The new album Somewhere Down The Road was supposed to be a greatest hits collection, but Amy Grant has to release some new material. Click here to read the details.

Beyonce to take a break, Solange starts working on album

The hardest working woman in showbusiness has decided that she will take a six month hiatus to concentrate on other things. Perhaps, a trip to Harbor Island? Or maybe a safari in Botswana? She probably will be working, but she wants to keep it quiet for at least six months so that her comeback single and album can get that big buzz and maybe that will make her first single a signified hit without being of quality as it did for “If I Were A Boy.”

Anyway, that is not that real news that we here at Loft965.com  are interested in. The real news is that he very talented and arguably better sister Solange is embarking on recording her third album. She will release it independently and will work with Australian band Midnight Juggernauts. This smells good, we hope it tastes good.

Sarah Harding of Girls Aloud has just confirmed that the girls are taking a group hiatus in order to pursue personal aspirations. This comes after the announcement of a multi-album deal with their record label. Both Nadine Coyle and Cheryl Cole have confirmed that they are going to work of solo material that might saunter it’s way to us in 2010, while Sarah Harding is getting the acting bug and some roles to go along with it. No word on Kimberly or the ugly one yet, but the latter one might continue her work on her make up line. Make it thick, honey.

Loft965.com is back, RIP MJ

We took a little break to honor Michael Jackson’s life and, also, because we happen to be in the our favorite city in the world. The big apple. The airport’s a good time for us to return. So, this is back in full force. We are still mourning Michael, but we will try to stay away from the gossip thats circulating around the Jackson name and just report and/or comment on the music and the legacy. Keep it coming!

Dido’s new song and video…

This is a strong song. It is bound to put her back on the map especially after her long hiatus. Safe Trip Home is going to top the charts, just because of all the hoopla surrounding it. The free song featured on her website, “Look No Further,” was a downright bore. But, I hear she is experimenting with new things this time. Using flutes or something, according to Pop Justice. It will probably cater to its fandom, but be a mere continuation of her previous records. She usually doesn’t stray too far away from a functioning formula. It has worked, so far.
