Superstar Songstress "Alicia Keys" Returns To The Music Scene With Her Third Studio Album "As I Am".

After the first single from the album; "No One" received such a huge reception, the release date for the As I Am has been confirmed on 3rd of November. I am loving As I Am at the moment, I have only been hearing good things about it & the album as a whole.

The record will feature confirmed contributions from; "John Mayer", "Linda Perry" & "Timbaland", & promises to be as big as her previous albums. After her show stopping performance at the "VMAs" last Sunday, it seems that the impossible has happened, Ms Keys has managed to improve her vocal ability even further.

Alicia has such power & energy in her voice that is electrifying, I cannot see her ever failing musically & she will be around for a long time to come. I cannot wait to hear the album & have had it on pre-order for a long time.

Are You Going To Grab A Copy Of "As I Am"
Let Me Know?

"Song's About Girls" Is The Third Studio Album From Super Producer "Will.i.am".

The artwork is a bit 'meh' if you know what I mean, Will is obviously a very creative guy & I was just expecting something a little cooler. The album promises to be good, with some hot collaborations expected from the likes of; "Slick Rick", "Busta Rhymes" & "Ludacris" to name a few.

Although "I Got It From My Mama" is a little plain, I'm hoping that the album tracks will be a lot more inventive, even if they don't make it to be singles. The album is set for release on September 25th, I will definitely be grabbing a copy. Check Out The Track Listings, Album Cover & Preview Clips Of Some Of The Tracks Premiered During An Interview With Will Below.

After Listening To Timbaland's Current Smash Hit Album "Shock Value" Over & Over Again, I Have Been Looking Into "Keri Hilson".

Keri is featured on 3 tracks (4 including the UK bonus tracks), & her vocal ability is hugely apparent, she has also written tracks for Timbo, aswell as many other well known artists. In that respect she is already a hit maker.

Most people will know her from the huge "Xzibit" hit "Hey Now", which was produced by "Timbaland", in which she sung the rhythmic chorus.

She has a planned album release for 2007, official release date unknown, which will be her debut. It will be titled "In A Perfect World" & will apparently feature among others, "Snoop Dogg" & "The Game", it will also have a huge production team, including Timbo & one of my favourite new producers "Bangladesh".

I can't wait to hear it, I think Timbo has done extremely well for her so far & I hope he continues to support her through "Mosley Music". In my predictions, her material is going to be hot, & hopefully she will become a huge star.
