• Three Tracks Leak From Chris Brown’s F.A.M.E.

  03.08.11 | 2 Comments

  

  The tracks are leaking one by one off of Chris Brown’s F.A.M.E. LP. Solid as always but Brown’s music has yet to reach anything near the caliber of a comeback prince. Take a listen to three tracks below.

  “Rock, Paper, Scissors” features Big Sean and Timbaland. Assuming this is produced by Timbaland, this is one of the weaker tracks to leak from the album.

  Chris Brown samples SWV’S “Right Here,” which sampled Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature,” for “She Ain’t You.” I guess it takes a sample of a classic because this song is nice.

  In a recent interview, Chris Brown speaks about his peers coming around now that he is riding high on the charts. Well it is definitely true as Justin Bieber jumps on “Next 2 U.” If this was 2009, or even 2010 you know this collab would not be possible. The song is what you would expect from a midtempo from the two.

• Chris Brown: ‘F.A.M.E.’ Album Art + 2 New Tracks

  02.15.11 | No Comments

  

  Chris Brown tweeted his frustrations over his Grammy losses the other day, but he should be over it by now. Yesterday, the artistic guy unveiled the official album art for his F.A.M.E. album, due out on March 22. Very colorful, the art falls in line with that hipster-like/mismatched style of Brown.

  Brown is not releasing anymore tracks from album just yet but he is featured on two new tracks, one of T-Pain and one of Justin Bieber.

  In T-Pain’s latest single entitled “Best Love Song,” Brown assist with autotuned vocals. The song is radio food and is what we’ve come to expect from Pain: autotune, blaring melody, loudness.

  Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

  The next is of Brown, jumping on the remix for Justin Bieber’s “Up.” The song is a really nice midtempo. With similar sounding voices, Bieber and Brown nails this R&B/Pop tune. Brown tweeted, “I know y’all are excited about this bieber breezy collab on his album but this record on my FAME album we got is killing everything!!!”

• Master & Protégé Video Premieres: Usher “OMG” + Justin Bieber “Never Let You Go”

  03.30.10 | 2 Comments

  Today, March 30, Usher’s Raymond vs. Raymond hits music outlets and to accompany the release of the album is the release of the music video for the album’s first international single, “OMG,” feat. Will.I.Am. The clip was directed by Anthony Mandler.

  From the get go with the black background and lasers the video reminds us of “Yeah.” Then there’s some split screen action with Will.I.Am and Usher doing their own little dance moves. The video further progresses into some studio sets, more cool lighting effects and some sexy choreography from the ladies donning all black. There’s even a 3D effect thrown in for fun.

  WATCH VIDEO HERE!

  Justin Bieber’s second single from My World 2.0, “Never Let You Go,” receives the video treatment. Like “Baby,” the video for “Never Let You Go” is set in a family friendly environment, an aquarium. If we didn’t know any better we’d think they shot the video over here, in The Bahamas. It’s a fun and appropriate video, check it out!

• Justin Bieber Feels the Same Way About Mariah Carey…

  03.24.10 | No Comments

  

  With news of Mariah Carey’s Angel’s Advocate remix album being shelved and the follow-up news that she is heading back into the studio to record a new studio album, most people think it’s best if she goes on a major hiatus to re-prioritize her music. Well current male Pop sensation, Justin Bieber, also had something to say about a possible duet with the diva, here’s how he replied:

  “I don’t love her new music, it’s not the same,” the Canadian pop singing sensation told The Sun. “It’s like Michael Jordan coming back out to play in the NBA. She is past her best.” [SOURCE]

  This boy has more sense than we give him credit for. Maybe he should have used some of that common sense to NOT take part in that “We Are the World” remake. Anyways, what Bieber said, 100 percent the truth. Mariah Carey may have been able to dish  out album after album, year after year, but that’s when she was fresh on the scene. After 2 decades of endless releases an artist should start to take longer breaks in between albums. She had about 20 years of pent up talent to release when her first album came out… Take a break, and let the talent rebuild itself.

• Who Does It Justice? Justin Bieber vs. Usher

  03.14.10 | 5 Comments

  

  Both Justin Bieber and Usher recorded a song entitled “Somebody to Love”; it was to appear on Usher’s Raymond vs. Raymond but was scrapped and was later adopted by Bieber’s My World 2.0. So who does the song justice, the teenager or the adult?

  The production of this song is radio friendly; Bieber’s version is just mastered. Being completely honest, neither of them out do each other because both gents cut an enjoyable and listenable track for the radios. That’s just us, of course your opinions will vary.

• Drake, Avril, Furtado + More Canadians Cover K’Naan’s “Wavin’ Flag” For Haiti

  03.12.10 | No Comments

  

  The Americans redid “We Are the World” for Haiti and the British covered R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts” so now the Canadians are making their own musical contribution to Haiti. Somali musician K’Naan has made quite an impact with his uplifting song “Wavin’ Flag” as it is the this 2010 theme song for the Fifa World Cup and now Canada’s choice for a song for Haiti.

  Nelly Furtado, Drake, Kardinal Offishall, Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne, Fefe Dobson amongst many other Canadian artists sing and rap their hearts out for this international tune. From Drake’s solo rap verse and on, this song just gets to us.

  We’ve been following K’Naan ever since we heard “In the Beginning” on the Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay soundtrack. It’s a good feeling when all types of people can get into the same song, INTERNATIONAL: chills. Listen to the Canadian collab of “Wavin’ Flag” after…
