Adam Lambert Talks Album Cover
Posted in Adam Lambert, Album Release, American Idol on the November 2, 2009
After receiving some harsh criticism after he unveiled his gender-bending album cover, American Idol alum Adam Lambert took to his Twitter to let everyone know what he thinks and giving no apologies. The singer tweeted “Thank you to those who appreciate and understand that the album cover is deliberately campy. It’s an omage to the past. It IS ridiculous. For those that don’t get it: oh well… Glad to have gotten your attention.” He gets an A for effort on spelling “homage” without the h. I for one love the album cover. I just hope the rest of his music is as fabulous.

Mariah Carey’s Heavily Sponsored Album
Posted in Album Release, Mariah Carey on the August 11, 2009
If you haven’t picked up Mariah Carey’s new album, don’t worry because you’re not alone. But if you’re still contemplating on whether or not to buy it on September 15th, there might be a little more incentive for you as the album is going to be reproduced with a brand new 34-page booklet attached. But before you go and save money thinking it will be filled with the singer’s loveliness, it’s actually going to be filled with ads. ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’ will be the first CD released with this new brand integrated booklet and is also in conjunction with Elle magazine. As a consumer, it’s nonsense. As a business, it’s genius!
Adam Lambert Album to be Released This Summer
Posted in Adam Lambert, Album Release, American Idol, Debut Album, album on the June 29, 2009
Adam Lambert has a new single out from his upcoming debut album called ‘On With the Show’ which is expected to be released later this summer. The song is called ‘Want’. It’s a mid-tempo song and is more pop than it is rock. Something is sketchy though as some reports say that this album will be released this summer, which is pretty quick. However, the songs on it were recorded in 2007 and 2008, before Adam was on American Idol. It is also being released by a label other than the one the singer signed on to after coming in 2nd on the show.
Adam Lambert album expected this summer
Posted in Adam Lambert, Album Release, American Idol, album on the June 22, 2009
The American Idol star is apparently going to have an album with tracks he recorded before the contest out with Hi Fi Recordings and it’s due this summer. The CEO of Hi Fi, John Hecker, said the following about Adam Lambert’s upcoming release: “We were presented with a business opportunity,” said Hecker. “We accepted because Wilshire Records had a long working relationship with Adam, and it resulted in excellent music that they had the rights to. The music has an audience, and it deserves to be heard.” Right… and the songs being released now, considering they were recorded in 2007 and 2008, has nothing to do with the fact that Adam Lambert recently gained fame and thus he is now a profitable market. They’re just releasing the songs because they need to be heard, right?
Jay-Z Announces Release Date
Posted in Album Release, JAY-Z, Record Label, album on the June 9, 2009
Jay-Z has finally announced a release date for his much-anticipated album ‘Blueprint 3’. It took him long enough. The record will be released through Warner Music Group instead of Def Jam and it is set to hit stores on September 11th. The release date, as well as being 8 years after the 9/11 attacks, is also the 8th anniversary of the rapper’s first ‘Blueprint’ album. I guess it all comes full circle for him. Or maybe he planned it that way. If so, shame on him for making his fans wait. But then again, maybe he just waited until he could get out of Def Jam.

Kelly Clarkson is All I Ever Wanted
Posted in Album Release, American Idol, Kelly Clarkson on the January 14, 2009
Forget about masquerades as Kelly Clarkson’s upcoming fourth studio album has been officially called ‘All I Ever Wanted’. The album is set to drop in the stores on March 17 while the first single off of it, ‘My Life Would Suck Without You’ is set to hit radio airwaves next Monday, January 19th. The song was written by pop gurus Max Martin and Dr. Luke. It definitely looks like her sound is going to be more on pop now than the grunge that was ‘My December’. I hope this one does better than her last effort too. Good luck goes out to her!
Keisha Chante is Aaliyah
Posted in Album Release, Keisha Chante on the January 6, 2009
Canadian-born R&B singer Keisha Chante has been tapped to portray the late singer Aaliyah in a biopic which chronicles the life and untimely death of the hip-hop and R&B artist. The film is scheduled to screens next year. Although Keisha’s acting resume isn’t something to brag about, she has starred in a number of independent film and also boasts a 2006 alum called ‘2U’. She also has another album on the way. Sources say that the virtual unknown was cast as Aaliyah for her striking resemblance to the multi Grammy-nominated singer. Hmm, I don’t think she looks that much like Aaliyah.

MILKING THE COW, YET AGAIN - Rihanna
Posted in Album Release, Rihanna on the December 20, 2008
I guess when an artist has a really good album, they’d use and reuse the album until they can’t earn a penny from it.
Rihanna is going to repackage her album in early 2009 called Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded.
Basically, she’s going to remix all her songs that we love so much!
And earn a great deal of money from it!
The album is slated for a January 27th release and contains 12 tracks, 2 of which are remixes of her ubiquitous Umbrella.
We can’t wait!
Milk it while everybody wants the cow!!!

Britney Spears Sneak Peek
Posted in Album Release, Britney Spears on the December 16, 2008
According to an exclusive sneak peek, Britney Spears’ Circus tour is going to be a three-ringed spectacle when it gets to town. I guess they’re really hitting the circus theme hard. The recovered pop singer’s tour promises a three act treat which chronicle’s her rise to fame, her fall and her recovery through a circus concept. In the first act, Brit runs away to join the circus but it can only offer her smoke and mirrors and not the companionship she craves. According to an insider “Brit is seen having fun in this crazy world and falling in love with a circus freak.” Britney then escapes the clutches of the circus and is reunited with her family and friends.
