UK boy band The Wanted has recently premiered the music video for their song “Glad You Came”. The track is the second single to come off of their upcoming new studio album, which is out later this year. The very catchy single was produced by Steve Mac, Wayne Hector and Ed Drewett. It’s a great pop record with an infectious beat, dancehall influence and rhyming verses. As for the music video, it sees the members of the group partying it up on the paradise island that is Ibiza. It’s a good visual and fits the song’s summery vibe really well.

Ja Rule has recently turned himself over to the authorities to begin his two-year prison sentence in New York. The rapper’s executive producer Seven, who was in the courthouse when Ja Rule was waiting to be processed, said that Ja spent some private time with his wife, close friends and family members before he was taken behind closed doors. The last thing Ja said to everyone was “Real life is a fantasy, f**k fame … I’m ready for this to get over with. I am focused.” The rapper, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, was hit with a 2-year sentence in 2010 when he pled guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon, stemming from a 2007 incident in which cops found a loaded semi-automatic handgun in his car.
Gym Class Heroes has a new song out called “Stereo Hearts”. The Benny Blanco-produced and Adam Levine-assisted track is the lead single from the hip hop band’s much-anticipated fifth album “The Papercut Chronicles II”, which is due in stores this year. The song has an uplifting and summery vibe, and is overall a good track. The lyrics are really cool with loads of metaphors that are very consistent throughout the entire song. I actually like the verses more than the chorus – it’s all about Travie McCoy! If you want to grab hold of this single, it will be released on iTunes on June 14th.

