and what a month it is turning out to be...
the biggest news (arguably) would be Britney's breakout single, GIMME MORE, which in my opinion is much more raw and edgy (it begins with "it's britney, bitch") than her previous offerings, and i'm excited to hear what her album will sound like...
she's has also leaked a second single, COLD AS FIRE, which is slightly worse, but she's certainly workin' the literary play on words in the title, no?
speaking of leaking, 50 cent's CURTIS, due for release on 9/11, is out for all to listen to, though this is no surprise, considering how i managed to get all 3 of the planned-to-be-released singles 2 weeks ago... (Ayo Technology trumps I Get Money, featured on SYTYCD 3, and Follow My Lead)
but the more anticipated release on the same date is Kanye West's GRADUATION, with lead single STRONGER, already topping the iTunes charts for a week...
2 releases later in the year to look out for are Carrie Underwood's sophomore album, CARNIVAL RIDE, featuring lead single SO SMALL (which i cannot find) in october, and Ashlee Simpson's second album that has no title yet, but is due in november...
have fun sampling!
legendary,
John
