<p><strong>Rihanna&#8217;s &#8220;Rehab&#8221;</strong>, featuring <strong>Justin Timberlake</strong> and <strong>Timbaland</strong>, is a pretty cool track, that lately, I can&#8217;t seem to get out of my head.</p>
<p>The first time that I heard it was on digital radio&#8230;and the first thing that came to mind was &#8220;this sounds like a Timberlake/Timbaland production&#8221;. Sure enough, the DJ came on and announced that is was. &#8220;Rehab&#8221; was written by Justin Timberlake, Timbaland and Hannon Lane, with Timberlake and Timbaland contributing backing vocals.</p>
<p>At times, the lyrics in the verses, believe it or not, are quite challenging to sing along to &#8211; they&#8217;re very rhythmic and the vocal placement is unexpected, which I like a lot.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&amp;videoid=46681895" target="_blank">Watch &#8220;Rehab&#8221; video</a>:</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><img width="240" height="240" alt="Ashlee Simpson - Bittersweet World" title="Ashlee Simpson - Bittersweet World" src="http://www.bandweblogs.com/ashleesimpson.jpg" /></p>
<p>When <strong>Ashlee Simpson</strong> went back in to the studio to make her third album, <em><strong>&#8216;Bittersweet World&#8217;</strong></em>, she wanted to make a party record. And when an artist wants to get the party started, who better to call than <strong>Timbaland</strong>? So that&#8217;s what she did. And then she called <strong>The Neptunes</strong> and they called their friend synth-hop savant <strong>Kenna</strong>. And that&#8217;s when the fun started.</p>
<p>The first single from the album; <strong>&#8220;Outta My Head (Ay Ay Ay)&#8221;</strong> is set for UK release on Interscope through Polydor Records May 12th, 2008 and was the result of some one on one time in the studio with hitmaker Timbaland. It showcases Ashlee&#8217;s new direction &#8211; mashing beats with guitars to create a unique feel on this track and the album as a whole. Other standout tracks include the pop rock anthem &#8220;Little Miss Obsessive&#8221; as well as &#8220;Murder, What I&#8217;ve Become&#8221; and her personal favourite, the slow jam &#8220;Never Dream Alone&#8221;.</p>
<p><em>&#8216;Bittersweet World&#8217;</em> UK release is May 19th, 2008 (US &#8211; April 22).</p>
<p>Ashlee Simpson has already had two multi-platinum albums (<em>&#8216;Autobiography&#8217;</em> and<em> &#8216;I Am Me&#8217;</em>) that debuted back to back at the top of the charts, and collectively sold more than four million copies in the U.S. alone. She has won a Billboard Award, 2 Teen Choice Awards and has two sold-out tours under her belt.</p>
<p>She also has a loving boyfriend, a tight-knit family, a loyal fan base, and a burgeoning second career as an actress (which resulted in her calling London home for four months last year while she starred in Chicago). So when it came time to create her third album, she wanted the music to represent where she was at in life.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Life is really good right now. I&#8217;m young. I love my life and I enjoy my time off too. I wanted to celebrate all that.&#8221;</em></p>

<p>With their <strong>&#8216;Red Carpet Massacre World Tour&#8217;</strong> now underway, in support of the release of their 12th studio album, musical innovators <strong>Duran Duran</strong> have announced details of four special UK shows that will form part of an extensive 30 date European summer run.</p>
<p>Taking in Liverpool, Nottingham, Birmingham and London, the four original members of Duran Duran: <strong>Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, Roger Taylor</strong> and <strong>John Taylor</strong> will be bringing a spectacular new production to British shores that will showcase their latest record, alongside all of the fan-favourites from their vast catalogue of hits.</p>
<p>This will be the first time that the band have performed at some of these venues &#8211; namely, their first outing in the O2 Arena in London, the Liverpool Echo Arena and the NIA in Birmingham.</p>
<p><span id="more-1000"></span><strong>The four Duran Duran 2008 UK shows are:</strong></p>

<p align="center"><img width="240" height="240" alt="Duran Duran - Red Carpet Massacre" title="Duran Duran - Red Carpet Massacre" src="http://www.bandweblogs.com/duranduranredcarpet.jpg" /></p>
<p>This upcoming leg of the tour will see the group&#8217;s first performances in the UK since the release of <em><strong>&#8216;Red Carpet Massacre&#8217;</strong></em> (Epic Records), which the band launched late last year with an unprecedented two-week Broadway residency in New York, and a one-night-only engagement, that was filmed for television at the Lyceum Theatre in London.</p>
