I hope @OfficialAdele's live CD/DVD brings out a different side to the songs rather than mimic the studio versions.—

Now we know why Beyonce is going crazy with video releases. Every tracks seems to be getting the video treatment nowadays at the Beyonce camp, much like the B’Day days. It seems that Beyonce is not slowing down with her first pregnancy. To ensure the ball rolling, B is doing this for 4 to keep the promotional wheels going strong even after her delivery. Live In Roseland: The Elements Of 4 is a live DVD that is set for release on November 29th, 2011. The deluxe version will include a 7-video DVD of songs from 4. As of now, the songs that got a video are “Run The World (Girls),” “Best Thing I Never Had,” “1+1,” “Countdown,” “Love On Top” and “Party.” Which one do you think will be next?

Adele’s new live CD and DVD has a cover and this is it. Live At Royal Albert Hall in London is set to drop soon to meet the demands of the lucrative fourth quarter. It’s a great time for Adele to make some more cash, everything she poops now is gold. So, it’s smart to hold off that high-anticipated third album that she allegedly claimed to have worked on. The sleeve is not so bad. It could have been better. Click below for the full tracklisting.

Track listing:

1. Hometown Glory
2. I’ll Be Waiting
3. Don’t You Remember
4. Turning Tables
5. Set Fire To The Rain
6. If It Hadn’t Been For Love
7. My Same
8. Take It All
9. Rumour Has It
10. Right As Rain
11. One & Only
12. Lovesong
13. Chasing Pavements
14. I Can’t Make You Love Me
15. Make You Feel My Love
16. Someone Like You
17. Rolling In The Deep

Allegedly, Lady Gaga is readying up a remix album and a live DVD for release real soon. The announcement is set to come shortly. We will keep you posted.

Kate Nash has been on a whirlwind of a tour this year taking her to many continents to promote her second album My Best Friend Is You. This consequently lead to many great moments on the road, which will culminate into a DVD of sorts. More news to come.

Loft965.com is very happy to be the first blog on earth to bring to your the cover of Lira’s new album.

Lira had an exceptional 2010 – becoming the first South African artist to release a live music concert on Blu-ray and selling multi-platinum numbers of her live DVD.

Now, early 2011, sees the multi-award winning artist return with a brand new studio album that’s nothing short of extraordinary – and a fitting calling card for Lira’s much-anticipated breakthrough onto the global music stage.

Titled Return To Love – Lira’s fourth studio album is a masterful record that draws together everything that Lira has worked for since she first embarked on her music career – at first tentatively with her 2003 debut and, from 2006’s Feel Good onwards, with mounting confidence in her singular abilities.

Lira’s triumph at the 2009 South African Music Awards, where she won Album of the Year and Best Female Artist for the 2008 record, SOUL IN MIND, and subsequent multi-platinum sales of her second two records and her LIVE IN CONCERT – A CELEBRATION DVD (2009) proved she had the voice, the songs, and the performing ability to strike into the hearts of South African music fans.

But one listen to RETURN TO LOVE and it’s clear that over the course of her first trio of albums, Lira was only just beginning to reveal her musical gifts.

“I was very focused on defining the ‘Lira’ sound even more, with this album,” Lira says of the vision behind possibly the classiest – yet infinitely accessible – record to come out of South Africa in a long while. “I wanted to send this out into the greater musical world with a real solid, really refined sound that is unmistakably my own.”

In this quest, Lira, and her producer as well as primary co-songwriter, Robin Kohl, have succeeded handsomely.

If comparisons are to be made, there’s a real feel of Sade’s earlier work, in Lira’s scorching, soul-filled vocals. And yet the subtle sense of her South African roots that flickers throughout the material, along with Lira’s unique vocal stylings mean there is nothing copycat about RETURN TO LOVE.

“It was always my feeling that I don’t want to be boxed into being a particular kind of artist,” Lira says with the quiet emphasis of someone who knows precisely what they desire. “On this album, too I didn’t want to be restrained in what sounds we included on the album so there is some funk, ragga, urban, traditional African sounds, and, of course, plenty of soul.”

At 11-tracks, the album finds its lyrical footing in all the things that Lira loves – from dancing to singing, being introspective, loving others, philosophising, and stirring people’s consciousness. “I love to dance. I love to love! I’m a romantic. But I also like to be contemplative,” she says.

Standout tracks are hard to pin down.

Whether she’s writing about the relentless tug of heartache on ‘Call Me’, or the plaintive plea for answers in a world that’s lost its way (“Money and greed cast a shadow on the sun/Yes, I see it burning up the skies”) on ‘Abba’ or the need for individuals to take charge of their live on ‘Get Into Action’, Lira’s words have a force that few can match. Other album highlights include ‘Mali’, with its Bossa and Mbaqanga mix, as well as ‘Phakade’, which has all the hallmarks of a wedding song, along with the more somber, ‘Be My Friend’.

With a lineup of live shows that will keep her calendar full throughout the coming year, significant international interest in her work, and an album that’s as good as anything released internationally, Lira’s ready to deliver yet again to her loyal fanbase – and take on the world.

Blekh. So Madonna has been thinking of more ways to make money because we all know how much she loves that. The diva is set to debut her chain of gyms around the world named Hard Candy, after her most horrible album, for all the muscle mary’s to wince in. Let’s hope the screens in the gym won’t play the GHV2 videos.

Madonna’s live CD has leaked (or a fan recorded a gig set and posted as such). We haven’t listened to it yet so where going to spare the Madonnaphiles the haterade. Click here for further details.

Brit-rockers have suffered some tumult recently and haven’t released an album since 2003′s Think Tank. But, there are back in 2010 to release a documentary titled No Distance Left To Run. It will chronicles their life of the road and their story so far. The DVD’s coming out soon in a region-free format.

This is the official HD Trailer for the Pet Shop Boys fantastic new live CD/DVD release, Pandemonium. Pandemonium was recorded live at the O2 Arena, London on 21 December 2009, DVD extras include the “Love Etc,” “Did You See Me Coming?” and “All Over The World” music videos. Plus, audio commentary from the boys and the fantastic 2009 BRIT Awards performance featuring Lady GaGa and Brandon Flowers!

Another year, another blaze Madonna release. This is the artwork for the Sticky & Sweet disc. We can’t believe she is still sticking with that horrid typeface and the skew. Plus, she had to be on a screen to appear like she wasn’t retouched. When was the last time we saw Madonna’s current face all up on a sleeve?

We can’t wait for the DVD!

These are two clips from Margaret Cho’s 5th stand-up comedy DVD titled Beautiful. It has taken a while for Margaret to put out a DVD since Assassin. And it’s her first in with democratic administration in office. So, the DVD’s going to be a little different with the usual great mixture of preachiness and laughs.

Beyonce is releasing a 1 DVD/ 2 CD set of her concert at the Wynn in Las Vegas.It is titled I Am… Yours: An Intimate Performance. The DVD is set to be her live offering from the Sasha Fierce era. The package is coming out on November 23rd and it’s set to feature pieces that were made specifically for her 4-day stint in Sin City.
