New Michael Jackson, Black Eyed Peas and More Coming to Stores This December
Black Eyed Peas - The Beginning
On November 30th, the Black Eyed Peas follow up their 2009 smash "The E.N.D.", with an all new set of 12 tracks. Expect much of the same familiarity in many of the songs as the Peas continue to use samples of songs from recent decades, one of the group's trademarks. The first track is an adaptation of the hit song, "Time of My Life", from the "Dirty Dancing" soundtrack of 1987 and is simply entitled "The Time." Check it out here.
The Peas have put out a seven-minute sampler of fifteen tracks from "The Beginning" (including 3 tracks presumably from the bonus CD set). Check it out here .
Flo Rida - Only One Flo (Part 1)
Florida-based rapper Flo Rida has been making hits since his 2007 smash, "Low," which sold over 5 million copies. His latest effort, "Only One Flo" is already boosted by his latest chart-maker, the David Guetta produced "Club Can't Handle Me" and contains seven additional all new tracks including collaborations with R&B crooners Akon and Laza Morgan.
Check out "Guarantee," the new single from "Only One Flo" featuring Akon here.
Soulja Boy - The DeAndre Way
Jazmine Sullivan - Love Me Back
December 7
Natasha Bedingfield - Strip Me - Postponed from a previous release date. Check out the preview here.
Daft Punk - Tron Legacy (Soundtrack)
Duffy - Endlessly
In 2008, Welsh singer Duffy recorded an album that garnered a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album. The album, "Rockferry," achieved worldwide success with its introspective, sometimes nostalgic undertones. This December, the singer tries to juice things up a bit on her sophomore effort, "Endlessly." The new CD is much more pop oriented and up tempo than the previous effort, and judging by the sounds of the first single, "Well, Well, Well", Duffy's new sounds just may work as well as her previous ones. Check out the video here.
Redman - Reggie
T.I. - No Mercy
December 14
Crystal Bowersox - Farmer's Daughter
American Idol Season 9 runner-up Crystal Bowersox releases her debut set this December. The album contains 12 tracks, including a remake of Buffalo Springfield's 1967 anti-war song "For What it's Worth." The 25 year old singer wrote most of the songs on the album, with the exception of a couple, including the CD's lead single, "Hold On," which you can check out here.
Ghostface Killah - The Apollo Kids
Michael Jackson - Michael
Approximately a year and a half after his untimely death, Michael Jackson will be releasing his first set of new material in nine years. The 10 tracks on the CD are all songs that Jackson worked on in the three years leading up to his death and include collaborations with Akon ("Hold My Hand"), Lenny Kravitz ("(I Can't Make It) Another Day"), and 50 Cent ("Monster"). Check out the full track listing at the official Michael Jackson website here. Take a listen to "Hold My Hand" here.

Post a CommentDon't know how or why you even keep up with this stuff, age your age, no offense! By 40, I'd lost all interest in modern music.
Great article. Thanks for the info
In Argentina, there is a popular singer named Carlos Gardel, of whom it is said, "Every day, he sings better," although he died over 50 years ago. I wonder if Michael Jackson is going to join Gardel & Elvis?
Hmmm, if I had to choose one of these to listen to, it would be a tough choice. Either Crystal Bowersox or Duran Duran I guess. Not a big fan of either, but I know that listening to any of the others would be pure torture, for me at least.
Cool! I had no idea MJ had a new album in the works. And Duran Duran! I still love them!
Great compilation here, John. I'll be anxious to hear more from the new Black Eyed Peas' album!
Fabulous!! :-) I love the black eyed peas...woohoo. And Michael Jackson is always in style. Great work.
Thanks John.
Very nice, great work........ :o)
