Alternative cover to Kylie Minogue’s “Get Outta My Way”

20 08 2010

We think this fanmade alternative cover to Kylie Minogue‘s “Get Outta My Way” is much better than the official one. What do you think?

Ward and Outkast!

19 08 2010

Welcome to the post with the longest title in Loft965.com. Norah Jones is about to jump on the duets bandwagon, which we think every artist should do at least once is their career. The list of artists are impressive but we think she could have done better. Maybe, Fiona Apple, Natalie Merchant or Melody Gardot. Nonetheless, we are looking forward to it.

4 08 2010

We are dissecting her new album and we have to say we like what we hear even if its not summery enough, but we look forward to spin it lots more when September comes around. She is really a unique talent. We recommend.

Official cover art of KT Tunstall’s album “Tiger Suit”

2 08 2010

Here it is. The debut of the cover of KT Tunstall’s third album Tiger Suit that we are eagerly anticipating. The art looks great and we hope that the folk strums are as glum as her face in this image. Nothing KT Tunstall has released was mediocre or bad, everything she touches is rock gold. Can’t wait.

Official cover art from Christina Aguilera’s single “You Lost Me”

26 06 2010

Christina Aguilera has finalized the decision to release the SiA-penned ballad as her second single in a bid to save her album from completely tanking. If there is one song that is to be salvaged from the mess that is Bionic it’s “You Lost Me.” Not to sure how a ballad will function these days’ charts, but it’s better than anything else she has.





Röyksopp release teaser for “Senior”

23 06 2010

We are so excited about the second installation to the series of Royksopp albums that started with the upbeat Junior. Fun times, we are excited!





SiA’s album gets rave reviews!

23 06 2010

Yahoo! Music called it one of the top albums of the year and blogs everywhere are ranting and raving about it. We said it a while ago, SiA’s album We Are Born is the only album that we will pay money for. Why? Because she has consistently done great album and in recent interviews she threatened us with a songwriting hiatus for other artists, so we do all we could to help out. We bought it and although it didn’t come with album artwork (which we are disappointed about) we love every track on there. Lovely little album from the queen of organic pop.

Ke$ha’s next single is “Take It Off”

17 06 2010

It has been allegedly announced that Ke$ha’s next and fourth single from her debut Animal is going to be “Take It Off.” Good or bad news?





Rihanna’s album compared to “Thriller,” David Guetta to produce

17 06 2010

To compare anything to Michael Jackson’s Thriller is just a recipe for disaster. This new album that Rihanna is rushing out this year allegedly will have it-producer of the moment David Guetta at the buttons and will, apparently, have Thriller as its bar. Let’s see what comes out of it. See what people working on it have to say about it below.

Some awkward album covers and one fabulous one!

16 06 2010

Ok, so this cover by Millie Jackson is just bliss. It’s a simple statement that makes a loud noise. We wish some modern-day divas would do such a vulgarly fabulous sleeve. But, the ones below, are another story.

Sheryl Crow to cover Eternal’s “I Am Blessed”

28 05 2010

Sheryl Crow is putting the final touches to the eagerly awaited new album 100 Miles From Memphis and there is some news around that is exciting and bizarre. The singer is allegedly covering a song made popular in the UK by Eternal. It’s called “I Am Blessed” and we remember it coming out but we thought it was too templated and geared towards the ballad market. Some critics compared it to Whitney Houston, but we though it was bland. So, we are curious as to why Sheryl is covering that song. At any rate, the last time someone covered an Eternal song they scored the top spot on the Billboard Charts. That was when Monica did “Angel Of Mine.” So, good luck to her.





Official cover art of Monica’s second single “Love All Over Me”

24 05 2010

Monica did the right thing by replacing the tepid “Here I Am” with the epic “Love All Over Me” as the second single. This is the artwork for it right here on the Loft. The third single should be “One In A Lifetime” and that probably could catapult her album Still Standing into platinum status.

12 05 2010

Wow, this is exciting and we love it. This is the cover to M.I.A.’s new album, the third installation in her saga. /\/\/\Y/\ is the album. Fab.

M.I.A. calls third album “/\/\/\Y/\”

11 05 2010

One to file under the weird album names next to Sigur Ros’s (), M.I.A. has gone and called her album /\/\/\Y/\. Yes, that’s right. It’s called /\/\/\Y/\. Like: “did you get your copy of /\/\/\Y/\?” Well, there is reasoning behind this. She called her first album after her father, Arular, then she called the second album Kala after her mother. But, this album is called /\/\/\Y/\ because it looks like “Maya” – M.I.A.’s real name. So, there it is. It’s a novel name, but we like it.





Miley Cyrus leaks art for “Can’t Be Tamed” album!

11 05 2010

You’d think with someone that grosses as much as Miley Cyrus she’s make a better cover than that. the queen of horrible cover, Britney Spears, would cringe at that although it looks like something she would do. It’s another one of those album that’s made for the singles purely, but we haven’t come to expect much from here. So, there.





Video Premiere: “All Night Long” by Alexandra Burke featuring Pitbull

27 04 2010

Never really liked this song too much and the collaboration is a little off. We are still waiting for her to release the run-a-thon anthem “Dumb.”





Britney Spears’ new album rumored to be “darker” and “subliminal”

27 04 2010

Someone allegedly snuck into a record company meeting on Britney Spears news album and was later ejected but with some relevant news on the direction and release date of the album. The album is set to have a deep and dark sound, but also “subliminal.” No, word yet on what subliminal music is. Does that mean that Britney Spears is going to being singing something in code that only the subconscious ear could hear forcing us into some cult following? That’s quite vague and somewhat creepy. But, here’s the quote follow by the source: “Yesterday we were in a meeting with some staff working in the career of Britney Spears and told us that the new disc is recorded by 70% and their plan is to launch on Halloween since the concept of the album will be very dark and subliminal also talks of a tour, which is ruled by the last time for the tentative dates for the launches are, the album in October and single at the end of August talked about the concept of this new stage and as I say goes to be very subliminal and dark.”

Robyn’s album and cover art for “Body Talk Pt1″ has leaked!

22 04 2010

Robyn’s tracks are so in-demand that all the songs leaked individually. Now, the entire album is out if you collect all the songs. The album is sexy as expected and the album cover is fun, although she could have done more for her return. Body Talk PT1 is the first installation of three albums. Good to hear some fresh beats from Scandiqueen Robyn.  Click here to investigate this leak.





Janelle Monáe album cover is here for “The Archandroid”

19 04 2010

This is just lovely and looks like that of a futuristic Egyptian pharaoh. It hits too close to home to Kelis’ album Fleshtone. Nonetheless, we are very excited!
