Incredible New Stuff

So many huge artists have new releases out. First and foremost, there's Lil Wayne, who continues to be a top-seller across all media channels. His new single is called "Prom Queen", a guitar-driven, Rock-influenced Rap track. Kelly Clarkson has a super up-tempo tune "My Life Would Suck Without You" from her upcoming album All I Ever Wanted. U2's new one "Get On Your Boots" has hints of Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" within the lyrics and melody. INXS did something similar to U2 with their song "Mediate" back in the early 90's, stylistically referencing the same Dylan track. As for hot new videos, one doesn't need to look further than Soulja Boy's "Kiss Me Thru The Phone", Kanye's "Heartless" and Nickelback's smash "Gotta Be Somebody". Oh, and did I mention Eminem's new single "Crack A Bottle" featuring Dr. Dre and 50 Cent??!! Tons of buzz on that one. Enjoy all the new music, check our Home page tabs, New Ringtones page and Charts for all the choices.

Beyonce has two great new hit singles and videos, both very different. The first one "If I Were A Boy" is a heartfelt ballad.

Here's a sample of some of the lyrics:
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wated
And I’d never get confronted for it.
Cause they’d stick up for me.

Next, she's got a feirce new bootyshaking pop jam with Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It). This song shows the dominant side of Beyonce, much like earlier hits Ring The Alarm and Survivor.

Pink says So What?


So What is the newest single off of Pink's upcoming album, Funhouse. The lyrics are the typical sassy in-your-face fun fans expect from Pink, with a quirky music video to match. A memorable moment of Pink's So What music video features Pink riding down Sunset Boulevard on a lawnmower drinking beer.

So so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

T.I. Gives You Whatever You Like


T.I.'s hit, Whatever You Like was produced by Jim Jonsin, the producer of Lil' Wayne's recent hit single Lollipop. Jonsin uses similar synthesizers, drum patterns, and a straightforward beat in both hits. I guess his formula works, and it doesn't hurt that both Lollipop and Whatever You Like have sexy lyrics too!

And we can pop bottles all night
Baby you can have whatever you like
I said you can have whatever you like
Yeah


... then the song goes on to describe some interesting things that can be done late at night :)

Miley Cyrus Hates 7 Things About You


When she's not grabbing headlines or posing in racy pictures, Miley Cyrus is making hit singles and shouting out her teen angst. Her latest single "7 Things" is a fun anthem for teenage girls that have had enough of jerks and stupid boys. It's an easy song for anyone involved in puppy love to relate to.

What are the 7 Things?
You're vain
Your games
You're insecure
You love me, you like her
You made me laugh, you made me cry, I don't know which side to buy
Your friends, they're jerks, when you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you

Enjoy the Miley Cyrus "7 Things" Ringtone.

Looking for Nas' Hero


The first single from Nas' upcoming "Untitled" LP is out: 'Hero,' featuring Keri Hilson, and produced by Polow Da Don.

If you check out the chorus, you'll see that once again Nas is sticking with more thought provoking subjects ... setting him apart from his more playful colleague and hitmaker, Lil Wayne.

Chain gleaming
Switching lanes
Two-seating
Hate him or love him
For the same reason (wish)
Can't leave it
The games needs him
Plus the people need someone to believe in (this)
So in God's Son we trust
'Cause they know I'm gonna give 'em what they want
They looking for . . . a hero
I guess that makes me . . . a hero

Whatever he's doing, he's doing it right. Lil Wayne is one of the hottest names in hip hop right now.

Already a Classic

As time goes on, music changes. In the early 80's, when Punk and Disco started to dissolve, New Wave came into existence. As keyboard-driven Pop died down later in that decade, Hair Bands came along and dominated Rock in the early 90’s. The mid 90’s brought along Grunge which turned into Hard Rock, giving way to today's artists. Throughout these different eras of music, there are classic songs that seem to slip the cracks of our memory. I’ve compiled a list of some of my favorite forgotten tunes; from the 90’s on. See if you recognize any of these not too distant hits

Possum Kingdom” by The Toadies

Closing Time” by Semisonic
The Impression That I Get” by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Breakfast at Tiffany’s” by Deep Blue Something
Rest In Pieces” by Saliva
Stacy’s Mom” by Fountains of Wayne
All For You” by Sister Hazel

New Single from Timbaland

The new single from Timbaland titled Apologize features One Republic, a Pop band who's gained major notoriety through the internet. It was via the web that the Colorado natives caught the attention of Mosley Music, Timbaland’s label. Of course, it didn’t hurt that the band’s lead singer Ryan Tedder was already busy in Los Angeles, writing and producing songs for the likes of Paul Oakenfold, t.A.T.u., Lil' Jon and Bubba Sparxxx.

The band, who have been compared to piano-based groups like Keane, Coldplay and veteran rockers U2, will be releasing their album titled Dreaming Out Loud in mid November.

The single "Apologize" was written by One Republic and will be featured on their debut release. Timbaland’s version (and current single) is actually a remix of the original. It's been climbing up the charts and has recently become one of Thumbplay's top-selling ringtones.

Most people will recognize that the Timbaland version is laced with his distinct sound. The smooth vocal melody, sung by Ryan Tedder, is reminiscent of a young Elton John with a little Justin Timberlake in the hook.

Besides being a great cut of the song, the ringtone is actually perfect for when an ex calls. What could be better than a customized tone for an ex? lol!

Timbaland is a celebrated Pop and Hip-Hop producer, who has worked with numerous major label artists. He found success early in his career working with artists like Missy Elliott, Aaliyah and Magoo. He later went on to work with top rappers Ludacris and Jay-Z. His recent collaborations include Pop stars Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake and 80's sensation Duran Duran.
