Music, New Album | featured news

New Kids on the Block hit a bump during one of their first concerts to promote their new album Thursday. The ’90s band, who released their new album “10″ this week, rocked the house at New York City’s iHeartRadio Theater Thursday night but in the middle of the concert, band member Jonathan Knight left the stage midsong, reported Hollywood Life.

The rapper says he is "100%" now, but he also reveals some "bad news." Lil Wayne gets help from 2 Chainz, Drake, Big Sean and Nicki Minaj on his new album.

Justin Timberlake's "20/20 Experience" will be a dual one. During a party Monday night to celebrate his new disc, Timberlake told Ryan Seacrest the release of this comeback album, "The 20/20 Experience," which drops today, is only the first half of the experience. The 32-year-old, six-time Grammy winner told Seacrest he will release a second album with 10 tracks later this year.

The wait is over. Justin Timberlake's new album, The 20/20 Experience is available on iTunes in its entirety for free streaming. 

The cover photo of a gorilla locked in a tender embrace with a jukebox, looking as if he wants nothing more than to buy it a glass of pinot and take it to an early showing of “Les Miz,” should be a dead giveaway: “Unorthodox Jukebox,” his impeccably made and compulsively listenable sophomore release, is not your mother’s Bruno Mars album.

Miley Cyrus is working hard to finish her new album so she can take some time off to enjoy being engaged. The 19-year-old entertainer plans to marry "Hunger Games" star Liam Hemsworth. They announced their engagement in June but haven't revealed their wedding date.

“Psychedelic Pill” by Neil Young and Crazy Horse is a long reflection on personal memories, mortality, friendship, love, metaphysics and the mediocre sound of mp3s.

Taylor Swift announced during a live YouTube chat that she will release her next album, “Red,” on Oct. 22. Of the emotions expressed on the album, she said: “They’re all pretty much about the kind of tumultuous, crazy, insane, intense, semi-toxic relationships that I’ve experienced in the last two years,” adding that there’s “nothing beige” about any of the emotions expressed in her new music. She also shared the first single, called, as you probably already guessed, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”

It was a little over two years ago that John Mayer soaked his career in kerosene and lit a match, sitting for a Playboy interview in which he compared a certain part of his anatomy to David Duke, and gratuitously overshared about his relationships with ex-girlfriends Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson. It was one of pop history’s most spectacular (and purposeful? Freud would say yes) acts of self-sabotage.

Carrie Underwood promised that her fourth album, “Blown Away,” would be “darker” than the country-pop sun rays she’s been known to radiate. False alarm. This is merely a trans-faux-mation — that thing pop stars do when they dabble in minor-key melodies, frowny lyrics and/or smoky eye shadow, hoping their listeners will mistake a superficial shift in tone for a meaningful artistic left turn.
