According to Idolator, Nicole Scherzinger will be returning to her raunchy song and dance act after her solo career failed to set the charts alight.
Nicole’s decision to go solo after the Pussycat Dolls first album was something which shocked me. The Dolls had barely broken as an act, though admittedly Nicole was the only member of the group people recognised. Surely the music equivalent of premature ejaculation, Nicole decided that the time was right to go it alone.
Missy Elliott is giving her fans the opportunity to name her latest album, due out in May 2008. The lucky winner not only gets not name a Missy album (how cool is that?), but they also will get an official credit on the album as well as a $500.00 Adidas gift card.
If you want to get a sneak peak at some songs from the new album, head over to Missy’s MySpace page and check out Ching-A-Ling and Shake Your Pom Pom.
Problem. I love Kanye West, but I hate Chris Martin. And yet here they are, collaborating on West’s latest single, Homecoming.
I have to admit, Chris Martin was the last person I expected to find on a Kanye West track. Taking whiny Indie vocals and adding them to a hip-hop track doesn’t work.
Work is the single where Kelly Rowland finally steps out from the shadow of Beyonce Knowles’ formidable ass and stands on her own. Well, almost. The BBC Chartblog has taken the time to compare the original version versus the Freemasons’ remix.
Needless to say, the the Freemasons version of Work is far superior. But where other people are hearing an ethnic-influenced riff, I can only hear a variation on the Knight Rider theme. That’s not a bad thing, just an observation - the Knight Rider theme has been used successfully in pop music before.
Just when you think Timbaland’s run out of tunes, along he comes with a new single, Scream. And he’s brought protege Keri Hilson and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger along for the ride.
While it’s not the most immediately accessible single from the Shock Value album, Scream will grow on you like every Timbaland single before it. The intro has a funky vibe to it, with Timbo getting out the guitars and some authentic sounding drums for a change.
It’s hard to believe, but Barbados-born warbler Rihanna’s been bothering worldwide charts since 2005, peaking in the summer of 2007 with Umbrella.
She’s one of the hottest pop/R&B artists in the world right now, so we’ve taken a look back over Rihanna’s singles and picked out the best musical moments of her career so far. Starting with…
This one hasn’t been released in the UK yet, but it’s going to be an instant dancefloor classic.
It’s probably the most blatantly club-oriented track Rihanna has released to date (yes, even better than SOS). Pumping bass, classic Jacko sample and tres hot video. Brill.
In these parts, Lupe Fiasco is still better known as Kanye West’s sidekick in the Touch The Sky video.
All that could be about to change though, when Mr Fiasco releases Superstar, an amazingly slick R&B groove about every rapper’s favourite subject: the high life.
We don’t have too many odes to butt shaking in the UK, do we? Well, thanks to Dizzee, now we do.
There’s certainly nothing refined about Mr. Rascal’s rhymes on Flex. An American hip-hop artist would tend toward smoother, grinding beats, but Flex is ridiculously up-tempo, so the video doesn’t lend itself to slow gyrations. Therefore the girls in the video are shaking their asses like their lives depended on it!
Earlier this week, Kanye West released the second single from his Graduation album, Good Life.
What can we say? West is one of those rappers who always gets it right. Good Life shows that while he can rap along with the best of them, Kanye also has an ear for a good tune, mixing in parts of Michael Jackson’s Pretty Young Thing.
Despite spawning a number of massive singles, Timbaland’s Shock Value album hasn’t been a critical success. We’ve trawled the web for quality reviews of the album and that many music writers were left cold by the quality of the album.
Should Timbaland stay strictly backstage? Read on and find out.
