SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Lady Gaga announced today that she will release The Fame Monster, a re-package of her 4 million-selling album The Fame. The album will include the entire breakthrough album The Fame, along with eight entirely new songs. The Fame Monster (Streamline/KonLive/Cherrytree/Interscope Records), deals with the seamier side of fame, as experienced by Gaga over the course of her last history-making year. The new version will be released on November 24, 2009.
Says Lady Gaga, "On my re-release The Fame Monster, I wrote about everything I didn't write on The Fame. While traveling the world for two years, I've encountered several monsters, each represented by a different song on the new record: my 'Fear of Sex Monster,' my 'Fear of Alcohol Monster,' my 'Fear of Love Monster,' my 'Fear of Death Monster,' my 'Fear of Loneliness Monster,' etc."
"I spent a lot of nights in Eastern Europe, and this album is a pop experimentation with industrial/Goth beats, 90's dance melodies, an obsession with the lyrical genius of 80's melancholic pop, and the runway. I wrote while watching muted fashion shows and I am compelled to say my music was scored for them. I also composed a ballad for the album, 'Speechless,' a song for my father, and it's my favorite work of all. I wrote every piece on the road - no songs about money, no songs about fame. I wrote it for my fans, so I wrote everything in between."
The first club-banging single, the RedOne-produced "Bad Romance," will be released in early November. Other collaborators on the new tracks include Teddy Riley, Rodney Jerkins, Ron Fair and Fernando Garibay.
Lady Gaga is also in the process of planning her next tour after her co-headlining tour with Kanye West was canceled last week.

Three years ago, a 13-year old Taylor Swift set out to be a star and moved from Reading, Pennsylvania, to Nashville. By 14, she had a publishing deal, and by 15, a recording contract. In these days of Bianca Ryan (and before her, Tanya Tucker and LeAnn Rimes), many are called, but few are chosen. Swift, it appears, is one of the chosen ones. Her vocal talent is modest, though sweetly affecting, her style seemingly influenced by the radio hits of early Sheryl Crow and Michelle Branch, and perhaps Cyndi Thomson. And at times, her youthfulness shows--she encoded messages in the lyrics of her CD booklet, starting with the name of the boy who cheated on her from "Should've Said No" (the album's strongest offering). But in writing or co-writing all 11 songs on this debut, Swift demonstrates remarkable maturity, particularly in crafting a hooky, radio-ready chorus. Though she sounds ridiculous looking back from the perspective of an 87-year old woman on "Mary's Song," to her credit she mostly writes about what she knows--unrequited high-school crushes ("Teardrops on My Guitar"), teenage angst ("Tied Together with a Smile"), and complete immersion in starry-eyed romance (her breakout hit "Tim McGraw"). Swift has such wistful charm and tunefulness that only a curmudgeon could dismiss her, and in fact, more than 60,000 fans lined up to grab this CD the first month of release. No wonder Rascal Flatts and George Strait added her to their tours. Look out, Carrie Underwood--there's a new kid in town. --Alanna Nash

专辑介绍：
这是一个颇具超现实主义色彩的爱情故事，关于一个不相信真爱的女孩遇上一个疯狂爱上她的男孩：约瑟夫·高登-莱维特饰演的汤姆是以给贺卡撰写各种贺语为生，满脑子充满奇妙浪漫的他不意被自己的女友莎莫（佐伊·丹斯切尔 饰）飞掉。为了反思他和莎莫的问题所在，汤姆于是开始回忆自己和这个女孩过去在一起的500个日子……
Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl Doesn't. The film tells the story of the relationship between a woman, Summer (Zooey Deschanel), who doesn't believe in true love and a man, Tom (Gordon-Levitt), described as a hopeless romantic, who falls in love with her. Over a span of 500 days, the story moves in a non-linear fashion from the perspective of Tom, who goes from ecstatic giddiness one moment, indulging in a fantasy song and dance sequence at one point, to crippling depression the next. The soundtrack features two songs ('Us' and 'Hero') by Regina Spektor, and 'Sweet Disposition' by Melbourne-based band The Temper Trap. Artists include Black Lips, classic tracks from The Smiths, Doves, Feist, Meaghan Smith and many more.

这张专辑的封面,和众多歌手追求精美,漂亮的封面不同.Zac却带着一身泥,来到世人面前.
有着一些邋遢,有着一些亲切.似乎就是身边的哪个彪形大汉,又好像是乡间劳作的平民布衣.