<p>In a bold move, Duran Duran performed their new record in its entirety to sold-out houses in both the UK and US, prior to the album&#8217;s global launch. Encouraged by the enthusiastic response from fans and critics alike, the band are now taking a specially tailored version of this three-act show on the road around the world, starting in Australia and New Zealand, headlining the V Festival series, alongside their own shows.</p>
<p><em>&#8216;Red Carpet Massacre&#8217;</em> marks an all-time creative high for the band members, who wrote and recorded this ground-breaking album with producers <strong>Timbaland</strong> and <strong>Nate &#8216;Danja&#8217; Hills</strong>, alongside today&#8217;s reigning king of pop, <strong>Justin Timberlake</strong>.</p>
<p>Duran Duran have also confirmed that the critically acclaimed Sheffield indie band the <strong>Arctic Monkeys</strong> have remixed the bands second single <strong>&#8220;Skin Divers&#8221;</strong>. The track remixed by Arctic Monkey&#8217;s drummer <strong>Matt Helders</strong> is also rumoured to feature sampled vocals by Helders and lead singer Alex Turner.</p>
<p>The Arctic&#8217;s association with the eighties pop legends extends to the bands last album <em>&#8216;Favourite Worst Nightmare&#8217;</em> in which they pay homage to several Duran Duran tracks on &#8220;I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor&#8221; where the band use the lyrics <em>&#8220;Your name isn&#8217;t Rio, but I don&#8217;t care for sand&#8221;</em> and on the acclaimed &#8220;Teddy Picker&#8221; which contains the lyrics <em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t want your prayer, save it for the morning after&#8221;</em>. Duran Duran&#8217;s John Taylor is one of their biggest fans. &#8220;I love them, they are one of the best bands to have come out in the last five years, probably the best.&#8221;</p>
<p>The band are also teaming up with Grammy award winning artist, producer and re-mixer <strong>Mark Ronson</strong> in the Summer.</p>
<p>Duran Duran&#8217;s spokesman said: <em>&#8220;I can&#8217;t confirm any specific details at the moment, other than to say that they are definitely discussing working on some material together and a possible live collaboration for the Summer of this year, there is a mutual respect and admiration of each other&#8217;s work.&#8221;</em> Ronson has also made no secret that he is a fan of Duran Duran, &#8220;I have a soft spot for some of that 1980s production and I love great bands from that era such as Duran Duran.&#8221;</p>
<p>Garnering them some of their best reviews to date, RCM has been described as:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;&#8230; their best album since Notorious&#8221;</em> by British dance music bible, <strong>MIXMAG</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;another promising sign of the creative and commercial rebirth in the 21st Century of Duran Duran&#8230;without doubt the strongest thing they have put out since their 1992 comeback (The Wedding Album)&#8221;</em> by the <strong>Sunday Times Culture</strong></p>
<p>Writing for the Saturday Times Magazine, revered music critic <strong>Craig Mclean</strong> remarked: <em>&#8220;&#8216;Red Carpet Massacre&#8217; is a collection of super catchy tunes that deftly marry the band&#8217;s proven way with a melody, with edgy hip hop and R&#038;B influenced production from Timbaland.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>Marie Claire magazine</strong> adds that it&#8217;s <em>&#8220;a guilty pleasure indeed&#8221;</em></p>
<p>During an illustrious career spanning three decades, Duran Duran have remained at the forefront of popular music, consistently pushing the creative envelope and breaking new ground. Since their inception, the band have sold over 70 million albums, recorded countless hit records, received numerous accolades, and have been presented with no fewer than five prestigious &#8220;Lifetime Achievement&#8221; awards since 2002 (MTV Video Music Award, Q Magazine, The BRITS, Ivor Novello, Spanish Ondas).</p>
<p>Speaking backstage from their concert in Perth, Australia, Duran Duran front-man Simon LeBon said how much they were looking forward to performing again in England with a new production. <em>&#8220;These are going to be extremely exciting shows for us&#8221;</em>, he said, <em>&#8220;taking a very different format to the last world tour we did in 2006. We are introducing a lot of new elements into the mix &#8211; both musically and in terms of the staging. We have been working on completely different arrangements for some of the older material and will be integrating a lot of our latest record into the performances. We need to keep things fresh &#8211; not only for ourselves, but also for our audiences, who can be assured of a lot of surprises with this new production.&#8221;</em></p>

