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.

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

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.

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!

RATATAT - Mirando [Einstein MUST SEE!!!]

There are 64 individual deaths in the movie Predator. In New York Nintendo corps Ratatat’s “Mirando” video, composed of reanimated Predator clips, there are 41, give or take some repeats. On its own, the song is an appealing amalgamation of Black Dice rhythms, Matmos quirkiness, Iron Maiden guitar harmonies and Kōji Kondō Zelda theme fun. But it’s the video where it seems to make the most sense. “Mirando” is the Portuguese word for ‘target’ (Predator was filmed in Mexico), and the many explosions and remixed deaths of the video are synched so perfectly with Ratatat’s music that, having seen it, their song doesn’t feel as complete on its own anymore. This is a great effect if your band is Goblin, Vangelis or Green Jellÿ, but for a touring pseudo-rock band with smart DJ sensibilities (check last year’s pretty-decent hip-hop remixtape), it’s self-defeating. If the song is engaging as it is, why put it visually in the line of fire? - KORY GROW

Britney Spears In Pussycat Dolls' 'When I Grow Up' Video

Britney Spears Looks 'Hot And Blonde' In Pussycat Dolls' 'When I Grow Up' Video: Report 'When [Britney] saw them on the MTV [Movie Awards], she was totally down to do the video,
MTV Report First, "How I Met Your Mother" — now, the Pussycat Dolls.

Her albums might not sell the way they used to, but Britney Spears is turning into the queen of the red-hot cameo. According to People magazine, Brit filmed a bit part in the video for the Pussycat Dolls' "When I Grow Up" clip.

An unnamed source told the magazine that Spears had a "small part" in the video, which was shot Wednesday in Los Angeles. A "set source" told UsMagazine.com that Spears does not interact with the group in the video, and shot her scenes at the Warner Bros. lot Wednesday while the Dolls filmed in Hollywood. "In the scene shot [Wednesday], Britney is driving in a car," the source said. "They all wave at each other as they are passing in traffic — that is it. Of course, Britney looks hot and blonde. It is a very short sequence, but [Britney] had a lot of fun with it. Britney really likes the Dolls' music and when she saw them on the MTV [Movie Awards], she was totally down to do the video."

Spokespeople for Spears and the Dolls could not be reached for comment at press time. Coming on the heels of her two-episode arc on "How I Met Your Mother," the Dolls shoot represents Spears' latest attempt to ease back into the spotlight, after spending much of the past year dealing with a series of personal crises. In fact, her second appearance on the sitcom went so well that onetime Brit doubter Neil Patrick Harris recently told People that "the door is open for her" to come back for a third go-round.

After a sizzling performance of "When I Grow Up" at the MTV Movie Awards last weekend, we'll be seeing plenty of PCD in the upcoming weeks. They'll appear on the June 12 episode of "So You Think You Can Dance," and the video for "When I Grow Up" will premiere on the new MTV video show "F'N MTV," which is hosted by Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, on the 13th. According to a source at their label, PCD's yet-untitled second album, featuring production from Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and Sean Garrett, will be out in September.

Jennifer Hudson : New Debut singel "SPOTLIGTH"

About JENNIFER HUDSON

Growing up on the south side of Chicago IL, Jennifer started singing in the church choir at the age of seven. For Jennifer, emoting inspirational gospel is the cornerstone of her beginnings as a talented singer, "the church is my favorite place to sing. My first solo was "Must Jesus Bare The Cross Alone." She attributes her vocal ability to her dear late maternal grandmother, Julia Kate Hudson, who was an avid churchgoer and also sang in the choir. Throughout grammar and high school, Jennifer cultivated & showcased her talent by participating in a host of local talent shows and musicals. During this time she also performed at various clubs, weddings and benefits in Chicago and surrounding areas.

