Rolling Stone
“Over You” (3 stars) — delivers “shiny heartbreak that splits the difference between *NSYNC and Maroon 5 – all riffing synths… and tunefulness.”
Entertainment Weekly
Honor Society are “crafty pop rock dudes” with songs that “shimmer with freeze-dried funk licks…”
People Magazine
“…fans will likely swoon over …” whose “strongest tracks include the power ballads ‘Where Are You Now’ and ‘Goodnight My Love’ both showcasing Bruno’s emotive tenor. ‘My Own Way’ is an infectious pop-rocker.”
Dallas Morning News
Honor Society are “purveyors of that frenetic catchy-crunchy pop sound of the day…”
By now, everyone knows that the Adam Lambert song that leaked last week is actually a couple of years old. It turns out that the American Idol runner up was looking for quick money back then and lent his voice to some songs to pay the bills. The singer said “Back in 2005 when I was a struggling artist, I was hired as a studio singer to lend my vocals to tracks written by someone else. I was broke at the time and this was my chance to make a few bucks, so I jumped at the opportunity to record for my first time in a professional studio. The work I did back then in no way reflects the music I am currently in the studio working on. I’m thrilled to be working with some of today’s hottest songwriters and producers and can’t wait for people to hear what my music really sounds like.”
Check out Demi Lovato’s just released video for “Don’t Forget. “ The video for the heartfelt ballad was shot at Griffith Park in Los Angeles, CA and features Demi rocking out in the rain. “Don’t Forget” is the title track off of Demi’s debut album and will appear on her new Deluxe Edition due out on March 31st along with two brand new songs, behind the scenes content and making of the video footage.

16 Frames’ debut album Where It Ends has just exclusively premiered on Rhapsody.com. The site is streaming the album in full and has made the Matt Serletic (Matchbox 20, Santana) produced album available for purchase before its official release date. After having several songs featured on MTV’s The Hills, the Los Angeles based band is again making themselves heard on TV with their song “Close Range” in the new promos for ABC’s “Private Practice.”
Where It Ends will be available in stores and on iTunes March 24th.
On Tuesday, March 24, 2009, 16 Frames released Where It Ends, the band’s debut recording for Verve Forecast and its first on a major label. The album features 11 perfectly-crafted pop songs, all written by Steve Sulikowski, 16 Frames’ front man.
Where It Ends pairs immediately catchy rock melodies with complex, often dark, melancholy lyrics. The music resonates with fans of bands such as The Fray, U2, and Matchbox 20.
Songs from Where It Ends have already been showcased on television programs such as MTV’s The Hills and ABC’s Men In Trees, helping to establish 16 Frames as a new force in modern pop music. The band features Sulikowski on guitar and vocals with Josh Dunahoo on guitars, Dylan Wilson on bass, and Daniel James on drums.
Throughout the album, Sulikowski mines the depths of relationships between lovers and friends, parents and partners for his song lyrics. For example, his girlfriend feeling depressed one evening inspired him to write the explosive opener “Close Range,” a devastating tale of waking up to see your loved one with bags packed and headed out the door into the arms of another. The title track draws on a past relationship that came to a close since he and an ex continued to make the same mistakes over and over. Sulikowski wrote “Back Again,” the album’s gem of a first single, “at a really dark time when things couldn’t look any worse, career-wise, life-wise, just in general.”
Other songs featured on Where It Ends include the spirited “Daylight,” the hit-bound power ballad “Let’s Not Pretend,” and the touching “Coming Home.”
The band’s name comes from the world of filmmaking: it takes 16 frames for movement on film to progress from choppy to fluid. The cinematic imagery also details Sulikowski’s journey in creating the music. “My manager would tell me making a record is a lot like making movies: you have rewrites, you have dailies, and I started to look at the whole songwriting and creative process unfolding in a way like a movie. Sixteen frames is that moment when things become focused, become clear.”
16 Frames premiered the video for their single, “Back Again,” last week on mtvU where they are now spotlighted on this week’s installment of The Freshmen. Check out the video here and head over to mtvU.com to start voting.