<p><strong>Madonna&#8217;s</strong> 11th studio album for Warner Brothers Records <em><strong>&#8216;Hard Candy&#8217;</strong></em> will be released in the UK April 28th, 2008 (US &#8211; April 29).</p>
<p><em>&#8216;Hard Candy&#8217;</em>, the follow-up to Madonna&#8217;s <em>&#8216;Confessions On A Dance Floor&#8217;</em> which debuted at No. 1 in 30 countries and sold over 8 million copies, has been described as a brilliant up-tempo collection of 12 songs in which Madonna remains ensconced in club mode but this time adds an urban hip hop beat in collaboration with musical partners <strong>Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams</strong> of the Neptunes and <strong>Nate &#8216;Danja&#8217; Hills</strong>.</p>
<p><span id="more-925"></span>The debut single, the pulsating <strong>&#8220;4 Minutes&#8221;</strong>, will be released digitally on March 26th, 2008 and physically on April 21st.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The album title is a juxtaposition of tough and sweetness&#8230;kind of like I&#8217;m gonna kick your ass but it&#8217;s going to make you feel good. And of course, I love candy&#8221;</em> laughed Madonna.</p>
<p>Madonna is the biggest selling female solo artist ever. A multi-Grammy-award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, stage performer, children&#8217;s book author, director and documentary film maker, she has sold over 200 million albums in the course of her unprecedented two decade plus career and is slated to be inducted into the <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.rockhall.com/">Rock &#038; Roll Hall of Fame</a></strong> on March 10th, 2008 (other 2008 inductees: Leonard Cohen, The Dave Clark Five, John Mellencamp and The Ventures).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><img width="398" height="489" alt="Timbaland" title="Timbaland" src="http://www.bandweblogs.com/timbaland.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong>Timbaland</strong> took the honours for the biggest selling singles artist of 2007 with combined sales of <strong>&#8220;The Way I Are&#8221;, &#8220;Apologize&#8221;, &#8220;Give It To Me&#8221;</strong> and <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na4x2Uwflmg">&#8220;Ayo Technology&#8221;</a></strong> (which he had a writing credit on) exceeding 1 million units. So what better way to kick off 2008 than with another smash hit single from his <strong>double-platinum selling album <em>&#8216;Shock Value&#8217;</em></strong>.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Scream&#8221;</strong> is another killer R&#038;B pop track from Timbaland that blends laid back beats with crunchy rock guitar riffs. The track features vocals from emerging artist <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.myspace.com/kerihilson">Keri Hilson</a></strong> &#8211; a member of writing and production group <strong>The Clutch</strong> who have worked with artists including <strong>Britney Spears, <a href="http://bandweblogs.com/blog/2007/12/19/mary-j-blige-to-release-just-fine-single-and-growing-pains-album-in-the-uk-watch-video/">Mary J. Blige</a></strong> and <strong>Ciara</strong> and <strong>Pussycat Doll</strong> &#8211; and solo artist <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.hernameisnicole.com/">Nicole Scherzinger</a></strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Watch the making of Timbaland&#8217;s new <a target="_blank" href="http://music.yahoo.com/promo-42778155-58-20080107-autoplay">&#8220;Scream&#8221; video with Keri Hilson and Nicole Scherzinger</a></strong>:</p>
<p><embed id="eda_smash_ePlayer" src="http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/embed/embedflv/swf/fop_embed.swf" width="412" height="430" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"  wmode="transparent"  bgColor=""  allowScriptAccess="always" flashVars="id=v54501132&#038;autoStart=0&#038;songPurchasing=&#038;pm=1&#038;eID=1301797&#038;ympsc=4195334"></embed></p>
<p>The seductive track is matched by an equally steamy video complete with ladies clad in spandex and balaclavas plus fast cars and bank heists.</p>
<p>Timbaland has been nominated for Best International Male Solo Artist at the Brit Awards this year as well as five Grammy Awards for Record of the Year, Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals, Best Dance Recording, Best Rap Song and Producer of the Year. He has had two UK #1 singles with &#8220;Give It To Me&#8221; and &#8220;The Way I Are&#8221;, three #1 TV airplay singles with &#8220;Give It To Me&#8221;, &#8220;The Way I Are&#8221; and &#8220;Apologise&#8221; and three top 10 national radio airplay singles.</p>
