HOTEST Album : The Renaissance from Q-Tip

Q-Tip - The Renaissance

While 1999’s Amplified was the last full album that Q-Tip actually released, it certainly wasn’t the last one he made. His career since then has been a harsh lesson in Industry Rule #4080 with three entire albums that were reduced to bootleg collectors items and two random singles that never actually made it to a real LP.

Ultimately, the check-writers didn’t feel that Q-Tip’s "Abstract" art projects would meet the expectations of fans who were still looking for more Tribe and he struggled to get his hard work into anyone’s hands.With the history leading up to it,

The Renaissance could have easily become a train wreck had Tip chosen to compromise his artistic vision simply for the sake of getting an album in stores. Those familiar with any of his false starts might initially assume that he’s done just that but thankfully, the return to traditional Hip Hop doesn't come off like a compromise with Universal he’s apparently legitimately interested in expressing himself through rhyme again."Gettin' Up" is no bait-and-switch single and the rest of The Renaissance generally follows suit. The clean, well-edited 12-song lineup doesn’t leave him much room to get lost in his own imagination so the overall effect leaves the intended impression. Because Q-Tip still approaches each track with a desire to innovate, the music feels new even while nodding to his roots. The captivating and radiant “You” could have been released at any point in Tip’s career and still felt natural and relevant. Resisting the temptation to wax about how "the game done changed," Tip takes the next step and actually demonstrates how the music can move forward without losing what was great about the past. “Life is Better” gives love to Ludacris [click to read] and Lil Wayne as sincerely as Dana Dane and Schoolly D.

The only slight misstep is “ManWomanBoogie” with Amanda Diva [click to read], but it shuffles around something interesting even if it never quite settles there.Q-Tip’s latest actually manages to find the intersection of the desires of the artist, the office and the fans. It is important to point out, however, that while the spirit of Tribe still lingers in this reincarnation of The Abstract, it's quite a bit more like The Love Movement than Midnight Marauders. Before you jump to any conclusions though, remember that time has helped thaw that album's undeservedly icy reception disregarding The Renaissance when you don’t hear “Scenario 2008” will only make you feel silly when you finally learn to appreciate it in 2018.

TI feat Rihanna : Live Your Life Song

T.I. goes the cinematic route in this new video for his hit single, "Live Your Life," where Rihanna lends her vocal on the hook. Aided by director Anthony Mandler, the music video captures T.I. as a troubled man getting involved with mafia and Rihanna as a nightclub singer.
For those who might obsess over where they last heard the song`s introduction and sample, look no further than Moldovan pop group O-Zone, and their #1 European hit single, "Dragostea din tei".

T.I. is enlisting a host of today’s hottest stars to help him pump up his new album Paper Trail in stores September 30. He’s got arguably the hottest chick in the pop game on a new leaked track “Live Your Life.” That chick? Yeah, you know who: Rihanna (because the picture didn’t give it away). Even some of the biggest hip hop heads are calling this track a stand out on the album. It’s definitely radio perfect.

Maysa - Metamorphosis New album for JAZZ sensation

Out today across the USA, ‘Metamorphosis’ is the seventh solo CD from singing sensation Maysa Leak. Variously produced by Rex Rideout, Chris ‘Big Dog’ Davis and the Jason Miles – DJ Logic pairing of Global Noize it offers twelve sumptuous tracks that ooze sophistication and which feature notable contributions from some of the leading contemporary jazz session players around today.

This is particularly well demonstrated by the opening track ‘Simpatico’ where thumping bass from Melvin Davis and the drums of Michael White provide a rhythmic platform from which Leak proffers her soulful tones. It’s a number on which Rex Rideout, both as producer and keyboard player, really excels and much the same can be said of Chris Davis with ‘Take Me Away’ where Maysa seamlessly blends a cool sample of Jean Carn’s ‘Don’t Let It Go To Your Head’ into this emotional smoker. Of course since the early nineties, when she auditioned for the band by phone, Maysa has been famous for being one of the voices of Incognito. The complex yet compelling ‘Happy Feelings’ evokes her best Incognito moments as does ‘Never Really Ever’ for which Rex Rideout again plays a part. Both tracks contrast nicely with the gentle deconstructed splendour of ‘Love So True’ while also in turned down mode is the silkily soulful ‘I Need A Man’.

Earlier this year producer and keyboard player Jason Miles collaborated with DJ Logic on a project they named Global Noize. Here Leak taps into their hip rhythmic and eclectic style with ‘A Conversation With The Universe’ that she co-writes and performs with them. The tune’s world vibe represents a tasty departure from the Maysa norm and when, with ‘Walk Away’, she finds the ideal R & B ballad it’s a cool arrangement from Ledisi that incorporates a stunning brass infused play out line which comes courtesy of Melvin Jones on trumpet.

Dedicated to her mother and co-written by Leak, Rideout and the excellent Michael Ripoll, ‘Grateful’ is illuminated by Ripoll’s wonderful acoustic guitar and when Maysa turns to Najee on flute for ‘My Destiny’ he strikes the perfect chord with which to complement her picture perfect delivery. Najee is joined by Nick Colionne for ‘Higher Love’ where together they weave some exquisitely jazzy patterns that underpin Leak’s zesty Latin tinged vocal and Colionne returns to lead off what proves to be a staggering three minute ten second guitar introduction to the outstanding ‘Lets Figure It Out’. In the expert hands of producer Chris Davis this superb slice of chill out music evolves both into a feisty dance floor filler and the album’s best track.