In the Fall of 2002 Jennifer successfully auditioned for one of the Disney Cruise ships and landed her first major role as "Calliope", the head muse on the "Disney Wonder" line the ran from February 2003 through August of 2003 Jennifer loved her time performing on the ship and considers herself a member of the Disney family and was thrilled to be able to do what she loves to do, stating, "singing for thousands of people, and to be paid to do this, its amazing!." Taking a leap of faith, Jennifer consciously decided not to renew her contract with Disney; instead she flew to Atlanta to audition for the Fox hit reality show, American Idol: Season 3 in August 2003.

Amongst 70,000 hopefuls Jennifer was a stand out choice as a top 12 competitor. She wowed the idol judges and viewers spanning across the globe with great performances of classic songs by icons such as Aretha Franklin & Whitney Houston. As judge Randy Jacksons Wild Card pick, Jennifers journey with American Idol accelerated her to the 7th position. Viewer response to her early departure was quite controversial and unprecedented and sent shockwaves across America as well as unleashing a torrent of criticism about the idol voting process. During her time in the "Top 12", she received high praise from some of musics biggest industry legends. Sir Elton John was quoted as saying she was "the best of the lot". The deep, rich, powerful, classic texture of Jennifer Hudsons voice continues to touch everyone that hears her sing. In response to hearing Jennifers incredible range during the competition preparation for his very own classic, "Weekend In New England" Barry Manilow stated "My catalog of songs requires that you have range, you cannot do what Jennifer is doing, she takes it to a whole other level.". Movie director Quentin Tarentino was also enchanted by hearing Jennifers powerful rendition of the Whitney Houston song "I Have Nothing" from the mega hit soundtrack "The Bodyguard". Quentin states "Hudson takes on Houston and WINS!" Although Jennifer did not win the idol crown she left an indelible mark on the music industry and viewers across the world.

After the show ended the top 10 finalists embarked on a 48 city tour and Jennifer received critical praise for her performances from many of the local newspapers covering the event. Being voted off was an initial disappointment but reaction to her departure yielded much unprecedented coverage that includes a duet with Barry Manilow on "On Air With Ryan Seacrest" who also invited her to sing on tour with him, heavy spotlighting from Entertainment Tonight & other entertainment news intrigued to interview Jennifer as well as a guest spot on David Lettermans Top 10 List. Of her idol experience Jennifer has this to say, "I have learned a lot," she said. "It's been the biggest experience of my life. "It's just a blessing from God to just be able to use my talent to make my living - to be on American Idol and be on stage."

Post "Idol" life for Jennifer Hudson has been very rewarding. She has performed at several important benefit concerts, including a performance in the hit Broadway musical "Hair". Jennifer makes it no secret that she has a strong interest in the stage and has received rave reviews from established stage performers after her stand out delivery of "Easy To Be Hard", which she has recorded for an ensemble cast HAIR benefit album, due for release in early 2005. Ms. Hudson was also invited to perform at an event in her hometown along side such notable acts as Destinys Child, Kanye West and others. Jennifer debuted an original song entitled "Stand Up", which has since been strongly supported & requested on radio and has already created a buzz on the internet.

With a 5 octave range, Jennifer has been compared to legendary voices such as Patti Labelle, Whitney Houston, and Jennifer Holiday. What you heard from Jennifer on American Idol was only a sliver of her vocal ability. Listeners should be excited to hear what she has to offer. Jennifers voice is a throwback to powerful old school performers. Back when singers could sang. There is a duality in Jennifers voice that listeners will find very pleasing. She has the prowess to deliver an old soul classic but can just as easily woo you with a big power ballad that made many of todays musical stars famous.

