VIDEO PREMIERE: Asher Roth featuring Cee-Lo ~ "Be By Myself"

Earlier this spring, white rapper Asher Roth shot to fame with his hit single "I Love College". After much success, he is releasing his second single "Be By Myself" featuring Cee-Lo. The song is a midtempo old school hip-hop styled song, which actually showcases Ash's talent in rapping. The video, which reminds me a bit of those iPod commercials, has a cool feel to it, and should boost the song's popularity this summer. Let's wish them all the best with this single. Enjoy!

ANNOUNCEMENT: Where Are My Posts Going?

Hey there! It's CharoogAjram, with another announcement for you guys! As most of you have noticed, the blog has not been recieving a lot of updates lately, and there are 2 reasons behind that. The first, is the fact that nothing has been leaking lately. It has been very slow since this recession has started. I also want to mention the fact that Blogger keeps deleting my posts. This past week alone I've posted music from Kelly Rowland, Nick Lachey, and more. They all have been deleted and it is not fair to me or you guys as well. So I would just like to remind everyone to keep visiting the blog, even though we have some haters out there! Thanks for understanding!

HOT STORY: Kim Kardashian to Record an Album!

This past year or so, reality TV star and model Kim Kardashian has been all over the world and Internet due to her growing fame from her reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians and her appearance in Ray J's sex tape. And now, it seems that she is going to release an album as well! Sources are reporting that her bother, Robert Kardashian will be producing the album and it will be a mixture of rap and dance.

"People will be shocked to hear the talents that Ms. Kardashian possesses on record", a rep for the so-called Armenian Princess has said. Other reports are even stating that Timbaland and Gwen Stefani have jumped to contributing to the project, with Gwen allowing Kim to do a remake of No Doubt's hit "Don't Speak". I really used to like Kim before her fame, but this is really unexpected. It may be a big hoax, or you never know it. She may just deliver hits like her friend Paris Hilton did a couple years back. I guess we will have to wait and see.

VIDEO PREMIERE: Katy Perry ~ "Waking Up in Vegas"

After 2 huge singles last year and her hit album ''One of the Boys'', Katy Perry is on top of the world! This month she is continuing her streak by releasing her fourth single "Waking Up in Vegas". The song is a cool, rock song with the typical Katy Perry touch to it. The video, of cousre takes place in various Las Vegas destinations, and is one of the cutest videos so far this year. I enjoyed the storyline, and it really made me like and appreciate the song even more! Enjoy!

OFFICIAL ARTWORK: Esmée Denters ~ ''Outta Here''

On May 22nd, Dutch YouTube sensation Esmée Denters will be finally releasing her first album called ''Outta Here'', named after her debut single of the same name. The album will be on Justin Timberlake's new record label called Tennman Records. Her first single "Outta Here" has been slowly climbing the charts, and might soon be a hit. The official cover is here, and it is quite nice. She looks gorgeous on the cover, and I'm really liking the simplicity of it. I cannot wait to hear her album, insiders are saying it is really good! Enjoy the cover artwork!

VIDEO PREMIERE: Kanye West featuring Young Jeezy

~ "Amazing"

After 2 hit singles from his album ''808's & Heartbreak'', Kanye West has finally moved onto releasing his songs "Amazing" and "Paranoid" as simultaneous singles. Here we finally have the music video for "Amazing" featuring Young Jeezy, a nice, midtempo auto-tune song with an electro feel. The video was shot in Hawaii, and features some amazing sceneries. It is overall a pretty bland video, and a huge disappointment on Kanye's part. The song should still do great on urban radio though! Enjoy the music video!

ANNOUNCEMENT: Lack of Updates!

Hello there my fellow La Place de Musique reader. It is your webmaster, CharoogAjram, here with a little announcement / apology. This past week for me has been super busy, and it has been very hard to make posts. But rest assured, that in a matter of hours (or even minutes) we will have plenty of posts and goodies coming your way. So enjoy some music video, download some songs and enjoy your weekend! Thanks for understanding and continue supporting La Place de Musique!

