    New Music: Selena Gomez Featuring Pixie Lott

    0

    Since it seems like the US isn’t going to get a full Pixie Lott album, promo tour, or anything really… the least I can do is post about projects that she’s a part of. That’s something, right? No, I’m not bitter at all!

    Selena Gomez & the Scene are about to release their new album and Pixie co-wrote and is prominently featured in one single titled “We Own The Night”. Take a listen below:

    Based on how strong Pixie’s vocals are, you’d actually think this was her song, not Selena’s, but it is what it is. I’m just glad to hear her voice again. Been writing about her here since “Mama Do”.

    When The Sun Goes Down hits stores on June 28th. If you’re a stateside Pixie fan, like me, be sure to purchase the single from your preferred music download outlet.

    Skylar Grey’s First Single Is Anything But ‘Invisible’

    0

    Skylar Grey - Invisible

    Now, that’s what I’m talking about!

    Skylar Grey premiered her official lead single to Invinsibile, called “Invisible”. Don’t get too confused, now! And it sounds absolutely nothing like “Dance Without You”, which I still haven’t been able to warm up to. So this is a good thing to me even though I respect the hell out of Skylar’s creativity on that track. I just thought the production drowned out and took attention away from her voice, which I absolutely adore.

    Some buzz singles are just a way for artists to try something really out there to get people talking. Similarly, JoJo has just announced that her recently released track, “The Other Chick” was also a buzz single.

    “Invisible” is a wonderful pure pop song that I’ve been longing for lately. Katy Perry and Lady Gaga have been doing their parts, but let’s be honest. They’re outnumbered!

    Peep Skylar’s new and infectious single below. Hope it gets the attention and spins it deserves!

    Chris Brown Covers The Source Magazine

    The Source Magazine feat. Chris Brown

    All the blogs are buzzin with this long awaited cover for Chris Brown. Yes, this is his first one of the year, but really, what’d you expect? The print media had to see how his new album fared before taking that risk. It is what it is. And like I’ve said before, Breezy has been staying on his grind this year. Working hard and I guess that’s being rewarded now. No shade from JMF. Do ya thang, boi!

    Skylar Grey Reveals Album Title

    0

    Skylar Grey

    The constant teasing all led to this: the announcement that Skylar Grey’s album is called Invinsibile. No, not invisible, or invincible; but invinsible. She did this on purpose! But she should be prepared for months of misspellings of her album title. Just sayin’.

    The official press release also provides song titles such as “Weirdo,” “Building A Monster” and “Final Warning”.

    “I have been working so hard with Alex on this music; I’m excited it’s finally going to be out there for everyone to hear. I won’t have to describe it anymore, because the music can finally speak for itself,” says Grey. “Also, I’m very influenced by film and it is my hope that when people listen to my music, they are consumed with vast, cinematic imagery.”

    Still intrigued and still allowing “Dance Without You” to grow on me. Keep on, keepin’ on Miss Grey!

    New Single Came To Vanessa Carlton In Her Sleep

    0

    Vanessa Carlton

    I often have messed up dreams. And sometimes, those dreams contain dreams and ideas that wake me up. But, unlike Vanessa Carlton, my ideas don’t turn into great works of arts like a beautiful single.

    In an interview with AfterEllen.com, Nessa describes the process she went through, in writing the melody and lyrics for her current single, “Carousel”.

    Yeah. I have these dream songs and they’re wonderful dreams, but then you wake up and they’re crap songs — they’re not great. Or I forget them because they’re just snippets of your subconscious, I guess. I don’t know. But this one, I just woke up with that singing line in my head [hums melody] and I love that. So I went out, at 3:30 in the morning, and played it on the piano and put it on my Garage Band and then went back to bed. But I couldn’t go back to sleep so I just lay there and the lyrics kind of slid in and I wrote it just with my thumbs on my Blackberry, in the dark. And the next morning I woke up and I forgot that the whole thing went down. I just thought the whole thing was a dream. Then I went and checked my iTunes and I played it the little demo I made and it had really happened. And it was a really kind of lovely.

    You can not like Vanessa Carlton’s music, but if you’re not impressed by how she created this song, then I think you need to reevaluate your music IQ.

    Read the full interview to learn more about the process Nessa went through in freeing herself from labels and creating Rabbits On The Run, as well as her thoughts on coming out as bisexual last year.

    Skylar Grey Announces Buzz Single, “Dance Without You”

    0

    Skylar Grey is such a tease! She doesn’t wanna give none of us any info about her upcoming release! Deflects questions right and left!

    While details for her upcoming album are still scarce, Skylar has announced that she will be releasing a buzz single called “Dance Without You”.

    All this teasing is hopefully going to pay off with an amazing record. But wait, what if it doesn’t? What if it underwhelms? Skylar wouldn’t do that to us? Would she? NAAAAHHHH!

    Can’t wait to hear “Dance Without You”!

    Vanessa Carlton Touring with Matchbox Twenty?

    0

    Vanessa Carlton

    Miss Carlton has already announced a small, intimate tour (my favorite kind) to support the release of Rabbits On The Run. I was initially bummed because the dates didn’t include anything near me. And I still am.

    Then, while making the rounds today, I stumbled across a Matchbox 20 tour date that listed Nessa as the opening act. It’s legit!

    On July 9th, the day after her solo tour ends, she’ll open for MB20 at a special show at the Pechanga Theater (Pechanga Resort & Casino) in Temecula, CA. FYI, Tickets are already on sale.

    Right now it just looks like a one-off event, because the band isn’t doing a full tour either. But more dates popped up, I wouldn’t complain! I enjoy MB20, but I’d obviously be going specifically to see Vanessa. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time I’ve gone to a show where the opener was the sole reason for my attendance!

    I’ll be keeping an eye on matchboxtwenty.com just in case!

    Another Nessa live performance date has popped up as well. On July 22, she’ll open for Five for Fighting at the Ravinia Festival in Chicago. That’s closer to me, than any of the others, but still not close enough. I’ll cross my fingers for more dates to pop up!

    But really, as long as she’s getting out there and performing for somebody, that’s all I can ask for as a longtime fan. The title of this post may seem a bit misleading, but what’s wrong with wishful thinking? That’s what I thought!

    Have a nice day!
