding music career and her dedication to making it big: "To keep on climbing higher/I have to sing even wider.../I've never been more inspired/No I've never been more on fire/Turn my mic on." Clearly, her "newcomer" status doesn't phase Anjulie one bit as it sounds like she's got all the confidence of a pop music veteran. Get it, gurl.

I have a painful friendship crush on Anjulie already. What do you want to hear about first? Her compulsive farting problem? Why she thinks she's really a guy? She only scratches the surface of these little nuggets of oversharing in her "The 5" interview below. Also, I am obsessed with Anjulie because, during an internship at a recording studio, the company fired her for accepting a date -- but more on that later.

First, let's get to Anjulie's video, "Boom," a dark, willowy and almost lurid number -- yet oddly, it's totally pop, and I want it on my party mix NOW. The video -- Anjulie in a tutu, alongside pop-up-book sets -- offers child-like Alice in Wonderland allusions. Damn, this video is almost as good as Anjulie's shoulder pads and deadpan farting stories. (I'm still pinning down the biological connection between singing and farting, by the way.)

Anyway, Anjulie grew up in Canada, and she's half Guyanese (like Leona Lewis, FYI). You may also have heard two of Anjulie's unreleased singles on The Hills and The City; although her musical stylings and even her vocals are so disparate track to track that you might not even make the connection. Speaking of disparate, Anjulie opened for Jesse McCartney last year... Anyway, Anjulie's self-titled debut album comes out August 4, and already I can tell it's the kind of spiked pop I NEED in my lifestyle. Daily.

Oh yeah, this isn't in the interview you're about to watch, but Metalworks Recording studios in Canada fired a 17-year-old Anjulie from her internship for accepting a lunch invitation from Jon Levine, of the Toronto band The Philosopher Kings. Oh, well! Jon went on to become a huge champion and even a musical collaborator of Anjulie's, so it looks like office flirtation has its benefits.

'Kay. Watch Anjulie tell you all about her flatulence and more, and watch her "Boom" video after the jump.

Anjulie is obsessed with music. Since she was a kid, the Toronto temptress has been singing and writing songs. And although she's had some success penning hits for other artists, has toured with Jesse McCartney and had her own songs featured on The Hills and The City, nothing up to this point compares to "Boom," the lead single from her Boom EP.

Anjulie's new single is as sultry as an August apartment in a power-out. Her bold vocals ride a seductive boom-bap beat, reeling in listeners with whispered sexuality.

The Adria Petty (Kings Of Leon, Paris Hilton)-directed video is equally alluring. In it, a bustier-clad Anjulie walks a tightrope between mile-high desert crags, coyly twirling an umbrella. She bats her lashes -- every line a come-on -- tip-toeing in fishnets toward a relationship she knows won't work. And then... BOOM! She falls, and the whole thing comes to undulating life.

Watch Anjulie's new video, "Boom," now.
