Jessie James Brings the Heat on Single “Boys in the Summer”

MichelleOK — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 22:25:24 +0000

Why should California Gurls have all the fun? Jessie James carries the torch for southern pop, as the 22-year-old Georgia girl comes with the heat on “Boys in the Summer,” the first single from her sophomore Mercury Records album.

Co-written by Jessie with James Michael (Motley Crue, Papa Roach, Alanis Morissette), and opening with some bluesy rock guitar riffs right out of ZZ Top, “Boys in the Summer” imagines it’s “hot as hell, even in the shade,” while squeezing out a little bit of lemonade, standing on line at the Dairy Queen or laying on the hood of your car.

Jessie explains the simple message behind the sassy lyrics: “It was inspired by an ex-boyfriend who I wasn’t really attracted to until the summer,” she laughs. “That’s when he had a tan and a little bit more muscle from being in the sun.” A perfect summer party jam, the single impacts at Top 40 radio on July 12th, at pop and country radio on July 13th, and at Hot AC on July 19th.

“Boys in the Summer” is on sale now at digital retailers including iTunes and its sure to be the #1 summer jam of every red state and at least a few blue ones too. Pour a glass of lemonade and check out the video for the sizzling hit below!

Meet Costa Rican Superstar Debi Nova

JamieAwesome — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 19:06:42 +0000

Already a massive star in her native Costa Rica, with six Grammy Award nominations and a number one dance single under her belt, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Debi Nova is ready to make her mark on the rest of the world. In March 2010, Decca Records will release Nova’s genre-defying, debut album Luna Nueva. The album is an electrifying combination of irresistible Latin rhythms and potent pop smarts that showcase this vivacious artist’s considerable musical gifts (she plays piano, guitar, bass and more) as well as her rich Latina heritage. Produced by multi-Grammy nominated Marius de Vries (Madonna, Josh Groban) and Gustavo Santaolalla (”Brokeback Mountain,” “Babel”), Luna Nueva is a labor of love, long in the making, which not only showcases Nova’s electrifying vocals and musicianship, but her songwriting talents as well. The first single is the playful soca/hip-hop inspired “Drummer Boy.”

Debi has toured with both Ricky Martin and Sergio Mendes as a featured vocalist and has performed for more than 8 million people globally. As a songwriter, the Costa Rican beauty has written hit songs for Belinda and RBD, two of Latin Americas biggest artists.

Learn more about Debi’s process of recording an album in both English and Spanish in her EPK below and experience her sound first hand on “Drummer Boy!”

J.Lo Is Fresh Out The Oven

Jennifer Lopez sexes it up in her new video for “Fresh Out The Oven” featuring Pitbull. Mrs. Marc Anthony sports a much lighter do and some curve hugging apparel. We’re not really feeling the song, and aren’t the close-ups on her red lips a little too similar to Leighton Meester’s video for “Somebody To Love?” We’re just saying…

Lifehouse’s New Single Halfway Gone

JamieAwesome — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:54:35 +0000

Lifehouse has announced the release of their fifth studio album Smoke & Mirrors! The new album is due out on December 8th and features the super-catchy single “Halfway Gone.” We are loving it. Fun fact – the song was co-written by Kevin Rudolf (”Let It Rock”).

Smoke & Mirrors showcases two sides of Lifehouse – songs like “Smoke & Mirrors,” “Wrecking Ball” and “Had Enough” (with guest vocals by Chris Daughtry) have a raw and stage driven feel to them capturing the live, rock side of the band; a sound they had perfected after 10 years of solid touring. While tracks like “All In,” “Here Tomorrow Gone Today” and the first single “Halfway Gone” are songs sure to be heard on radio for years to come.

Listen to the track below and let us know what you think.
