A new arrival on the Last Train to Paris is here, or a potential rider. The song is entitled ” They Don’t Love Me” and features The-Dream.
This sounds like it needs mastering but besides that, everything we’ve heard that’s meant for Last Train… including the LQ club rips sounds amazing. If the album ever sees the light of day it will have the clubs vibrating with joy, sound systems booming for life and humans moving uncontrollably.

If Lady GaGa and Britney Spears collaborated what could we expect? A 90’s infused , uptempo radio jam, of course. Some unknown female vocalist submitted this demo to Britney Spears. There are so many demos nowadays but this one would actually sound fitting to the duo. It most likely will not happen but we wonder if this demo will do for this song as “Silly Boy” did for Eva Simmons… nahhhh.
A few days ago a bonus track from the Japanese edition of Graffiti entitled “They Say” leaked. Today, an unexpected demo of the very same song leaked with Kelis on vocal duties and Jean Baptiste on background… The songs are identical except for a few ad-libs from Brown’s version and a few other elements here and there as it is a finished track. Although Brown’s version is finished Kelis wins this battle as her voice is more suited for the type of song. Her vocal style just complements the production better than Brown’s deeper pitch.

About a month ago producer Russ Castella tweeted about working with Britney Spears on a new song for her upcoming compilation album, The Singles Collection. Well today the song leaked under the titled “Bad Girl” (formerly “Dirty Girl”). It is unclear whether or not this is the final version or some demo because we previously learned that there are singers who can sound identical to the signed artists i.e. Rihanna in “Emergency Room”.
Wow this is a lot more urban for Britney. The song is fire and Britney is always consistent with bringing good music. Of course the lyrics mean nothing deep and what’s more unsurprising than Wayne showing up with a verse to offer. This definitely will do well on the radio if released as a single. Like we just mentioned Britney is consistent, even when all else seemed downhill in her personal life she produced the best album of her career, Blackout. Also, isn’t it funny that both Madonna and Britney are releasing their greatest hits albums and each of them has a new song with Weezy; coincidental.
Another forthcoming cut from Mariah’s Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is here for us to preview with The-Dream singing the demo. The demo is for the song “They Don’t Know Me”.
The-Dream is somethin’ else. His mind is perfect to interpret women’s feelings; no wonder he landed C. Milli. Also his talent for singing in a falsetto is off the wall but back to the song. The faith is being restored in Mimi’s album; that it won’t be a group of forgettable radio friendly tunes. Tricky Stewart’s production on this one is chilled and the overall vibe is smooth and melodical. The-Dream’s singing style is a great reference to how Mariah will actually sound so it’s almost like listening to the final version. Great stuff!
After returning to the states from the London listening party of I Look to You, R&B diva Whitney Houston and music legend Clive Davis gave a NYC audience a preview of what’s to come from Houston’s release. The event took place at the Allen Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center last night. It’s been 8 years since we had an album from Whitney so the anticipation is high.
In a room filled with everyone from Alicia Keys to Martha Stewart, Whitney’s new album was followed by many standing ovations. It appears this truly is Houston’s time to shine again. We previously had the opinion that this would be a warm-up album for her but this seems to be what The Emancipation of Mimi was for Mariah. Also a 30 sec. snippet of the title track from the listening party has appeared online.
CLASSIC, TIMELESS, A DAMN BEAUTY! Whitney Houston has returned. The R. Kelly demo is just as great and Whitney executes this song with such ease. This does not disappoint, we’ll be listening to this twenty years from now. Also, Whitney’s official first single is “Million Dollar Bill” (written and produced by Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats). It is described as:
An up-tempo, joyful track about love and probably one of the funkiest songs Whitney has ever done. “Million Dollar Bill” has an amazing bass line and almost recalls early Michael Jackson in Off The Wall. The catchy hook, “You make me feel like a million dollar bill.” Her vocal is strong with some power notes toward the end. The song has an Alicia Keys sound but fits for Whit — it’s current without making her seem like she is trying to compete with teenagers. The song received a standing ovation. [SOURCE]
It should be known by now that the majority of Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is written and produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart. Earlier today we got a taste of what Mariah Carey’s second single will sound like. “H.A.T.E.U.” leaked in the form of a very low quality snippet from a Def Jam party two months ago and now The-Dream sings the demo under the title “Can’t Wait to Hate You”.
Lovin’ this song. It’s definitely the opposite of “Obsessed” tempo-wise but it’s lyrical content and quality seems to be levels above it. It’s like a genuine song for the stans to enjoy instead of a song with the intention of making it to #1. Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel in stores August 25, 2009.
WELLLLLLLL… What can we say about the pic above. First let’s state that some of the readers and our friends say we post too much on Rihanna but hey she’s an attraction; big nose n all psssh.
Rihanna spent her Independence Weekend chillin’ in Vegas with friends acquaintances. On Friday evening she attended the Jay-Z and Ciara concert at The Palms Casino Resort. The picture above was taken at the Tao club the next night where she partied it up with Jay-Z and others. Now, the picture above inspired this post and not for the assumed perverted reasons. All we can say is she is definitely caught up in the lifestyle of the Hollyweird crew. Is it us or are most style icons the freakiest people? Anyway, who are we to judge.
This over saturated media of Rihanna is making us itch in anticipation of her forthcoming fourth album. There are dozens upon dozens demos that were sent and are probably still being sent to her label in hopes that it will be recorded by the Bajan. You didn’t think such manufactured greatness wrote her own songs? So after rummaging through all the demos we came across one we like.
News broke a few months back that Ryan Tedder was added to the list to work on Rihanna’s 4th LP. I guess this is a taste of what he has come up with for the label her. It’s entitled “Something” and is a 1:20 snippet. By the sound of the vocals the girl singing is Esmee Denters. This song is a really good choice for her album; not for a first single but definitely as an album cut. We’re still unexpectedly anticipating Umbrella Pt. 2. It’s an oxymoron that fits exactly how we feel.
When it comes to that contemporary R&B sound (more Dance influence) the Jackie Boyz are the ones to go to. They also make some pretty nice ballads, it’s just safe to say this duo has some real talent. Here is a new one from them, well not technically because it’s them singing a demo for a female. The song is entitled “Wash My Hands” and basically speaks about relationship that ends badly and the female has decided to completely remove that person from her life. Another hot track for tonight, tonight is a good one for us.
Madonna’s “Greatest Hits” album is to be released in a few months and she is adding some new material to assist with the release. One is a collaboration with Lil Wayne entitled “Revolver”. The female’s vocals are not hers as this is a demo but listening to it this is a smart move. The song itself isn’t anything groundbreaking but at the same time these are two genres intersecting and opens many doors for new fans. When the final version is released we assume it will be a bit better.
