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.

Featuring 20 recent major hits from the pop, hip-hop and crossover country charts, NOW That’s What I Call Music! Vol. 32 includes a pair of Billboard #1s, “I Gotta Feeling” by Black Eyed Peas and “Down” by Jay Sean featuring Lil Wayne.

For the first time, the NOW That’s What I Call Music! series is looking to the future by exposing the audience to a brand new track by an artist that may be destined for NOW compilations to come as part of their special bonus track feature, “What’s Next New Music Preview.” The first “What’s Next” bonus track included on NOW Vol. 32 is “Had It All,” the debut single from Katharine McPhee’s forthcoming album.

In true greatest hits fashion, there are two new songs on the album.  ”Alpha Dog” is from the Fall Out Boy mixtape released about a year ago for the promotion of their most recent full-length Folie a Deux. “Alpha Dog” is the record’s single and is going to radio October 26th. As far as the second song, Pete Wentz confirmed on Twitter that it will not be the other CFOB song “Lake Effect Kid” – it is a brand new, never heard song.

Included with the album is a DVD featuring all of the videos and a commentary about them from the whole band. (With a couple other surprises.)

Leading up to the announcement of Believers Never Die there was a stereotypical, Fall Out Boy, viral campaign.

More than likely, this is just the beginning, there is still a little more than a month before the release of the album, so who knows what Fall Out Boy has up their sleeves.

“I remember our first conversation was on the phone,” recalls Space Cowboy about his first chat with Lady Gaga. “She was talking about sequins, disco balls, Prince, David Bowie and body paint. Basically, she was speaking my language.”

Expounding on his unique combination of dance, hip hop, electro and rock, Space Cowboy has written all new songs as well as flipped a couple favorites from ‘Digital Rock’ – in some cases, with a little help from his friends. For example, the hybrid rock-club anthem “I Came 2 Party” features German electro-glam rockers Cinema Bizarre.

“I’ve always had a warped delivery, but it matches the idiosyncrasy of my beats.” Indeed, by harnessing the strange and wonderful, Space Cowboy has invented a new sound and made way for the first Digital Rock Star.  Listen (and download) the single “I Came To Party” featuring Cinema Bizarre here!

Multi-awarded Canadian-Portuguese singer songwriter, Nelly Furtado releases her fourth studio album and first completely done in Spanish, Mi Plan, which will be available worldwide on CD, Digital and Mobile formats.

“Manos Al Aire”, the first single off the album, continues to lead radio charts around the world. In the US, the song is NUMBER ONE for the THIRD CONSECUTIVE WEEK on Billboard’s  Hot Latin Songs chart, while continuing to dominate charts in Germany, Italy, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Spain and all of Central America.

Nelly Furtado has reached Platinum in 31 countries, and sold over 18 million copies of her past albums, “Whoa, Nelly”, “Folklore”, and “Loose”, and now has reinvented herself, while maintaining her musical trademark.  After 10 years of making albums in English, and having collaborated in Spanish with artists such as Juanes, Wisin & Yandel and Calle 13, Nelly has accomplished her dream of recording an entire album fully in Spanish.  This has been a natural step in her artistic evolution; Nelly does not consider Mi Plan a Latin album, but rather “music in Spanish for the world.”

Mi Plan is a collection of songs full of rhythm, feeling and sensations aimed to hit the heart and soul of her audience, despite language.  Also found on the album are amazing collaborations with top artists from diverse countries and musical genres: Josh Groban (“Silencio”), Alejandro Fernández (“Sueños”), Juan Luis Guerra (“Como Lluvia”), Julieta Venegas and La Mala Rodríguez (“Bajo Otra Luz”), Buika (“Fuerte”), and Alex Cuba (Mi Plan).

Born in Canada, with Portuguese blood and a Spanish voice, Nelly offers us her most recent album to date, full of dreams and rhythms which pays tribute to the beauty found in cultural diversity.

Robbie Williams has consistently set new records for album and ticket sales, not least when he entered the Guinness Book of Records in 2006 having sold 1.6 million tickets on one day for his 2006 tour. That tour played to 3.7 million people in total. Three years previously he played the biggest live music event in UK history when his 3 nights at Knebworth saw him play to over 365,000 people.

Robbie has also won more Brit Awards than any other artist to date, has won 3 Ivor Novello awards for songwriting and holds the UK record for the fastest selling Greatest Hits album ever – that same album reaching number 1 in 18 countries.