In November 2005, Hudson was cast in the prized role of Effie White, the role originally created in a legendary Broadway performance by Jennifer Holliday, for the film adaptation of the musical Dreamgirls. Hudson has won particular praise for her show-stopping onscreen rendition of the hit song, "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going". As Effie White, Hudson has garnered twenty-nine awards from film critics as Best Supporting Actress and Breakthrough Performer of 2006. She won the Golden Globe Award as Best Actress in a Supporting Role. In addition, she has been named Best Supporting Actress by the Broadcast Film Critics Association and also by the Screen Actors Guild. On February 7, 2007, Hudson was named Best Supporting Actress and Best Breakthrough Performance by the Black Reel Awards, awarded by the Foundation For The Advancement Of African-Americans In Film. On February 25, 2007, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in this film. At 25 years old, Hudson became the eighth youngest winner of the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. She became only the third African-American to win the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. Jennifer also became the fourth African-American actress to win an acting award in Oscar history. She was also the first African-American to win an Oscar for her screen debut. Currently, she is also the only person to have gone from participating in a reality television series to becoming an Academy Award winner. In November 2006, Hudson signed a record deal with Arista Records and is currently working on her debut album which is scheduled for release the first quarter of 2008

William Joseph : Beyond

Josh Groban, Michael Bublé and William Joseph have many things in common—they are young, they are not your typical music artists, and they are shepherded in their careers by illustrious producer David Foster. Groban and Bublé have become major stars; Joseph is on his way. With his second major-label album, Beyond, the inventive, impassioned pianist and songwriter reaches beyond the boundaries of the contemporary instrumental genre to touch a new generation.

biography

The greatest music comes from within.

In the case of the extraordinary young piano virtuoso William Joseph, that statement applies both literally and figuratively.

This twenty-five year old Phoenix, Arizona native has displayed an innate affinity and enduring love for his instrument virtually from the cradle. Matched with a dedication and discipline that has given polish and precision to his passion, William Joseph has indeed reached deep within to discover and nurture his spectacular gift.

It’s a gift gloriously displayed on Within, William Joseph’s dazzling debut album on 143/Reprise Records. Highlighting eleven tracks that deftly demonstrate his exceptional range and versatility, Within was produced by the legendary artist, songwriter, producer and talent scout David Foster.

And, if Foster’s track record with the likes of Josh Groban, Michel Bublé and Renee Olstead are any indication, William Joseph is indeed poised for worldwide acclaim with the release of Within. Foster’s unerring instinct for deeply felt and consummately crafted music is, in short, about to launch another young artist on a promising musical career, and it was the producer himself who aptly summed up the appeal of this brilliant newcomer, stating simply, “I love his musicality, his writing and the magic he weaves on the piano. He has a unique gift the whole world should hear.”

It’s a sentiment that is quickly becoming a reality, as William Joseph has brought his extraordinary virtuosity to an ever wider and more appreciative audience. Since completing work on Within, Joseph has been much in-demand for a number of high profile musical events, most notably an opening slot on the recent summer tour of baritone sensation and 143 Records’ label mate, Josh Groban. A series of sold out dates were spotlighted with an acclaimed two-night stand at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles along with appearances throughout the U.S. and Canada.

On a more intimate note, Joseph has recently been center stage for a string of prestigious celebrity events, including benefits for both the Malibu Boys & Girls Club and the Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club hosted by, respectively, Mel Gibson and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger; charity performances for both Carousel of Hope and City of Hearts, during which he shared the stage with, among others, Beyoncé, Faith Hill and Josh Groban; a special evening honoring sports greats Andre Agassi, Tiger Woods and Oscar De La Hoya with all-star line-ups spotlighting India.Arie, Josh Groban, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Mario Lopez, Michael Bublé and others as well as special celebrations for California first lady Maria Shriver and Warner Bros. Records Chairman Tom Whalley.

It’s a promising launch for an artist who, at age eight, had already garnered a full ride music scholarship that would allow him to study classical piano with the likes of the acclaimed Russian instructor Stella Saperstein.

Yet even while immersed in such rarified realms, Joseph’s eclectic musical tastes prompted him to sample a wide array of styles and sensibilities. A natural born performer, he had songwriting ambitions and a love for cinematic scoring that could give full range to his richly textured and subtly nuanced skills. At sixteen, he penned the theme song for the hometown hockey team, The Phoenix Coyotes, and subsequently the moving anthem “Seeds Of Hope,” which helped to draw international attention to the Kosovo refugee crisis.