‘Metamorphosis’ is an impressive collection of all-original material that may well be the album to take Maysa to the next level of appreciation. Check it out.

English rock band Oasis : I`m Outta Time Music Video

"I'm Outta Time" is a song by English rock band Oasis written by lead vocalist Liam Gallagher. It will be the 2nd single from their album
"Dig Out Your Soul" and is set to be released on 1st December 2008. The song has been praised as one of the highlights from the album, with many fans praising it as well as the band themselves, with Noel Gallagher calling it "deceptively brilliant".
The song also features a short speech sample from John Lennon taken from one of his very last interviews. The speech sample says: "As Churchill said, it's every Englishman's inalienable right to live where the hell he likes. What's it going to do, vanish? Is it not going to be there when I get back?".
The psychedelic video shows Liam Gallagher as a traveller, on a journey through an enchanted wilderness. The video also features Liam walking through the model village in bourton-on-the-water. Early reports claimed that Liam was seen walking though a river strapped to a parachute, though this has not been featured in the video. Somebody falling from a parachute can be seen towards the end.
Like the video for "The Shock Of The Lightning" it features an Owl and a Butterfly.

Enrique Iglesias - Away Song NEW Released song "Greatest Hits" album

"Away" is a pop song from singer Enrique Iglesias. It is the first single from his greatest hits album "Greatest Hits". The song features Sean Garrett and is directed by Anthony Mandler, the same guy who helped making Rihanna's "Rehab" music video.
Enrique, about the album: "The new songs on this album add a new flavour to my sound; 'Away' has got, like, an urban/pop ballad sound to it, and 'Takin' Back My Love' sounds like a real Euro pop/dance kinda thing, so I'm still playing around with my sound and style. I just hope my fans continue to enjoy what I'm prepared to give them -- I wanna give them everything."

Pink - So What Music Video HOT ROCK PINK PINK !

"So What" is a song written by American pop singer Pink, Max Martin and Shellback for her forthcoming fifth studio album called "Funhouse", of which it will be the first single.

"So What" explicitly deals with life after marriage as Pink makes several references to her divorce of Corey Hart after his rumored infidelity.

Dave Meyers has been tapped to direct the video for "So What". Pink previously worked with him for the videos to "U + Ur Hand" and "Stupid Girls", which earned MTV Video Music Award for Best Pop Video.

If you're unaware of recent developments in Pink's personal life, her new single will bring you bang up to date. "I guess I just lost my husband, I don't know where he went," go the opening lines, "So I'm gonna drink my money, I'm not gonna pay his rent." That's right, 'So What' is a break-up song.
Specifically, it's a brash, childish, defiant and rather tongue-in-cheek break-up song. It's also a break-up song that lots of people will be singing along to, thanks to a typically stonking pop/rock chorus courtesy of Max Martin. But Pink's brilliance here shouldn't be underestimated. Who else would think to do something like this? Who else could pull it off? And who else could persuade the ex-hubby she calls a "tool" on the chorus to appear in the video?

Not so much a pop song as a blitzkrieg on the brain, "So What" is the catchiest, brashest, most boisterous thing either Pink or producer Max Martin have ever recorded. Some feat when you consider that they've written songs as insanely infectious as "Oops! I Did It Again", "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)", "Since U Been Gone", "Get The Party Started" and "Just Like A Pill" between them.

Over a bubblegum riff that could have been swiped from cult kid's TV show "Rhoobarb and Custard", Pink snarls at ex-husband Corey Hart and swaggers around challenging bystanders to a fight, before detonating a trashy, thrashy thermonuclear of a chorus. And though part of you wishes she would set the bratty "f*ck you" attitude aside long enough to write another song as honest, vulnerable and heart-rending as "Don't Let Me Get Me", another part will thrill at the sheer dumb delirium of it. It's already Number One in the US, Australia and Canada, so if you don't like day-glo pop-punk you should probably find a bunker to hide in right now.

The Last Shadow Puppets - My Mistakes Were Made For You Music Video

The Last Shadow Puppets release their new single 'My Mistakes Were Made For You' on Monday the 20th of October 2008. Taken from their Mercury nominated 'The Age Of The Understatement' album, 'My Mistakes Were Made For You' features the London Metropolitan Orchestra, conducted by Owen Pallet.

The video for 'My Mistakes Were Made For You' was shot at Pinewood studios and directed by Richard Ayoade. It shows the leather-clad duo in the forest amidst fog and the tailights of a crashed car.

The Last Shadow Puppets’ Understatement

Cinematic maneuvers in my brain and wild horses. Widescreen audio. Rumbling drums. Gainsbourg-like orchestrations. Room to wander. Ecstatic backing voices. The London touch of symphonia. Bigger drums. Offenders.

I don’t think anyone would have expected these collected guys, known as The Last Shadow Puppets, to produce a work like The Age Of the Understatement. Although on second thought, maybe not based upon the hyperkinetics of The Arctic Monkeys. But hey, what about their clever songs and witty lyrics?

The boys with different strategies

Talking about an understatement

Only the truth they reckon they hold

Katy Perry : More Hot for I Kissed a Girl Music Video

Katy Perry

Every so often there comes along an artist who is everywhere. Omnipresent. Pervasive. Ubiquitous. A year ago, it was Rihanna. Right now, that artist is Katy Perry.


Her hit single “I Kissed a Girl,” with its bi-curious lyrics and impossibly hummable hook, has put Katy on the lips (no pun intended) of, well, just about everybody. The song, lifted from her debut pop album One of the Boys, has reached #1 in the United States on The Billboard Hot 100, and top charts in Canada, the U.K. and elsewhere. People just LOVE this song.


