With the release of a new album approaching, Kanye West is making sure he’s up to date with the social networking sites.

He joined Twitter on Wednesday, one day after going to the offices of Facebook, in Palo Alto, Calif., to preview some of his new material. He already has over 220,000 followers but he himself is not following anyone.

Videos of him rapping a cappella while standing on a conference table have been posted on YouTube. On his website afterward, West posted a letter to Facebook, thanking the staff for their support: “Your energy was a gift so electric, so genuine, that it really helped me give my best.”

The “Love Lockdown” star has already disseminated new information on his upcoming projects via the service. West tweeted that his upcoming fifth studio album is no longer called “Good A–Job” and that he’s “bouncing a couple titles around now.” West’s new as-of-yet untitled album is expected to be released Sept. 14.

Swedish Pop Star Robyn, just released the music video for her lead single, “Hang With Me” from Body Talk Pt.2.

Robyn is always entertaining and in this music video she gives us a glimpse into her world and she shows us what it would be like to hang with her.

Making the video’s presence more appreciated is that it’s also an expertly pulled off tour-life montage: a scrappy, charming hodgepodge of bus, show, fans, studio, hotel hallways, photo shoots, day-off roller-coaster rides, makeup applications, and loads of Robyn’s wry smiles.

Robyn is currently touring around the world. Check out the music video below!

Great work Robyn, as usual!

He may have been voted off American Idol this past season, but that hasn’t stopped Alex Lambert’s determination to make it in the music business. Shortly after being eliminated from Idol, Alex moved into the If I Can Dream house and just released the music video for ‘I didn’t Know’.

British pop star Natasha Bedingfield has premiered the official music video for her new single “Touch”. The clip was directed by Rich Lee (Eminem “Not Afraid”, Fergie “Clumsy”, Black Eyed Peas “Imma Be/Rock That Body”), although “Touch” isn’t very similar to his other pieces of work.

Although Natasha is huge in the U.K. she is one of the few British artists to actually have done well in the American market, racking up huge hits stateside like “Unwritten”, “Pocketful of Sunshine” and “Love Like This.”

The song still hasn’t charted despite being out since May, and has already received some heavy promotion with performances on Ellen and So You Think You Can Dance. Her new album Strip Me will be released towards the end of the year.

Legacy Recordings, in cooperation with Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. and Viva ELVIS by Cirque du Soleil at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, proudly announces the release of Viva ELVIS – The Album, a 21st century celebration of Elvis and his music, featuring the voice of the King in a whole new context. Viva ELVIS – The Album will be available everywhere this November. For more information, visit www.vivaelvis.com.

The undisputed King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Elvis Presley remains one of the most iconic and powerful forces in popular culture. “Before Elvis,” said John Lennon, “there was nothing.”

“Viva ELVIS is a tantalizing musical experience,” said Adam Block, Senior Vice President/General Manager, Legacy Recordings. “It’s so creative and so contemporary, it effortlessly places Elvis in a current context that appeals to fans of all ages and all kinds of music. There’s a freshness, a newness to these songs that grabs you and shakes you and ultimately testifies to the remarkable artist Elvis remains to this very day.”
“What would the songs of Elvis be like if he were doing them for the first time today?” asks the album’s producer and arranger Erich van Tourneau, Musical Director and Arranger for Viva ELVIS by Cirque du Soleil. “We set out to evoke the soul and spirit of Elvis Presley while building a bridge between his music and future generations of fans.”

90s power pop group Ace of Base may have called it quits in 2003, but that shouldn’t stop a few members of the band from continuing the group’s legacy here in the 2010s. The male members of the group, Jonas Berggren and Ulf Ekberg, brought on two new, incredibly younger female singers to replace original vocalists Malin and Jenny Berggren, and the band’s first album in eight years is due to drop later this year.

We posted a little snippet of new Ace of Base single ‘All For You‘ last week, and now the full track can be heard online.

Superstar Scottish singer Susan Boyle is set to record a Christmas album that would be released in October.

Her Debut album, I Dreamed A Dream has sold an outstanding 9 million copies and her Christmas album could be just as big of a hit.

Although Susan has not confirmed this news herself, Billboard are citing “retail sources” as confirming a Susie Christmas record due this October. Retail and industry sales executives are all predicting Taylor Swift’s third album Speak Now to be the years biggest seller, but they’re also expecting big numbers for Susie, while one merchant has gone as far as to bet that Susie’s Christmas album will be the “must have” album of the gift-giving season.

Diva Mariah Carey will probably be pissed at Susan Boyle because Mariah wanted to release another Christmas album this year and we all know it won’t be as big as Susan’s!
