Out this week!

This week sees the release of a few major albums, so I thought I'd highlight a few of them.


Kelis will release her fifth studio album, "Fleshtones" this week. The album is preceded by the singles, "Acapella" and "Fourth of July" and sees Kelis jumping on the dance trend. It features production from David Guetta, Benny Banassi, will.i.am and DJ Ammo (Ke$ha, Jordan Sparks) who all help bring the dance element to the album. So far, the first single "Acapella" has done relatively well on the charts, and has topped the US Hot Dance Club Songs.


Australian singing sensation Kylie Minogue releases her eleventh studio album, "Aphrodite" this week. The album is already being praised as one of her best and the first single, "All The Lovers" is certainly making its mark in my iTunes library. Stuart Price (Scissor Sisters, Seal, Madonna) acts as executive producer for the album and brings electronic and dance elements to the album which should have Kylie's fans dancing into all hours of the night.


Super-producer The-Dream will release his third studio album, "Love King" this week as well. The album is preceded by the singles, "Love King" and "Make Up Bag" feat. T.I. both of which are making a mark on the urban charts. As always, the album features production exclusively from The Dream with T.I. being the only featured performer.

Will you be picking up any of this week's album releases?

Ciara Readies New Album!

In news that comes as a bit of a shock to me, Ciara is said to be readying a new album. The album would serve as a followup to this year's flop, "Fantasy Ride" and is said to only feature production from The Dream and Tricky Stewart (see Mariah Carey's "Memoirs"). Tricky Stewart also revealed that two songs, "Speechless" feat. The Dream and "Gifted" are his favourites out of the 14 songs recorded so far.

While this must come as exciting news for Ciara fans, I really can't say I'm looking forward to anything new from her at the moment. "Fantasy Ride" was a total mess and she really needs to step up her game in the vocals department if she wants to continue competing with her peers. Are you looking forward to another release from Ciara early next year?
