DEBORAH COX - DESTINATION MOON [ALBUM COVER]

Here is the cover for Deborah Cox’s upcoming album “Destination Moon”, which is due June 19th via Decca Records. The new set will include covers of jazz classics such as “All Of Me”, “I Don’t Hurt Anymore”, “Misery”, “What A Diff’rence A Day Made” and “This Bitter Earth”. I can’t say that I’m looking forward to “Destination Moon” as much as her forthcoming R&B album which is rumored to be released later this year, but all in all, I wish the Canadian songstress all the best :)

JAZZY SIGNS WITH FOXX

R&B songstress Jazzy wrote a new message on her official MySpace profile announcing that she recently signed a major deal with actor/singer Jamie Foxx's new publishing company Foxx King Entertainment. The "In Love" singer is also working on the follow up to her debut album "Oh Jazzy", which was released independently late last year. I'm expecting some hot collabos this time around, so stay tuned!

NEW KELIS MATERIAL SOON?

Source

Hip Hop producer Dame Grease revealed in an interview with MTV that he’s working with R&B vocalist Kelis on new material, and he’s pushing for one of the joints to be a single. I guess this means that our beloved songstress is back in the studio, and I honestly couldn’t be any happier, especially since the sales figures of her last album “Kelis Was Here” weren’t very encouraging! It’s also important to not that this is not the first time Grease collaborates with the “Bossy” singer, as their initial placement was on the track “Stick Up”, taken from her 3rd album “Tasty”. Other producers expected to lend their contributions on the new set include Raphael Saadiq (Joss Stone, John Legend), ShondraeBangladeshCrawford (Ciara, Missy Elliot) and Jamal “Polow Da Don” Jones (Keyshia Cole, Christina Aguilera).

AUSTIN AND DUPRI WIN BIG @ THE ASCAP AWARDS 2007

Source

I’d like to congratulate songwriter Johnta Austin and producer Jermaine Dupri for winning the title “Songwriter of the Year” at the ASCAP awards, which was held on 18th April at the Kodak Centre, Los Angeles. They shared the award for penning successful tracks such as: Chris Brown’s “Yo (Excuse Me Miss)”, Mary J. Blige’s “Be Without You”, Bow Wow’s “Like You” featuring Ciara, and Mariah Carey’s “Don't Forget About Us”.

 

Austin is currently writing songs on the next albums by Chris Brown (Jive Records), Whitney Houston (J Records), Mya (Motown Records) and Enrique Iglesias (Interscope Records), whereas his upcoming debut album “Ocean Drive” is expected to boast productions courtesy of Bryan Michael Cox (Nicole Scherzinger, Claudette Ortiz), Scott Storch (Kelly Rowland, Amerie), No I.D. (Common, Toni Braxton) and Teddy Bishop (LeToya Luckett, Aaliyah).  Dupri, on the other hand, is belting out joints on the forthcoming albums by Usher (Jive Records), Ashanti (Def Jam Records), Mariah Carey (Def Jam Records), 3LW (Jive Records) and Janet Jackson (Virgin Records).

DIXON GETS FIRED FROM RECORD LABEL

According to very reliable sources, former Misteeq member Alesha Dixon parted ways with Polydor Records after her 2 singles, "Lipstick" and "Knockdown", failed to score highly on the UK Singles Chart. This is really sad cuz I've been waiting impatiently for her debut album "Fired Up" to come out, especially since it was expected to contain hot collaborations with producers/songwriters Brian Higgins & Xenomania (Sugababes, Kylie Minogue), Richard X (Kelis, Rachel Stevens), Cathy Dennis (Janet Jackson, Britney Spears) and Mark Hill (Craig David, Christina Milian).

 

At the end, all I can say is, Alesha is an extremely beautiful and talented woman, and hopefully she'll get another deal with a major record company that will promote her properly. Hang in there my friend :)

"SAY HI TO" CHE'NELLE

Thanx to blog reader Mary, I was aroused to learn more about Australian Pop/R&B artist Che’Nelle, and here’s what I found … She’s currently in America recording her forthcoming album, which is due later this year via Virgin Records. The new set will boast collaborations with producers Rich Harrison (Amerie, Christina Aguilera), Sean Garrett (Gwen Stefani, Kelly Rowland) and The Arkitects (Chris Brown, Karina Pasian). PS. Janet Jackson’s reject “Pops Up” is apparently given to Che’Nelle, and I wonder if she’ll do that club banga justice!
