Nora Jones Works With Danger Mouse on New Album

Norah Jones has teamed up with super-producer Danger Mouse for her next album, “Little Broken Hearts,” the singer-songwriter’s fifth full-length, which will be released this spring on Blue Note/EMI.

Jones and Danger Mouse (real name Brian Burton) recorded the album at Burton’s Los Angeles studio last fall after Jones contributed vocals to Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi’s “Rome” project last year. “Little Broken Hearts” was entirely produced by Danger Mouse and co-written by Jones and Danger Mouse, and the pair also handled the majority of the instrumentals.

According to a press release, Jones plans to tour “extensively” in 2012, and the singer-songwriter has already announced a pair of dates: June 29 at the Kodak Hall at Eastman Theater in Rochester, N.Y., and Aug. 10 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Jones’ last full tour came in 2010, when she supported “The Fall” with a 74-date world trek.

Paris Hilton Works With Afrojack, LMFAO on New Album

Paris Hilton is hooking up with club-music producer extraordinaire Afrojack for her next record and is close to getting it done.

“I’ve been in the studio all day recording my new album. It’s completely different from my last album. I’m going with a whole new genre. I have Afrojack executive-producing the entire album. So we’ve just been coming up with the most incredible tracks,” she teased. “I was just in the studio with RedFoo the other night, so we’re going to be doing my new single with LMFAO.”

Given how ubiquitous LMFAO is these days, a Paris/LMFAO track could be the perfect combination to reintroduce the world to Paris Hilton, pop star. “I’m so excited. The music’s turning out so great and I can’t wait to release it this summer. Two nights ago [I recorded the song with LMFAO],” she said, describing the session as “awesome.” “I’ve known them since I was a little girl. We grew up together ’cause our parents are friends, so I’m just so proud of them and all their success and what they’ve done ’cause they’ve just created this whole ‘Party Rock’ brand and it’s just so awesome.”

Noting that she grew up singing in the choir and can also play violin, piano and guitar, Paris defends her choice to record another album. “I think a lot of people don’t know that music is my passion since I was a little girl,” she said. “I’m very musically talented. This is more my thing [musically on this album], more of a club scene, more dance. … The single’s done; it’s in the can. That’s probably going to be out [within] the next month or two.”

Hilton isn’t just singing for her new record — she’ll also be trying her hand at singing on the big screen when she works with “Repo! The Genetic Opera” director Darren Bousman on his next project. “I’m about to do a film with my friend Darren Bousman. He has a new musical that’s coming up called ‘The Devil’s Carnival,’ ” she said. “It’s about Hell, it’s a musical and it’s different.”

T.I. Claims New Songs Could “Get Me in Trouble”

Immediately after his prison release, rapper T.I. already began work on his new album, claiming that he had 50 new songs recorded for the album in a matter of weeks.

“My life inspires my lyrics at all times, so at that moment in time, when I first came home, I have about 15 songs just totally focusing on that,” T.I. said. “Out of those 15, I probably picked the two or three most significant, most compelling, impactful ones, and after I’ve been out for a minute, then I’ve got records totally focusing on speaking to people who can only focus on that and telling them I’m ready to move on.”

The title of T.I.’s latest project is inspired by a 1972 Marvin Gaye song. “The name of the album is Trouble Man, and every song on here is about things that can get me in trouble,” he explained. “I’m reminiscing on the days when I used to run wild and do my thing the way I used to do it. I’ve got records that are just totally intellectually ignorant.”

During his time behind bars, T.I. dropped his seventh album, No Mercy, and although it debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart, the Rubberband Man plans to top that effort without breaking a sweat. “I was able to release a project that did well considering the circumstances, but I wasn’t able to put my all into it, which made it only a fraction of my usual contribution to the game,” he said.

So far, T.I. has released three singles from Trouble Man: “I’m Flexin’ ” featuring Big K.R.I.T. was the first to debut, followed by “Here Ye, Here Ye” featuring Pharrell Williams and his latest, “Pyro.”

Rihanna Expects New Album to “Change Music”

Rihanna had great success with Grammy-nominated Loud, and is looking to change music with her sixth full-length album, Talk That Talk.

Def Jam’s VP of A&R, Bu Thiam, talked about how the next album with Rihanna needs to do no less than “change music.”

