What It Feels Like for a Girl

Madonna0 Comments

The artist releases her song, What It Feels Like for a Girl, from Music.

Our generation certainly has been encouraged to grab life by the balls, be super-independent, get a great education, follow our dreams, kick ass, all that stuff, and I feel like I work up one day holding the golden ring and realized that smart, sassy girls who accomplish a lot and have their own cash and are independent are really frightening to men. I felt like, ‘Why didn’t somebody tell me? Why didn’t somebody warn me?’ And that’s also what that song is about – swallowing that bitter pill. It was a combination of that, and also just feeling incredibly vulnerable that inspired the song.

We Need a Resolution

Aaliyah Haughton0 Comments

We Need a Resolution, directed by Paul Hunter is released as the lead single from Aaliyah’s third self titled album Aaliyah.

I first dealt with snakes when I was in Australia and I did the photo shoot for the album. We used five pythons in the shoot. At first, I was a little nervous, but once I started to handle them, I totally fell in love and felt an affinity toward them.

Fallin’

Alicia Keys0 Comments

The artist releases her single, Fallin’, from her album, Songs In A Minor.

There were so many people who didn’t believe in it, because it went so much against the state of radio at the time. And just the journey of writing it – about how when you love someone but you’re in and out, the struggle… When I sing it, I remember the years and years it took to get to a place where people would hear it, and I’m just so grateful.

AerosmithSteven Tyler0 Comments

The band releases their song, Jaded, from their album, Just Push Play. Tyler:

When I hit on the melody for Jaded, it was so phenomenal that for a while I was scared to do anything more with it. I didn’t even tell the band.

Don’t Tell Me

Madonna0 Comments

The artist releases her song, Don’t Tell Me, from the album, Music. 

To me it is a romantic song. Just, you know, rip my skin off, do not tell me who I should love, or how I should love. Don’t tell me to give up. To me, in a way it’s like that Frank Sinatra song, ‘If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere’.
