Follow JT’s Lead
Posted in Justin Timberlake, Myspace, New Single on the November 30, 2008
Justin Timberlake has debuted an exclusive track on MySpace Music called ‘Follow My Lead’. The song also features YouTube discovery Esmee Denters, the first artist signed to JT’s record label, Tennman Records. MySpace Music also features a pre-recorded footage and interviews from his concert ‘Justin Timberlake and Friends, a Special Evening Benefiting the Shriners Hospital for Children’ with performances by 50 Cent, Adam Levine, Boyz II Men, Leona Lewis, Lionel Richie, Rihanna, The Jonas Brothers and will.i.am. Proceeds from the song will benefit the Shriners Hospitals for Children. I guess the song fits well with JT’s aims. Let’s all follow his lead and give back.
Kanye West to release new album on MySpace Music
Posted in Album Release, Kanye West, Myspace on the November 24, 2008
Previously too major artists like Paul McCartney, Beyonce & band Guns N Roses have release some kind of music stream on websites just prior to the official release of their album. And now Kanye West too has gone the same way.
West’s new “808s & Heartbreak” will be available in the market this coming Monday but fans shall be able to listen to the full CD on MySpace. It’s an ‘in thing’ method of promoting one’s album just a couple of day before the CD’s actual release.
But for Kanye I would rather suggest that he releases music CD ‘in space’ or better inside a black hole so that the black hole can just suck it in and release it into some other galaxy and we people living on earth are spared another thrash album.
More so I would call it a flop because in today’s economic downturn he should either distribute the CD free of cost with a national daily and if not then please do not add to global warming by releasing unneeded plastic waste.
Newton Faulkner – “Gone in the Morningâ€
Posted in Live Music, Music Festivals, Myspace, Newton Faulkner on the June 13, 2008
Newton Faulkner, goes into summer 2008 with the release of his latest single ‘Gone in the Morning’ on July 7th through Ugly Truth Records.
A massive live favorite ‘Gone in the Morning’ is the perfect summer anthem-in-waiting, ideal for beach, picnic or garden with its infectious chorus, supersharp vocals and rolling bassline.
‘Gone in the Morning’ is the latest track to be taken from Newton’s spectacularly successful Number One & Double Platinum debut album, ‘Hand Built By Robots’, which has so far sold 700,000 copies in the UK alone.
23 year old Newton has also started spreading the word globally with his first North American and European live dates - a highlight being an especially exciting performance that took place in a hot air balloon high over the Swiss Alps. Meanwhile his recent US sell-out shows have been watched by none other than Kings of Leon (in Nashville) and Scarlett Johansson (NYC).
After a series of successful festival shows in 2007, Newton comes back to play bigger stages at several key UK festivals this summer including Glastonbury (Other and Acoustic stages), Isle of Wight Festival, T in the Park and V 2008. He also plays various international festivals including Oxygen in Ireland and Lollapalooza & Bonnaroo in the US.
A genuine British grass roots success story, Newton is a true DIY phenomenon with Myspace plays now approaching an amazing 2.5 million.

The rocker of this season’s American Idol, David Cook, was on fire with his rendition of the Beatles classic ‘Eleanor Rigby’ on Tuesday night but a Seattle band is claiming that he ripped off the arrangement from them. The band Doxology recorded their version of the song over a year ago and put it up on iTunes and the band’s MySpace. Their manager claims that the song is what they’re best known for and have played it at nearly 200 shows. They say that they have no intention of suing but they are trying to get in touch with the show hoping to at least get a bit of props.