OFFICIAL ARTWORK: Eminem ~ ''Relapse''

Later this spring / summer Eminem is set to release his comeback album called ''Relapse''! The album's first single "We Made You" is surprisingly becoming popular, even though it is one of the biggest dissapointments in rap history. He has also selected his second single called "3 A.M.", which is not that good either. Here is the official cover art for the album, and it is probably the best thing about the album. It is a mosiac of Em's face made with pills (hence the title ''Relapse''). I really like the artwork, and I hope the album doesn't feature any more stupid songs. Enjoy this!

VIDEO PREMIERE: Ashley Tisdale ~ "It's Alright, It's OK"

In less than 2 months Ashley Tisdale is going to release her second album called ''Guilty Pleasure''. Her first single "It's Alright, It's OK" has begun making its rounds last week, and it has already become a favorite with her fans. The song is a pop song with a rock vibe discussing a break-up, a bit of a change from Ashley's old material. The storyline in the music video follows the song, and as usual, the boyfriend gets screwed in the end. Ashley has a guaranteed hit with this track, and I hope she continues her success. Enjoy this!!

VIDEO PREMIERE: Jeremy Greene featuring Pitbull ~ "Rain"

Last summer upcoming pop singer Jeremy Greene released his debut single "Rain" on MySpace Records! After a while without any promotion for his songs, he has returned almost a year later with the video for a remix of his original single featuring the rapper Pitbull. The song is a cool, upbeat pop / hip-hop song with a great beat and chorus. The video, is a bit typical, but I think it can still become big on networks like Vh1 and BET. Let's see how this song does this summer. Enjoy the music video!

DISCOVER & DOWNLOAD: Wynter Gordon ~ "Lady"

Earlier this year, r&b / pop singer Wynter Gordon rose to fame as a featured artists on Flo Rida's hit single "Sugar". She has been in the studio working on her first album ''Wynter Wonderland'' this past year and she plans on releasing her first official single this summer. Here is a song by her called "Lady", which is a cover of the 2001 techno hit of the same name. Her version, is very good, and a more r&b influenced version to the dance classic. I hope this makes it onto her album! Enjoy!

VIDEO PREMIERE: Kelly Clarkson ~ "I Do Not Hook Up"

Ever since the release of her album ''All I Ever Wanted'' back in March, Kelly Clarkson has been all over the main-stream radio for the first time since 2005. Her first single "My Life Would Suck Without You" did great great on the charts and she plans to follow with "I Do Not Hook Up". The song is a good pop / rock song, with the typical Kelly feel to it. The video has a great concept, and is very entertaining to watch. I really hope to see this boom this summer! Enjoy!!

NEW MUSIC: Ciara ~ "G is for Girl (A-Z)"

In just a couple weeks Ciara will finally release her third studio album ''Fantasy Ride''! Her single "Love Sex Magic" with Justin Timberlake has already become a hit, and she hoping for some more to come her way. Here is a new joint by her called "G is for Girl (A-Z)" which is a cool, urban uptempo pop / r&b song with a crunk feel to it. This is becoming pretty popular, and it might just be her newest single! Enjoy this!

VIDEO PREMIERE: Ne-Yo ~ "Part of the List"

Producer and occasional r&b singer Ne-Yo has been laying low this year, even though he has been releasing some singles here and there. Here is the music video for his fourth single "Part of the List", off the album ''Year of the Gentleman''. The song is a decent, soul ballad, and the video is much like the song, just telling a love story. This video takes place before the "Mad" video, and it is part of a bigger storyline. This won't make it big IMO, and I think he should move on to a new album soon. Enjoy!

VIDEO PREMIERE: The Black Eyed Peas ~ "Boom Boom Pow"

This June the world will finally have The Black Eyed Peas' long-anticipated album "The E.N.D.", which has kept them in the studio for a good part of last year. Their first single "Boom Boom Pow" has done great on the charts, and will do even better with its new music video. The video for the great, upbeat hip-hop / dance song has a futuristic feel to it, just like I am guessing the whole album will have. It is a bit of a letdown, but they still rocked it! Can't wait to hear their next single! Enjoy this video!

HOT STORIES: Miscellaneous Celebrity News ~ April 16, 2009

With so much happening in the lives of celebrities, it is hard to always keep with all the big stories. Here is a special post which kinda goes through the semi-important stuff in your favorite singer's lives, you should know about.