Hana Pestle is a self-proclaimed Twilight fanatic. The nineteen year old singer/songwriter from Billings, Montana believes she has the perfect song for the next movie and has started a movement to get “Need” in the forthcoming New Moon. The hauntingly beautiful track was one of her first compositions written at only fifteen years old in 2004. It was produced /co-written for her album by Ben Moody (co-founder of Evanescence) and Michael “Fish” Herring with string arrangements by David Campbell and piano performance by David Hodges (Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry). Check out the “Need for New Moon” page to learn more about the mission and watch a personal video message from Hana.
Hana’s E.P. is available now and her debut, full-length album is due out in July.
Hinder just released their new album, Take it to the Limit. Produced by Brian Howes (Puddle of Mudd, Chris Cornell), the eleven song collection is packed with the kind of arena-ready guitar anthems that have the band constantly compared to bands like Def Leppard and M?tley Cr?e. The band recently released ?Without You? as a single and the power-ballad picks up where their 2006 breakthrough hit “Lips of an Angel” left off. The band?s debut album Extreme Behavior has gone on to sell over 3 million copies so anticipation is high for this one.
Take it to the Limit is streaming in its entirety over at the band?s MySpace page: myspace.com/hindermusic

Hilary McRae?s debut album, Through These Walls, is available now! Released by Hear Music, this record showcases McRae?s soulful smoky voice along with her piano skills and seasoned songwriting abilities. She?s backed by a powerful set of horns that were arranged by Charlie Calello, who has arranged music for legends such as Frank Sinatra and Bruce Springsteen. At 21 years old, McRae shines wise beyond her years as she draws upon past relationships and heartbreak to help craft many the messages behind the twelve songs on the record. With upbeat tracks like the lead single ?Every Day (When Will You Be Mine)? to the smooth and sultry ?Let?s Stop,? Through These Walls is a record with something for everyone to enjoy.
Hilary McRae will celebrate the release of her ?impressive debut? (Performing Songwriter) ?Through These Walls? (Hear Music) with shows in her native Florida.

Scarlett Johansson is currently on a promo tour for her movie ?The Other Boleyn Girl? but sooner or later, she?s going to have to go on a promo tour for her album ?Anywhere I Lay My Head? since the album is set to drop in stores on May 20. The actress turned singer actually unveiled her debut album for media last Tuesday. Her album includes 10 Tom Waits covers ? ?Fawn?, ?Town with No Cheer?, ?Falling Down?, ?Anywhere I Lay My Head?, ?Fannin? Street?, ?Green Grass?, ?I Wish I was in New Orleans?, ?I Don?t Want to Grow Up?, ?No One Knows I?m Gone? and ?Who Are You?? as well as one original song called ?Song for Jo?.
A look at Evanescence on paper reveals a band that should be in its glory. Following a best new artist Grammy Award for 2003 debut studio album “Fallen,” a Billboard 200 No. 1 debut for 2006 follow-up “The Open Door” and the top 10 launch single “Call Me When You’re Sober,” the group toured the world for nearly a year. So what happened? Single follow-ups “Lithium” and “Sweet Sacrifice” never even charted in the States. The fourth single from “The Open Door,” piano-driven rock ballad “Good Enough,” is as intense and affecting as anything before it?and this time, Lee’s lyric steps from the dark side, reveling in the relief of positivity: “It’s been a long time coming, but I feel good enough.” It’s a make-or-break moment for a band that seemed to own the world one year ago.
Get ready all you OneRepublic fans. Their album ?Dreaming Out Loud? will be hitting stores November 20.
Their current single ?Apologize? has been saturating the radio stations all across America. The band can thank Timbaland for the great remix he did with the single. ?It gave me goose bumps the first time I heard it,? the 28-year-old artist says.
Timbaland, who apparently saw Tedder, one of the band members, at an MTV contest, offered him a deal. He then spend the next two years hoping he’d record and release a solo album, but Timbaland kept telling him that he’s a producer and not an artist. ?Apologize? was written in 2003, but wasn’t touched until 2007.
I guess it takes awhile for a great song to hit the radio. And this song truly does give me the goose bumps.
Blake Lewis is the popular runner-up on the sixth season of American Idol. Born in Redmond, Washington, Lewis started singing at age five and competed in statewide talent contests while in high school. He became a beat-boxer at 17, inspired by the then Seattle-based a cappella group M-Pact. Lewis was a member of the Pacific Northwest a cappella group Kickshaw for four years. He also recorded several music videos and wrote a number of original songs.
