day 344

music madness
so much music related news broke today. album covers, music videos and new projects all took headlines. first up, album covers. rihanna's thanksgiving week debut, rated r, looks like it will be very dark. i already had that assumption from lead single "russian roulette," but i was hoping for some lighter, pop fare a la "umbrella."
i just hope dark and tortured riri isn't here to stay. that's a far cry from her "pon de replay days" adam lambert, aka american idol's runner up, also revealed the cover art for his debut, for your entertainment.
what a tranny hot mess. who does adam think he is? olivia newton john in xanadu? pretty ridiculous, but so is the music video for adam's lead single, "time for miracles," which is included on the 2012 movie soundtrack.
i'm sorry, is it 1988? i'm very confused. between the album cover and music video/single, i know that when i said adam lambert could never be a pop star i was right. who is listening to this? it sounds like a cast off bon jovi ballad.
in better music video news, chris brown (featuring swizz beats and lil wayne) debuted the video for his new single "i can transform ya." his new album is reportedly inspired by the transformers film series and that's pretty evident in the new music video. check it out for yourself above.
my favorite ryan sheckler/jesse mccartney hybrid, 15-year-old, justin bieber released a new song today, "love me," which samples the 90s hit "lovefool." this song actually makes me kind of like justin, but it's weird to hear children sing about love. i had this same conundrum when jojo came out talking about getting out of a relationship. um, where are you getting this experience? i also don't buy that he's 15. maybe in dog years.

and, finally, the new project i teased is nick jonas' new solo record. working with a back-up band called "the administration" (nick's nickname is "mr. president), a song is expected from the youngest member of the jobros before the end of the year. in an interview with parade magazine, momma jonas let the news slip, saying nick was actually at the photo shoot for the cd's cover art. with eldest jonai kevin tying the knot in the next couple of month, does this mean the jonas brothers are no more? that's unknown, but i can't imagine they'll be able to maintain their squeaky-clean tween image for much longer. a 21-year-old still pretending to be in high school is just a little bit creepy. ok, it's a lot a bit.