But there are people who hate it, too. There are those who think the lyrics are an affront to her Christian upbringing, since she’s the daughter of two pastors and began her recording career as a Christian artist. There are those who find the lyrics homophobic (along with those of her song, “Ur So Gay”). And there are those who don’t think it was a song that should have gotten her pop-song-singing-butt placed on a prominent stage on this summer’s Warped! Tour.




Not that she cares. Why? Because the 23-year-old, guitar-slingin’, Travis McCoy-datin’, pop star is the “it” girl of the moment.


She’s confident, funny, sassy, and damn, if she’s not talented, too. Her performance of “I Kissed a Girl” brought down the house on FNMTV a few weeks back (watch it after the jump). And on that aforementioned Warped! tour, she’s been turning young punks into pop converts all summer long.


As of late, she’s back in her element, touring the country on the mtvU Video Music Awards Tour with Boys Like Girls, All Time Low and Metro Station. And that makes sense, too, because Katy is nominated for two 2008 MTV Video Music Awards! “I Kissed a Girl” vaulted her into the Best Female Video category amidst clips from the likes of Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Britney Spears and Jordin Sparks.


The “Kissed” video also nailed Katy Perry a Best New Artist nomination. In that category, she’s competing against a slew of household names like Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Jordin Sparks and Tokio Hotel. You like her, right? Well if you do, you should totally cast a vote for her, because fans are deciding who takes this Moonman home. You can vote on MTV.com’s Best New Artist voting page. You can also cast 10 votes every time you play the Moonman Entourage game on MTV.com.


Anyway, it was just a few days ago out on the mtvU Video Music Awards Tour that we caught up with Katy to chat about all things Katy Perry. You’ll be seeing the fruits of that on-stage conversation all over MTV for the next week. You can also watch the spots on MTV.com, but just not yet.


In the meantime, you can check out a gallery of photos from the shoot. Watch the “I Kissed a Girl” video below, along with that FNMTV live performance. In a few days we’ll post some of those on-air promos here, too. In the meantime, check out Katy’s MTV.com artist page for a round up of just about everything we’ve got on Ms. P.


Oh, and remember what we said about her being funny? If you haven’t been following along, you’ve missed a helluva set of Katy Perry tour diaries that she did for Buzzworthy. The most recent one has her rockin’ a lady ’stache, while this one had her sharing her tips for coping as the only girl on the road, while another one shows off her boobs.

PREVIEW >>>>>>>

I never really post anything that isn’t sent to me by “trusted” people but I came across this in a certain forum and thought since it was a SLOW news day I’d post it up. Below is a track by track review given by someone who has heard music that is aimed to be included on T-Pain’s new album, Thr33 Ringz.
Track review (not a final tracklist!)

Thr33 Rings Intro - Big intro to the album, serious beat and T-Pain rapping hard
Ring Leader Man - Slow Banger
Long Lap Dance Song - Stripper song
Keep Going - T-Pain says this is one of the three tunes on my album without autotuner. Very simple production with acoustic guitar, definitely one of the highlights it’s a tribute to his children, got the best reception from the room. Show’s his reflective side
Badside - Another highlight talking about wanting to see a girls badside, club banger
Secret Admirer
Silver and Gold - The 1st single, T-Pain says it wasn’t meant to be the first single but because of it’s response when it got leaked it’s too big to stop!
Snap Yo Fingers - Buy U A Drink pt 2, big tune
Superstar Lady - Another Highlight, talks about creating a super lady (stomach of Ciara…..). T-Pain says he wanted Kanye West on this but jokingly says Kanye’s being a jerk cos he likes another track
Therapy - Track Kanye West likes and might be on, another big tune!
Secret Admirer
Ecstasy - slow sexual song very big!
****ing Sweat - track about having a great time with a girl, another highlight
It Aint Me feat Bow Wow - Bashment sort of dance song
Karaoke feat Dj Khaled - definite highlight, T-Pain add’s this is probably his favourite track says it’s gonna be the last track on the album, strong diss track where he’s rapping about people biting his style, he says the only people that can do it are Lil Wayne and Kanye West , shows respect to Roger Troutman too. The song starts of with him apologising to Akon and his management, he add’s this is due to them not wanting him to air people out.
Can’t Believe It feat Lil Wayne - 2nd single, very summery melodic track. Another highlight
Dance For Me feat Busta Rhymes
Chopped And Screwed feat Ludacris (he’s currently recording his verse) - THIS IS A BANGER! Needs to be a single, the beat is crazy, heavy basslined chopped and screwed beat with chopped up chorus, the track is massive!

T-Pain also had this to say in a recent Interview(video coming soon):

Other projects coming up including a best of both worlds album with Lil Wayne
‘This summer I’m touring with Keyshia Cole, Danity Kane and Lil Wayne I’m looking forward to that, that should be sweet! I’m also doing a best of both worlds sort of album with Lil Wayne which we’re starting in October, we’ve done a few bits already though. Timbaland is gonna be getting involved with that, I think he’s gonna be executive producing it. It’s gonna be called ‘He Rap He Sing’ cos we both rap and sing. The name of the group is T-Wayne which is self explanatory (laughs). I’ve got loads more features coming up as well, but I’m shutting that down soon.’

MTV >>> T-Pain Brings His Thr33 Ringz Circus To NYC Listening Party

Both UniverSoul and Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey can fold up their tents, cage their tigers, shave their bearded ladies and tell their clowns to wash the paint from their happy little faces. They've been upstaged: T-Pain has the flyest circus in town.

