Britney Spears: 'Radar' [NEW SINGLE!]

2008-05-26T03:41:00.003-04:00

Britney Spears is releasing her fourth single, 'Radar' to radio on June 24th- and I'm sure it will do just as well as the previous singles. The video is also rumored to be shot during that time period- here's to hoping it's great. Every single from 'Blackout' has gone top 40, so hopefully this one will as well. It's a safe single choice, but hopefully they release something like 'Toy Soldier', 'Get Naked' or 'Perfect Lover' next- or even release a slower song like 'Why Should I Be Sad'.

Janet Jackson: 'LUV' [LIVE @ Ellen Degeneres Show]

2008-05-26T03:37:00.001-04:00

*Word is they are scrapping 'Can't B Good' as the next single and instead going to push 'LUV' as the next wide single release this summer. Hopefully this is right and she has a huge hit this summer- it should have been the second single!

Madonna: 'Candy Shop' [Promo Tour Studio Mix]

2008-05-26T02:50:00.003-04:00

Madonna has done three promo shows around the globe in support of her recent smash album 'Hard Candy' and the promo tour version of 'Candy Shop', the tours opening song has leaked. It's much better than the album version- has added beats and parts, and has smoother vocals. It's a great mix, and hopefully the other studio versions will leak as well. Definitely look forward to the studio mix of '4 Minutes'.

Cyndi Lauper is releasing her new studio album 'Bring Ya To The Brink' on May 27th, 2008- and it's an amazing album featuring beautiful ballad and hot dance tracks. I've never been a huge fan of Cyndi Lauper- and only know a few songs but I'm definitely going to buy this album because it's an amazing album. It reminds me of Madonna's 'Confessions On A Dancefloor' blended with Kylie's 'X' with a touch of 'Ray Of Light' mixed in there as well. It's a stunning record. A MUST LISTEN.

Cyndi Lauper: 'Into The Night Life' [NEW SINGLE!]

2008-05-25T16:54:00.005-04:00

Cyndi Lauper is releasing her new album 'Bring Ya The Brink' on May 30th in the US, and the next single from the album will be 'Into The Night Life' which is the best track on the album and definitely the hottest song I've heard in a long while. It's addicting and deserves to be a huge hit although it won't because it's Cyndi and she's not really relevant anymore, but hopefully I'll hear this in the club!

Alanis Morissette is releasing her new studio album 'Flavors Of Entanglement' on June 10th, 2008- and it's one hell of an album. It's probably her best album since 'Jagged Little Pill' which was released over a decade ago. It's brilliant and the lyrics are insane. This is definitely an album you should purchase this year if you should choose to do. 'Versions Of Violence', 'Not As We', 'Moratorium' and 'Straitjacket' are choice pics. One of the best albums of 2008.

Lil' Kim: 'Respirator' [NEW SINGLE!]

2008-05-25T14:51:00.003-04:00

Lil' Kim is back with a new single 'Respirator' from a new album coming out, and the song is alright- but much too vocoded for my liking. She doesn't need to vocode her voice, but it's whatever I guess. The song isn't bad- just sounds awkward having her voice changed for the chorus and parts of the song. I liked her last albums singles- but we'll see how this album goes. See what you think, below!

Paula Abdul ft. Akon- 'Dance Like' [REMIX]

2008-05-25T14:31:00.002-04:00

Paula Abdul is releasing a new album with new remixes of her past songs, plus new songs- and this happens to be one of them. It's a new remix of her dance hit single 'Dance Like There's No Tomorrow' and it's remixed by Akon and featuring Akon. It's a nice version and I definitely cannot wait for her new album.

Lindsay Lohan: 'Bossy' [NEW SINGLE!]

2008-05-18T17:50:00.002-04:00

Lindsay Lohan is releasing a new album this summer/fall- and the new single 'Bossy' will hit radio later this month or into next month. It hasn't been confirmed entirely by her label or such- but People Magazine is calling it the next single so I'm pretty sure it will be. It's a nice song- but It could have been better. She has great material overall so I'm excited to hear the new album which is released this summer.

Jordin Sparks: 'One Step At A Time' [NEW SINGLE!]

2008-05-18T17:47:00.005-04:00

Jordin Sparks has had a very successful singles run with this album- although it hasn't sold nearly as much as it should have with her success singles-wise. It's performing like Rihanna- hit singles, but not much sales wise in the states. 'One Step At A Time' is a safe choice for her next single- and it's released in June to Mainstream Pop Radio. The next single should be 'Freeze' this fall- it's perfect for the time of year.

Alanis Morissette is releasing her new album 'Flavors Of Entanglement' on June 10th in the US, and her new single is not doing so well. It's a great song, but I don't mind it not doing well since the album sounds great. 'Versions Of Violence' has to be one of the best songs she has done in years. It's absolutely brilliant. This album is sounding better than even 'Jagged Little Pill'- could this be her 'Ray Of Light' of sorts? Listen to the song below and see what you think!

2008-05-12T22:26:00.004-04:00

Miley Cyrus is releasing her new solo album 'Breakout' in July, and the lead single from the album is the song '7 Things'. It's a good song and should do well after the huge success of 'See You Again'. Think of a mix between Avril Lavigne and Ashlee Simpson for the sound of this single. It's definitely a nice song and I'm starting to like it more and more with each listen. Download the radio rip below and check it out!

New Britney Spears Album This Year?

2008-05-08T22:49:00.002-04:00

The Sun are reporting that Britney is going to be releasing a new album towards the end of this year. Jive are very impressed with Britneys new material and have decided to have Britneys new album released at the same time as Whitney Houstons new album.

A label source said: “Britney has been on fire in the studio of late. During recording sessions for the last album she was consumed by her chaotic private life. But she is determined to make a triumphant comeback. Top brass have been amazed by the quality of tracks they’ve heard. Whitney is set for another relaunch at the same time later in the year. They’re determined Brit will come out on top.”
