“10 Years Of Westlife – Live At Croke Park Stadium” DVD Released November 24th 2008
After a staggering 10 years at the top of the UK charts, pop royalty Westlife release an amazing live DVD of their massive Croke Park stadium concert, through Syco/Sony BMG on November 24th.
On the 1st June 2008 Westlife returned to their home country of Ireland to play the biggest concert of their career to date. Fresh from the success of their massive ‘Back Home’ world tour, the band played to a sell-out, 82,500 strong crowd at Croke Park Stadium, Dublin in honour of Westlife’s 10th anniversary. A truly unforgettable occasion for Kian, Mark, Nicky and Shane.
This beautifully shot DVD perfectly captures the emotion, intensity, spirit and magical moments of the concert and is a must have for any fans that want a true reminder of this very special day.
The DVD also features an amazing 30 minute behind the scenes documentary, ‘The Road Home’, allowing up close and personal access to the world’s biggest boy band. Fans will get to see Westlife in the lead-up to the concert, preparing, planning and rehearsing for the greatest show of their lives. Also featured are the Top 10 Westlife videos as voted for by the fans on westlife.com.
No pop band can compare to Westlife’s remarkable success. In their ten years on top they have sold over 40 million records globally. In the UK alone they have scored nine multi-platinum albums and a record breaking 14 No.1 hits (behind only Elvis and The Beatles). Westlife have also picked up innumerable awards and appeared on hundreds of magazine covers around the world. They are the only recording artists to win the prestigious ‘Record Of The Year’ an incredible four times (other top awards include two BRITS and an MTV Europe Award).
Westlife are also the biggest selling UK Arena act ever, holding the record for the most concerts held at Wembley Arena, an incredible 27. In celebration of this, March of this year saw the band immortalised in Wembley’s Square of Fame with a plaque of their handprints, joining such legends as Madonna, George Michael, Kylie and Dolly Parton.

Michael Bublé
发布日期 2010年9月7日 出版发行: Reprise Records
Canadian jazz and pop singer Michael Bublé continues to churn out hits, his next 'Hollywood,' the first single off his re-release of the 2009 chart-topping album, 'Crazy Love.'
Fusing doo-wop backup singers with electric guitar trills, the song has Bublé crooning about a muse tempted to sell herself to Hollywood, advising: "So don't go higher for desire / Put it in your head, Hollywood is dead / You can find it in yourself."
Co-penned by songwriter-pianist Robert G. Scott and Bublé, the song's paired music video is expected to be released later this month, with Bublé acting out a handful of different celebrities. The re-release, out Oct. 25, is titled 'Crazy Love Hollywood Edition.'
'Hollywood' follows his No. 1 single 'Haven't Met You Yet.' Bublé is currently on the overseas leg of his tour, promoting 'Crazy Love' -- which spawned three Juno awards: Album of the Year, Pop Album of the Year, and Single of the Year for 'Haven't Met You Yet.'

发布日期 2010年6月22日 出版发行: Aftermath Entertainment|Interscope Records|Shady Records
On Recovery, his seventh major label studio album, Eminem has reached out to an
exciting list of first-time collaborators, including DJ Khalil, Just Blaze, Jim
Jonsin and Boi-1da, among others
EMINEM releases Recovery just over a year after his last album, 2009's Relapse
Relapse put the cap on an impressive ten years of recorded output, and
contributed to Eminem being the biggest selling artist of 2000-2009. In
recognition of this, Neilsen SoundScan named him their Artist of the Decade
Relapse entered the charts at #1 and, at nearly double platinum, was the best
selling rap album of last year. It also earned Eminem his 11th Grammy award
winning in the Best Rap Album category. Relapse's first single, "Crack A Bottle"
from Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, soared to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100
(Eminem's second #1 after 2002's "Lose Yourself") and set a SoundScan record at
the time of its release for opening week download sales (418,000). The album
also spun off two other hits; the Top 10 "We Made You" and Top 20 "Beautiful."
"I had originally planned for Relapse 2 to come out last year," remarked EMINEM
"But as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to
Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a
completely new album. The music on Recovery came out very different from
Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title."

发布日期 2010年10月5日 出版发行: self-released
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.

发布日期 2009年11月23日 出版发行: Def Jam
Rated R is the fourth studio album by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna, first released November 20, 2009, on Def Jam Recordings. The album is a musical distance from her previous effort Good Girl Gone Bad (2007), which contained up-tempo and ballad-oriented songs, and it heavily incorporated pop and dance-pop musical styles. Conceived after Rihanna's assault by her then-boyfriend, singer Chris Brown, Rated R features different foreboding and angry tone, in terms of musical and lyrical direction, and incorporates elements of hip hop, rock, and dubstep. The album also incorporated other musical genres, such as Dancehall in the Jamaican inspired "Rude Boy" and Latin in "Te Amo".
Recording sessions for the album took place during March to November 2009 at several recording studios throughout United States and Europe. Rihanna together with L.A. Reid, Jay-Z and Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers, executively produced the album and worked with several record producers, including Chase & Status, StarGate, The-Dream, Ne-Yo, and Brian Kennedy. The album also included several featured vocalists and instrumentalist, including Young Jeezy, Will.i.am and Slash who played the guitars in "Rockstar 101".
Upon its release Rated R received positive reviews from music critics, who praised Rihanna's mature performance, and described the album as her most layered and heartfelt effort. The album debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 181,000 copies in its first week in the United States. The album reached number-one in Norway, Switzerland and on the US Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Albums. On the UK Albums Chart, the album reached a peak of nine, and was certified gold in only four days.
The album produced five singles, including the international hits "Russian Roulette", "Rude Boy" and "Te Amo", together with the US releases "Hard". "Wait Your Turn" was also released as the albums promotional single. "Russian Roulette" was released as albums lead single and managed to reach top-ten in seventeen countries and topped the charts in Norway and Switzerland. "Hard reached number nine in the United States and became her thirteenth top-ten single re-tying her with Beyoncé Knowles as the female artist with the most top-ten hit singles in the United States. "Rude Boy" was a commercial success and became the only single from the album that topped the US Billboard Hot 100 for five consecutive weeks. "Rockstar 101" was released in the United States and managed to reach number two on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs.