On Thursday night, the new king of hip-hop and R&B guest hooks brought his Southern sideshow swagger to Manhattan, unveiling his third LP, Thr33 Ringz.

Popcorn and hot dogs were served while a big-top announcer urged everyone to "step right up" outside the venue, Swing 46. A colorfully dressed midget greeted patrons at the door, and a few feet from the open bar, cotton candy was served. Before Pain made his entrance, Lil Jon arrived looking as joyful as ever, now that his long-labored label problems were solved with a new deal several days back (a "content partnership" deal with the Orchard).

But on to the star attraction: Pain arrived and hugged the King of Crunk while making light of the fact that they looked alike, with their dreads and Oakley sunglasses. The head of Jive Records, Barry Weiss, took the stage to introduce one of the new cornerstones of his label.

"We're gonna f--- people up with this album. We're gonna shift the paragon. ... October 28, muthaf---ers!" he proudly predicted of the album's release.

Teddy P. (not to be confused with his baby-blue, six-and-half-foot mascot, Teddy Penderazdoun) later grabbed the mic and joked, "All the people that don't drink that's leavin' early, to hell with y'all."

As the album began to play, a skit commenced: two disgruntled funnymen griping about the job. "Two clowns that work for my circus that have never worked for a more f---ed-up circus than mine," T-Pain explained.

"I'm bringing new elephants, new tigers, new tat men, new strong men," he said later. "I'm bringing color."

The LP's first actual song was "Ringleader Man," which he performed a portion of on the BET Awards. Shortly after was "Therapy," a record that re-teams Pain and his "Good Life" co-star Kanye West. The song is about "all the crazy b----s that just don't have no sense," he told the crowd. He gave an example of meeting a stripper at her place of business. The girl was so nutty, he offered her $20 to shut up.

"This ain't the way I wanted it to end, but I gotta go," he sings on the track. "You still gotta your sh-- together, girl/ Shawty, you ain't gotta be scared of me/ All we need is therapy."

Kanye brings satire and current events to the song, making a naughty Obama reference by saying that the girl he rhymes about wanted to "[emasculate him] like Jesse Jackson."

"You too much pressure, dog," he adds. "You about to raise my cholesterol."

"Freeze" features Chris Brown and basically tells the ladies that if they can dance like Pain and his teenage buddy, they have a great chance of getting with the guys. Pain made a sexual reference while describing the record that elicited gasps from some crowd members.

"Chopped and Screwed" has a cameo from Ludacris. It's about going messed-up in the head after somebody breaks up with you. 'Cris does bring his patented lightheartedness, though: "Have you praising the lord like, 'Thank you! Thank you! I really wanna thank you!"

"Karaoke" takes aim at all the rappers and singers who have started using the Auto-Tune effect on their voices since Pain gave it its resurgence. DJ Khaled comes on to cheer him on: "Y'all a bunch of karaoke-f----in' n---as," The Miami DJ yells. Pain actually raps most of the record.

Other guests on the album include Bow Wow, Rick Ross and the singing symphony of Musiq Soulchild, Anthony Hamilton and Raheem DeVaughn on "Super Soul Song (Reality Show)."

Pain wrote and produced the entire LP, and he's still recording. Most of the tracks are around the mid-tempo range and play nicely to Teddy's mastery of vocal melody. The video for the first single, "Can't Believe It," also debuted at the party. It's a colorful, imaginative buffet of eye candy that focuses on performances and special effects. Lil Wayne co-stars.

Thr33 Ringz drops this fall. Prior to releasing it, T-Pain is putting out a mixtape called Pr33 Ringz.

Rihanna More HOT in Disturbia Music Video

The new music video from R 'n' B singer Rihanna for her latest single "Disturbia" has finally been premiered on July 21. The clip was shot in Los Angeles starting from June 29 under the helm of renown director David LaChapelle, who has also worked with the likes of Christina Aguilera and Gwen Stefani before.

The new video seems trying to capture the meaning of the song by picturing a dark and disturbing people's behavior. Rihanna herself was shot in some different background on the clip, such as being trapped in a cage, singing and dancing inside a bed frame and sitting on a chair with her hand and leg chained.

The song itself is one of the new tracks that were included on Rihanna's latest repackaged LP "Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded", that was dropped on June 17. "Disturbia" is also a special track for the R 'n' B singer as it was actually written by her rumored boyfriend Chris Brown with the help of two of his friends Andre Merritt and Robert Allen. Before releasing "Disturbia", Rihanna has already spawned two other singles, "Take A Bow" and "If I Never See Your Face Again" featuring Maroon 5.

Beside promoting her re-released LP, the "Umbrella" hit maker reportedly has already had an idea for a new studio album. Previously in an interview, the singer stated that she wants to work with Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse and Duffy on her new record.

Update 2008-07-24: According to Def Jam's official site the video is directed by Anthony Mandler, who also direct Rihanna's "Take A Bow". Rihanna's "Disturbia" Video Premiere:

Gym Class Heroes : New Album "The Quilt" and New Single " Cookie Jar"

The kings of alternative hip-hop, Gym Class Heroes, have announced the release of their third album, ‘The Quilt’.

Gym Class Heroes are eyeing September for the release of their third album 'The Quilt'.

First on the release schedule is the single 'Cookie Jar', available as a digital download on July 8th, with the album following on September 9th in the U.S. - a UK date is not yet known.

