MUSIC NEWS: DANITY KANE ALBUM COVER / JOJO WORKING ON ALBUM / AMERIE & DEF JAM?

Thursday, February 14, 2008

The album cover for Danity Kane’s sophomore album, Welcome to the Dollhouse has leaked. It seems as though the girls are really doing their thing on the new season of Making the Band 4. From all the “official” material that I’ve heard, I really like the pop sound that they are going for.

For the most part on the show, so far, the girls have been in Diddy’s good graces. Their recording process is going well and it seems as though Dollhouse is set for a March 18th release! That’s right around the corner.


Their new single is “Damaged” is doing really well right now. It’s gotten pretty good response from bloggers and is impacting radio soon. Hopefully, one of these coming episodes is about the girls shooting the video or something. I’m not too sure about what’s going on with the boys, who we recently found out has been named Day 26. On the last episode, Diddy banned the boys from the studio until they learn to mesh better as a unit.

Make sure you stay tuned to CL for more information and tune into new episodes of Making the Band 4, Mondays at 10 PM EST.

JOJO WORKING ON 3RD ALBUM

According to her official MySpace blog, the young songstress JoJo is working on recording her third album. Here’s what JoJo had to say on the development of the new project:

I am in the process of recording my third album, presently. I hope to have it out this fall, but I will be releasing a single before then. I have written a lot of new music.

I’m glad JoJo decided to wait until she was 18 to release her third album, so that she can talk about more stuff. There’s only so much you can talk about being underage - I think that’s what holds back a lot of younger artists from really doing what they want to do, because people don’t take them seriously, and sometimes that makes it a lot harder for them to transition into adult artists.

It seems as though JoJo will release the new album via Universal Motown instead of Blackground/Universal, due to disappointment about the promotion of her last album, The High Road, which was actually a pretty impressive R&B effort. I am pretty excited to see what JoJo comes up with this time around. This should be interesting for her.

AMERIE TO SIGN WITH DEF JAM?

amerie.jpg

Recording artist Amerie is apparently making the cross from Sony Columbia to Island Def Jam, which houses such artists as Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey. In all honesty, Amerie needs something. The rumor is that Amerie was dropped from Columbia, where she released 3 albums (one overseas).

I guess that means that the third album, Because I Love It, will not see the light of day in the United States. I think that this will be good for Amerie, though, considering that she wasn’t getting the attention she needed from the other label. It really seemed as though they were jerking her around with that last project, but I guess it makes since, considering that Amerie has never been able to sell huge numbers, even with having great first singles.

Hopefully this can revive Amerie’s career. I think she’s beautiful, has an okay voice but great delivery over a track. She just needs to go ahead and get a host of A-list producers for her next project, and just bang out some hits. I think that the cross over to Def Jam may be the best thing for her. Good luck, Amerie!

The Danity Kane girls look like a bunch of top model rejects, who ever shot their album cover needs to be fired. Normally they look good.

Can’t wait for a new Jojo Cd.

I like the Danity Kane album cover. I couldnt really tell the difference between Aubrey and Shannon. But im excited to see what they are going to do with this album. I bought the first one, but It wasnt a listen from start to finish. So hopefully this one will be

I dont know if I missed this in another poster comments, but wasn’t JoJo linked to either Qwanelle or Willie from Day 26(the Making of the Band guy group). I remember there were some pictures of them on the internet around the time the guys were first picked for the group.

And the rumors won’t stop either. This girl is soooo desperate for attention & I doubt if Chris Brown is falling for her games. Hell…. even Shia LeBoufe (sp) & Josh Hartnett didn’t fall for it. :-) TRICK!! TAKE SOME SINGING LESSONS & STOP TRYING TO BECOME SOME FAMOUS MANS WIFEY. IT WON’T HELP YOUR STAGE PERFORMANCES ANYWAY :-)

Now I don’t know if anyone else caught this but two of the girls look exactly the same. You can tell one actually is Shannon, but the other doesn’t look like Aubrey at all! Diddy said he would let her go…..did they pull a switch-a-roo on us like Destiny’s Child?

I don’t know what to say about DanityKane, I only remember the showstopper song. Which I really liked. I been trying to keep up with the new making the band, which is really interesting. The album cover not so hot, kind of was expecting something more myself. I love JoJo’s voice and I hope she can come back with a great album. Amerie is my girl and I hope she could make it under Def Jam. It really helped Mariah Carey make a great comeback so why not. I loved both of her albums, but I didn’t get the only one overseas.

It’s weird how her most critically praised album “Because I love it” can get so much critical acclaim and guess what….Rich was not in charge of that project. She was….that has to say alot.

Get em Amerie!

Just cuz I don’t like the album cover doesn’t mean I don’t like DK. I just think the cover could look SO MUCH BETTER.

They brushed Audrey into another person altogether. Damn! Shannon looks like some hillbilly country singer. Everyone else managed to dodge the airbrush.

how did beyonce steal ameries style when crazy n love was the first song to have the gogo sound before amerie. the first gogo sound from her was one thing, which came out afer crazy.what u idiots needs to realize is that just because rich harrison was ameries producer does not mean that that was her style. for example lets say amerie went to a gymnastics skool, beyonce came n the advanced class already knowing how to do the things that amerie has been trying to learn since shes been there. usually u can tell what producer produced what song, so just because timbaland worked with nelly furtado, justin stole her sound WRONG!!!! producers have signature sounds. As much as amerie tries she will never have the deliverance to deliver that type of style. amerie would love to be able to deliver that type of style but cant, bottom line

I luv JoJo! I think she is the next Fergie. Just with a better voice and more class…..As far as MTB4? I think Aubrey is shagging Diddy. I think Donnie is letting Diddy shag him. When Diddy isn’t around, Aubrey and Donnie are shagging each other. And on the weekends Aubrey, Diddy and Donnie have threesomes!LMAO!!!…Amerie? I luv her songs “talking to me”, “why don’t we fall in luv” and “1 thing”. But sad enough to say, her day has come and gone. “1 thing” was the pinnacle of her career….

even if jojo releases her album in the fall, she still will only be about 17. but either way i think she is AMAZING especially for some1 so young.

