"California Gurls" serves as the lead single of Katy Perry's upcoming sophomore studio album. The song features rapper Snoop Dogg, and was produced by Dr. Luke, Max Martin, and Benny Blanco. According to Perry, the song is a answer song to "Empire State of Mind".
During a Rolling Stone photo shoot in April 2010, Perry revealed details about the song, allegedly a response to Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind", she stated: "It’s so great that 'Empire State of Mind' is huge and that everyone has the New York song, but what the f**k? What about LA? What about California?. It's been a minute since we had a California song and especially from a girl's perspective. We took the references of Prince, which is always a great reference, and some of the '90s, almost house music references".
After the song was leaked online, Capitol Records decided to release it early, and it was posted on Perry's newly revamped site due to the song, and the radio release date was moved up from May 25, 2010 to May 7, 2010.[2] The artwork was also released, featuring Perry laying out on the beach sand with a bejeweled bikini.

Misery
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
So scared of breaking it
But you won't let it bend
And I wrote two hundred letters
I won't ever send
Somehow it is cut so much
Deeper then they seem
You'd rather cover up
I'd rather let them be
So let me be
And I'll set you free
[CHORUS]
I am in misery
There ain't no other
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back
Your salty skin and how
It mixes in with mine
The way it feels to be
Completely intertwined
It's not that I didn't care
It's that I didn't know
It's not what I didn't feel,
It's what I didn't show
So let me be
And I'll set you free
[CHORUS]
I am in misery
There ain't no other
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back
Say your faith is shaken
You may be mistaken
You keep me wide awake and
Waiting for the sun
I'm desperate and confused
So far away from you
I'm getting here
Don't care where I have to go
Why do you do what you do to me, yeah
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah
Why do you do what you do to me yeah
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah
[CHORUS]
I am in misery
There ain't no other
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back

Glee: The Music, Volume 3 Showstoppers features 20 brand new songs from the hit TV show.

With his rich tenor voice, distinctive looks, and endearingly innocent charm, Jason Castro won over millions of viewers as a contestant on the seventh season of American Idol, parlaying his substantial singer-songwriter appeal into a third-place runner-up finish. He may not have won the competition, but the 22-year-old Texan earned himself a devoted fan base eager to hear what he would do once freed to perform his own songs. Those folks will get their chance with the release of Castro's self-titled debut album on Atlantic Records.
Though rooted in the classic, melody-minded singer-songwriter tradition, with heart-on-sleeve lyrics and acoustic guitar-driven arrangements, the album brims with toe-tapping pop (first single 'Let's Just Fall In Love Again,' 'This Heart Of Mine'), strummy folk ('That's What I'm Here For,' the lilting 'If I Were You'), and electrifying rock ('Closer,' 'Heart of Stone') - all cleverly balanced with unabashedly emotional tunes like 'Love Uncompromised,' 'It Matters To Me,' 'You Can Always Come Home,' and a stunning version of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' (which Castro performed on Idol, citing Jeff Buckley's version as a huge inspiration to him as an artist).
To capture the moods he wanted, Castro collaborated with producer Eric Rosse (Sara Bareilles, Tori Amos) and a host of top-notch songwriters - including Marc Roberge of O.A.R., Gregg Wattenberg (Five For Fighting), Zac Maloy (David Cook), and Espionage (Train) - all of whom helped Castro create an earthy showcase for his considerable gifts as a vocalist, songwriter, and musician, not to mention the warmth and sincerity that shines through everything he does. 'I feel like the album really captures my personality,' Castro says. 'People got to know me a bit on the show, so I wanted to build on that by including all these songs I've written about my life. I wanted to share with people the things that are meaningful to me.'

Taken from the 2003 album 'Friday's Child'. The title track is backed with four non-LP tracks, 'Ticket To Love' (recorded live at the Exeter Festival 2003), 'Cry', 'Leave Right Now' (Acoustic Version, & Video). BMG. 2004.