<p>There is no doubt that 2007 was a huge year for this immensely talented artist, producer and performer but it&#8217;s looking like 2008 could be even bigger.</p>
<p>Scream featuring Keri Hilson and Nicole Scherzinger is set for UK release on Polydor Records on March 10th, 2008.</p>

You will already know the stunning track "Apologize", the smash-hit song that uber-producer Timbaland remixed for OneRepublic.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><img width="438" height="286" alt="OneRepublic" title="OneRepublic" src="http://www.bandweblogs.com/onerepublic.jpg" /></p>
<p>You will already know the stunning track <strong>&#8220;Apologize&#8221;</strong>, the smash-hit song that uber-producer <strong><a href="http://www.timbalandmusic.com/">Timbaland</a></strong> remixed for <strong>OneRepublic</strong>. It was one of the biggest selling singles of 2007 on both sides of the Atlantic, staying in the UK Top 10 for 13 weeks and making history by becoming the <strong>biggest ever airplay hit on US radio, with over 10,000 plays</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>The first rock band to be signed to Timbaland&#8217;s record label</strong>, OneRepublic are now ready to take centre stage. Their new track <strong>&#8220;Stop and Stare&#8221;</strong> is set for release on March 3rd, 2008 through <strong>Moseley Music Group/Interscope Records</strong>, followed by their <em><strong>debut album &#8216;Dreaming Out Loud&#8217;</strong></em> out March 10th in the UK. The album is produced by <strong>Greg Wells</strong> (<strong>Rufus Wainwright, Mika</strong>) and OneRepublic&#8217;s lead singer <strong>Ryan Tedder</strong>.</p>
<p>The LA-based band &#8211; singer Ryan, guitarists <strong>Zach Filkins</strong> and <strong>Drew Brown</strong>, bass and cello player <strong>Brent Kutzle</strong> and Drummer <strong>Eddie Fisher</strong> &#8211; have created a confident debut album, brimming with emotional lyrics, beautiful musical arrangements and stunning vocals.</p>
<p><em>&#8216;Dreaming Out Loud&#8217;</em> is a 15 track tour de force. New single &#8220;Stop and Stare&#8221; is a fusion of anthemic guitars and insistent vocals and describes the common frustration of getting to a place in life where you think, <em>&#8220;How in the world did I end up here, this isn&#8217;t where I wanted to be, watching what I wanted pass me by,&#8221;</em> says the band. The original version of &#8220;Apologize&#8221; is a beautiful song that explores the personal pain of multiple relationships gone awry and the necessity of moving on. The gorgeous yearning <strong>&#8220;Prodigal&#8221;</strong>, the rock ballad <strong>&#8220;Say (All I Need)&#8221;</strong> and the hushed melody of <strong>&#8220;Come Home&#8221;</strong> come together to create a solid and passionate debut album from one of America&#8217;s rising groups.</p>
<p>OneRepublic have become one of the biggest bands on <strong>Myspace</strong> with over 20 million songs played and counting. Along with his band&#8217;s rising success, Ryan Tedder is a Grammy nominated writer and producer, and <strong>co-wrote the biggest UK single of last year &#8211; <a href="http://www.bandweblogs.com/blog/2007/10/22/leona-lewis-bleeding-love-single-watch-video/">Leona Lewis&#8217; &#8220;Bleeding Love&#8221;</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Timbaland says of the band, <em>&#8220;OneRepublic bring something out of each other. They work so well together and it&#8217;s a very natural chemistry.&#8221;</em></p>

<p>For some, it&#8217;s not cool to like <strong>Justin Timberlake</strong>. For others, he&#8217;s the one. The Prince of Pop. The &#8216;it&#8217; guy.</p>
<p>The more singles that Justin Timberlake releases, the more he&#8217;s growing on me. His voice, the harmonies, the feel of the mix and the production on his songs are quality. When I first heard <strong>&#8220;Cry Me A River&#8221;</strong> I thought, &#8220;What is this?&#8221; It&#8217;s got to be one of the best pop songs that I&#8217;ve heard so far in the 21st century.</p>
<p>Also, people want to work with him. His collaborations with other singers, producers and musicians confirms to me that there is &#8217;something there&#8217; when it comes to not only his music, but his character as well. Established names in the music industry like <strong>50 Cent, Missy Elliott, Beyonce, Nelly Furtado, Timbaland, Rick Rubin, <a href="http://www.bandweblogs.com/blog/2007/07/20/reba-mcentire-duets-album-because-of-you-video-with-kelly-clarkson/">Reba McEntire</a>, Duran Duran</strong> and <strong>Snoop Dog</strong> are just a few of the names that he&#8217;s already worked with.</p>
