New Music From Beck & MIA

by Carmen Cruz

Two great tunes!
The first is from MIA and it's called 'Only 1 U'.


It's still not known if 'Only 1 U' will make its way onto MIA's new album 'Matangi'. The album is set for release this fall.


Here's a new one from Beck called 'I Won't Be Long'.


This is brand new, stand-alone single . It looks like Beck plans on releasing plenty of new material in the future (all singles), but he has no firm plans to make an actual full length album.

Enjoy.

New Album From Esthero + A Free Download

by Carmen Cruz

It's finally here!!!! It's been 7 looooong years since Esthero has released a full length album (the last one was 2005’s Wikked Lil’ Grrrls), and on Tuesday, Everything Is Expensive finally made it's full debut.

Here's an awesome article about the Canadian singer and her new album.

Here's the first single off the album. It's called 'Never Gonna Let You Go'.



This album is a solid mix of pop, trip-hop, and mellow stuff.

Speaking of mellow stuff, here's another tune off the new album. It's called 'Once'.



Like whatcha hear? You can download this track for free off Esthero's website.

What makes this album (and artist!) extra cool is the way you can purchase it. Esthero is using a 'Pledge Music' program, where you can pledge $10 for a digital download of the album, $25 for a signed CD, and then the pledge list goes KA-RAY-ZEE from there. For a $150 pledge, you can go for a hike in L.A's Griffith Park with Esthero (btw, that pledge option is now sold out!).
$500 = Korean BBQ date with Esthero in Hollywood
$800 = A private 2 hour karaoke booth party with the singer
$2000 = A lullaby sang to you, in person
$150,000 = Esthero will tattoo your initials on her ass. On - Her - ASS.

**fyi: 10% of all the money Esthero raises will be going to the charity of her choice. **

Dear GAD this woman is awesome. 

Want more info? Check out her Pledge Music Page.
Enjoy.

LADY GAGA & TONY BENNETT ~ WORKING ON A JAZZ ALBUM!

by Carmen Cruz

BELIEVE IT!

After collaborating on a track for Tony Bennett's 'Duet's II' album, Lady Gaga decided she wanted  more.

While on tour, Lady Gaga had her dad call Tony Bennett to ask if he was interested in working on a jazz album with the eccentric singer. Tony was all...'Heck Yeah!'
So the wheels are in motion, and for now, the tracklist is top secret.

If you've never heard Gaga sing jazz, you're in for a surprise. She's like a sassy, growly version of Ella Fitzgerald. She's so freaking cheeky, it's AWESOME! Here's a sample of what you can expect from the new collabo.
Love, love, love this on so many levels.



Can't wait!!!!            

Enjoy.