After “American Idol,” Lewis signed to 19 Recordings / ARISTA Records and started working on his debut album with a stellar line-up of producers and songwriters. Among the producers were Jonathan “JR” Rotem, who has worked with Rihanna (on her No. 1 single “SOS”) and Sean Kingston; Ryan “Alias” Tedder, who has worked with Timbaland; and S*A*M & Sluggo, who have worked with two of the year’s biggest new artists, Gym Class Heroes and Boys Like Girls.
Lewis’ debut album, Audio Day Dream (A.D.D), will be released on December 4. “Break Anotha” is the first single off the album.
Leona Lewis has a ton of great songs on her upcoming debut album ?Spirit?. She already has a great single in ?Bleeding Love? and ?Angel? is shaping up to be another great one.
The ?X Factor? winner is already on the course to having the fastest selling single of the year in the UK. Her current single ?Bleeding Love? has already sold over 250,000 copies.
I guess everyone agrees that she does have the x factor to succeed in the fickle
business known as the music industry. No one can deny the amount of talent that she has and it shows with the numbers that are coming in for her.
Black Eyed Peas leader will.i.am says he’s “really excited and nervous at the same time” about becoming a solo artist with the September 25 release of “Songs About Girls.”
“I was like, ‘How and why should I put out a solo project?’ I could just do another Black Eyed Peas record,” he tells Billboard.com. The hook, he says, was making “Songs About Girls” a semi-autobiographical conceptual piece “where all the songs could tell a story of falling in love, falling out of love, trying to get back in love, destructing love and destroying love and then starting a new situation. That journey is what makes this unique.”
The album features only one guest star, Snoop Dogg, on the electroclash-styled track “Donque.”
Besides the album’s 12 songs, will.i.am shot videos for eight of the tracks and stitched them together into “a movie about making a movie” that will accompany the CD.
will.i.am plans to perform some of the “Songs About Girls” material live when Black Eyed Peas hit the road for a two-month international tour on September 4 in Israel. The group will play in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, South America and Mexico but not in North America. “There’s no Black Eyed Peas record out,” he explains, “and America’s weird like that. If you ain’t got nothing in the marketplace, (the fans) ain’t showing up.”
Jordin Sparks doesn’t have a name for her debut album yet, but she’s got a release date set in stone: November 20. In anticipation of the 19 Recordings/ Jive disc, the “American Idol” champ drew back the curtains on her first single on Friday (August 24), debuting “Tattoo”. she’s a bit nervous to be following in the wake of Clarkson and Carrie Underwood’s success. “They’ve risen the bar so high and I’m like, ‘I hope I can reach it,’ ” she said. “Hopefully [my LP will] sell well and people will like it.” …Firstly just stop trying to imitate the past winners, try being someone whose got some of her to talent that she wants to showcase or if she cannot do that then it will be easier becoming a mimckery artist and earn money copying others. And if she wants to make a name for herself then listen dear dare to be different and aim for the stars, and if you start daring then the star will fall at your feer. Yeah don?t start dreaming so fast and get to dizzy heights there a long away to go before you achieve the dizzy heights.
Fans who’ve followed Lori McKenna since she was performing in small cafes, selling self-released CDs after a show, may have been a little nervous when the mainstream country establishment scooped her up.
In mere months, McKenna went from a critically acclaimed but under-the-radar singer-songwriter to a protege of country superduo Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. After McKenna penned Hill’s hit “Stealing Kisses,” she signed a record deal on McGraw’s label, opened for the pair on their huge nationwide tour and even sat next to Hill on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” as Winfrey gushed about McKenna’s talents.
But don’t worry about McKenna trying to Faith Hill-ify her music and sacrifice her intensely personal, emotional songwriting. With “Unglamorous,” released this month, the 38-year-old makes such a seamless transition even she jokes it has been too good to be true.
“I keep telling my kids, these things normally don’t happen … it’s usually not this easy,” laughs McKenna.
But McKenna’s path to Nashville hasn’t followed the typical major-label debut trajectory. First off, she’s 38 years old and not trying to hide it. She’s also the married mother of five children, ages 18 to 3.