Speaking of 'The Quilt', it has emerged that contributions come from Estelle and Busta Rhymes, while production was handled by The Dream, Cool & Dre and Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy.

Produced by The Dream, Cool & Dre and Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump and featuring guest contributions from Estelle, Busta Rhymes and the legendary Daryl Hall from Hall and Oates, ‘The Quilt’ features a number of high profile collaborators on the release.

The album will be released on September 9th via Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen in the US preceded by the single, ‘Cookie Jar’, which will be available for digital purchase beginning July 8th.

Hot Off the Relative Success Of Their Last Album, Gym Class Heroes Are Already Prepping The Release Of Their Next Project - The Quilt. Here Is the Lead Single, Featuring The-Dream, It Is Entitled - Cookie Jar.

The first thing that hit me was the distinctive production, it has that effortless addictive sound of The-Dream. While the lyrical content is empty as ever, it has Gym Class Heroes mark all over it, that R&B/Pop sound that I can't help but love.

I still can't help but to dislike Travis, he just annoys the hell out of me & I can't explain why, apart from the fact that he is one of the whack-est rappers out there at the moment. However, it doesn't put me off of a really good Pop song.

Gym Class Heroes will be previewing the material this summer with dates on the Warped Tour

Jeremy Camp : Let It Fade Music Video and Download

Jeremy Camp has never been one to hold back. "Beyond Measure" reveals a man secure enough to take risks, confident and willing, and it's a thrill ride for us all.

The path of Jeremy Camp has been a well-publicized one, and many have taken satisfaction in watching the blessings pour into his life. From the raw yearning of debut “Stay,” to the surrender of “Carried Me: The Worship Project,” to the strength of “Restored,” Camp has generously shared the process of his journey in his music, leaving fans feeling invested deeply in the story of this talented songwriter. Watching Camp find love again with Benjamin Gate’s Adie and establish a family with their two young children brought joy to fans, and they will understand the deep sense of recognition and gratitude that flows from “Beyond Measure.” The project feels personal, as does much of his work, but it also contains a feeling of release, of exhilarating freedom. Camp displays more diversity in these twelve tracks and a willingness to experiment a bit, stretching out both vocally and musically on tracks like the muscular pop-rocker “Everything.” The good news is that it works; listeners will pick up on the energy in most of these new songs.

Even as the heavy guitar riffs open the project with rocker “Tonight,” an excitement clearly pulsates. The upbeat guitar-driven “What It Means” follows, shimmering with hooks and sincere worship. The title track serves as the album’s centerpiece, a perfectly-placed rocker thick with gratitude and recognition of the cost of his blessings. The passion builds from this point forward, big in “Let It Fade” and the throbbing rocker “Feels Like.” It’s petal to the metal fervor in the pumping hard-rocker “No Matter What,” an uplifting song of promise and commitment. Things slow down briefly for the standout track, “I Am Nothing,” a quiet ballad of straight-up worship, its luscious strings, glowing vocals, and inventive changes building to a glorious crescendo of adoration. The anthemic “Give You Glory” follows, a rousing rocker dripping with exuberance. Camp takes a chance on the closing track, slowing and simplifying down to an acoustic guitar for “Give Me Jesus,” a simple praise ballad that is deeply expressive and worshipful. It’s good to see Jeremy Camp taking chances, especially when they work as well as they do on “Beyond Measure,” releasing from BEC Recordings on October 31st. The many listeners who have followed and enjoyed Camp’s fan-friendly generosity will find great satisfaction and even resolution in “Beyond Measure.”

If you enjoy Jeremy Camp's hard-rocking and vocal strengths, there are a few indie artists you should check out: Jason Harwell, Brandon Chase, and David Frust. And of course, Todd Agnew brings the same muscular strength to his projects as well.

Katy Perry : "I Kissed The Girl" Hot New Single This Summer

"I Kissed a Girl," which songwriter Katy Perry says is "about the magical beauty of a woman," is currently the No. 1 best-selling pop track on iTunes (& the #2 best-selling track overall on iTunes) and the #1 most-downloaded iTunes Ringtone. It is also the No. 1 most-requested song at multiple Top 40 stations nationwide, including New York's Z100 but also at Modern Rock stations like Los Angeles' KROQ."

Recently, MySpace launched an exclusive album premiere for One of the Boys and within one week, close to half a million people had logged on for a listen to the album. Aside from "I Kissed a Girl", other notable tracks include "Thinking of You", which was recently heard on MTV's The Hills and "Hot N Cold," a track that Blender Magazine calls a "spunky climate-controlled kiss-off."

The sexy, eye-popping video for "I Kissed A Girl", shot by Kinga Burza (Kate Nash, The Thrills), premiered on MySpace on May 21st and racked up more than 2 million views within two weeks -- making it the site's second-highest ranking premiere ever. The clip is already sizzling on VH1 (in large rotation), MTV Hits, Fuse and Music Choice, and has been featured on the Fuse network's Steven's Untitled Rock Show and Logo's "New Now Next" music-video series. MTV will introduce the video this Thursday on TRL during their "Spankin' New Music Week."

"I Kissed a Girl," which was produced by in-demand hitmaker Dr. Luke (Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne), is the lead-off single from Katy's debut album, One of the Boys, which will be released by Capitol Records on June 17th. A witty, pop-rock gem that showcases Katy's sharp, candid lyrics, big voice, and feisty, girl-power swagger, as well as her appealing vulnerability, One of the Boys is the full-length follow-up to her debut digital EP, Ur So Gay (available on iTunes since last November), which has already earned the 23-year-old Santa Barbara, CA, native a legion of devoted fans. Those fans include the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna, who recently gave Katy shout-outs on two morning radio shows, calling "Ur So Gay" her "favorite song."

