Usher’s new single not about his divorce
Posted in New Single, Usher on the October 19, 2009
Usher’s new single Papers was widely believed to be the story of the recent breakdown of his marriage.
But according to the song’s writer, it was instead written about the strain of Usher’s relationship with his mother.
Sean Garrett, who claims the song was written before the singer’s divorce, explained: “Some of it is true and some of it isn’t.
“That’s what makes this record so intriguing and explosive. Some of it is about his life and some of it is not.
” ‘I damn near lost my mama/been through so much drama?’ That was more so from the perspective of when Usher and his mom weren’t working together that much.
“And, in every relationship, it’s important for the man to get his mother’s approval. That’s the perspective I was coming from.”
Papers was recorded in Atlanta some six weeks ago and Usher reportedly expressed reservations about its release.
Garrett said: “I wrote that record about eight months ago, before he was even getting a divorce. The record is not about Tameka Foster Raymond and those are not his words.
“I’m a great songwriter; I know how to write great songs! I felt like it was a record he needed to say. There were days I could just imagine what Usher was thinking.”

Posted in Music, New Single, Song, Tokio Hotel, album on the October 6, 2009
Head over to Tokio Hotel’s Myspace for an exclusive listen of their album Humanoid. The first single, “Automatic” is a metallic anthem with layered, buzzing guitars, stomping percussion, and a falsetto chorus made to be belted out by a stadium full of people while “World Behind My Wall” redefines the power ballad with depth, introspection, musical confidence and an irresistible sing-along chorus. The band tracked songs in Hamburg, Miami, and L.A. “Bill drove us all crazy, constantly coming in with things, even though the old songs weren’t finished yet,” says Tom, who’s fond of frequently ribbing his brother. “Apart from that, we just didn’t limit ourselves, and we used new instruments.”
The album does not hit stores until tomorrow, but the band is streaming all 12 tracks from the standard version until midnight. Like what you hear? Preorder the sci-fi themed release on iTunes now.

Posted in New LP, New Single, Pink on the October 7, 2008
This week, singer/songwriter P!nk ascends to the number one position on the U.S. singles chart with her smash hit, “So What.” The irresistible rocking single tops Billboard’s “Hot 100 Singles,” “Hot Digital Songs” and “Hot Digital Tracks” charts, and is the number one radio airplay gainer for four weeks in a row, making it one of the top 10 most played songs at CHR radio stations. The David Meyers directed video is currently in rotation on VH-1, Fuse, Music Choice, and is one of the top ten videos on MTV.
“So What” was co-written by P!nk and produced by collaborator Max Martin, who worked with her on “Who Knew” and ”U + Ur Hand.” The New York Times describes the first single from her forthcoming album, Funhouse, as “guitar-charged and aggressively bouncy.” Funhouse is her fifth studio effort and is slated for release on October 28th.
New Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood has just released a new video for her new single ‘Just a Dream’. It’s the fourth single from her second studio album ‘Carnival Ride’. The video, which was directed by Roman White, follows a young woman who is about to get married only to find out that her husband-to-be soldier has been killed in combat. Upon realizing that the love of her life is dead, she wishes that it were just a dream and that her husband is still alive. I haven’t seen the video yet and I can tell that I might need a tissue for when I do get to watch it.
Publicity Didn’t Help Mariah Carey
Posted in Album Release, LOVE, Lyrics, Madonna, Mariah Carey, New Single on the May 8, 2008
Despite the massive amount of media attention that she received after her surprise wedding to Nick Cannon last week, Mariah’s new single ‘Bye Bye’ has dropped from #22 to #41 on this week’s Soundscan singles chart in America. People may be interested in her wedding but it seems like no one gives a crap about her single. It sucks for her. But congratulations goes out to Madonna whose single ‘4 Minutes’ is at #3 this week with her second single ‘Give It 2 Me’ debuting at #21. I wonder if anything good will happen to Mariah’s career if she suddenly announces that she was pregnant.
