New Song from BoB – Strange Clouds

amanda — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 18:06:38 +0000

BoB has a new song out called “Strange Clouds”. The track, which features fellow hip hop artist Lil Wayne, is the first single to come off of the Atlanta rapper’s much anticipated sophomore studio album. The song was released on iTunes on September 27th and I see no reason why this shouldn’t crack the top 10. It’s may not be as explosive as BoB’s other collaborative work but I really think that it’s a smash either way. What do you guys think about this new single of his? How high do you think it’s going to go up on the charts?

Leona Lewis Unveils Album Cover Art

amanda — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 21:34:50 +0000

Leona Lewis has recently unveiled the official artwork for her upcoming album “Glassheart”. The pop singer’s third studio effort will hit stores in the UK on November 28th. I guess she’s keeping “Glass Heart” written as one word. I’m not sure what to think of that. Anyway, the actual album cover features a pretty photo of Leona. There’s no denying that her face is simply stunning but with all the possibilities with the words, they could have done so much better with the cover. It’s very safe in my opinion. Where’s the creativity and originality? In other news, Leona recently had an interview with UK radio show “IN: DEMAND with Alex and Lucy” earlier this week where she confirmed that she will be performing on the US X Factor.

Nick Cannon speaks about Mariah Carey’s new album

Alex — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 11:10:44 +0000

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.

Kenny Chesney Lands 20th #1

Alex — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 21:53:29 +0000

I was quite impressed with Kenny Chesney when his album “Hemingway’s Whiskey” hit the number 1 spot on both the Soundscan Top 200 and the Country Albums charts. Now, the country singer’s success continues as his single “Live a Little” has become his 20th number 1 on Billboard’s Country Songs airplay chart. The song also marks Kenny’s third number 1 country songs hit from “Hemingway’s Whiskey”. Congratulations to Kenny on his success! He continues to impress and I don’t think he’s going to stop impressing any time soon. Are you among the people who have helped his song and his album reach this type of success?

Lil’ Wayne lets his fans know when his new album will be out

Alex — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 23:37:50 +0000

The rapper has recently announced that he has finished his new album, “Tha Carter IV” and has also revealed its release date. This is what Lil’ Wayne said about his upcoming album: “Tha Carter IV is done. All they need to do is tell Tez to stop sitting on it. Tez, stop sitting on Tha Carter IV and put the album out. May 16, believe that. It can come out tomorrow ’cause I’m so finished…Tha Carter IV will be dropping May 16. If you’re not doing anything, do me.” Is Lil’ Wayne getting happy with anything again lately? It sure sounds like he’s not really that much in the zone he’s supposed to be in.

Florence and the Machine is ready for another one

Alex — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 00:04:25 +0000

It looks like the very successful newcomers are already on their way to releasing a new album. Apparently Florence and the Machine have finished the writing work and now they are all set to start recording it. The band’s guitarist, Rob Ackroyd, had this to say on the matter: “Work on the second album has begun with producer Paul Epworth and there is talk of booking out Abbey Road for a month in April or May to record. Which is nice. Florence’s and my taste in music often overlap in harmonious fashion; we’re both big fans of hip-hop and American indie. But she’s also a big fan of unadulterated pop music, which cuts through me like a knife.” Perhaps this new album from Florence and the Machine will be just as big as their first. Maybe they’ll even get an award or two for this one.

Kanye West Reveals Release Month of Joint Album with Jay-Z

Alex — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 20:53:16 +0000

A couple of weeks ago, Kanye West announced via Twitter that his joint album with fellow rapper Jay-Z would drop on 1.11.11. The date has come and gone and there’s still no album out. Now, it looks like the album has been delayed further as Kanye went to tweet about it, saying “WATCH THE THRONE COMING IN 2 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!” With all the delays that this album has seen, it better be good. I suppose I can forgive them if they do make it good. I wasn’t exactly thrilled with their latest single “HAM”. They’re two of the biggest names in hip hop. I would hate to take that back just because of this one album.

Kanye West and Jay-Z’s new album delayed once more

Alex — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 23:30:54 +0000

It looks like the Universe just wants to keep Kanye West’s genius at bay whatever the cost. It’s just that combined with Jay-Z’s mastery it would just create an album of epic proportions. So Kanye West and Jay-Z’s new album just keeps getting delayed. This is what Kanye West recently tweeted about the release date: “WATCH THE THRONE COMING IN 2 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!” So it’s another two months of excruciating wait for that greatly sought revelation. Well, at least all of the impatient ones out there can comfort themselves with the sheer awesomeness of the new song “H.A.M.” courtesy of the Kanye West and Jay-Z duo.