一位是M.Ward，2006年发行的Post-War受到了很多人的关注和媒体的好评，2009年又发行了Hold Time。又一位是Zooey Deschanel，演员兼歌手，曾经担任过Yes Man和(500) Days of Summer两部电影的女主角，他们两个人走到一起就是独立民谣乐队She & Him，非常简单的名字，毫不做作！2008年的三月，他们发行了Volume One，两年后现在，3月23日，Merge又将发行他们的第二张专辑Volume Two，同时也将展开多城的巡演以及参加Coachella音乐节。专辑中In The Sun这支单曲有着很明显的She & Him风格，可爱又有些搞怪的Zooey和成熟稳重的M.Ward的结合如果遇上了夏天，他们就是我们的避暑地。而在这冬日未却的季节里，他们又给了我们温暖的希望。 <转>
She & Him，第二张专辑《Volume Two》来了， 专辑名字和第一张专辑《Volume One》想照应。像这样的一男一女的组合，最近很是吃香，先是澳洲的那俩位兄妹Angus & Julia Stone，现在又是来自美国的Zooey Deschanel和M. Ward ，因为首张专辑《Volume One》 的好评不错。这第二张专辑自然也就是众人期待的对象，新专辑加上隐藏曲目一共14首新歌。其中有一些歌曲是翻唱NRBQ的，如1977年的经典单曲“Ridin' in My Car" ，相当特别的风味。新专辑延续上张专辑的阳光式，浪漫的民谣风格，这张新专辑的歌曲棒极了

Truth has found plenty of room to breathe in each of Jack's albums (and in all of his work, from surfing films to his non-profit, the Kokua Hawaii Foundation), and here with his brothers in music - Adam Topol (drums), Merlo Podlewski (bass), and Zach Gill (piano and melodica) - he's on a journey to the centre of himself, and to all of us. Jack's 5th studio album - the aptly titled 'TO THE SEA' was produced by Robert Carranza & Jack Johnson, and features guest appearances from G. Love and Paula Fuga. The album was recorded at the Mango Tree Studio in Hawaii, and the Solar Powered Plastic Plant in LA using 100% Solar Power, and all album packaging utilizes FSC certified recycled papers.

Owl City(即Adam Young)将会以早期使用过的乐队名Sky Sailing，于本月13日发行一张新专辑"An Airplane Carried Me to Bed "，现iTunes上已经可以预订了。在前不久刚建立的Sky Sailing的Myspace里，也提供了这首"Brielle"和专辑中的另一首"I Live Alone"的试听。
凭借Owl City，Adam Young从一个埋首地下室玩音乐的羞涩男孩一跃成为排行榜畅销冠军。他柔和的嗓音与动人的旋律打动了无数乐迷的心。在首张专辑[Ocean Eyes]发行不到一年时间，Adam即将于7月13日以Sky Sailing乐队的名义全球发表这个全新乐队的处女作[An Airplane Carried Me To Bed]。就在这个消息发布后的6小时内，这张专辑已经在iTunes流行专辑榜上攀升至第四位，在总榜上也争得18位的席次，而这仅仅只是刚开始。
事实上Sky Sailing的成立要早于Owl City。有别于Owl City的音乐形式，Sky Sailing更偏重于原音吉他与钢琴的融合。可以这么理解，Sky Sailing是Owl City的不插电版本。新专辑[An Airplane Carried Me To Bed]中的歌曲实际上是在07年夏天，也就是在Owl City还没走红之前就已录制完成了。如今Owl City大受欢迎，Adam也觉得是时候将这些早期作品发表，并“重新润色”，让他的忠实歌迷们感受一个有别于Owl City的Adam Young。
专辑中的歌曲充分体现了Adam常被隐藏在电子音符之下的惊人歌词创作功力，特别是已经在Myspace上发布的两首新歌”I Live Alone”和” Brielle”，美好的歌词与旋律一样动人。“这张专辑是对过往的一次回顾，是一个来自明尼苏达小镇的男孩对于梦想对于希望的纪录片。我很高兴在这里能与你们分享。”Adam这样说到。

Singer/songwriter Colbie Caillat is one of the most celebrated artists to emerge from the growing talent pool of digitally-savvy self-launched artists, whose rise to prominence as the #1 unsigned artist on the popular myspace site has been largely due to her refreshing sense of understatement.



With no marketing push and only the power of the music behind her, Caillat became a sensation on the social networking site. Rolling Stone highlighted her as one of the top female artists on myspace. Ultimately, her number of friends swelled to more than 100,000. Her profile has been visited over 3 million times, and she has more than l0 million plays. She's currently averaging 50,000 + a day.



The songs on Caillat's debut album COCO mirror the Malibu-born Caillat's low-key, refreshing style. Armed with her acoustic guitar and her dusky vocals, she evokes the same gentle, yet spirited style of her musical influences John Mayer, Bob Marley, Lauryn Hill and The Weepies. The laid-back tempo of Hawaii, where she spent twice annual family vacations, is echoed in the music.

"She's the real thing," stated Monte Lipman, President of Universal Republic Records. "From her unique songwriting skills to her powerful but understated presence, Colbie has connected to millions of music lovers simply through the power of her music.

Relive your favorite Glee moments with original cast recordings. 17 tracks including "Don't Stop Believin", "Somebody to Love" and "Take a Bow."

