Before performing the new piano ballad ‘Princess Die’ in Perth, Lady Gaga prefaced the song by saying that her new album will lack the maturity and sense of responsibility that defined ‘Born This Way.’ She also seemed to reveal that ‘Princess Die‘ will indeed appear on the new album, whereas it was TBD when she first debuted the song.
O Canada! Avril Lavigne is hard at work on her next album, and she’s working with fellow Canadian, Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger, on some tracks.
Glambert fans, rejoice! Adam Lambert has just announced details of his upcoming second studio album, ‘Trespassing,’ due out in spring 2012.
Nothing says ‘happy holidays’ like a freshly wrapped collection of Lady Gaga tunes. Even though she just released her latest album, ‘Born This Way,’ back in May, she’s working overtime to make sure she has new music for her fans in time for the holiday season.
In fact, come November, Lady Gaga fans will have two new releases available to buy: a live DVD, ‘Lady Gaga Presents The Monster Ball Tour at Madison Square Garden,’ as well as ‘Born This Way the Remix,’ a CD that collects 14 new versions of tracks from ‘Born This Way.’
As the trial of Conrad Murray — the doctor accused of administering a drug that killed singer Michael Jackson — wears on and heartbreaking details emerge, MJ fans may find the news of an upcoming album to be a welcome bright spot in the darkness.
Christina Aguilera may have one of the biggest voices in pop music, but even she feels there’s always room for improvement. The pop diva has reportedly hired celebrated vocal coach Seth Riggs to help prep her for a post-Bionic album.
In today’s pop marketplace, it’s commonly accepted for an artist to take three years or longer to finish a new album, which is almost exactly how long it took Lady Gaga to get from her first full-length collection, ‘The Fame,’ to its recently released follow-up, ‘Born This Way.’
But Gaga didn’t get where she is by following what everyone else is doing, and based on comments she made during a recent call-in to Ryan Seacrest’s radio show, it sounds like she’ll be back with another album sooner than anyone expected.
It’s been an awfully long wait between new albums for fans of No Doubt, who’ve had to make do with their old CDs and a 2009 tour to tide them over since the band last surfaced with ‘Rock Steady’ in 2001.
And that wait is about to get a little longer. The band has just dashed hopes that its next release would be in stores before the end of the year, admitting that “it’s just not ready yet.”
He’s definitely best known for his acting résumé, but William Shatner isn’t just the guy who played James T. Kirk, T.J. Hooker, and Denny Crane; he’s actually enjoyed a long, albeit sporadic and rather irony-drenched, recording career, releasing four albums (including a double live release) over the last 25 years.
As luck would have it, Shatner’s been back in the recording studio lately, and he’s ready to return with his latest audio offering.
By leader Chris Martin’s estimation, there are about four different track listings being considered for Coldplay’s fifth studio album.
But this much is certain: The album’s title is ‘Mylo Xyloto’ — pronounced MY-lo ZY-letoe — and the release date is Oct. 25.
