Alesha has posted this message on her MySpace: "Currently I am in the studio making a fresh album due for release in 2008. It's going fantastic, I can't wait for you to hear it ..." this is not very good for her fans (including myself) as this means that her debut album will not be released this year and I only pray to God that Knockdown, Superficial and Lipstick still make the final cut on the new album! What do you think?
Chris Brown's latest album is not loking good for the youngster! His new single 'Wall To Wall' has failed to make an impact in America and the video which goes with it is awful (in my opinion - many of you like it!)! The new single peaked at number 79 on the Billboard 100 but has already dropped to number 88 showing a lack of interest in the track! Jive records are apparently keen to gather up interest in Chris again by releasing a Stargate track soon, which has been described as a male version of 'Irreplaceable'! Will the album still be released Auguts 27/8? I don't know! What do you make of Chris's new material?
Timbaland has threatened to QUIT the music industry as he is bored with the industry! He claims that he is 'too innovative for the world' and that 'Musiv is boring right now'! I really hope he doesn't quit/retire from the music industry as whenever I hear that a track is produced by Timbaland, I know i'm gonna love the beat! His production is always amazing, and just look at Nelly Furtado, she wouldn't be where she is now if it wasn't for him! He has said this though, "I've been doing it so long, I'm about to throw in the towel. I'm about to de-crown myself and pass it over to one of the up-and-coming producers under me. They won't be able to be me - there's only one Timbaland - but there's a certain sound that I try to teach." This is quite sad news, what do you make of the news?
Fergie turned down the chance to perform with Justin Timberlake on Sunday so that she could perform at the Concert For Diana! The singer had been due to appear with Timberlake at a gig in Dublin, but snubbed Justin for the opportunity to perform at the Concert For Diana organised by the Princes, according to reports. Rapper 50 Cent ended up being called in as a last minute replacement for the star. Ferguson commented: "I guess I owe 50 a favour!" I personally think she should have stuck with Justin as she was a bit of a mess on Sunday! 'Big Girls Don't Cry' was decent but 'Glamorous' was awful!
Talking about Justin and 50, the pair according to reports in The Sun (UK Newspaper) reveal that the song, which has the working title 'Ayo Technology', is about watching dirty films. The single will feature on 50 Cent's forthcoming album Curtis. A source said: "The track is an analogy for watching porn. The word 'technology' was put in as a way to replace what they really wanted to say - 'pornography'."It's all about being fed up with having to make do watching dirty movies and how desperate they are for stunning girls to be in front of them doing what they do in the movies."The pair are set to shoot a video with LA video director Joseph Kahn, in London, this weekend. I cannot wait to her this track, and what;s more see the video! Keep it locked here to see/hear it FIRST!
James Morrison has revealed that his second album will have a new rock sound.The singer admitted that he was "naive" when he recorded debut album Undiscovered, which reached the top of the UK charts last year. He is now planning to make some edgier music after developing his electric guitar skills."I really feel that I was quite naive when I was making my first album, so I would love to go back and record it all again," James told the Daily Star (UK Newspaper), "I'm happy with it, but I want to take on board all that I've learned from playing the songs live and then use that in the studio to make some proper rock 'n' roll music."I'm working on new stuff and have been messing around with the electric guitar. I'm not going to turn into Jimi Hendrix or anything like that, but I will up the noise a little." I think that this is good news! I really like his debut album which was released last summer, and I agree that upping the noise level would benefit the record! I hope the album is released soon, and also how heartfelt was his performance on Sunday at the Concert For Diana?
Nelly has changed the title to his new album from 'The Prelude' to 'Brass Knuckles'. When asked why he has named the album 'Brass Knuckles' he says it's because that best describes the how hard this record is gonna hit people! I am really looking forward to this album, but I hope that 'Cut It Out' doesn't make the final cut! ...