发布日期 2005年1月1日 出版发行: Warner Bros / Wea
Michael Buble's assured debut and the tireless year of globe-trotting touring he spent promoting it elevated the 20-something Vancouver native into the first rank of pop crooner revivalists. His sophomore studio follow-up largely turns on the same formula that helped make his considerable vocal prowess so attractive to mainstream audiences, mixing the nigh flawless, if expected Sinatra-channelling ("I've Got You Under My Skin") with more playful and inviting renditions of pop standards like the Gershwin's "A Foggy Day in London Town," "Feeling Good," "Try A Little Tenderness" and Cole Porter's "I've Got You Under My Skin." But it's the eclectic mix of more contemporary material the singer seasons them with--apt tribute to Buble hero Bobby Darin--that keeps him walking the narrow tightrope between artistic intrigue (a blues-tinged vamp of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "How Sweet It Is," Leon Russell's lovely "Song For You," with a guest turn by Chris Botti) and the kitsch-laden abyss ("Quando, Quando, Quando"'s Euro-centric duet with Nelly Furtado, a ring-a-ding-fling with the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love" that echoes fellow Canadian crooner/rival Matt Dusk's more successful flirtation with Lennon-McCartney). Arranger/producer Tommy LiPuma offers Buble a welcome swinging jazz showcase on "The More I See of You," a bracing respite from the rest of producer David Foster's slick, if typically bloodless MOR production. --Jerry McCulley
﹡如丝绒般柔滑的男中音,独具品味地轻触你心--时人杂志﹡这个令人注目、充满感情的低音歌手使人想起年轻的法兰克辛纳屈--纽约邮报﹡天生的中低音与动感的舞台表演,麦可布雷以轻松自在的自信,与他的听众分享他活泼的诠释风味--洛杉矶时报
重新演唱汤姆琼斯、猫王、麦当娜、法兰克辛纳屈、比吉斯、洛史都华等13位不朽巨星经典名曲,他,让这些经典歌曲活了起来,大卫佛斯特麦克布雷,葛莱美奖情歌教父大卫佛斯特为都会男女寻觅已久的新浪漫主义歌手。
跨界风潮走到21世纪,不该只是狭隘的将摇滚、抒情、灵魂、爵士、大乐团、古典声乐等类型音乐作一融合的时尚,而是要以能与生活情境完美契合的听觉为依归,继心灵捕手Josh Groban (乔许)后,葛莱美奖名制作人David Foster (大卫佛斯特)致力于听觉品味的开发有了更上层楼的惊喜发现,一副既能表露歌声情感,又能摆荡歌声情趣的嗓子--Michael Buble(发音为Boo-blay),这位现年25岁的年轻绅士,来自加拿大温哥华,只要他那天生歌唱家般的嗓子一开,就能创造出一个绝佳的听歌空间,与听者尽情的享受歌声所带来的愉悦感。
自对音乐产生兴趣以来,Buble就情不自禁的迷上Ella Fitzgerald、Sarah Vaughan、Rosemary Clooney这些相当真切的浪漫歌声,当水电工的爷爷为了磨Buble的歌艺,经常以修理水电为交换条件,让Buble能够与镇上的音乐家同台演唱,17岁时,Buble在加拿大的新秀选拔赛中夺冠,除了赢得灌录唱片的机会,并参予‘Red Rock Diner’、‘Swing’等音乐剧的演出,Buble的歌声吸引本身也是老歌迷的加拿大前首相Brian Mulroney的注意,Mulroney将他推荐给华纳音乐集团/143音乐厂牌的高层主管大卫佛斯特,在Mulroney女儿婚礼上高歌一曲"Mack The Knife"后,佛斯特正式将Michael Buble签入旗下。
2001年春季,佛斯特与制作老搭档Humberto Gatica(两人合作过乔许、席琳狄翁、芭芭拉史翠珊的专辑)展开首张同名专辑【Michael Buble】的录制工作,在以重现经典歌曲风华的目标下,完成了一张以听觉拭去类型音乐界线的歌唱作品,从"The Way You Look Tonight"、"For Once In My Life"、"That's All"这些30、40年代的流行名曲宝鉴,到男歌手Paul Anka 59年亚军招牌作"Put Your Head On My Shoulder"、爱尔兰民谣传奇歌手Van Morrison(范莫里森) 70年香醇小品"Moondance"、华丽摇滚名团Queen(皇后合唱团)80年冠军摇滚劲歌"Crazy Little Thing Called Love"、流行巨星George Michael(乔治麦可)88年全美TOP 5摩登爵士恋歌"Kissing A Fool",这些半世纪以来的流行歌曲在Buble美妙演唱下,完全抹去岁月的尘埃,赋予相当迷人的当代风雅。
值得一提的是The Bee Gees(比吉斯合唱团)老大Barry Gibb特地在71年TOP 4伤心情歌"How Can You Mend A Broken Heart"里合声助阵。专辑推出后随即抢占Billboard热门潜力榜亚军,其中,"For Once In My Life"、"Kissing A Fool"更被选为伊旺麦奎格与芮妮齐薇格主演的爱情喜剧片‘爱情趴趴走’的插曲。
听过Michael Buble的柔情歌声,你是否感觉到一个新的浪漫主义歌手已经诞生了呢?