Three days after One of the Boys is released, Katy Perry will kick-off this summer's Vans Warped Tour, appearing on the Hurley.com Stage for the tour's entire coast-to-coast run from June 20th to August 17th, 2008. You can also catch the raven-haired dynamo on the daytime drama The Young and the Restless. The episode, airing June 12th, features Katy as herself doing a photo shoot for the cover of Restless Style magazine (soon to be available at www.restlessstyle.com). Other upcoming television includes two appearances on TRL, one on June 12th for MTV's "Spankin' New Music Week," and one on June 16th.

Laura Marling, Alas, I Cannot Swim

Reviewed by Andy Gill

Even by the advanced standards of precocity displayed by many of today's tyro performers, Laura Marling is an extraordinary young talent. Listening to the mature reflections and acute observations in these 13 songs, it's hard to accept that their author turned 18 this week, and is already getting her second wind, dismissing her earlier output as "shit pop" and "absolutely awful".

The change in her work apparently came through encountering Bonnie Prince Billy's haunting I See a Darkness, an aesthetic epiphany that forced her to think more deeply about what she was doing. The result is Alas, I Cannot Swim, on which her young voice reveals an old, old heart. It's most evident in songs like "Old Stone", in which a standing stone – "10,000 years and you're still on your own" – prompts reflections on the comforts of solitude and self-sufficiency, while rolling tom-toms swell and ebb against the drone of harmonium; and in "Cross Your Fingers", in which apprehension about the fragility of seemingly secure structures leads to contemplation of the broad flood-plain of old age leading to the estuary of death.

Elsewhere, one gets an impression of someone building their worldview as they grow, struggling to deal with new situations, and simultaneously drawn to both the outgoing urges of youth and more introspective moods. In "My Manic & I", she's caught up in a torrent of doubt which, one suspects, is self-directed: "I can't control you, I don't know you well, these are the reasons I think that you're ill"; while over the sombre acoustic guitar picking of "Shine", she warns a potential emotional intruder: "I need shine – stay away from my light." But there are shafts of light; in the opener, "Ghosts", a young man scarred by "a ghost that broke my heart before I met you" ultimately finds redemptive love with the singer. "It turned out I'd been following him, and he'd been following me," she explains.

Marling goes against the grain of most modern pop, eschewing mockney bitchiness, diva showboating, indie guilt and trite hip-hop attitudes in favour of a folksy simplicity relying on well-turned melodies and sensitive arrangements of guitar, piano and violin embellished by French horn, trumpet or accordion, and even a male voice choir. Producer Charlie Fink has created a warm, welcoming instrumental backdrop that frames Marling's voice perfectly, revealing (but not accentuating) the echoes of singers like Sandy Denny, Jacqui McShea and Jolie Holland. It all adds up to a hugely impressive debut from an outstanding talent.

Missy Higgins : The Sound of White

Missy Higgins was discovered in 2001, when the Melbourne high-school student's song "All for Believing" won an unsigned artist competition sponsored by Australian national radio station Triple J. The plaintive piano ballad was an instant hit, but Higgins took her time with the fame. She eventually signed with Australia's Eleven imprint, which issued a self-titled EP in November 2003. It contained both "Believing" and Higgins' second hit, "Greed for Your Love." The Scar EP appeared in August 2004 and set the scene for the full-length Sound of White, which dropped the following September. Higgins then toured Australia, released a live EP, and prepared for her American debut, which came in January 2005 with the domestic-only All for Believing EP. Released through Warner Bros., it included the title track and four other songs from the Sound of White LP (which was reissued in the U.S. shortly after). Two years later Higgins released her second full-length, On a Clear Night, which saw a U.S. release in early 2008.

Missy Higgins (born Melissa Morrison Higgins on August 19, 1983, in Melbourne) is one of Australia’s most popular female singer-songwriters. Missy (Melissa) was thrust into the limelight in her homeland when she won a demo competition conducted by the national alternative broadcaster, Triple J. Although she was still at high school, her song All For Believing quickly became one of the station’s most requested tracks of 2001. In 2005, Missy took out 5 major ARIA Awards: Album of the Year (for The Sound of White), Best Female Artist, Best Pop Release, Breakthrough Artist - Album (for The Sound of White) and Highest Selling Album.

The Feeling : ‘Without You’ Music Video ! From The Brilliant Band

The Feeling some airplay here on Killed By The Video Star, but as none of you seemed to notice, or care, I thought I’d try again. I warn you, if I get no comments this time, I’ll keep plugging their videos until someone takes notice!

This is the second song from their second album, called Without You, and it’s a slice of Indie Pop heaven that deserves to get listened to by more ears than it currently is.
The song is a simple love song, about how badly you miss people when you are away from them. It’s like everything you do may be brilliant, except in the back of your head, your partner isn’t there with you to share the moment.

I suspect its a personal song from the experience of lead singer Dan Gillespie Sells, who has to leave his partner every time he goes touring with the group.

The video sums up these feelings by putting Dan in the role of an astronaut, in what looks like the old Soviet Union. We get to see him being prepared for space, before having his picture taken with his parents and captain.

I love the way the video is shot, starting and ending with a close up of Gillespie Sells’ eyes as he ponders life without the people he loves as he ventures in to space.

