Music Update!!!



-Here is the cover for the new Girls Aloud single, The Promise that I raved about earlier this week. It just gets better and better each time I listen to it. They all look super vampy and loverly in this photo.

-The Killers will be releasing their new album titled Day & Age on November 25, 2008. The first single is called Human, and will be released on radio September 22. Uber-producer, Stuart Price, is producing the album. He worked magic on Madonna's Confessions on a Dance Floor a few years ago.


-I heard M.I.A.'s amazing and gritty Paper Planes on a mainstream/Top 40 radio station yesterday, and I was shocked. This is huge, but I also think it could be bad. M.I.A. was always a very indie, edgy artist who no one ever thought could go mainstream, but after this song was used in the Pineapple Express trailer, everyone got into her. I first heard this song back in January and loved it then. They take out the gunshots in the radio version which is not surprising, but really detracts from the song's power. I don't think she'll get a big head though.
-Lady GaGa's debut album, The Fame, will now be released on October 28. I can't wait!
