Mark Ronsons Valerie

I absolutely, positively love this woman. She is amazing. I love everything about Amy Winehouse, her voice, her music style and today a friend found a link to a brand new track by Mark Ronson that she is featured on. It's called Valerie I love it.

Check it out and tell me what you think!

If You Dont Mean It

Aussie Idol cast of Dean Geyer is giving it a go with a new track, "If You Don't Mean It". When I was first told Dean was releasing a disc I was a little skeptical. He wasn't my favourite contestant on the reality show but I was really taken aback at how much I really liked his first single.

I'm Not Dead

Hey guys,

I know it has been ages since I last updated. Things have been going crazy and to be honest there hasn't been much I've wanted to post. For me, good music seems to be a little scarce these days. Just wanted to let you all know I am not dead and I am going to start posting again soon.

Peace!

Rihanna's, No Wait, Fabolous First Time

Another song from Rihanna's upcoming LP, "Good Girl Gone Bad", has leaked. The track is called "First Time" and it is, at the moment, my favourite track from the new album. Great R'nB track with a catchy beat and chorus.

Tell me what you think.

Download: First Time (ft Fabolous)

UPDATE: It appears this track will only appear on Fabolous new album. I really hope it makes an appearance on Rihannas disc. I really like this song

Beyonce In Hot Water

Beyonce re-released her latest album B'Day recently with bonus tracks, just for her biggest fans, you know, the ones who bought it the first time around, and has found herself in a spot of hot water after she included a track most of her fans would be too young to remember, 'Still In Love (I'm Kissing You)'.

The track was originally recorded by British R&B singer Des`ree and titled simply 'I'm Kissing You' for the 1996, Baz Luhrmann film, Romeo & Juilet.


Des`ree was reportedly none too happy with Beyonce's recording and video to the song and has filed a lawsuit in Manhattan's Federal Court seeking to stop distribution of the song and $150,000 in damages.


TMZ reports that originally the two parties attempted to negotiate an agreement but Beyonce's people weren't happy with stipulations that included no video is to be recorded and the name of the song must not be changed.


Just to reiterate, Beyonce changed the name of the song and filmed a video for the song.

Which version are you a fan of?

Hilary's No Stranger

There has been a lot of speculation as to which track Hilary Duff will release as her third single from her album Dignity. People have said Stranger, which is my personal favourite, while others claim it's Gypsy Woman. I stumbled across this article which outlined that Stranger will in fact be the third single.

The Track written by Hilary Duff, Kara DioGuardi, Vada Nobles, Derrick Haruin and Julius Diaz will be the third single from the album, and HMV Japan have reported a release date of June 4, 2007 for the CD single.

According to Ms Duff, the song is about how she thought her mother felt around her father, who had an extramarital affair with another woman. Ms Duff said she wrote "Stranger" to appear to be about one of her own relationships, because she didn't want people to know about the strained relationship between her parents.

Have Your Say. What do you want to be the next single?

O'Donnell To Leave 'The View

I know this is suppose to be a music blog but I stumbled across this piece of information about Rosie O'Donnell and seeing as I am a huge fan of the view, I know it's sad, I thought I would post it...

Outspoken television personality Rosie O'Donnell will leave the American daily talk show, The View in June after failing to agree on a contract with ABC. O'Donnell has constantly made front page headlines with her opinions since her introduction last year on the popular show. The 45-year-old former actress says, "My needs for the future just didn't dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me. This has been an amazing experience and one I wouldn't have traded for the world." The talk show, founded by seasoned journalist Barbara Walters, experienced a massive ratings boost when O'Donnell joined the cast of women who discuss current events and interview celebrities in front of millions of viewers. In response to the announcement, Walters, who is thought to have constantly dealt with the consequences of O'Donnell's risque statements, said, "I wanted Rosie to come back to television on The View even for just one year, She has given the program new vigor, new excitement and wonderful hours of television. I can only be grateful to her for this year."

New Track: Foursome No More

Andrea Corr, Lead singer of the highly successful Irish band The Corrs, has come out with a solo track called "Hello Boy". This track was a huge surprise, it is incredibly different to what she's best known for. Give it a crack and let me know what you think. I for one can't wait for her debut solo album.

Download: Hello Boy

New Music: Kylie Minogue

It has been said that the recently leaked track "When the Cats Away" is the new single from Kylie Minogue's latest upcoming release, but I have my doubts. Single or not, this track is a lot of fun. The lyrics are catchy and it has a really funky electronic beat. Let me know what you guys think.

WTF? "J Records"

Alicia Keys has pushed back the release date of her third studio album from June 07 to October 07 reports NY Daily News. Spokesperson for Ms Keys has said the official reason given was that there were “Scheduling conflicts” with her ever-growing acting career. Rumour has it; another reason for the delay could be that the singer is unhappy with the promotions situation at her label, "J records". Ken Wilson, the promotions director Ms. Keys 'trusted and relied on' was fired from the Clive Davis owned label.

It is evident that there are some problems over at “J Records”. Solid albums by previously successful artists such as Fantasia and Monica severely under performed due to bad promotion.

Album Leak: Another Side

First it was Vanessa, then Ashley and now Corbin Bleu. The third cast member from Disney's High School Musical will release his debut disc on May 1st 2007 but "Another Side" was leaked earlier today and I have it available for download, right here, right now, in its entirety.

Personally, I was disappointed with his efforts. Having had both Vanessa and Ashley release successful albums I expected the same for Mr Bleu however, in my opinion, he failed to deliver. The songs are boring, whinny and unoriginal. If you're expecting a Grammy Award Winning album look elsewhere.

Rating: C-

Rihannas Gone Bad with 2 New Tracks


Above is the official cover art to Rihannas third studio album, "Good Girl Gone Bad", set for release on June 5th 2007 . I have to admit I have never really been a fan of Rihanna but her latest track, Umbrella ft JAY Z, got me hooked as has the recently leaked track "Should I" Featuring J. Status.

Download both tracks now and tell me what you guys think of 'em.
I am really looking forward to what this album has to offer.

Ms. Kelly

Well, I know I'm a little late to the party and I am sure you already know about the upcoming release of Kelly Rowland's second studio album, "Ms. Kelly", but I have only just heard her first single from the album, Like This (Ft: Eve), and I have to say I am lovin' it. So very different from what I heard of her first album release.

The reason I am so late in uploading this track is because I am not really Kelly's biggest fan and it was only by accident that I heard her new track. I am absolutely kicking myself for waiting until now.

Download: Like This

Also, thanks to the crew over at Mix Tape* Yum I have the official track-listing of "Ms Kelly" so here it is.

Bonus Track: I Will Be

It seems every artist is doing this lately.

If you Pre-Order Avril Lavignes third studio album, "The Best Damn Thing", on I-Tunes you receive a bonus track called "I Will Be". It's a pretty decent ballad, some say it's better than "When You're Gone". What do you guys think?

Download: I Will Be

I ♥ Her Open Toes

Katharine McPhee is my second favourite American Idol contestant, the first being Kelly Clarkson. I grabbed Katharines album as soon as it hit the shelves and fell instantly in love with a very dance, beat popping track called "Open Toes" and I have just learned that it's going to be her second single. YAY! I am totally psyched. Give it a listen and tell me what you think.

Download: Open Toes

New Track: Loves Not A Competition

I stumbled across a new track by the band Kaiser Chiefs. I have never heard of these guys before but while I was watching television their song appeared in a promo of the Aussie soap "Home & Away" I downloaded the track and fell head over heals. I don't know much about the band but this single is fantastic.

Let me know what you think. COMMENT!!!
