Beyonce working on a new album!
The-Dream has let loose the fact that he is in the studio working with Beyonce on a new project. It seems the hiatus won’t be that long and Beyonce will probably release her album sometime around Solange’s which is not fun. He is also working on Rihanna’s and Kasha’s. Let’s hope he doesn’t work on the new MC.
The-Dream says this is Ciara’s last chance at stardom then retracts it!
When asked by Parlour magazine: “You’ve just finished writing Ciara’s entire new album too. Is this really her last shot at pop stardom? The-Dream replied: “I think so. You only get so many times to, and I won’t say fail, but not achieve. There’s an expectation of where Ciara should be in her career. To others, she’s achieved but not to us, because we saw where her career was headed. But now she’s back on the horse. When she first came out I, like Lil Jon and Jazze Pha, understood exactly who she was. It was that whole Atlanta vibe because if i’m not Atlanta, no one is. I knew if I had a chance to get with her creatively, there’s a specific type of swagger that she’s got. Tricky and I did her whole album, but it’s not all shallow songs like “Ride.” There’s play time but there’s substance too, it’s a great listen.”
Rihanna’s album compared to “Thriller,” David Guetta to produce
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.
Exclusive: Mariah Carey to release new song this tuesday
2It’s amazing what a little tweet can do. Mariah Carey just announced, to many people’s amazement, that the first single off of her upcoming album Memoirs Of An Imperfect Princess is called “Obsessed” and will be released this tuesday. This is how the tweet went:
“The 1st single from my new album “Memoirs of an imperfect angel” is called “Obsessed” and will be at radio next tuesday. I’m a lil’ excited!”
The album was slated for a late September release, but that was tentative and almost every Mariah album has been pushed back before. So, to have the single hit radio (and the blogosphere inevitably) this early was somewhat of a surprise. Who knows? Maybe she is trying to give Whitney Houston a break and not release the album at the same time or maybe she is just so happy with the product that it is ready for a release. Sudden releases are good because they make a bigger impact.
Video: “My Love” by The-Dream & Mariah Carey
1Who knew that Mariah can do the proletariat so well. And a bad hair day, too. This song has the potential to be #1 in the US and in the US only. It sounds good, her vocals are impeccable and radio is just going to eat it up. Also, I heard that it would count as a #1 for her and not just The-Dream. So, yay.
Mariah shoots the video for “My Love”
What is she going for? The ghetto-fabulous look? She looks a hot mess with that side-afro hair. The songs sounds fun, though.
Mariah is already working on new album…
According to DivaReport and MariahDaily, Mariah is already working on a new album. The-Dream spilled the beans about the project and now its all over the blogosphere. Frankly, I am happy for anything that comes from Mariah even if its too early. It might be just playing around for the real thing. Or a remix, maybe? Let’s see what happens, but I don’t see a 2009 album. That would almost make me forget her tour cancellation.
