New JLo Album

Amanda — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:55:21 +0000

Jennifer Lopez may have parted ways with Sony Music Epic Records but the singer has already found a new label to work with. In a statement released to one of her fan sites, JLo said “I know my fans have been wondering what’s been going on with my album. I have been in the process of a transition and now I am happy that all the issues have been resolved and I have found a new home. I have fulfilled my contractual obligations to Sony/Epic and felt it was time to move on. It was an amicable split not as the media will paint it out to be. I have been with Sony for many years and we achieved great success together. During this period I never stopped the creative process and my album ‘Love?’ will still be released in the summer of 2010 as planned.”

Rihanna getting ready for a new release

Amanda — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 23:30:17 +0000

Since Justin Timberlake is probably laying low for a while and Matt Kemp is not such a sure bet, it looks like there’s nothing left for Rihanna to do but work. And she has good reason to do so as her last album, “Rated R”, didn’t do so well. So it’s off to the recording studio with Rihanna once more to work on an album that will apparently get released somewhere this Summer. Rihanna assures her fans that this time the music will be less heavy and more fun and cheerful. It looks like Rihanna got tired of playing artist pretty quickly and is going back to making music for the industry. Well, she has to make a living out of something!

Good Charlotte wipe latest offering Cardiology

Amanda — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:08:31 +0000

Good Charlotte have gone back to the drawing board on their latest album.

Benji Madden said the decision was tough to scrap the band’s new album. But when he and his brother Joel returned from Australia, they were not happy with the final product.

Madden on the band’s website explains, “When we got back from the last trip to Australia, we had pretty much finished recording the record. I went into the studio to hear some roughs and it just wasn’t right. I couldn’t figure it out. I was so lost. I love the songs, I love the lyrics, so what was the problem. I was just so bewildered. Devastated actually. This had never happened. I felt crazy. Like this. I told our manager to just PAUSE everything and I need time to think. I called all the boys immediately and called an emergency meeting. Everyone sat down. And I just said ‘Guys, we gotta start over’.”

The album was to be titled Cardiology. Madden added: “I was expecting everyone to freak on me and say ‘What?!’ But Billy (Martin) was the first to speak, and right away he said ‘I knew you were gonna say that. My gut is telling me the same thing. Let’s do it.’ Everyone agreed.”

Mariah Carey’s New Album Pushed Back

Amanda — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 23:51:58 +0000

Mariah Carey’s new album ‘Angels Advocate’ has been pushed back from its original release date of February 23rd to March 9th. Does no one have faith in the diva and her music anymore? What’s the hold up anyway? Actually, scratch that. I didn’t even know that she was making a new album much less that it was about to get released. And frankly, I don’t really care. Honestly, I think she should just give up now while she still has even the tiniest bit of dignity left in her. But then again, even that is beginning to look questionable. The only good thing to happen to her this past year is being in the movie ‘Precious’.

Amanda — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 02:24:49 +0000

The soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: New Moon has shot to the top of the US album charts in further testiment to Twilight fever.

The Twilight soundtrack, which is indie-rock in flavour, is expected to keep selling robustly as Michael Jackson’s This Is It soundtrack eventually gains force.

After debuting on the charts at number two last week, the soundtrack sold more than 155,000 copies in three days.

The bands Death Cab For Cutie, The Killers, Grizzly Bear are featured on the album, which does not include anything by series heart-throb Robert Pattinson.

4 Diva CDs

Amanda — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 21:21:30 +0000

It’s going to be a battle of the divas on September 29th as four very different CDs will be available for purchase on that one specific date. Madonna’s latest collection of hits ‘Celebration’, Barbra Streisand’s classic ballad album ‘Love is the Answer’, Mariah Carey’s twice delayed ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’ and Heidi Montag’s self-titled debut album will all be dropping on that date. Just looking at that list of names and you can already tell which ones are going to sell and which are going to flop. But first, let me rephrase what I said as battle of the divas. It’s battle of the divas and a wannabe. Take your pick.

New Norah Jones

Amanda — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 21:19:28 +0000

After a two year hiatus from the music scene, Norah Jones will be gracing our ears and airwaves with more of her music and it’s being said that it’s going to be different than that jazz stuff that we’re used to when it comes to her. The singer has apparently spent the last 2 years writing and experimenting with new sounds, collaborating with the likes of Ryan Adams, Okkervil River’s Will Sheff, and Jesse Harris. Perhaps the biggest change is that Norah has ditched her piano in favor of the guitar for most of the tracks. The singer talked of the album saying “I knew I wanted to try some different things on this album. I’d been playing with the same musicians for a long time. We’re all still friendly and I hope we play together again, but it felt like a good time to work with new people and experiment with different sounds.” The album is due out in November.

Whitney Houston Album Comes Out Soon

Amanda — Tue, 12 May 2009 20:27:37 +0000

A source has recently come out with the amazing news that Whitney Houston will be gracing her patiently waiting fans with a new album very soon. An insider close to the project says that the singer is in the final recording stages of the album. She’s been working with Harvey Mason Jr. Whitney is also said to be having an album cover shoot scheduled for later this week with legendary photographer Patrick Demarchelier. That’s such great news! I’ve always been a fan of hers. She has been gone for way too long and it’s about time that she shows the rest of the wannabe divas what the word really means.

Christina Aguilera Goes to the Movies

Amanda — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 18:15:19 +0000

Christina Aguilera may be getting an acting gig soon. And not just any acting gig. The 28-year old singer may even end up as the lead actress in an upcoming big screen movie. Christina is in negotiations to play a modern-day dancer in ‘Burlesque’, a movie written by Steven Antin, the brother of Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin. Her singing persona definitely supports that role. I wonder if they can get Dita Von Teese to appear in the movie too or at least give Christina some tips. In the meantime, Christina’s anticipated and as yet untitled album is due out this Summer/Fall 2009.

21st Century Breakdown, which will be released by Reprise Records worldwide on May 15th, is the best-selling trio’s first studio album since 2004’s two-time Grammy Award-winning punk-rock opera American Idiot, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart, spawned five hit singles, and went on to sell more than 12 million copies worldwide. In a recent feature, Rolling Stone called 21st Century Breakdown “even more ambitious than American Idiot” and “a record of die-hard punk ideals…tightly scripted, continually ascending classic-rock excitement.”