And she still lives the life of a typical juggling mom, living outside of Boston and writing songs in between school dropoffs and cleaning up after kid mishaps.
McKenna wouldn’t have it any other way.
“I’m just one of those people, I’ve been so blessed to do what I do, and be able to have my focus still be on the things that I love, which are my kids, and my family and my husband and my songwriting.”
McKenna has maintained this artful balance since 1998, when she put out her first album, “Paper Wings & Halo.” Though McKenna, the youngest of six kids, had been playing guitar since she was a teen and always had a passion for music, she didn’t start her career until after she became a mom. When “Paper Wings” was released, she had to borrow money from family and friends to get it released.
“Music was always one of those things that I sort of did on the side. I remember at first it was considered like, ‘Oh, it’s like a hobby for mom,’ because it’s something that would take me away from home, and I wouldn’t really make money on it,” says McKenna, whose husband is a plumber. “Then the next year, it was like, ‘Well, she’s making a little money, she helps with the grocery bills.’”
Soon, it was her second job, after being a stay-at-home mom. McKenna would load up her minivan and play gigs across the Northeast, often making it back home before the kids got up for school the next morning.
Her stature grew, especially regarding her songwriting, which is filled with strong characters, rich storytelling and haunting melodies.
Last week, rappers UGK released their perennially delayed seventh album, Underground Kingz. The act, composed of longtime friends Chad “Pimp C” Butler and Bernard “Bun B” Freeman, hadn’t released an album’s worth of new material since 2002’s somewhat thrown-together Side Hustles collection ? an album that debuted at #70 on Billboard’s albums chart with 14,800 copies scanned during week one. This a nice jump from their previous release as the previous release debuted at 70 and this one has debuted at #1. But while Pimp C spent four years behind bars on assault charges, UGK’s legend and influence grew ? and the duo’s first new album in five years scanned almost 160,000 copies last week, making Underground Kingz the group’s first #1 on the Billboard albums chart.
Metal music fans from the 80s will be enthused to hear about reunion of one of their favorite bands. The original line up from Guns N? Roses will reunite without Axl Rose to mark the 20th anniversary since the debut album, Appetite for Destruction. The event will take place at the Los Angeles Key Club on July 28th. Original members consist of Slash, Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan. Even though Axl Rose isn?t expected due to past conflicts among members, drummer Steven Adler believes the full reunion will happen. He says it?s just a matter of time. The GN?R reunion is one that will be bigger than all rock reunions before it. It will be huge and more welcome than previous reunions such as KISS or Motley Crue. Classic rock fans just might have something huge to look forward to if the band members can get their act together.
M.I.A. has finally been granted a new U.S. visa, allowing her to travel to the States to perform.
She plays the Siren Festival on New York’s Coney Island tomorrow (July 21).
She had previously been refused a U.S. visa on numerous occasions, scuppering her chances of promoting her debut album Arular in America. It has been reported that her father was a member of the terrorist group the Tamil Tigers, in Sri Lanka, which may have been a factor the U.S. authorities’ thinking.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to get into the U.S.,” she told the Village Voice a few days before she was granted her visa. “I have an apartment in Brooklyn. It’d be nice to go there.”
The singer added she did not think her heavily political lyrics or background had anything to do with the previous refusals.
“Generally, there’s just some bands over here [in the U.K.] going through it,’ she said. ‘I think Klaxons are in the same boat.”
James Blunt has been caught in a songwriting dispute. The singer faces a courtroom battle in a long running dispute over the authorship of six songs from his 2005 debut album Back To Bedlam.
Lukas Burton, a Los Angeles producer, claims he co-wrote the tracks with Blunt. Due to the claims, royalty payments to the singer have been suspended since last year, reports The Independent.
Burton, who has worked with Paul McCartney and Dido, is seeking royalties for the songs “Goodbye My Lover,” “No Bravery,” “Cry,” “I Don’t Believe,” “I Really Want You,” and “Don’t Lose Yourself.”
Blunt insists he wrote the songs for the huge-selling album either while serving as an officer with the British Army in Kosovo in 1999, at his flat in Bristol, or at his parents’ home in Hampshire in early 1989.
The singer’s publicist confirmed that he and his publishing company EMI are asking Britain’s High Court to settle the dispute.
