| Posted: 27 Jul 2009 07:32 PM PDT Oops! My bad. I forgot to include a piece of artwork in my last album artwork update! It's for the new Backstreet Boys single, entitled "Straight Through My Heart." While not newsworthy enough for it's own post, combined with the release of Madonna's new single artwork for "Celebration", I thought I'd do another little album art update. +Thanx+to+Safhri.jpg) via Coverlandia The new BSB single is surprisingly hot! Not a syrupy ballad, this one has JAM written all over it. "Straight Through The Heart," produced by RedOne, is the first single off of their 7th album This Is Us, out in October. The boys' have lined up the hitmakers for the new album - for sure!! Included in the roster: Max Martin, Ryan Tedder, RedOne, Ne-Yo, Jazze Pha, Pitbull, Akon, Jim Jonsin, T-Pain and more! Wow. This may be the first BSB album that I purchase. The single is due to be released digitally at the end of August/early September.  via Coverlandia I don't really need to say much more on the Madonna artwork, as I said plenty on her upcoming new greatest hits album in my last post. The single artwork definitely fits in nicely with the album artwork. This is shaping up to be quite a hot summer/fall of music!

| New Album Update - Whitney Houston, Beverley Knight, Queen Latifah & Avril Lavigne Posted: 27 Jul 2009 04:52 PM PDT With my Blog "To-Do" List growing by the day, I'm cramming a few updates into one right here in an abbreviated form. Here's a little bit of information about a few new albums I'm getting excited about.  "Nothin' But Love" "Call You Tonight" "I Look To You" "Like I Never Left" (featuring Akon) "A Song For You" "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" "Worth It" "For The Lovers" "I Got You"  Beverley Knight - 100% (Release Date: 9/14/2009 - UK): When I first heard Beverley Knight's new single, "Beautiful Night," this morning (via ArjanWrites) I was impressed. I was expecting just another R&B song but I really am digging this one. Knight not only looks stunning in the video, but the mid-tempo jam is actually quite catchy. Slick production, beautiful vocals...what more could one expect from an industry pro like Knight? .png) Artwork via Coverlandia Queen Latifah - Persona (Release Date: 8/22/2009): As dated as Latifah's '94 single "U.N.I.T.Y." might sound today, there's no denying it was a solid track. It seems like her days of rapping/singing are but a distant memory, with Queen Latifah (Dana Owens) focusing on acting, singing jazz standards and being a CoverGirl spokes model. The time has come for a return to form! Now that we know Latifah can really SING, put those pipes to use on something NOW...something HIP...something radio stations will latch on to. New album Persona, might just be the ticket. While I don't really think Latifah needs to prove anything to anyone, I'm just anxious to hear her vocals on the radio. In a recent interview with Billboard, Latifah sheds some light on the new album and what we can expect to hear. In the interview Latifah said "I realize that I haven't been in the game for a while...I just want it to be heard." Working with Cool & Dre on much of the album, there will be singing and rapping as well as collaborations. According to Latifah, "This album is definitely rooted in hip-hop, but there's a lot of singing too. I've always sung on my records. I was always a person who mixed a lot of melody with rhymes." I, for one, cannot WAIT to hear the Queen return to her hip-hop roots. Download the album's lead single "Cue The Rain." - Via Billboard  Avril Lavigne - Untiled 4th Album (Release Date: November ??): I first heard Avril Lavigne's breakout track "Complicated" online and immediately was drawn to it's angsty chorus. It's been a love/like/dislike relationship with Avril Lavigne ever since. Loved debut album Let Go; liked follow up Under My Skin; disliked The Best Damn Thing. According to Billboard, her new, as of yet, untitled record is going to be more raw and stripped down."A lot of the songs are mainly the acoustic and my vocal. It's a lot different from anything I've done before," Lavigne tells Billboard. "It's not a pop rock record. This is more about emotion and feeling." Interesting. I could possibly dig this. In listening to her ballads and mid-tempo singles, you can tell Lavigne has the pipes. It's when she starts jumping up and down and "rocking out" that her vocals get all wavery and inconsistent. After the album, which was considerably "poppier" than any of her previous efforts, Lavigne needs to take it down a notch. While first single isn't a sure thing yet, it could be the full length version of the song Lavigne recorded to help launch her first fragrance called "Black Star." Not bad at all. Husband and Sum41 frontman Deryck Whibley produced much of the album, while Lavigne wrote. In addition, Lavigne collaborated with former bandmate (and aspiring solo artist) Evan Taubenfield. I'll definitely be purchasing the new record - if for no other reason than to complete my Avril Lavigne CD collection. Sounds like she's off on the right track. - Via Billboard Check out Avril Lavigne on the web: Official Site//MySpace//Imeem//YouTube
