Jesse McCartney Back In The Studio For New Album

Jesse McCartney sat down with MTV to discuss his upcoming album. McCartney is heading back into the studio and says that he hopes to work with Ludacris again on the new album.

McCartney says –

“Yeah, I have some ideas in mind [in terms of collaborations], but those things always come together last-minute. We’re working on a few things,” he told MTV News. “I know that I might work with Ludacris again. That’s maybe a possibility, and he’s great — he’s one of my favorite rappers … and he’s amazing to work with.”

“It’s gonna be kind of a continuation of Departure, but maybe a little more R&B slightly. You’ll get the chance to hear what’s going on in my head right now and a little … more personal.”

“It’s a little bit more raw,” he explained. “But still rhythmic and upbeat. It’s still soulful. I’m still kind of writing it all out. I don’t want to give too much away.”

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.

Beyonce & Jay-Z Are The King And Queen Of MTV Europe Music Awards

Beyonce was a true triple threat at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Berlin, Germany on Thursday night – she picked up three prizes and led the honors haul.

The R&B superstar claimed trophies for Best Female, Best Song (“Halo”) and Best Video (“Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)”).

She paid tribute to her husband Jay-Z, who was also a big winner in the Best Urban Act category, when she won the Best Video award, thanking him for “putting a ring on it”.

And, unlike at the MTV Video Music Awards in America in September, there was no protest from Kanye West to taint her victory – the rapper stormed the stage at the VMAs, insisting Taylor Swift’s Best Female Video should have gone to Beyonce.

Alicia Keys Album Postponed

Alicia Keys announced the following on her official Twitter account:

“Luv having the freedom to create beautiful music, so I’m pushing the album back to DEC 15th. So many more amazing songs!!! Pls RT”

Rumor has it that her album was pushed back due to poor placement of her single ‘Doesn’t Mean Anything’.

Great collaboration with the best in Hip Hop, but Kanye still annoys me ever since the VMA incident with Taylor Swift.