After taking a break from music in his late teens, Joseph returned to active performing, and within a few years had garnered a loyal local following thanks to the release of two independent albums and an extensive concert itinerary.

It was in 2003 that the young artist’s unique musical ability came to the attention of David Foster, in Phoenix for a charity event honoring Muhammad Ali. “I knew where he was going to be,” recounts Joseph, “so I just showed up and introduced myself. It was in the middle of a rehearsal, with all the musicians on stage and something promoted me to ask him if I could sit down at his piano and play a song.”

The original composition, which would later appear as the title track to his major label debut, stopped Foster in his tracks. “He sat down and played this beautiful piece magnificently and to perfection,” he remembers. “I was so impressed I asked him if he would perform that evening. A standing ovation later and I knew I had to work with him.”

That work got underway almost immediately with Foster and Joseph working closely together to select a repertoire that would truly represent the range and dynamism of the young pianist.

“Some of the material, like ‘Ave Maria” I’d been playing since I was a kid,” Joseph explains. “Others, like ‘Stella’s Theme’ and ‘Grace’ I co-wrote with David. It was a great honor for me, having grown up loving his music, but what I appreciated most was his willingness to try new things.”

Included in that later category are distinctive renditions of Paul Simon’s “Homeward Bound” and the total reinvention of such varied material as Kansas’ “Dust In The Wind,” Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir,” and “Butterflies And Hurricanes” by UK rock innovators Muse.

“I had huge expectations going into the studio with David,” enthuses Joseph, “and they were hugely exceeded. I really feel as if we got to the heart of my music; how different styles can be brought together to create something greater than the sum of its parts.”

All of which goes to prove that what’s within a true artist will always find a way to express itself, literally and figuratively.

“I love William’s musicality, his writing and the magic he weaves on the piano. He has a unique gift the whole world should hear.”

Coldplay : Violet Hill Music Video

Coldplay - Violet Hill - Le Clip! (New)
by wonderful-life1989

"Violet Hill" is a song by English rock band Coldplay from the band's fourth studio album "Viva la Vida" or "Death and All His Friends". The music video for the song was filmed in Sicily, Italy.

Martin described the song as having a "chalky, pastel feeling" which he said reminds him of his childhood. "Imagine a pseudo guitar-like circus music with a pinch of Chicago... It's something new from us and you will be impressed."

The new Coldplay single, and the first from forthcoming longplayer Viva la Vida and Death or All His Friends (details), isn’t as far a departure from the band’s trademark sound as the album’s title would have you believe. From the sounds of ‘Violet Hill’ this isn’t going to be the album where Coldplay look down from atop their piles of dough, go into a headspin and start rapping in non-sequiturs about the Congo or filling their bodies with silicone and junk. Brian Eno is here just in case, though, and the song drifts in on one of the trademark, Blade Runner drones colouring things like Ambient 1: Music for Airports, (think the start of ‘2/1’). Any fears that Coldplay have the balls to follow this path are waylaid when the plod happens and Chris Martin sleepwalks into a vocal that recalls Oasis track ‘Don’t Go Away’ as much as anything else. The song trots into life with five strikes of a crashing piano – as arch now as they were slowed down in Bowie’s ‘We Are the Dead’, which is strange given that Eno wasn’t around for that and most of ‘Violet Hill’ is as earnestly heroic as you’d expect from Coldplay, (“I wanna be a soldier who a captain on some sinking ship would stow far below/if you love me, won’t you let me know?”). The fact that it sounds heroic at all probably points to a return to Rush of Blood…-era musings, which somehow seemed darker-eyed and more manly than the frailties felt on last album X&Y. Taking that into account, along with the album’s art and title, it’s tempting to assume that Coldplay hear Viva la Vida… as a marker of resurgence – as a vengeful comeback of sorts. That’s all well and good, but to these ears ‘Violet Hill’ suffers just like the rest of Coldplay’s work – Martin’s desire to be a martyr is let down by the lack of a tangible cause and as such his band’s new single sounds too suffocated and self-absorbed.