<p>On November 25th, 2007 <strong>Channel 4</strong> in England aired <strong>FutureSex/LoveShow</strong>, Justin Timberlake&#8217;s August 2007 concert at <strong>Madison Square Garden</strong> in New York City. I just happened to turn on the TV just a few minutes into the 2-hour show. I didn&#8217;t plan on watching the whole thing, but that&#8217;s what I ended up doing.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t recall ever seeing live footage of a Justin Timberlake concert like the FutureSex/LoveShow before. I was impressed. The concert came across as a great party atmosphere that included a spectacular light show with songs from the <em><strong>&#8216;FutureSex/LoveSounds&#8217;</strong></em> album and more. The dancers were fun to watch &#8211; dressed in casual clothes most of the time &#8211; with the exception of the strippers/dancers for one of the songs!</p>
<p>At times Justin would dance on his own, which takes some nerve and a lot of confidence. The backup singers sounded and looked good. <strong><a href="http://www.timbalandmusic.com/">Timbaland</a></strong> made a guest appearance and for some songs, Justin played the piano/keyboard. His voice sounded great when he was dancing and he seems to be at the top of his game.</p>
<p>The word Future in both the title of his show and his album seems appropriate. With all that he&#8217;s done so far, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for Justin Timberlake. It seems for him, the sky is the limit.</p>
<p>The FutureSex/LoveShow that aired on TV didn&#8217;t include all that is available on the DVD that has just been released. It mainly showed the live performances with just some backstage footage.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a track listing that I found for the Australian DVD release&#8230;not sure if this is the same track listing for the US and UK release:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><img width="250" height="251" border="0" alt="Alicia Keys - As I Am" title="Alicia Keys - As I Am" src="http://www.bandweblogs.com/aliciakeysasiam.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong>Alicia Keys</strong> has once again come up with the goods with her new video for hit single, <strong>&#8220;No One&#8221;</strong>. The single is off of her third studio album, <em><strong>&#8216;As I Am,&#8217;</strong></em> set for release on November 13th, 2007 on <strong>J Records</strong>. <em>&#8216;As I Am&#8217;</em> features collaborations with <strong><a href="http://www.johnmayer.com/">John Mayer</a>, <a href="http://www.lindaperry.net/">Linda Perry</a></strong>, <strong>Floetry&#8217;s Marsha Ambrosius</strong> and <strong>Timbaland</strong>.</p>
<p>Ever since a friend handed me her debut CD, <em><strong>&#8216;Songs in A Minor&#8217;</strong></em> and I heard <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=712cMG7DYY0">&#8220;Fallin&#8217;&#8221;</a></strong> for the first time, back in 2001, I knew we were on to something good &#8211; and it seems Alicia Keys has just been getting better as the years go on. On stage she&#8217;s grown from being the girl with braids, sitting behind the piano to a now more glamorous woman who can dance and &#8220;work&#8221; the stage more comfortably.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s too bad that <strong>Britney Spears</strong> walked away with the most publicity after the <strong>2007 Video Music Awards</strong>. After watching Alicia Keys at the VMAs, it&#8217;s amazing that this talented singer and performer wasn&#8217;t all the rage after the show. Luckily, though, there&#8217;s still plenty of time to savor a fine performance, like a fine wine. Maybe in the long run, it&#8217;s best that Alicia&#8217;s hype is more subtle.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&#038;videoid=18120872">Watch Alicia Keys perform &#8220;No One&#8221; at the VMAs</a></strong></p>
<p>When I was growing up, <strong><a href="http://www.irenecara.com/">Irene Cara</a></strong> and <strong>Donna Summer</strong> were two of my favorite singers to sing along with. Alicia Keys has captured that feeling with &#8220;No One&#8221; along with a current and modern vibe. Since her voice naturally sounds the way it does, there&#8217;s no need for the flamboyant &#8220;trills&#8221; that have become the norm for so many singers. The video for &#8220;No One&#8221; is a new window into the world of Ms. Keys and it&#8217;s great to see true talent once again, hitting the airwaves.</p>
