Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Release Dates, Upcoming Releases, Covers,
Clay Aiken’s fifth studio album, Tried and True, will be available for purchase on June 1. Now, the big question: are you going to buy it?

“Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” “Misty” and “Suspicious Minds” are included on the album. “Tried and True” also features Aiken singing “Mack the Knife,” and “Unchained Melody,” tunes he crooned on American Idol’s second season on his way to the runner-up position.

M.I.A. Taking a Total Departure
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Dance, Electronic,
M.I.A.‘s new album will be “a total departure” from her established sound.
Producer Diplo, who collaborated with M.I.A. (real name Maya Arulpragasam) on her breakthrough single “Paper Planes,” promises he has drawn from a well of diverse musical influences to create tracks for the Sri Lankan born singer’s third album. “On the new record I’ve just done for her - which might be the single - I sampled a bunch of gospel-y, old-school, Alabama, weird, Sacred Harp singers,” he said.
“It’s turning into an Animal Collective kind of record, which represents a total departure from what you would expect from her, but that’s where her head was at. She just had a baby so she was on this elated mood. With her it’s always sort of random, whatever you think was not going to be productive - that recording ended up being a really s****y demo and then it turned into a big song.”

Christina Aguilera is Not Herself in Her New Song
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Release Dates, Upcoming Releases, Dance, Electronic, Pop,
In her new track “Not Myself Tonight,” Christina Aguilera claims “I’m out of character/ I’m in rare form/ And if you really knew me/ you’d know its not the norm.”
Although no one would ever accuse the “Candyman” singer of ever being predictable, Aguilera aimed for a new sound while creating her upcoming album. “I was able to explore and create a fresh, sexy feel using both electronic and organic elements with subject matter ranging from playful to introspective. I am so excited for my fans to hear the new sound. It is something I don’t think anyone will expect,” she told MTV.
If you like what you hear here, you can buy the song when it officially drops on April 13. Otherwise, you can wait to purchase the entire album - Bionic - on June 8.