Gym Class Heroes – Stereo Hearts – Lyrics
[Adam Levine]
My heart’s a stereo
It beats for your, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
[Travie McCoy]
If I was just another dusty record on the shelve
Will you blow me off and play me like everybody else
If I ask you to scratch my back, could you manage that
Like it read well, check it Travie, I can handle that
Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
This the last girl that play me left a couple cracks
I used to used to used to used to, now I’m over that
Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts
If I could only find a note to make you understand
I sing a song and the image grab me by the hands
Keep myself inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart is a stereo that only plays for you
[Chorus]
My heart’s a stereo
It beats for your, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh To my stereo
Oh oh oh oh So sing along to my stereo
[Travie McCoy]
If I wasn’t old school, fifty pound boombox
Would you hold me on your shoulder, wherever you walk
Would you turn my volume up before of the cops
And crank it higher everytime they told you to stop
And all I ask is that you don’t get mad at me
When you have to purchase mad D batteries
Appreciate every mixtape your friends make
You never know we come and go like we’re on the interstate
I think finally found a note to make you understand
If you can hear it, sing along and take me by the hands
Keep myself inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart is a stereo that only plays for you
[Chorus]
My heart’s a stereo
It beats for your, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh To my stereo
Oh oh oh oh So sing along to my stereo
[Bridge]
I only pray you never leave me behind
Because good music can be so hard to find
I take your hand and pull it closer to mine
Thought love was dead, but now you’re changing my mind
[Chorus]
My heart’s a stereo
It beats for your, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh To my stereo
Oh oh oh oh So sing along to my stereo
Maybe the old said that the third time’s the charm will apply for Britney Spears’ marriages. It looks like the singer got swept off her feet again, this time by her current boyfriend Jason Tarwick who supposedly proposed to her by writing her a poem. Of course Britney Spears encountered her new engagement with nothing short of great pleasure, as a source revealed: ”She’s on cloud nine.” However it does seem that she was pretty reserved in some aspects this time around as the engagement was secret until only recently. It would appear that someone once again just couldn’t hold their excitement in for much longer.
Well, it won’t be so much of a surprise now that it’s already out, but still it is reason for excitement for all of Britney Spears’ fans out there. The singer has been getting ready for her upcoming “Femme Fatale” tour and has a few surprises ready for her fans, one of which is apparently a cover she is doing of Madonna’s “Burning Up”. A short clip of Britney Spears performing the song leaked on to the internet and it’s getting a lot of attention. This might just prove to be a very good boost for the ticket sales on Britney Spears’ new tour. And one has to wonder that when something leaks on the internet like this, why is it never the whole thing?
The singer seems to be very optimistic and excited about her upcoming tour and she wants to make her fans feel the same way. This is what Katy Perry had to say about her new tour: “It has room to grow. A typical tour is three months, but we’re going to the end of November. It’s nice to be able to expand and get out of the same same same. That’s the fun thing about success. I can take advantage of it. Now I can say, ‘I want a machine that simulates the whipped-cream boobs from the “California Gurls” video.’ I just want to keep things fresh, keep people on their toes and keep myself excited.” So Katy Perry’s fans have nothing but good things to look forward to from her upcoming tour. Maybe she’s even going to try and match Rihanna’s new stage perks.
Why should Nick Cannon bother to speak about his own music when he can speak about that of his wife? In a recent interview with Perez Hilton, Nick Cannon had a few things to say about Mariah Carey’s upcoming album: “She’s very inspired by her early work. She’s been listening to her first two albums quite a bit. I think it’s gonna’ be good though because I think she’s gonna’ bring music back to the game and that’s her job so she’s excited about being able to be musical and bring the voice back.” Right… so bottom line, Mariah Carey’s new album is going to be a lot more musical… as opposed to her previous work which was something else, at least according to Nick Cannon.
It seems that the contest has a pretty special treat planned for all of its viewers for when they will show their very first live episode. The judges of the show will be kicking it all off with a medley of Queen songs, starting with “Bohemian Rhapsody” and going through “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions”. This is what the show’s judges said on the matter in a joint statement: “Kicking off the debut of the live episode of The Voice with these high energy renditions of classic Queen hits will set the tone for our live shows.” Well that’s probably going to draw in the audiences. After all, how often does one see Cee-Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, Blake and Adam Levine singing together?
Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” may be the fastest selling album of the year so far but that’s not stopping the government of Lebanon from banning the album from stores. According to reports, their government decided to ban the album due to its “alleged insults to Christianity” and “its all around bad taste”. That’s such a disappointing move. Maybe fans of the princess of pop who want to hear the album can download it off of iTunes or Amazon. I doubt they can ban it from digital stores. People can just get creative and rename the album if they don’t want to get caught with it.
It would appear that the infamous Oasis split has in no way come between the family ties that bind Liam and Noel Gallagher. Seeing that the former Oasis guitarist is soon to be married he has expressed his desire for his brother to attend the wedding. This is what Noel Gallagher said about his brother being at his wedding: ”He is my brother. He is a tit but he’s my brother so I guess he should be there. Yeah, I would want him there. Family is family on days like that and it would make a lot of people happy. But he’ll always be a complete shit.” But will Liam Gallagher actually see things the way his brother does? The answer will most likely be no.
Rihanna kicked off her “Loud” world tour this past Saturday in Baltimore, Maryland. Among her exciting and lengthy set list, the R&B singer performed her brand new and controversial single “Man Down”. After the premiere of the music video for the song, the US Parents Television Council immediately went out to accuse Rihanna that the video was “an apparent enticement to young women to turn to violence”. She has since addressed the issue on BET’s 106 & Park and on Twitter. And to shut it all out, Rihanna did a killer performance of “Man Down” during her concert. Work it!

Jessie J rocked the stage on Britain’s Got Talent last week where the rising pop singer performed a killer rendition of her song “Mama Knows Best”. The track comes off of her debut album “Who You Are”. I love watching Jessie J perform, even more so this performance. It’s like watching a musical play. I wonder why she didn’t sing her official new single “Nobody’s Perfect” though. The song is still fighting within the Top 20 on the UK charts. Maybe Jessie J just doesn’t want to lose any momentum and is perhaps planning to release “Mama Knows Best” as a single in the near future. What do you think?