[New album] Ne-Yo : Year of the Gentleman

Ne-Yo is back with his new single “Closer” from the upcoming YEAR OF THE GENTLEMAN album, due in stores on June 24th.

Grammy-Award winner Ne-Yo, who has impressed audiences with his talents since his 2006 with his multi-platinum, chart topping debut, In My Own Words, is fed-up with the sloppiness of current R&B. "Years ago, if you weren't wearing the right suit or have a correct crease in your pants, you couldn't even get in the door--let alone on stage to perform."

With Ne-Yo's third disc, Year of the Gentleman, the Las Vegas native and premier songwriter has constructed a suite of songs that shows exactly what he means by class. Written over the course of travels through Europe last year and influenced by his own fascination with the Rat Pack, Ne-Yo explains, "For me, the sharpness of Sammy and Sinatra is the kind of style I strive for in clothes and music. Year of the Gentleman is named in honor of those guys."

Like the best artists, Ne-Yo's music has an eternal sound that appeals to fans of all ages. "As a songwriter as well as a singer, I think it's important to cast my words wide. In other words, I am not trying to contain myself in some little box marked `urban.' I have traveled the world, and I want to bring that across in the material. Forget about urban, pop or whatever, Year of the Gentleman is a worldly album."

In England, staying at his favorite hotel, the Courthouse, Ne-Yo would sometimes sit at the bar and write songs. "It's funny, because the hotel used to be a real courthouse," he says. "There was also a small jailhouse in there where supposedly David Bowie and Mick Jagger were both held at one time."

Ne-Yo proves on the first single "Closer," it is possible to be classy and funky at the same time. Produced by Stargate, the track is an electro-excursion in the glam of Euro-disco. "I just love the beat on that record," says Ne-Yo. "When I was hanging-out in clubs in London, everything had energy. I wanted to merge that sound with American soul music, and `Closer' is the end result."

Harking back to a late-sixties retro sound, the beautiful "So You Can Cry" was one of the first songs Ne-Yo recorded for the project. Opening with an enchanting guitar resembling soft rain, "So You Can Cry" is a heartbreaking tune about a friend mourning a break up. "This is a true story," explains Ne-Yo. "A friend of mine just broke up with her boyfriend and I said, `Ok, take this moment to be sad. I'll turn the sun away from you so you can cry today." Embracing Lennon and McCartney with the same vigor as Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson, the amazing "Stop This World" should be hailed as one of the most beautiful love songs in years. When Ne-Yo swoons, "She's got heaven in her eyes," there is no denying his passion

"I don't know what puts certain ideas in my head when I'm writing," explains Ne-Yo. "Sometimes I see a picture in a magazine, a painting in a museum or a word on a page, and that's all I need to trigger the thoughts."

In addition to penning this new collection, Ne-Yo once again showed his writing prowess, penning lyrics for Rihanna, Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige and Celine Dion as well as the chart topping, record breaking, Grammy nominated song "Irreplaceable" for Beyonce.

As well recording Year of the Gentleman, last year proved to be a very busy time for the young talent. He release his award winning album, toured nationally and made multiple appearances TV appearances including Christmas In Washington making an appearance in front of George Bush but he declined to attend the a meet & greet with the current President.

Moving beyond the competition by just being himself, Ne-Yo's Year of the Gentleman is right on time to usher in a new era of "world music."

Karina : 16 At War Song [let's know her more!]

"16 At War" is taken of Karina's debut album "First Love" out on June 3rd.
Written and produced by en vogue tandem, The-Dream and C. Tricky Stewart, Pasian convincingly tackles the issues of stress and peer pressure at the age of 16.

Even before 16-year-old Karina Pasian signed to Def Jam records, the stellar singer was already making a name for herself. From her winning performance on Star Search in 2003 to singing at the White House last June during Black Music Month, this New York City chanteuse has been paying her professional dues since she was a toddler.

