Space Cowboy - Falling Down (feat. Chelsea Korka of The Paradiso Girls)

Space Cowboy - Falling Down When I first heard this track on The Prophet, I knew I had to have it on my iPod. Produced by RedOne (Lady Gaga, Tami Chynn, New Kids On The Block, Sugababes), this new track from French producer/electro artiste Space Cowboy features vocals from Chelsea Korka, most recently of The Paradiso Girls (formerly of CW Reality Show "The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search For The Next Doll").

This track is hot! While lyrically pretty simple, there's something about the beat that's just so infectious! I can't stop listening to it. Like The Prophet, I too wish Chelsea was more prominently featured on the song. Her vocals are one of the better bits in the song and don't appear until the very end.

The video features Chelsea and the rest of the Paradiso Girls as well as a special cameo by Colby O'Donis. This is sure to be one of my summer jams!

Natasha Bedingfield Collaborating with Wyclef Jean & Sam Sparro

While it seems like I saw Natasha Bedingfield in concert at Paradise Rock Club just yesterday, it was actually sometime last year (what an awesome show - The Veronicas opened!).

She's hard at work on her new album in the U.S. According to a recent email update, Natasha has been in the studio with "musical genius" Wyclef Jean and Sam Sparro, whom she says she's going to make a "cool collaboration" with. Good news! She's also been writing with Brian Kennedy (producer on Rihanna's "Disturbia") and Mike Elizondo, whom she wrote much of her last album with. About Mike, Natasha says "I like working with him so much. He is so versatile and plays almost every instrument excellently."

According to her update, Natasha's headed back to the UK for a month or so to work on new material and hopes to have a new album out by the end of 2009.

Welcome Back - Holly Valance

Posted: 04 May 2009 04:54 PM PDT

Thanks to my new number one resource, The Prophet, I learned that actress/singer Holly Valance, is working on new music! The last music we heard from Holly was the 2003 chart dud, State of Mind, and the single of the same name. I bought that album at the Virgin Megastore on Michigan Avenue in Chicago and have to admit, never really listened to it. I think at the time I wasn't too much into electro-pop...now I have a whole new appreciation/love/lust for it. I think I'll give it a second chance, since so many Prophet readers seem to like it.

While the single peaked on the UK charts at #8, her album only managed to reach #60. It didn't fare much better in Australia (#57 on the ARIA Album Chart). The album did the best in Japan, where it reached #12 on the Oricon Album Chart. After Valance was dropped/left her label she did some vocal work for Har Mar Superstar on his 2005 album, but disappeared from music for the most part, moving to LA to focus on acting where she had moderate success in television and film.

According to Valance's blog, she's collaborating with up & coming UK electro-pop artist Frankmusik. This is great news. I still love her debut album, Footprints. "Kiss Kiss" was the first song I learned by her (after having heard Stella Soliel do it first). "Naughty Girl" and "Down Boy" are also decent tracks. Can't wait to hear what Holly offers up next!