She said: “This is true. It is all a matter for the public record.”
Writing on his blog, Burton said of Blunt’s music: “His stuff was crude, occasionally laughably direct, and betrayed his relative lack of musicianship or discernible influence…it would probably be an overstatement to say that in terms of his professional musical aspirations James had nothing going on, but he definitely had next to nothing going on.”
It seems that the musical stars of Disney are booming in sales and have reached all time highs. Hannah Montana actress Miley Cyrus recently released her debut album ?Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus?. She has since appeared on the cover of People magazine and many other magazines and media outlets. Though her album has debuted at the top of the charts there is one place you cannot find Miley or her music, Top 40 radio. Even Disney?s smash hit ?High School Musical? cannot find a home among the Top 40. Radio has a real stigma about playing teen acts. Disney?s president of entertainment feels it unfairly locks out the younger stars because radio feels it?s beneath them to focus on clean cut stars. Artists of similar ages are played on Top 40 but also have much racier lyrical content. So far it seems that Hilary Duff is the only Disney star to have eluded this problem. I think it?s time for radio to allow some clean cut, wholesome youngsters a chance to offer some positive entertainment to our youth. We shouldn?t be forced to listen to crap when there are other alternatives out there.
People have predicted that Kelly Clarkson would be given some stiff competition from Disney channel star Miley Cirus once her ?Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley? album drops. And wouldn?t you know it? They were right.
Kelly Clarkson?s critically bashed new album ?My December? lost the number 1 slot on the US album charts to Miley. Kelly?s last album ?Breakaway? sold over 6 million copies in the US alone and was a certified hit. She?ll be lucky if her latest release even sells a fourth of that.
According to the charts, ?My December? only sold 300,089 copies on its debut week while Miley?s CD sold 322,924 units on its debut week. Congrats to Miley and a ?try harder next time? goes out to Kelly.
American Idol rocker Chris Daughtry has scored the biggest-selling record in America of 2007 after sailing past the three million sales mark with his debut, Daughtry. The success also gives Daughtry the fastest-selling rock debut in the 16-year history of the Billboard album chart’s sales tracking system. Daughtry admits he has been struggling to come to terms with his success since the album hit the one million sales mark. Good for your Chris.. Don?t let the fame screw with your head. The album has also been certified triple platinum and is the fifth best-selling digital release of all time. It?s a rare thing for a singer to have such huge success with his debut album becoming the fastest selling rock album and 5th best selling digital release of all time. Looks like now there must be no looking back for him and this should be a stepping stone for him as he looks forward to more success.
With all four members ensconced in solo projects, the Black Eyed Peas have been unusually dormant in 2007. And singer Fergie says it may be that way for a little while longer.
?We don?t have an album yet, a Black Eyed Peas album?, she tells Billboard.com. ?We haven?t had time; everybody?s been constantly working, as we always do. But we will have an album. We?re not going away.?
The group won?t be completely invisible this year. The quartet will perform at the London Live Earth concert on July 7 and at Japan?s Summer Sonic Festival on Aug. 11 in Tokyo and Aug. 12 in Osaka.
The group is also planning a special tour for later this year. ?It?s 15 different countries featuring 15 shows in some pretty unique places?, she says. ?So that?s going to be exciting. This will have been the longest time we have not performed together, so it?ll be a nice reunion.?
Fergie, who joined the Peas in 2002, reports that bandmates will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo are all working on solo albums, all of which are on target to be released before the end of the year. But Fergie isn?t concerned about the group breaking up- even in the wake of the success of her solo debut, ?The Dutchess? which has sold nearly two million copies in the U.S. according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Fergie plans to spend the bulk of 2007 on the road, either on her own or with BEP. She?s currently ?knee-deep? in a tour sponsored by Verizon Wireless and supporting ?Big Girls Don?t Cry? the fourth single from ?The Duchess?. She expects more singles to pop off the album but says at this point it?s anybody?s guess which will be released.
?I love ?Mary Jane?s Shoes? that kind of chill girl thing?, says Fergie. ?Or maybe ?Clumsy? a throwback to oldies. I?d just like to get as much music out there as possible so that I can show as many sides of myself as possible and so people can discover that there?s something on the album for them.?