“I’ve been singing and playing piano since I was three,” says Karina. “My babysitter had a piano, and she started teaching me how to play. It wasn’t until a year later that I began getting professional lessons.” While some have been quick to compare Karina Pasian to other performers including Aaliyah, Alicia Keys and Mariah Carey, one listen to her self-assured debut disc is evidence enough that she is destined for success.

Karina remembers the first time she sang in front of an audience. “I sang Céline Dion’s ‘My Heart Will Go On’ at a talent show. I was kind of nervous, but the audience loved it.”

From that point, there was no denying that music would be her life. A few years later, after using the Prince-penned ballad “How Come U Don’t Call” for an audition, Karina Pasian was cast on a revamped version of Star Search. “That was such a wonderful experience,” says Karina, who won the first round of the competition with a rousing version of the Jackson Five classic “I’ll Be There.”

Working with an array of songwriters, producers and artists that include The Dream, Tricky Stewart, Gordon Chambers, Chris Brown, Carlos McKinnney, Lil Mama and others, Karina proves to be a breath of fresh soul. “I’ve recorded over 70 songs in the last two years,” Karina says. “It was a period of real growth for me as I learned to focus and stay consistent.”

Karina Pasian’s godfather, famed producer and businessman Quincy Jones, has also been a guardian angel for the young singer. In addition to giving her advice, the maestro included her in the “We Are the Future” charity concert in 2006. Considering the talents Jones has worked with, from Frank Sinatra and Sarah Vaughan to Michael Jackson and Tamia, she is in good company. “I know I’m blessed to have someone like Quincy in my corner,” she says.

A fan who embraces all forms of music, from the stylish Black pop of Brandy to old school jazz greats, Karina performed the standard “Misty” when she was at the White House last year. “Emilio Estefan, who has been a friend of my family for years, helped to put the show together, and invited me to be a part of it,” says Karina. “Later, my brother told me that I was the first Dominican to play at the White House, and that made me very proud.”

Studying music and voice at High School for the Professional Performing Arts, the Washington Heights native was more than prepared for any challenges that arose in the studio. “I was blessed to have some pretty amazing teachers who prepared me well,” she says sweetly. Refusing to fall into any cliché, Karina Pasian has recorded an album that is a reflection of her age and independent point of view.

Karina Pasian’s song “Sixteen” is a song of independence and admiration. “Ain’t no daddy’s where I’m from, its just mad mothers…why am I disrespected by someone I should call brother,” she sings in a pristine voice. “I wanted to do a song about what teenager girls go through in urban areas. It’s not cool that boys think they’re being cute when they say nasty stuff to us on the street.” Written and produced by The Dream and Tricky Stewart, best known for their work with Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and Madonna’s “Me Against the Music,” the song “Sixteen” reminds one of vintage Brill Building girls like the Crystals or Little Eva with an electro-groove.

Another The Dream and Tricky Stewart track that will leave fans breathless is “Baby Baby,” an uptempo song that is destined to be a dancefloor scorcher. “Though this is a fun song, it’s not just a party song,” says Karina “It’s about guys who simply see young women as sex objects, but I refuse to be that girl.” Indeed, like Aretha Franklin, she simply wants some respect. Sharing the mic with rapper Lil Mama (“Lip Gloss” & “Shawty Get Loose”), the two young stars connected in the studio. “Lil Mama was so cool, but it was her confidence in the booth that was really exciting.”

Produced and written by Carlos McKinney, the sing-songy “Can’t Find the Words” embraces elements of jazz and pop while simultaneously creating a whimsical track that sounds like nothing else of the radio. Additionally, Karina’s favorite song “Winner,” which highlights her elegant piano (her light touch on the keyboard reminds one of Erroll Garner) playing, is laidback and uplifting.

A beautiful young woman with more musical moxy than most sixteen year olds, Karina Pasian has constructed one of the finest debut discs in years. Melancholic and truthful, funky and real, blissful and bold, Karina's album is the sound of a better tomorrow.
