Mariah Carey’s single “Oh Santa” has leaked!

4

Her classic “All I Want For Christmas” is unsurpassed. This one sounds like a little add-on, nothing to compare but a reminder how festive Mariah Carey can get. In the beginning it sounded noisy, but now it’s OK. Especially with the melismatic theatrics. Click below to check it out. Continue reading

Some awkward album covers and one fabulous one!

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.

Official Britney Spears cover for Singles Collection

2

TSC656

Okay, so it’s not this one. And it’s not this one at all, too. If you are out of your gay mind and not buying this, you will probably end up with this cover (above) or just “3” as a download. Because, in all realness, if you don’t have all the tracks on this compilation you are probably to far into this paragraph. This is the official cover of the non-box set version of the Singles Collection.

Britney Spears reveals box design and cover of the Singles Collection

125451987116585The singles collection will contain just that – the entire singles collection in their original artwork in sleeves. Every single single Britney has released will be in that box. A smart move considering that this offering is about the packaging more than the content. So, there won’t be illegal downloading because the tracks are already available, the real draw in the package.

Robbie Williams recently did that and it went over well. But, he has quiet an impressive b-side catalogue so that could be a factor in fans purchasing. But, Britney’s fans will undoubtedly dish out the amount for such a ordeal. Good job!

Britney Spears to release next single titled “3″

britney-spears-wallpaper

“3″ is Britney’s next single. It is set to be released as the lead single from her upcoming second greatest hits compilation, “The Singles Collection”. It was officially confirmed via Spears’ official website on September 23, 2009 that the song will be released to U.S. radio on September 29, 2009.

Cover for the Britney Spears singles collection, maybe again

asbs

We first thought that this was the cover and we were kinda happy, if not for the impeccable cut and paste then for the nostalgia. But, now we hear this crapola of an emboss job is the official cover. It might change. But, we thought we’d report it. You know, we wouldn’t be surprised if it was The Singles Collection cover because she has a history of suckage when it comes to artwork.

The Singles Collection is way too close to Greatest Hits: My Prerogative. But, she needs to make some money y’all. And this will hopefully include all the singles ever. She might need more than one disc for it. It is rumored that this is the cover, which is not bad, but not a new photoshoot. Lady GaGa wrote a song for the album called “Telephone,” which should be the single. Also leftovers from Britney (“Bring Me Home”) and Circus (“Whiplash”). Two previously unreleased track will make it also. “Hush Hush” and “Hold On To Me.” Looks promising!

Video: “Kill The Lights” by Britney Spears

Don’t get your panties up in a bunch, it’s just an animated video for one of the best songs of Circus. There’s no excuse for it. When she did the animated video for “Break The Ice” we understood because she was going through rehab. Now, why this? I mean a live version with some graphics, in the Madonna manner of “Miles Away” and “Get Together,” would have been better than this Bratz looking fiasco! For such a fun and happening song she should have done something elaborate and dancey, but something tells me Britney just wants to release as many songs as possible to fill a singles compilation coming out soon.

Video: “Shine Over Babylon” by Sheryl Crow

My LOFT965 Exclusive: The Best Albums Of 2008 has been getting a lot of hits and some comments and email have been popping up from it.
