Nicole's Album - Pushed back to 2008!

For the third time this fall, Nicole Scherzinger's debut CD is being pushed back again, this time to 2008, confirms Interscope.

Her Name is Nicole, was supposed to be released on October 6th, and again on November 6th. Then, facing stiff chart competition from Jay-Z and Chris Brown, it was moved to Nov. 20.

Scherzinger's post-Pussycat effort, which has been in the works for more than two years and features collaborations with will.i.am, Sting, Snowpatrol's Gary Lightbody, T.I., and Akon, was meant to launch Scherzinger as a solo artist on the same playing field as Interscope label-mates Gwen Stefani and Fergie.

After a negative response to the dance track "Whatever U Like," and with her second single, "Baby Love," nowhere near the Hot 100, insiders say Scherzinger's team is "rethinking" the roll-out while leaving an option open for more studio time.

Britney's Radio Album Promotion

Britney is really lucky that her fans haven't given up on her because she clearly doesn't care about them. In an interview with Ryan Seacrest she clearly showed that she didn't have interest in promoting her album very much. First her friends had to wake her up for her to talk to Ryan, then she left in the middle of the interview to take a shower. How can anyone take her seriously as an artist.

Kanye West's "Flashing Lights"

(source: Rap-Up.com)

Rap-Up.com has put up the new cover art of Kanye West's new single, "Flashing Lights". The title is shaped in neon pink fonts while a topless animated woman stands in the middle of star rain. The design is part of the whole concept done in 'Graduation' by Takashi Murakami. The Japanese artist also helmed the art works of West's first two singles from the album, 'Can't Tell Me Nothin'' and 'Stronger'.

Here's "Flashing Lights" (this isn't an official video, it's a preview of the song)

What I really like about songs of Kanye in general is that they have a completely different sound and tune to everything else which is out there in the Hip Hop industry, he's unique!

Prince Video - "Somewhere Here On Earth"

A snippet of Prince's new video "Somewhere Here On Earth" has just been released! I personally love this song, the tune is gentle and beautiful. In addition, in this video Prince tried to portray a story about love, pain, and honesty. It's a charming jazz piece, and I am sure that any Prince fan will love it. The video was shot in Prague and directed by Phil Griffin, who has a very impressive resume of videos with all kinds of famous artists.

I've just updated this post with a YouTube video, the one from Dailymotion didn't work anymore, enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Sony BMG might drop J.Lo!

Following the flop that was Brave, Sony BMG is looking to drop Jennifer Lopez, according to former OK! Magazine Gossip Girl Courtney H. Sources at Epic, Sony’s parent company, tell Court that the label is sick of footing the bill for promotion of Jenn’s lackluster LPs.

“She costs too much money and doesn’t sell enough,” says the source. “Her last album cover alone cost $60,000 in hair and makeup, lighting, photographers, re-touching, etc. The video budget was in the neighborhood of $300,000.”

“Epic had to eat the cost for that entire performance. From her makeup which typically costs in the neighborhood of $8,000 per day to the backup singers, to the rigging, lighting and sound. The woman requires everything short of flying monkeys to get on a stage.”

“Sony and Epic might keep her, but she’ll be doing little more than greatest hits albums. That you can do without incurring a huge cost. The label is tired of throwing money away.” Jennifer recent appearance on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars reportedly set the label back $60,000. (source: Pop Crunch)

It’s the first time I have decided to use a Spanish word for one of our fragrances. We really look at where I am at in my life and what is important to me at that time. But the one thing that we have always concentrated on from the beginning is to be as truthful as we can.”

Purple Rain - Best Soundtrack of all Time!

Prince's 'Purple Rain' has been voted the best film soundtrack of all time.

The album, which accompanied the 1984 film of the same name in which Prince starred, tops a list of the 50 Greatest Movie Soundtracks compiled by the editors of Vanity Fair magazine.
The magazine's bosses said: "The 'Purple Rain' soundtrack is a flawless combination of funk, R'n'B, pop, metal and even psychedelia into a sound that defined the '80s."

'Purple Rain' spawned several hit singles, including 'When Doves Cry', 'Let's Go Crazy' and 'I Would Die 4 U', and during the year of its release Prince topped the US film, singles and album charts at the same time.

In second place was The Beatles' 'A Hard Day's Night', while the soundtrack to 'The Harder They Come' came in at number three.
