In a World Like This

0 Comments

The band releases their single, In a World Like This, from their album with the same name. McLean:

I think In a World Like This, both in a pop world that we’ve been living in for the past 20 years, and just the world that we live in with all the different things, positive things [and] negative things going on in this entire world. We’re still here 20 years later, living in this world that we’ve created. And I think it’s positive actually. It does kind of sound a little dark, but I think it’s positive.

See You Again

0 Comments

Underwood releases the official video for the single from her album, Blown Away. The song first debuted on American Idol earlier this month.

See You Again was actually written for Chronicles of Narnia. When they asked me if I would be interested in writing for the movie, I got a couple of writer friends together, Hillary Lindsey and David Hodges. And we just wanted to see what we could come up with. It could have been something awesome, or it could have been nothing. We wrote three amazing songs in those four days that we spent writing.

We Can’t Stop

0 Comments

Cyrus releases the single, We Can’t Stop, from her album, Bangerz.

I have an accent! So when I say ‘Miley,’ it must sound like Molly. You’re not allowed to say Molly on the radio, so it obviously says Miley. I knew people were gonna wonder what I’m saying in that song.

People refer to [cocaine] as ‘Miley Cyrus’. My name is used in hip-hop songs to mean that, so even if I’m saying ‘Miley,’ people could still find something wrong with it.

Happy

0 Comments

Williams releases, Happy, from his album, G I R L. Williams talks about his No.1 song:

It’s been amazing, because I know that it’s not my doing. Yes, I’m the author of the song, but the people are the author of all the success. When you say the words “big,” “huge,” and “successful,” what you’re really referring to is how the public reacted to something. Every time someone votes or requests or downloads, they’re contributing to the movement that Happy has become. They’ve pushed it to number one. The only thing I could do is make a song. But how many great songs are written every day? They’re not all promised this type of reaction. When you’re young and you’re doing it, you think it’s you, but when you‘ve been doing it as long as I have, you realize it can be great but there are sliding factors that move like plate tectonics. You’ll see them time and time again when you thought something was going to blow but it didn’t for whatever reason. I’m just really happy that the universe has conspired to give us this kind of moment and I intend to continue to be loyal to it. Just like Happy is not preachy, it’s just the information is there should you want it; that’s how I intend to do my music.

Little Bit Of Everything

0 Comments

Urban releases his single, Little Bit Of Everything,  from his album, Fuse. Urban:

Little Bit Of Everything conveys a sentiment that’s always felt right to me. I connected with that from the first time I heard it. I ‘felt it’ and I loved it.
I gravitate towards the sound of a song and its instrumentation. On this song I was able to take the elements of sound that I’ve used before and blend them together into a fusion of spirit and energy.

Maroon 5 releases the single, Love Somebody, from their album, Overexposed. Adam Levine:

We could never put out a Maroon 5 record without the love songs as that’s why we connect so well with our fans. We have fun, yes, but we speak about things we’ve all been through at some time.

Tears Always Win

0 Comments

The artist releases her single, Tears Always Win, from her album, Girl On Fire.

Tears Always Win is really about a relationship that’s over and you’re remembering all the times that it was there. You’re remembering all the ways they filled your space and now that it’s not there. You’re telling yourself you don’t need them, but you’re missing them and you’re crying about it.

Boys Round’ Here

Shelton teams up with the Pistol Annies and the Voice star, RaeLynn, for the single.  Blake raps in the song, Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit. The singer claims although in real life he has never chewed tobacco, there is another product he used to chomp:

Back in the day, remember when they used to make – and they probably still do – beef jerky that’s shredded and they put it in the cans for kids to act like they’re dipping.I wore some of that out back in the day, especially in elementary school… Then I did a little Big League Chew. Still do some of that every now and then.

Crash My Party

0 Comments

The artist releases his single, Crash My Party, from his album with the same name.

It’s actually a love song about a guy telling a girl that, ‘Hey-no matter what I’m doing, anytime, I could be at a bar, I could be at a big show, and you can text me or call me, and I’m dropping my party and we’re getting together.’ I think it’s a cool way to tell a girl, ‘Hey, I’m diggin’ ya.

Blurred Lines

Thicke releases the single, Blurred Lines, featuring Pharrell WilliamsThicke:

Pharrell and I were in the studio making a couple records, and then on the third day, I told him I wanted to do something kinda like Marvin Gaye’s Got To Give It Up, that kind of feel ’cause it’s one of my favorite songs of all time. So he started messing with some drums and then he started going ‘Hey, Hey, Hey’ and about an hour and a half later we had the whole record finished.

1994

The artist releases 1994, from his album, Night Train.

I was a junior in high school in ’94, and Joe Diffie was huge. I remember I went to the Cherry Blossom Street Party in Macon [Ga.], with Kenny Chesney on one stage and Joe Diffie on the other stage, and there was 5,000 people watching Joe Diffie and about 500 watching Kenny Chesney.

DONE.

0 Comments

The group releases their single, DONE., from their album, Pioneer. Perry:

DONE. is a song that Reid and I wrote about a relationship where one person is giving all they have into it, and the other person is just taking it all in. I know the three of us have definitely had those kinds of relationships, where the person who keeps giving is just done with it. They’re not getting anything out of it, so they just cut it loose.

What About Now

0 Comments

The band releases their song, What About Now,  from the album with the same name. Bon Jovi:

It has a strong social overview. We were heading into the end of [President Barack] Obama’s first term, and America was in recovery but still teetering. Europe was teetering, too; austerity plans were or weren’t going to take effect. So it’s sort of a snapshot of that period, though I hope it will also be timeless.