It seems that the singer’s upcoming single was written by none other than Diane Warren. However, not only does Beyonce’s new song have such a prolific writer, but Diane Warren considers it her best to date. This is what she had to say about her newest creation: “I just wrote something a week and a half ago that Beyoncé recorded and I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever written. She sang it amazingly. I think it’s a career song and probably my favorite thing I’ve ever written … right now. I think it’s really, really going to touch people.” Well this is certainly good news, especially considering the fact that most of Beyonce’s latest releases haven’t exactly brought much pleasing feedback.
It seems to have been quite some time since Coldplay released a new single, but lo! and behold the day has finally come and the band has released their new song called “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall”. Coldplay’s new song is a pretty fast-paced and optimistic sounding thing. It has a steady pace and Chris Martin’s vocals, even though not extraordinary, seem to blend very well into the whole thing. The song itself sounds like some sort of a combination of pop and a little psychedelic rock. This new song of Coldplay’s is probably going to bring them back into the charts for a bit… or maybe even longer than that if the gods are smiling.
Coldplay – Every Teardrop is a Waterfall – New Song:
Coldplay – Every Teardrop is a Waterfall – Lyrics
I SHUT THE WORLD OUTSIDE UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME ON
MAYBE THE STREETS ALIGHT, MAYBE THE TREES ARE GONE
I FEEL MY HEART START BEATING TO MY FAVOURITE SONG
AND ALL THE KIDS THEY DANCE, ALL THE KIDS ALL NIGHT
UNTIL MONDAY MORNING FEELS ANOTHER LIFE
I TURN THE MUSIC UP
I’M ON A ROLL THIS TIME
AND HEAVEN IS IN SIGHT
I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON
FROM UNDERNEATH THE RUBBLE SING A REBEL SONG
DON’T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER GENERATION DROP
I’D RATHER BE A COMMA THAN A FULL STOP
MAYBE I’M IN THE BLACK, MAYBE I’M ON MY KNEES
MAYBE I’M IN THE GAP BETWEEN THE TWO TRAPEZES
BUT MY HEART IS BEATING AND MY PULSES START
CATHEDRALS IN MY HEART
AND WE SAW OH THIS LIGHT I SWEAR YOU, EMERGE BLINKING INTO
TO TELL ME IT’S ALRIGHT
AS WE SOAR WALLS, EVERY SIREN IS A SYMPHONY
AND EVERY TEAR’S A WATERFALL
IS A WATERFALL
OH
IS A WATERFALL
OH OH OH
IS A IS A WATERFALL
EVERY TEAR
IS A WATERFALL
OH OH OH
SO YOU CAN HURT, HURT ME BAD
BUT STILL I’LL RAISE THE FLAG
OH
IT WAS A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL
A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL
Eminem and Royce da 5’9 have a new song out called “Lighters”. The rappers, who together form the hip hop duo Bad Meets Evil, have this track on their upcoming album “Hell: The Sequel” out on June 14th. “Lighters” was one of the most anticipated tracks from the album as it sees the first collaboration between two of the music industry’s biggest players today – Eminem and Bruno Mars. In the song, Bruno shows off his wide vocal range and vulnerable side on the chorus and bridge. I really think this track should eventually be a single. Eminem is capable of having a top 10 hit on his own, same with Bruno. The two of them together, as well as Royce da 5’9 – smash hit!

The group have recently released a new music video for their song “Champagne Showers”. As one would expect from LMFAO the music video starts out pretty interestingly, with messages written in mirror view. The video supposedly has some sort of story behind it, but it all unfortunately degenerates into a party video. Still, it is not your average party video and that’s certainly going to score it a few points. The song itself is in LMFAO’s reasonable stile of electropop/hip-hop with a bit of a twist of dance in there. All in all, not a bad piece of work, although it could have done a bit better in retrospect.

The singer has finally managed to release a new music video, this time for her single “Man Down”. The music video begins pretty harshly with the murder of someone, but this basically just sets the mood for the song itself which is actually a reggae/R&B murder ballad. The imagery that follows is reasonably interesting and it is mainly focused on Rihanna… and of course there’s no lack of the very common eye candy. The music video isn’t a bad piece of work, and the song is a pretty steady piece for anyone who likes reggae and the sound of Rihanna’s voice. This one will probably garner itself a reasonable following and for a reasonably long amount of time.

Sean Kingston and a female passenger were injured in a jet ski accident near Miami this past weekend, leaving the two with substantial injuries that needed to be treated in the trauma unit, with Sean sustaining the worse injuries. Thankfully, the hip hop singer’s condition has now been stabilized. His publicist Joseph Carozza said in a statement “Sean Kingston is now stabilized and has moved from the trauma unit to ICU. Sean’s family thanks everyone for their prayers and support during this time.” I wish Sean a speedy recovery and that he gets out of the ICU soon enough. He’ll be in my thoughts till then.
American rock band Kings of Leon recently premiered the official music video for their song “Back Down South”. The track is the third single to be lifted off of their latest album “Come Around Sundown”. The song is so relaxing and there’s just something about it that makes me want to smile. As for the Casey McGrath-directed video, it perfectly captured the song’s essence as a great homage to the south lifestyle. It also shows footage from the band performing a live concert outdoors in a rural setting in front of a group of a group of lucky members of the Kings of Leon fan club.