Enrique Iglesias launches Euphoria

Alex — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 22:36:14 +0000

The new album signed by Enrique Iglesias, Euphoria, is the most diverse one till now. It is a collection of songs written in the past four years. This new material is showing Enrique discovering new directions, and being adventurous. Regarding the new album Enrique declared: �We can�t wait to finish this album. It does not resemble to anything I�ve done till now. It includes many musical genres and it was extraordinary for me to experiment and explore new territories.� . On this album Enrique collaborates with artists like Akon, Usher and Nicole Scherzinger.

Chris Martin has no plans to release solo album

Alex — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 18:42:37 +0000

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said he has no plans to release a solo album and thinks the idea would be ‘cringeworthy’.

Martin, 33, said he had been chatting to Natasha Khan from band Bat For Lashes about the thought of a solo album and decided that he is nothing without the band behind him.

He said to UK’s Q magazine: “This is going to sound cheesy, but what makes a great frontman is the great people behind him.

“I had this conversation yesterday with Natasha from Bat For Lashes, who’s on tour with us, and we were talking about how if Bono or I were to release solo albums, they’d be cringeworthy.

“It’s still the same person singing, but the gang aspect makes you acceptable.

“If you take me out of the band, I can’t dance, I can’t do what Beyonce can do.

“I’m only surviving on enthusiasm and collective chemistry. All frontmen become s**t as soon as the perceived least important member of their band leaves.”

Green Day getting a new release ready

Alex — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 22:36:28 +0000

While others can?t stand being famous and successful, Green Day sure have no problem with it. In fact, they seem to love it so much that they?re actually getting ready for a new album even though their last was released less than a year ago. This is what Billie-Joe Armstrong said about it: “We did some demos in Berlin, some in Stockholm, some just outside of Glasgow and some in Amsterdam,” said Armstrong. “We wanted to get down in some early form.” So, Green Day are using Europe to probe the field for their next album? they?ve become quite the little marketing geniuses, haven?t they? Maybe it will stick this time around too.

Mariah Carey?s New Album Cancelled

Alex — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 19:50:17 +0000

The music business has not been kind to Mariah Carey in the past year. After two push backs and a dismal first release of a studio album last year, the singer?s remix album ?Angels Advocate? has been cancelled only a month away from its release date. A statement from her people confirmed the news but they didn?t say why it has been cancelled. In the meantime, reps for the singer say that she is looking to the future and is in the early stage of constructing a brand new album and maybe even a Christmas album. I say she should just quit when she?s ahead.

Lil Wayne Album on Limited Release

Alex — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 18:42:04 +0000

Some of Lil Wayne?s fans have gotten quite the surprise in the mail. The rapper?s upcoming rock album ?Rebirth? was originally scheduled for release on December 15, but has since been pushed back to February 1. However, someone must have not gotten the memo as 500 or so fans who pre-ordered the album on Amazon were sent the CD in the mail this week. I?m expecting a full album leak to go down some time real soon. I wonder what those fans think of the new music that Lil Wayne is offering. Someone better get online and let us have a say too!

Kris Allen Album Coming Soon

Alex — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:40:03 +0000

There?s a new, albeit rumored, self-titled album cover for American Idol Season 8 winner Kris Allen out on the internet. The singer?s current single is ?Live Like We?re Dying? and the album is scheduled to be released on November 17th. A couple of days ago, Kris was asked how close he was to wrapping things up on the record and he told EW, ?We?re still writing some more songs for the album, and just putting some finishing touches on other tracks, going back to do some minor vocal takes, and that?s kind of it. We have a lot of songs that are almost done, and with a little bit of work we?ll have them completely done.?

Johnny Borrell wants Razorlight’s next album to be a dance record

Alex — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 17:03:37 +0000

Razorlight singer Johnny Borrell wants the band’s next album to have a dance feel.

Borrell, 29, said: “It’s going to be a different sound, I want to collaborate with someone. I’m thinking a house music extravaganza.

“I was sifting through old things the other day and found a piece of paper with some songs from Carl Barat. That was another era. I wish The Libertines all the best if they do get back together.”
