Born This Way is the second studio album and third major release by American recording artist Lady Gaga. It was released on May 23, 2011 by Interscope Records as a follow up to her internationally successful, The Fame (2008) and the extended play The Fame Monster (2009). Born This Way is notably different from The Fame and The Fame Monster as it incorporates a broader range of elements of several musical genres such as opera, heavy metal, disco, and rock and roll, and fuses those elements with sounds of electropop and dance. The album also is heavily inspired by synthpop and electronic music from the 1980s and 90s. In the album, the central themes include those of religion, sexuality, and feminism. On the record, Gaga worked with several producers, including RedOne, the only hold over for her previous work. With Born This Way, Gaga took more control of her musical direction and the album composition.
Production first took place in early 2010, with recording sessions for the album took place at various recording studios around the world. The title was revealed in September at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards after Gaga's win of the Video of the Year Award for "Bad Romance". Just a week before the album's scheduled release, the contents were leaked online, but were shortly removed due to copyright violations.
Three singles and one promotional single were released for the album. "Born This Way", the lead single, topped the charts in over eighteen countries including the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. It would become the fastest selling single in iTunes history, having sold over 1 million copies within its first five days. "Judas" was the second single for Born This Way. The song peaked on the top ten in nineteen countries. "The Edge of Glory", originally released as one of two proposed promotional singles, was shortly made as the third single of the album. The song debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, and topped the charts in Brazil and South Korea. The promotional single for the album, "Hair", peaked at number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100 and chart on the musical charts in sixteen different countries.
The album has been met with generally positive reception from contemporary critics, who complimented Gaga's vocals and the album's varying musical styles. However, the repetitive use of the word "Jesus", in addition to the employment of church bells and monk voices in many of the album's tracks including "Marry the Night," "Bloody Mary" and "Electric Chapel" have all resulted in negative reactions from some Christian societies, including those in Lebanon, where Born This Way was temporarily banned. Despite such strife, Born This Way topped the charts in twenty-three countries. It debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 1.11 million copies. Over 430,000 of these sales were at a special price of US$ 0.99, which Amazon.com offered for two days during the album's first week of release.

音符与文字酿造的生活诗
七年前无意为之的一首创作,开启了梁晓雪(男)的音乐创作历程。三年加拿大游学经历,边读书边打工赚钱的日子,抱着吉他弹弹唱唱成为他在异乡最大的乐趣。游学归国,梁晓雪过上了规规矩矩的生活,却无法改变写歌的习惯,几年下来积攒了过百首的音乐作品。偶然的音乐上传分享,却引来过万听众关注,等候梁晓雪更新新歌成了歌迷最快乐的期待,而歌迷的支持也成为梁晓雪继续创作的动力。
2010年的盛夏,在听众的呼唤声下,梁晓雪发行了首张个人创作专辑《Floral times/花样年华》。《Floral Times/花样年华》围绕“时间”线索,从梁晓雪一路积累的音乐创作中,精挑细选最具代表性曲目收入专辑。10首英文原创歌曲+1首纯乐器演奏乐曲,记录了梁晓雪7年音乐路上最珍贵的“Floral times/花样年华”。
小餐馆里的Jack Johnson
在音乐的世界里,他是音乐人梁晓雪。在现实生活里,他是小餐馆老板梁晓雪。经营小餐馆的梁晓雪,店面不大却常常呼朋引伴,只要抱着吉他,他的音乐才华就会通过琴弦源源不绝的倾泻出来。乐观积极的生活态度让这个热爱音乐创作的小餐馆老板有着诗人般的气质,“小餐馆中的Jack Johnson”的头衔因此得名。他对音乐的喜爱是源自心底最简单和真诚的渴望,或许正是这种真实的生活化作的音符,才造就了梁晓雪音乐的质朴诚恳、清新舒适。
最宅的全能音乐人
在创作上,由于在游学时受到西方民谣的影响,让梁晓雪在音乐创作上吸收了美式民谣与乡村音乐的自由随性,又加入了中式校园民谣的清新上口,这让他的音乐在华语乐坛显得格外别致,成为新民谣音乐的代表人物。
梁晓雪一直认为,最自然的呈现才是音乐最动人的地方。为了保留这些生活化的细节和质感,梁晓雪将录音室搬到了自己的家中,有灵感随时记录,词曲创作、录音制作一人包办,给予自己最自由的发挥空间。为完成第一张个人专辑,梁晓雪在家中重新完成录音工作后,邀请国内优秀母带处理师韩东制作母带,只为让整张专辑的聆听效果更为舒适、放松、自然。
歌迷疼爱的雪总
“雪总”是歌迷对梁晓雪的爱称。歌迷说,之所以这么爱梁晓雪的音乐,是因为听着他的歌,就像午夜醒来看见依旧开着的床头灯,朴实,却让人心头温暖。
这些彼此陌生的人们都是通过音乐与梁晓雪结识。起初,梁晓雪抱着分享感受的念头上传几首歌曲到豆瓣音乐人,立刻引起听众的关注,短短几个月,关注人数便破万,数字并不断攀升。
几场个人音乐专场下来,场场爆满,每场都有熟悉的面孔与新面孔出现。每次演出雪总都为听众带来不同的精彩,从两个人的插电演出,到四个人的乐队演出,或者每场演出都不同的重新编曲,与其他音乐的默契搭配,雪总总有能力给你一个来现场听歌的理由。
和氣音乐诚意出品
梁晓雪的首张个人创作专辑《Floral Times/花样年华》是和氣音乐推出的第一张唱片。视觉包装由青年摄影师王之与新晋设计师Zong共同完成。整张唱片采用了全纸质包装设计,16P内页+创作手札,诚意十足。和氣音乐以“平和自由”为经营理念,不限音乐风格的推荐优秀品质的原创音乐,为华语乐坛带来一股新风。
生活的真实感动迸发灵感,而片段的感动最终都被音符所记录。春夏秋冬,四季流转,尽管偶有波折,但生活的快乐却从未改变。倾听用音符与文字酿造的生活诗,感悟花样年华的的生活本质。对梁晓雪的歌声渐渐上瘾,对自己的生活渐渐迷恋,于是我们发现,原来“美好”触手可及。梁晓雪《Floral times/花样年华》,献给所有已发生的、正在经历的和未知的“花样年华”。

"I'm gonna miss the Rated R era too, but nothing compares to the album I just made," Rihanna said, adding, "I made sure not to let you down with my music. You guys are always defending me, so now you’ve got some great songs to justify it. I didn’t want to go backward and remake Good Girl Gone Bad.

In early September 2010, she announced that the album would be called, Loud saying that "get Loud everybody, get crazy, get excited, because I'm pumped. I'm just gonna be me, because that's what you guys love the most, and that's what makes me feel best. Just being normal, normal for me is Loud! Sassy, fun, flirty, energetic." While Rihanna was on set filming for the movie Battleship, she explained in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, "Loud is, the word, the name of the album definitely reflects the attitude of it, it’s really sassy and flirty and it grabs your attention and that’s why I enjoy it. It takes you through a really really interesting ride. So colorful the album.” The artwork of the album was revealed on September 28, 2010.

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."

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".
