scouting for girls

The London based trio Scouting For Girls have announced the release date for their sophomore album Everybody Wants To Be On TV, but fans will have to wait until March 22nd 2010 before it is available to buy.

Roy Stride, frontman with Scouting for Girls said that the new album had been written but the band decided that it was not good enough, so it was trashed and the process restarted, “I just wanted to write the perfect pop song. We are perfectionists!”

Everybody Wants To Be On TV was recorded at Helioscentric Studios under the watchful eye of producer Andy Green, who was responsible for the triple Platinum self titled debut album from the band.

The album will be preceded by the new single This Ain’t A Love Song which will be released on March 7th 2010.

Scouting For Girls were the biggest selling British band of 2008, the debut album has sold over one million copies and featured four contagious hit singles, She’s So Lovely, Heartbeat, Elvis Ain’t Dead and It’s Not About You.

The band were also nominated for three Brit Awards and have gone on to sell out multiple tours and have most recently completed three intimate fan club Christmas parties. They will headline London’s Scala on February 11th 2010.

justin bieber

Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber is just 15 years old but has already created a huge splash in America with his R&B influenced pop music, earning him a support slot on Taylor Swift’s recent UK tour.

Bieber will release his UK debut single One Time on January 1st 2010 with his debut album My World to follow on January 18th.

The Canadian born Bieber has built a massive global following via his YouTube channel where he started out posting his own renditions of favourite tracks by Usher, Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder. With ten million video views under his belt Bieber began recording his own music and has since clocked up an astounding one one hundred million video views as well as 28 million streaming’s of the new single One Time.

Seven months after Bieber started posting his videos online, former So So Def marketing executive Scooter Braun flew the then 13-year old singer to Atlanta, to meet with his team, and it was there that Bieber first met his singing hero Usher.

Bieber says,  “I sang for him and his people and he really wanted to sign me then and there but I still had a meeting with Justin Timberlake who also wanted to sign me.  It turned out Usher’s deal was way better. He had L.A. Reid backing him up and Scooter had a lot of really good connections in Atlanta.  I always tease Usher now and remind him he how he blew me off the first time we met.”

The precocious pop star signed to Island Records in October 2008, to record the debut album My World, with production from star hit men like The Dream and Tricky Stewart who produced “Umbrella” for Rihanna and Beyonce’s latest smash, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).”

zolo - computer freak

London rapper Zolo found fame in the US as part of the band Doughla City, where he was known as ‘Dollar Bill’. The trio had a couple of hits, ‘Rockstar’ and ‘Mechanic’ and provided tour support for the likes of Julez Santana, Rick Ross and Guerilla Joe.

Just as their appeal began to spread across North America and Canada the band split, to pursue their separate dreams.

Zolo, who had dealt with the separation and divorce of his parents while growing up soon had to deal with more personal adversity with the loss of his father. During this hard time the singer was able to focus on developing his music. He found a way to express his feelings through music and with the support of Kurt Gentles from Ontime Music Group the new Zolo was born.

The debut single Computer Freak is an amusing and upbeat take on the perils of socialising on the internet and perversely is already a huge internet hit. The talented twenty-year old fuses R&B, Hip Hop and Dance flavours to bring this digital age rap to life for the radio and UK dancefloors alike!

Watch the new single Computer Freak by Zolo here.

It appears that the brilliant Paolo Nutini can do very little wrong in 2009, the success of his second album Sunny Side Up has been a feature of the UK top ten since its release in June and the singer has also enjoyed the pleasures of performing live at every opportunity.

Nutini has announced that the follow up single to the exuberant Pencil Full Of Lead, will be the reggae tinged 10/10, another of the album’s many highlights. 10/10 will be released on January 11th 2010.

Nutini is the biggest selling male artist of 2009, with Sunny Side Up selling over 600,000 copies so far and he will be capitalising on his popularity in the new year, not only with the single release, but with two special concerts at London’s Royal Albert Hall in April.

Following extensive tours of the UK, US, Europe, Australia and emphatic performances across the festival circuit, Nutini will play two special consecutive Royal Albert Hall shows, April 8 & 9th 2010.

Here is a clip of Nutini performing a beautiful version of the Arcade Fire track Wake Up.

michael buble

The multiple award winning Canadian singer Michael Buble is gearing up for his world tour in support of the album Crazy Love, which begins during March2010 in North America and will last into 2011.

The smooth entertainer will bring his Crazy Love show to the UK  in May 2010, with concerts in Sheffield, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Birmingham and two nights at London’s O2 Arena. Buble will continue his tour into western Europe via France, Holland, Italy, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland.

Buble is currently working with production designers from the late Michael Jackson’s This Is It shows in London and he says of the upcoming tour;

“I’m gonna have a huge production, yeah, but I do not want to rely on lasers or pyrotechnics or a set to make my show entertaining. I think a good entertainer should be able to have a stool and a microphone and a glass of water and you should be able to entertain people. I think all the production should be a bonus. What I want to create is intimacy. You’re playing an arena and it can be so cavernous and cold; I want to make it really intimate. That’s the most important thing.”

An intimate evening is what is on offer then, if that’s what you fancy Michael Buble tickets are already on sale for the UK and European dates.

Meanwhile Buble has suggested that he will be re-issuing his latest album Crazy Love with some tracks left over from the recording sessions. Among them will be Hollywood Dead which will become the third single to be taken from the album. “That’s probably the best pop song I’ve ever been part of,” says Buble, who co-wrote the track with Toronto songwriter Robert Scott.

A release date for the re-issue has yet to be announced.
