Jay-Z may have alluded to MTV about a possible Watch the Throne follow-up due this year, but so far no official announcement have been made.

Until then, Jay-Z and Kanye West have announced the first round of dates on the European leg of their Watch the Throne tour - not a bad consolation. The 12-show run kicks off May 20 in London and runs through Scandinavia, Germany, and France, ending on June 13. Expect more shows to be announced.

No updates yet on Jay-Z's follow-up to his last solo release, 2009's The Blueprint 3. So far the rapper has confirmed that he has recorded two tracks for his 12th solo album and has potential ideas for four more tracks. […] Read more »

The rock group, The Pretty Reckless, have released a new music video in promotion of their track entitled ‘You’, as confirmed by Perez Hilton.  The single is their fourth track to be released from their debut album ‘Light Me Up’ that was released last year.  The mostly black and white video features lead singer and former Gossip Girls actress Taylor Momsen as she strums her guitar looking defeated after a break up of some sort.

But amazingly calm for the singer who recently spoke out about her penchant for super funky, stripper heels, that seems to be a staple in her on stage wardrobe. […] Read more »

Last night, a clip surfaced of Madonna’s “Girls Gone Wild,” a track produced by Benny and Ale Benassi. Through Twitter, manager Guy Oseary announced the song is the second single from MDNA, and a video shoot for it starts soon. He wrote: "The directors for 'Girls Gone Wild' video are Mert and Marcus... They also photographed MDNA album... "

Although “Girls Gone Wild” has no official release date, the lack of success “Give Me All Your Luvin’” had in the U.K. is said to be behind the quick push for a second single. “Give Me All Your Luvin’”, just weeks after Madonna’s Super Bowl performance, peaked at No. 10 in the U.S. and No. 37 on the U.K. charts. At one point, “Girls Gone Wild” was rumored to feature Britney Spears.[…] Read more »

Antony Bitar has just released the music video for "Sanctuary", a track from his self-titled debut album. Having walked away from his opera training, Antony now devotes all his time to song writing in his effort to make the world a better place. In his words, according to his website, "I'm being serious when I say...I hope to change the world with my music."

The video begins with a scene of rocks being submerged by the ocean as ripples flow over a small boulder. The view widens to show Antony sitting in a peaceful seascape setting singing the introduction to the song. Another view shows the hands of a pianist nearby as he plays the melody. Next scene shows Antony, in a reflective pose, sitting at a window ledge inside a city building. […] Read more »

Last week, news surfaced of Chris Brown possibly collaborating on a new Rihanna track, “Birthday Cake.” Although no one said the news outright, remix producers Da Internz hinted at it. In describing the extended version of “Birthday Cake” (the original is a mere 78 seconds), the duo mentioned a “shocking” surprise guest, which many surmised to be Brown, although neither he nor Rihanna officially confirmed it.

MissInfo.tv went a bit further, getting confirmation from two independent sources. At the time, Brown was reported to be singing one verse and rapping another on the “Birthday Cake” remix. After the news broke, Rihanna allegedly shelved the track – contrary to Da Internz stating “Birthday Cake” would appear this week.[…] Read more »