Ke$ha首张专辑《Animal》正式发行！现今乐坛显然是电子乐大行其道的地方，Lady Gaga大红大紫，众多大牌歌手乐队都在专辑中大量使用电子元素，电子乐新星的势力也同样不可小窥——22岁的Ke$ha凭借与Flo Rida合作的冠军单曲《Right Round》被人们熟知后，她的首支单曲《TiK ToK》在澳大利亚登上了排行榜冠军。
Tik Tok的制作人之一是Dr. Luke (Lukasz Gottwald)，他正是Katy Perry ” I Kissed a Girl “的背后推手，也操刀过Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson等人的专辑，很辉煌，无法一一叙述就是了。另外，参与Tik Tok创作的除了Dr. Luke和Ke$ha本人，还有Benny Blanco，他相当年轻(1988年生)，比Ke$ha还小一岁，不过从跟着Dr. Luke开始，他已经参与过Katy Perry、Britney Spears、Flo Rida、Lady Sovereign等人的专辑制作。
Ke$ha本名Kesha Sebert ，出生于美国洛杉矶，后来大概在她4岁大时，一家人搬到田纳西州的Nashville，她在那里度过童年和青少年时光，17岁决定往音乐发展后，她自己一个人才又搬回到洛杉矶。 Ke$ha来自单亲家庭，妈妈Pebe Sebert在’70年代末也是创作歌手，小Kesha还是个婴儿时，妈妈在舞台上表演，她就被放在后台或吉他盒里，妈妈进录音室，她也被带着去，她长大后会当艺人，其实从小就有耳濡目染，母亲也常称赞她有很好的声音，鼓励她唱歌。 但是你一开始不会想到的是，因为母亲的关系，Kesha Sebert从小是在乡村长大的，她认为乡村歌曲对她的最大影响是强调歌曲的故事性，每首歌都有着故事，而Ke$ha喜欢透过音乐说她的故事。

“I Do”源于圣经中结婚时男女的誓言，代表了真爱与承诺：
此刻起
无论顺境还是逆境
贫困还是富有，疾病还是健康
你是否愿意爱她，安慰她
尊重她，保护她
始终如一，不离不弃
——YES，I Do
继去年情人节甜蜜合唱一曲《我们的小世界》后，日前，彭坦携手爱妻春晓推出第二首对唱单曲《I Do》。彭坦在歌词中植入了妻子的名字，颇有讨好之意。
《I Do》的歌词中写到“睡梦里，清晰的春天的拂晓，绿色的醉人的芬芳，充满了梦境也散发着诗情画意”。“春天的拂晓”说的是春晓，清晰、凉爽、诗情画意形容春晓的性格。
据太合麦田工作人员介绍，这首《I Do》和《我们的小世界》有着一脉相承的温情。“《我们的小世界》讲的是一种清甜无负担的爱之初体验心情，透着活泼跳跃的轻灵快乐，而《I Do》里却少了些无忧无虑的甜蜜，多了对爱人的宽容和对爱情更成熟的认识。”

这是一张有趣的不插电专辑，首次担当出品人以及制作人，得以亲历一张唱片从无到有所要付出的繁杂工作，也是乐在其中的体验。发表《少年故事》之后的两年间，生活在发生改变，也都在重新开始。想用音乐记录下来的心情使人渴望尝试某种新的创作，由此产生的压力投射在现实中也带来了不小的阻碍 。但当我寻求于一直以来感动我的声音，才发现那往往只是一种粗糙和原始的方式，包裹着最纯粹而直接的表达。在今年十月，这一切促使着我萌发了制作这张《EASY》的想法，如果我坚持，是否可以不要层层叠叠的立项和审核，不要适时的市场分析和预算评估，不用禁闭在以小时计费的recording studio里，不用逐字逐句的修饰和精致润色，只是还原出一首歌在心中最初的样子。专辑中收录了四首新歌和五首来自《少年故事》的曲目，以两把箱琴为主的极简方式录制完成。全部的制作周期不到一个月，其间正逢北京入冬的两场瑞雪，享受着录音的状态轻松而愉快。感谢我的爱人，还有制作人吴涛以及太合麦田唱片的许多朋友的帮助。在真正投入到下一张录音室专辑的制作以前，我需要积蓄更多的能量，对于一直支持我的乐迷，希望你们会喜欢这一份2009年岁末的礼物。
