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"

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!