DK is ok, but Aubrey’s head is getting to big. She’s like ‘ya’ll are riding with Danity Kane.” Ok broad you haven’t arrived yet. When you win a couple of awards then open your mouth. Until then hush up child you in grown folks bizness.

Do a bit of googling… Go-Go was the sound from jump and the producer very much used Amerie’s voice as a sort of instrument in crafting his sound… “Why don’t we fall in love” was the first song with the producers sound, which is Go-Go. And, that was released several years before Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love”… Go do a bit of googling…you’re wrong

Thought u was talking about rev runs jojo angel. eitherway, she can sing but not interested in her music.

amerie is not going to be given fair representation at def jam. their top artists are mariah and janet. they will get more publicity than amerie and she will end up being pissed off then leaving. go independent girl.

Danity Kane is way too photoshopped. i can only recognize Dawn, D, and Aundrea.

I’ll be bumping DK all the time again…

God!! Jojo’s last album was great, I wanted her to release ‘This Time’ and ‘The Way U Do Me’ and really wanted to hear the best song on the album released ‘I’m Coming For U’ which was just my Jojo song of 07!!! Good times for you though, do well, and release these great songs you make!!!!

Amerie! Well, Lozin U, Gotta Work.. they were great songs!! Just release Lozin U, n forget Crush. Ur ace hunnnyyy, defo underated. It’s just because you havent slutted it about like most sexed up artists of the USA. .. though it sells. :P

Looking forward to Jojo’s new album, she needs to do R&B this time around. I love watching Danity Kane on MTB4. I hope their album is successful.

@ 111 no u your an idiot because one thing came out way after crazy n love dumb ass!!

and even if amerie did come out with the gogo sound first thats because rh is the fuckin producer, its not beyonce fault that she his style up and not her . amerie cannot deliver like beyonce and thats just to bad, she wants to do what she does but hey , she just aint got it. i wouldve dared wasting that hot ass track on amerie

114.

Ummmm yeah….i don’t think thats aubrey in the middle…maybe thats why the girls look uncomfortable…and maybe thats why some of you think she looks better.

115.

PROVOST...

Saturday, February 16, 2008 /

GotDAMN, they airbrushed Aubrey beyond recognition!!!!!!! If I had to pick a favorite out of this shot, it’d be Aundrea, but even that aint sayin much. They just haven’t been taught how to deliver in front of the camera. Having just completed work on a little amateur film (and pulling TEETH to get one ::ahem:: actress to give us what we needed), I can tell you this: it does NOT come naturally to everyone, lol!!

116.

yes suh!!!

Saturday, February 16, 2008 /

I am sick of that wack hairstyle that D woods is wearin’. come on you tried to start a fad, it didn’t pick up so drop that rat off your head. Now that needs to be posted as a “HOT A#$ MESS” on CL. Ugh!!!!

They did airbrush the hell out of Aubrey and Shannon. All of them look so ugly and fake accept for Andrea. She’s very pretty. I wish she would get a solo deal on another label. They are a wackass group and will only stick around until this MTB sh*t is over

JoJo, I think she’s a wack artist. I’m sorry, I really don’t like her music or style. It seems she tries to hard to be too grown and “urban.” I don’t even know why CL posted about her on this blog. When she turns 18 she’ll be like the rest of the young singers, using sex or seiness to sell along with her music.

I absolutely love Amerie and I’m mad that she hasn’t proven herself as an official artist. She’s unique, creative and talented. I want her to succeed so bad.

you sound too much like one of the DK chicks@72. Nobody talks like that!!! “THEY ALWAYS BRING FIRE AND THEY HAVE AMAZING TALENTS” let’s be honest. Which one of you is it. To be honest, I never really had much to say about the group until MTB4 aired and showed just how conceited and egotistical Aubrey really is. Congratulations on going platinum but there is never a need to show your classless side and especially on natianal television. All the other girls took it in stride but Aubrey got real cocky about it and she can’t even sing. We all know she got in the group for her dancing skills. As far as the cover goes, I can’t tell which is Aubrey and which is Shannon because of all the makeup and unnecessary airbrushing they did. Shannon is beautiful so she doesn’t need all that extra hair and crap they put on her. That is all!!

PLEASE GIVE KEISHA MY EMAIL ADDRESS, SHE NEEDS A STYLIST BADLY!! SHE NEEDS TO ATTEND A CHARM SCHOOL TO BUILD SOME CLASS UP IN HER. PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP THIS GIRL GET HER WARDROBE TOGETHER, NOW THAT SHE IS IN THE PUBLIC EYES SHE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO PUT HER OUTFITS TOGETHER A WHOLE LOT BETTER THEN WHAT SHE DOES. SHE LOOKS A HOT MESS EVERYTIME I SEE HER. LET HER KNOW THAT IN THE “08″ SHE NEEDS TO LEAVE THOSE WHITE T’S/WIFE BEATERS ALONE. MAYBE THAT’S WHY JEEZY WON’T HAVE HER FOR HIS WOMAN, SHE LOOKS LIKE A HOT MESS.