“My job as an A&R is to always bring her different records that are hit records but doesn’t sound like anything she’s done in the past,” Thiam said. “Her whole thing is, ‘How can we be different? How can we change music? How can we go from having a great album like Loud and still come with a better album and keep pushing and keep hitting the bar?’ The good thing about Rihanna,” he said, “is that she doesn’t want to be in the same realm as anybody else. She wants to be in a zone where when you think of Rihanna, you think of new, you think of different.”

“Different” meant bringing well-known DJ Calvin Harris into the creative process. Producer Harris collaborated with the singer on her tracks, “Where Have You Been” and “We Found Love,” giving Rihanna the 11th #1 single of her career.

The growing popularity of DJ culture in pop music helped get Harris involved with the album, but the Rihanna’s desire to create a new sound was ultimately what made it happen. “It’s a different sound and that’s what she wanted to go with,” Thiam said. “She wanted to change music. I have to salute her for taking a chance ’cause most artists wouldn’t have done that.”

Justin Bieber Grows Up and Wants Adult Approach on Next Album

For his upcoming albums, Justin Bieber has said he wants his career to move in the similar direction that Justin Timberlake took after he broke away from *N Sync. As did Timberlake, Bieber wants to take a more adult approach for his future projects.

Bieber’s longtime vocal producer, Kuk Harrell, says, “It’s really important that it’s the proper transition because (…) now we’re watching him grow up,” said Harrell, who also worked with Rihanna on her latest album. “We can’t just throw him into the adult game right away. It has to be the proper transition. There’s a record in between.” Harrell continues, “That’s why I think this Christmas album was really important, because it gave everybody the opportunity to hear him, see him and get used to his voice changing,” he said. “When his proper album comes out, everybody’s going to really be looking at [him vocally].”

With the fine details of his next album being kept quiet, Bieber will release his video for “All I Want for Christmas,” co-starring Mariah Carey, on Wednesday.

Producer Bangladesh Says Rihanna’s “Cockiness” is Perfect For Her

Pop superstar Rihanna’s latest album Talk That Talk is unquestionably packed with overtly sex-ridden tracks, but the super sexed-up “Cockiness (Love It)” takes the cake.

On “Cockiness,” Rihanna is unabashedly vocal about expressing enjoying the way in which her man loves her. The song’s producer, Bangladesh, claims that after the song developed the tomboy swagger and strong sexual innuendo, Rihanna was the obvious choice to record the track. Bangladesh says, “I was like, ‘That’s dope. That’s Rihanna all day.’ They sent the song back, and I finished producing it. … She loved it, and that’s what it was.”

Bangladesh joins a who’s who of A-list producers on the album, including vocal producer Kuk Harrell, The-Dream, StarGate, Calvin Harris and Dr. Luke, who produced the album’s second single, “You Da One.”

The song, “Cockiness” is one of many on Rihanna’s newest album that carries a strong sexual subject. The singer revealed on Twitter that she’s already hard at work on the video for “You Da One.”

Tricky Stewart Dishes On Christina Aguilera’s New Album

Producer Tricky Stewart recently shared some inside information with Vibe magazine on what it’s been like working with Christina Aguilera on her upcoming album.

When asked about his approach to working with the superstar, Tricky says, “With Christina it’s a little different, because Christina wants music that you haven’t heard before. She did things that she’s never necessarily heard on the radio. She doesn’t want a record that sounds like anything else so you’re trying to create an entirely new sound for an artist. The three tracks that I did, they’re all uptempo tracks so we definitely kind of get the club moving but it’s just a matter of her doing different styles and using her voice in different ways.”

In addition to Tricky Stewart, Aguilera has reportedly been working with Sia, Le Tigre, Flo-Rida, Diplo & Switch, Linda Perry, Claude Kelly, Santigold, M.I.A, and many more.

New Video: Rihanna ‘Wait Your Turn’

Rihanna released her first music video for ‘Wait Your Turn’ off of her upcoming album Rated R. Rihanna’s first single ‘Russian Roulette’ failed to spark any interest with fans and her label quickly released ‘Wait Your Turn’, which seems to be suffering the same fate. There’s so much hype surrounding Rihanna’s latest project, but it seems there’s nothing to back it up.

The video for ‘Wait Your Turn’ is extremely self-indulgent and boring. With such a lackluster song, Rihanna’s self-indulgence is a joke.