It looks like the video was done in just two shots, with a pan out, and a pan back in. You’ll notice also that the other band members all have a cameo part to play.

The song may be cheesy, and pure Pop, but who cares, it’s also beautifully sung, and tugs at the heartstrings. The video is innovative, and well done too.

THE brilliant thing about The Feeling is that they know how to make poppy tunes which seem, on first listen, insubstantial.

But this new single is actually about the Virginia Tech shootings. With a great hook and a message to boot.

Sure, it sounds a bit preachy. But, it's testament that there is so much more to this brilliant band than a great chorus and twee lyrics.

John Hiatt : New Album 'Same Old Man' Review by Track

Release Date: April 27, 2008
Label: New West Records
Producer: John Hiatt
Recorded: Highway 61 Recordings

Main Personnel
John Hiatt: Vocal and guitarKenneth Blevins: DrumsPatrick O’Hearn: BassLuther Dickinson: Guitar, mandolin and national resonatorLilly Hiatt: Backing vocals on “Love You Again” and “What Love Can Do”

John Hiatt has achieved moderate success as a singer/songwriter over the years. He’s been more successful with critics than with the radio. He is mostly known for having his songs be big hits for others, such as “Angel Eyes” for Jeff Healy, “Thing Called Love” for Bonnie Raitt, “The Way We Make a Broken Heart” by Roseanne Cash and “Sure as I’m Sitting Here” by Three Dog Night among others.

TRACK LISTING

1. Old Days: This blues shuffle with a kick makes a nice opening track. It has a whimsical old style blues sound that fits the material. Hiatt sounds like a cross between Tom Waits and Bob Dylan. Oddly, that doesn’t sound as bad as one would think. The verses are more talking than singing and Hiatt’s rhythm with that is a bit off. Still, it’s a really fun song. “They were smoking something in the audience that smelled like cat pee.” That’s a hall of fame songwriter right there.

2. Love You Again: This is a really great song up there with some of Hiatt’s best. I would love to hear Raitt do a cover of this. Lilly sounds pretty good on backing vocals as her sweet, higher tones mixes well with her father’s gruff growl. The arrangement fits the tune with acoustic guitar on the verses and a fuller sound with the rest of the instruments on the chorus. It’s not quite country or pop, but somewhere really good in the middle.

3. On With You: Hiatt seems to have trouble finding his rhythm with the up tempo stuff. He’s also channeling Dylan again. He needs just a hair bit more wail to push this into blues. The repetition of “I just want to go on with you,” as well as some of Hiatt’s vocal flourishes is a bit annoying. The drums give a nice back beat and contrast with the more country guitar picking.

4. Hurt My Baby: This is another ballad and a bit languid. The musical concept of the album is really clear here as you have simple three cord guitar playing set off by pronounced drumming on the down beats. It works for rock, but it’s a tad formulaic. Hiatt gives a good vocal performance as he puts real pain in his voice as he agonizes over “someone in this mean old world” hurting his baby.

5. What Love Can Do: Hiatt has distinct pronunciation to get over the story of a couple who can do anything and find anything because they have love with some really interesting imagery. Lilly returns for backing vocals and she doesn’t mesh as well as she did on the earlier track. It’s kind of a sing-song tune in a quaint early sixties style. It’s like a late era Doris Day hit.

6. Ride My Pony: The mandolin comes into play here with the guitar and drums getting a sort of locomotive sound in the background. I think they were going for a horse clip-clop though. It’s sort of a silly filler song about a man who just wants to ride his pony. Sometimes there’s no reading between the lines.

7. Cherry Red: The title refers to the Corvette and lipstick of the speaker’s lost love and his heart burns cherry red when he thinks of her. Sometimes just a color can stir up old memories and Hiatt captures that with the imagery and his vocal performance that has a certain longing. This might be too quaint for modern audiences, but it’s cute and there are some nice turns of phrases. The chorus is really catchy.

8. Our Time: How can you go wrong with lines like “it looked like the crime scene of an angel ghost.” This song is filled with unique metaphors and little nuggets of imagery. It’s another whimsical look at days gone by and realizing that the good old days were pretty good after all. It’s the little things that matter like eating Chinese food in bed. In fact the song makes an odd correlation between eating out and a romance. I’m not putting quotes on eating out. A very well written song.

9. Two Hearts: This is a pretty generic love song. I’m far away from you. I love you. I need you. Hiatt’s better than this.

10. Same Old Man: The title track is another really well written song with a blues tinge. Hiatt waxes on time and aging again. Despite the ravages of time and age he’s still the same old man his wife married back then. There isn’t any changing him now, but not changing is how they stayed together. It’s a mature love song that’s really nice to hear when we have teenagers trying to relate what they think love is. It’s a good anniversary song.

11. Let’s Give This Love a Try: “I’d rather be in a barrel of salt and pickle brine with a 1000 paper cuts.” Again, how can you beat that? This is Dylan-esque too, but in a good way. The song is about the man being one way and the woman the other and they’ve both been through a lot, so why don’t they try to love each other. This could work as a cover for someone too. It’s a sweet song with a bit of a dark side and tongue in cheek humor.

The Ting Tings: Shut Up And Let Me Go Download & Music Video

This is the band's next single and on a scale of 'not very good at all' to 'literally very amazing' it's somewhere towards the right hand side (if you have 'literally very amazing' on the right hand side). (If you have 'literally very amazing' on the left hand side it's more towards the left.)

U.K. duo are heating shit up. Their full-length We Started Nothing are hitting up the charts like there’s no tomorrow. So they are invading the states again but with more push behind their army. Their first attack and first ever appearance on American TV was on Jimmy Kimmel’s show.