Jason Mraz will release Life Is Good, a live digital EP available October 5, which he recorded earlier this month on Mraz's current North American tour.
The digital EP will feature live versions of four new songs, as well as a live version of "Coyotes" from Mraz's last studio album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. Mraz and his band recorded the EP on the first three dates of his current tour--in Bangor, Maine; Utica, NY; and at the Life Is Good Festival in Canton, MA. Mraz's tour, which is still winding its way across the continent, wraps up in Santa Barbara, CA on October 8.
Life Is Good will be available at all online retailers beginning October 5. Mraz will premiere the songs on his website,
, starting with "Freedom Song" today. More songs will be posted over the next week, along with candid videos shot by tour videographer Jeff Coffman on the road that capture Mraz explaining the origins and meanings of the new songs.
Mraz first heard "Freedom Song," after songwriter Luc Reynaud donated the song to a compilation album benefiting the homeless in his hometown of Seattle. Mraz, who was touched by the lyrics to the song, shared the song with a group of freed child slaves in Ghana this summer when he visited the country with the organization Free The Slaves. This tour marks the first time Mraz has performed "Freedom Song" with his band. Additionally, the collection's other new songs, "San Disco Reggaefornia," "Up" and "What Mama Say," all results of Mraz's recent songwriting sessions, also made their live debut on this run of dates.
After he wraps these tour dates, the easy, breezy Mraz will head back to the studio to work on his next album, due out in 2011.

4座葛莱美得主、2008与2009全美年度专辑销售最高歌手－「国民小公主」泰勒丝(Taylor Swift)，将于10月25日发行她的第三张大碟【Speak Now】，新歌”我的最爱Mine(暂译)”原订美国在8月16日于电台首播并同步数位发行，却于8月3日就在网络上提前外流，唱片公司临时决定提前12天在8月4日发行，虽然宣传计划因此被打乱，但在美国拥有庞大歌迷的泰勒丝，新歌只发行四天就创下29万7千次付费下载，空降告示牌数位榜冠军与单曲榜第3名，也让泰勒丝成为在一年之内拥有两首空降单曲榜前五名的女歌手，追平玛丽亚凯莉在1995年创下的纪录。这首新歌将于今天(8/16)下午2点在飞碟电台首播，台湾数字音乐平台也会在今天(8/16)同步上架。
专辑销售超过1300万张，四座葛莱美奖肯定的泰勒丝，原定在8月16日才要首播发行的新歌”我的最爱”，由于受到歌迷的高度期待，在8月3日就意外在网络上外流，低音质的MP3档案传遍全球各大部落格与YouTube。为了不让低音质的版本被歌迷误会以为就是专辑版本，一向对音乐作品自我要求极高的泰勒丝在与唱片公司紧急讨论过后，决定让新歌提前12天发行。这首新歌”我的最爱”在iTune发行当天只花了五个小时就打败了阿姆与蕾哈娜合唱的”Love the way you lie”登上当日销售冠军，刷新今年年初泰勒丝自己以单曲”宛如童话Today was a fairytale ”所写下的16个小时最快称霸当日销售冠军纪录。泰勒丝在今年年初以”宛如童话”空降单曲榜亚军，现在又以”我的最爱”空降本周告示牌单曲榜第3名，成为继玛丽亚凯莉之后，第二位在一年之内拥有两首空降单曲榜前五名的女歌手。
出道至今获奖无数的泰勒丝最近再添一座奖，不过好笑的是这次跟音乐可没有关系，而是在保龄球馆约会被偷拍，意外入选进入美国保龄球名人堂。今年泰勒丝被狗仔拍到与当红影集「Glee」中的帅学生柯瑞蒙特斯(Cory Monteith)想约打保龄球，并在保龄球馆抱抱的照片，这张照片在网络上到处流传，也让大家知道原来小天后也爱打保龄球。在美国保龄球协会举办的保龄球名人票选活动中，获得超过130万张投票，赢过小贾斯汀、赛琳娜戈梅兹等人，泰勒丝的名字将进入美国保龄球名人堂。不过泰勒丝与柯瑞都宣称「两人只是朋友」，这段绯闻并没有继续发展下去，只让泰勒丝获得因狗仔照片所拿的乌龙奖项，并继续感情空窗下去。
歌迷一直以来就是支持泰勒丝最大的力量，泰勒丝在日前就透过网络视讯，在官网、Face Book、Twitter等社群网络平台，领先媒体与歌迷分享新专辑最新讯息，新专辑【Speak Now】一共有14首 歌，全都由泰勒丝一手包办词曲创作，泰勒丝说：「在对的时间说出对的话是多么的重要，以致于我们常常会迟疑，因为我们会担心在不对的时候，说出不对的话， 但最近我更担心在什么话都还未说出口时，时间就这样溜走了。」令人好奇泰勒丝所指的是否就是这场无疾而终的保龄球恋情。

Katy Perry最新专辑《Teenage Dream》同名二单
You think I'm pretty
Without any make-up on
You think I'm funny
When I tell the puch line wrong
I know you get me
So I'll let my walls come down, down
Before you met me
I was a wreck
But things were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February
You'll be my valentine, valentine
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever
You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
We drove to Cali
And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and
Built a floor out of sheets
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever
You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
I might get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
I might get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight ..
