Electrik Red is on their third single, “So Good,” from their debut album, How to Be a Lady: Volume 1, which is entirely produced by Tricky Stewart and The Dream. The Def Jam girl group didn’t have much luck with their first single, “Drink In My Cup,” which has remained slightly under the radar and have barely given any promotion (not even iTunes) to their second single, “Friend Lover,” which they’ve actually shot a video for.
The new single, “So Good” is like a mash-up between Prince’s girl group, Vanity 6 and Rick James’s Mary Jane Girls. Seems like all of the songs that have a leaked from the girls’ album sounds like something that The Dream could have recorded from his first album, Love/Hate. Maybe “So Good” will get a little more media attention than the other singles have.

It seems as though fans won’t get the continues Carter albums like they thought they would from Lil’ Wayne. The critically acclaimed and fan-favorite Tha Carter III only came out last year, and is still pushing out singles (“Mrs. Officer” still gets heavy radio spins and club play), and he’s on his huge national I Am Music tour, but he’s already gearing up for release of his next project, The Rebirth.
The New Orleans MC calls the album a “birth of a new beginning.”
“This is something brand new, so we don’t want it to be some experimental thing, ’cause some people are not gonna like this,” he told MTV News. [SOURCE]
The new LP is set to hit stores April 7th. But I’m not sure it’s what people are expecting. Wayne has been saying that he’s a rockstar, and with this new found style (Lil’ Wayne has been rocking a lot skinny jeans, fedoras, vests and flannels a la the newly popularized hipster scenes) and new piercings, I think he’s definitely channeling his inner Kurt Cobain. The new album is said to be an entirely rock album, where Mr. Carter will showcase his newly-found “guitar skills.”

In his first weekly address since being sworn in as the 44th president of the United States, President Barack Obama discusses how the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan will jump-start the economy.
“This is not just a short-term program to boost employment. It’s one that will invest in our most important priorities like energy and education; health care and a new infrastructure that are necessary to keep us strong and competitive in the 21st century,” he said.

Lil’ Wayne makes more and more steps towards becoming a more crossover artist. Although he’s done a pretty good job of doing that with his last album, Tha Carter III, Wayne goes for a more edgy, rock feel on his new single, “Prom Queen”. He garnered his first #1 single with the sing-songy “Lollipop,” and hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