Katie White and Jules de Martino’s brand of pop punk is highly energetic and bombastic. Make sure you don’t miss them on their U.S. invasion!

Beck Release New Album : Modern Guilt

Beck's been a busy guy over the last few years and it doesn't look like he's going to slow down any time soon. He'll release his 10th studio album, Modern Guilt, on July 8 through DGC.

The disc was produced by Danger Mouse and features a guest appearance by Cat Power on "Walls." At just over 30 minutes, Modern Guilt is much shorter than 2006's The Information and has been described as having a "1960s British vibe." Beck originally wanted the album to be 10 tracks, none of which would run over two minutes, but he later scrapped that plan.

Recording Modern Guilt was apparently intense.
"It was like trying to fit two years of songwriting into two-and-a-half months," he recently told Rolling Stone. "I know I did at least 10 weeks with no days off, until four or five in the morning every night."

Sex And The City Soundtrack

SEX AND THE CITY SOUNDTRACK. New pop that's stylish, but uneven, from Fergie, India.Arie, Jennifer Hudson and others. In stores now.

The musical accompaniment to the Sex and the City film combines lots of different genres into a soundtrack that is both fun party music and equally as fun to listen to all by your lonesome. The soundtrack runs the spectrum of artists from classy acts like Jennifer Hudson and Nina Simone to cutting edge tracks supplied by House music star Kaskade and the quirky duo The Bird and The Bee.

If all the artists on this album got together for a Sex and the City-style cocktail party, it would be quite the hip and stylish affair. With uptown chic songs from Jennifer Hudson ("All Dressed In Love") and Bliss ("Kissing") juxtaposed with a subtle version of "Auld Lang Syne" from Mairi Campbell and Dave Francis and the timeless rap "Walk this Way" from Aerosmith and Run D.M.C., the album covers many moods, all blending together to make for an audio celebration. India.Arie's cover of the Don Henley favorite "Heart of the Matter" proves even better than the original, with a controlled emotion and exquisite vocals that make it one of the highlights of the album. It would have been nice to hear a few more "girlfriend" themed songs about friendship, but as a collection, the album's variety keeps the party from ever becoming boring.

[Artist] N.E.R.D.:Seeing Sound Album

Check your iPod. If you don’t have any N.E.R.D. tracks (and if that’s true, then you need to get on it, so read on to avoid further pitying), then dollars to donuts, you’ve got something they’ve applied their Midas touch to as the Neptunes — their production operation. Madonna and Britney, Ludacris, Snoop, and Kanye — they’re currently backing him on his much-lauded Glow In the Dark tour. Hell, they’ve even remixed Sade.

Or, put another way: open up the Billboard charts, close your eyes and randomly point to an artist. Now open them. There’s an excellent chance the brain trust behind N.E.R.D. produced, remixed or will remix and/or produce that artist, taking already solid material to a new dimension you didn’t know existed but suddenly need a whole lot more of — the flavor of dream you’re not sure is the good or bad type, but you know it tastes better than being awake.

N.E.R.D. is Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo and Shae Haley. Like a giant squid fused with a set of conjoined octopus twins, the end result of N.E.R.D.’s time spent behind the controls sounds like they’ve got a lot more than just six hands and 30 fingers on deck. And the tracks snap, crackle and pop with the hyperstimulated sizzle of sticking all 30 into 30 different electrical sockets.
“With the Neptunes,” N.E.R.D.’s Chad Hugo told Hamptonroads.com, “we have that ability to collaborate with artists, and they have their vision and we’re there to paint different scenarios. As N.E.R.D., what we put out is directly from our brains to the stage. We’re in our own shoes. We have the ability to be ourselves.” Right. Which is why they’re about to drop their third N.E.R.D. album, Seeing Sounds, (out tomorrow), named for the neurological phenomenon synesthesia, where your senses basically swap shoes for the day. The album’s a celebration of their genre-resistant, chopped-and-screwed, tilted-and-twisted sound, complete with that hypnotic sawtooth bass swagger, dirty-ass drumming, superfunked, sexed-up, spaced-out blips, beeps and bumps.
We always suspected these guys saw things we don’t. Turns out they see everything we don’t. And with N.E.R.D. — forever the sickest and coolest kids you know — piloting their musical spacecraft into complete sensory overload, we get to explore a whole new galaxy of songs, sounds and sights we’d never otherwise hear… or taste.

Watch N.E.R.D.’s new video, “Everyone Nose (All the Girls Standing In Line for the Bathroom),” plus a few all-time N.E.R.D. classics, check out their MTV.com live peformances, watch an exclusive Buzzworthy interview with the Va Bee three, watch their exclusive Artist of the Week videos — including performance clips shot at Special Sauce in Bayshore, New York — and road trip clips, featuring Donnell Rawlings (Ashy Larry of Chappelle’s Show.)

After Pharrell Williams's pedestrian solo debut and some lacklustre production work (Gwen Stefani's The Sweet Escape), it seemed as though Williams and his Neptunes/N.E.R.D partner Chad Hugo had lost their vice-like grip on inventive pop. Happily, their new album suggests a thrilling second act. Flanked by fellow bandmember Shay Haley, they are again pushing the boundaries of the popular song. From Everybody Nose, a horn-looped look at Hollywood's re-infatuation with cocaine, to the drum'n'bass-meets-baile-funk of Spaz, this album is a superb reminder of why we fell in love with them in the first place.
