Beyonce and Lady Gaga Team Up Again?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Collaborations, Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop, R&B / Soul,
Beyonce and Lady Gaga have hinted at a new collaboration.
The pair - who appeared together on 2009 hit "Telephone" and extended version "Video Phone" - have fueled rumors they have returned to the studio by posting pictures of them wearing similar earrings. In November, Gaga posted a photograph on Instagram of a pair of earrings engraved with the word "Ratchet," while in December, Beyonce posted two photos of similar pieces of jewelry. On December 29, Beyonce posted a photo of the bamboo earrings alongside a pair of purple printed flat shoes, and followed it up the next day with another image of herself wearing the earrings.
It is thought they refer to a track called "Ratchet," which is also set to include rapper Azealia Banks, and may be released later this month as the lead single from Gaga's new album, ARTPOP.

Dave Grohl will debut a new supergroup later this month. The band will be called the Sound City Players and are scheduled to make their debut performance at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. Dave will be at the festival to premiere his new film, a documentary about the Sound City recording studios in California.
As a clue to who may appear with Dave, he recently released a preview of the soundtrack to the film - titled "Sound City" - which sees him collaborate with a number of stars on tracks including Trent Reznor, Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme, Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks, members of Rage Against the Machine and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and other members of his band Foo Fighters.
The soundtrack also features the track "Cut Me Some Slack," which features ex-Beatles singer Paul McCartney and was premiered by Paul with ex-Nirvana members Dave, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear at the 12.12.12 benefit concert in New York last month.

"I think her fans will be surprised by it. I would say it's definitely the 'unexpected' Britney in so many ways, in that she's playing with new textures and stomping on new grounds and genres," Elijah said. "I've definitely had the pleasure of starting on something I think is going to be big with her," he also wrote on Twitter.
No further information about the record has been released, but Britney, 31, was previously spotted in a recording studio with Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. Blackout producer Danja has also previously confirmed he would work with her again.

Meg White Uninterested in The White Stripes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Rock,
Jack White says Meg White was "uninterested" throughout The White Stripes career.
The "Hotel Yorba" duo found fame in 2001 - a year after divorcing as a couple - becoming one of the biggest rock bands of the last decade, before splitting in 2011, but Jack claims drummer Meg never showed the same level of enthusiasm as himself about the band.
"In The White Stripes it was impossible to share the good moments with Meg because she was very uninterested. If something nice happened, it wasn't like we would hug or have a drink. That wasn't what went on. We would record a White Stripes song in the studio and it would be me, Meg and an engineer. So we would finish a mix of a song and I'd say, 'Wow! That's pretty good!' I'd look around and Meg would just be sitting there, and the engineer would just be sitting there. So it'd be sorta like, 'OK... Let's just move on to the next one.' It was just me by myself. But it was the best thing for me. It taught me a lot about trusting my gut."

Michael Buble to Duet with Reese Witherspoon
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Upcoming Releases, Pop,
Michael Buble is set to duet with Reese Witherspoon. The "Haven't Met You Yet" singer confirmed he will collaborate with the actress - who won an Oscar for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in musical film Walk the Line - for his new studio album.
Michael, 37, revealed he is a fan of the Legally Blonde star and put out feelers to Reese, 36, about recording together for his next record. Asked about the duet, he told ITV1's Daybreak, "By all accounts it would be true. I just really am a big fan, and so myself and my camp, we wanted to do this with her, and we were thrilled that she was excited about it too."
Reese has previously admitted she found the experience of working on Walk the Line - in which she starred opposite Joaquin Phoenix - horrifying, calling it the toughest movie she had ever made: "I had to do four months of rehearsals. I had to learn to play autoharp. I had to take singing lessons. I had to record an album, which was the most challenging, horrifying experience of my life. Me singing in front of people while they're listening to me is just horrifying."

Bjork Picky About Who Covers Her Songs
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Alternative, Covers, Electronic, Pop,
Bjork will only let certain people cover her songs.
The "Mutual Core" singer chooses artists she thinks will do a fresh take on her tracks to record their own versions.
"I'm in a protected situation. I've already done my version the way I want it to be. I ask people I already like, it's not like I'm asking just anybody. I sometimes compare it to jazz standards. You hear two different versions of 'My Funny Valentine' by Billie Holiday and Miles Davis and neither of them are correct. I like the remix platform. There are invisible rules but a lot of freedom."
