Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Release Dates, Upcoming Releases, Pop, Rock, Soundtracks,
Sting is set to release his first new material in a decade later this year.
The "Fields of Gold" singer has recorded his first full-length album, The Last Ship, since his 2003 record Sacred Love after taking inspiration from songs he had penned for the same-titled Broadway musical, scheduled to open next year. The play is set in the 1980s in Wallsend, North East England, near where Sting - real name Gordon Sumner - grew up and the 61-year-old musician will use several songs from the show along with tracks he wrote which weren't included in the final line up.
Sting - who is currently touring North America with his Back to Bass tour - has been working hard on the LP for three years and has called upon the help of several collaborators, including James Bond writer John Logan and Brian Yorkey. The record, which will be his 11th studio album, will be released by a grouping of labels Cherrytree, Interscope and A & M Records.

Rihanna's new album is reportedly set for release in November.
The 24-year-old singer's record label Def Jam Recordings tweeted the news yesterday from their French account, but have since deleted their post which also hinted a new single is likely to drop as soon as next Monday. Def Jam France has replaced it with another message which reads, "New announcement this Thursday about Rihanna on our account."
Rihanna's last two albums have both had November release dates, so the news about her seventh studio album is in keeping with the singer's speedy work ethic.
The Bajan beauty has been back and forth to the UK this summer, most recently to perform at the London 2012 Paralympics Closing Cermony where she joined Coldplay on stage for a sizzling performance of "Princess of China."

The "F***in' Perfect" singer is planning a spectacular stage show in support of her forthcoming album, The Truth About Love, but knows she will have to do something pretty drastic if she's going to upstage 2010s Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour.
"Yeah man I've gotta step it up, I'm competing with myself. I was thinking about lighting myself on fire, I've actually been doing some research and I've been going to a lot of Las Vegas shows, I'm going to bring it this time," she said in an interview recently.
Pink has also recently explained how her sixth album will explore the concept of love from all of its different perspectives: "I'm excited. I think the songs are elevated and smart and fun. The motivation for this album is love and all of the different shades of it - dark, light, happy, sad, what love can motivate you to do, just all of it. Just exploring how much it can hurt and how much it can feel good. It's not cheesy."
The Truth About Love will be released on September 18, preceded by a single, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)."

50 Cent Sets Release Date For Fifth Album
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Release Dates, Upcoming Releases, Hip-Hop & Rap,
The "Candy Shop" star will release the long delayed Five (Murder By Numbers) on July 3.
The rapper said part of the reason for the long delay - almost three years since his last album Before I Self Destruct - is because he has taken time to perfect each track: "I said I was gonna put a record out that was completely up to album standard, and I'm gonna do that. I worked on this album for a long time. It's been three years."
50 - real name Curtis Jackson - added his turbulent relationship with Interscope records has been part of delays to the record, which was originally to be titled Black Magic. 50 threatened to leak the entire album in full in January, and shortly afterward one song "Girls Go Wild," appeared on the internet, but 50 has since made up with his record company.
