Uh oh! Ciara’s upcoming 4th album Basic Instinct which was originally slated for an August 17th release date has been pushed back to October 5th. That’s quite a time difference. No word as to why this has happened, but this type of news is never good (for the artist or the fans).
Ciara’s first official single from the album ‘Ride’ (which is still ‘aaaard) has recently broken into the top 5 on the R&B/Hip Hop songs chart. Let’s hope this positive news ensures this album eventually does see the light of day and moreover gets the right (financial) backing it ‘deserves’.
P.s I think they can come hard with the album artwork too.
Pharrell Williams recently sat down with Interview Magazine for…an interview (go figure!). Peep the (dope) pictures here and then go here to read the interview in full. Spotted over at Ye’ crib.
Solange Knowles, looking all kinds of hot, performs ‘Sex Karma’ with Montreal’s lead singer Kevin Barnes on the Jimmy Fallon show.
While I’ve never been a MASSIVE fan of Solange’s voice, there is something about her I like. Her music isn’t bad, in fact, it’s actually kinda good. It took me a while to get into her last album, but I eventually did – her song writing on that album was so on point. Not to mention, she’s really coming into herself style wise – she looks so dope in the video up top.
I don’t post film trailers. PinBoard is a MUSIC site. But, this, this is too much and I had to share it.
I actually don’t have words for this. The only thing I can come up with is: A MADNESS!
You’re telling me with all the great writers out there (heck, I know some amazing aspiring script writers) this is the best Hollywood can come up with? A sequel to a film which had one of the most DEFINITE endings? Seriously? I actually can’t believe this is real, I feel like it’s one of those ‘Scary Movie’ films. Beyond dumb.
Michael Jackson fans around the world will be happy to hear that a new album, featuring ALL-NEW material is scheduled to be released this November. According to Frank DiLeo, Jacksons manager, at the time of MJ’s death he “left hard drives filled with unheard music, much of it recorded during [his] 80′s peak”. These songs are said to include collaborations with Akon, Will.I.Am and Ne-Yo, as well as material cut from the Bad album.
This album is part of a 10-year project, seven year deal the Jackson estate signed with Sony Music back in March – a deal estimated to be worth over $250 million that will also include reissues of The King of Pop’s classic albums, new Greatest Hits sets, a DVD collection of his most iconic videos and a Cirque du Soleil show. Not to mention video games like the one due out at the end of the year.
I’m torn here. I would L-O-V-E to hear brand new MJ music, this is especially true if they’re from the 80′s. But, the cynical side of me is thinking – is this just exploitation? His children are taken care of, financially. They will never need for anything – and nor should they – it’s what Michael wanted. As are his family etc. So, for me, this is just another way of cashing in on his legacy when while he was alive Sony Records didn’t do ANYTHING to help him. In fact, at the time of his death MJ never even had a record deal.
I think, when this new music drops – I’ll be bootlegging it. Straight up. That way my concious will be clear but I still get to enjoy the great music.