First off, girl-group Danity Kane is currently set to reunite again at the Making the Band finale. The 2-part finale will begin tonight on MTV and continue next Thursday, April 23rd. In the second part of the special event, all of Danity Kane's members will return and talk to their fans live on stage about their problems. Let's see if Diddy will get them back together, or close the book of Danity Kane, forever.

Next, pop / rock singer Pink has announced that she will once again marry her ex-husband Casey Hart. The couple broke up 2 years ago due to their busy careers, but close sources say "they never stopped loving each other". They are set to have the small, intimate ceremony in the early summer with only their closest friends and family. Congrats to the couple-to-be, again.

And finally, Amy Winehouse has declined an offer to be featured on Eminem's new album ''Relapse''. The rapper, who had poked fun at her in his song "We Made You" had asked her to be featured on a song for the album. She has instead been focusing on her own music lately, even writing a song about her husband Blake Feilder-Civil, who claims to have gotten another woman pregnant. Amy still insists that she loves him, even though she is working on a song called "The Ultimate Betrayal". Can't wait to hear some new tunes from her!

VIDEO PREMIERE: BoA featuring Sean Garrett

~ "I Did it For Love"

Almost a month after the release of her first American album, Korean singer BoA has decided to release the music video for her song "I Did it For Love"! The song is a great, upbeat electro-pop song with an r&b twist. The video is a bit of a letdown because it has no story line, but her great dance moves and passion really make up for the loss. This song seriously needs to be picked up by radio stations soon! Enjoy this!

NEW MUSIC: Ashley Tisdale ~ "It's Alright, It's Ok"

In 2 months Ashley Tisdale will be coming around to release her sophomore album "Guilty Pleasure". Here is the leak of her first single "It's Alright, It's Ok". The song is an okay rock / pop track, which drifts away from her Disney-oriented debut and is similar to Kelly Clarkson's latest stuff. I don't really think this will become a hit, and she is actually better doing dance-pop music. Enjoy this though!

NEW MUSIC: Girlicious ~ "Blush"

Last summer Robin Antin's girl-group Girlicious released their debut album which spawned 3 hits in Canada and Brazil, but ultimately failed in the US and overseas. It was confirmed that the girls have already headed into the studio to record their new album. Here is a upbeat pop / r&b track called "Blush", which is a bit different from the previous work from them. I really like this, and I think it can give them much need American fame. Enjoy!

IN OTHER NEWS: Britney Says

"Drive Safe, Don’t Smoke Weed" + More!

Earlier this year, the iconic Britney Spears embarked on The Circus Starring Britney Spears concert tour, and has sparked out a lot of controversy and craziness. She recently went to Vancouver, Canada for a show on Wednesday night, and the aftermath was not pretty. Supposedly many people were doing weed and cigarettes during the concert. After 4 songs Britney stopped the show, and after a 40 minute break she returned to sing "Womanizer". when running off the stage she said "Drive Safe, Don’t Smoke Weed, and Rock Out With Your Cocks Out! Peace, Motherfuckers!". Only Britney would do such a thing, but seriously don't do weed. :)

Check out a video from the show below! She says it at the 1:57 mark.

OFFICIAL ARTWORK: Ashley Tisdale ~ "Guilty Pleasure"

On June 16th (a day before my birthday), Ashley Tisdale will be releasing her second album ''Guilty Pleasure''! The first single "It's Ok, It's Alright" is still to leak, but the reviews so far for the track are really good. Here is the official cover art for the album, and I must say, I am impressed. It is good to see Ashley acting her age, and even though this is Photoshopped, it is good to see her leaving her Disney roots, and branching out like Hilary Duff. I can't wait to hear what is on this album! Enjoy the official artwork!

NEW MUSIC: No Doubt ~ "Stand and Deliver"

After a 5 year hiatus, this year ska-rock band No Doubt will be returning to the music scene with a international headlining tour! The group isn't set to release their next album until 2010, but they have started recording again! Here is a song called "Stand and Deliver" which will be featured on a new Gossip Girl spin-off next month. The song is a mellow, rock track, which is not the best comeback single. I hope this doesn't get an official release, as Gwen Stefani's vocals are just very annoying. Enjoy this anyways!

NEW MUSIC: Kat DeLuna ~ "Dance Bailalo"

This summer Kat DeLuna is still set to release her album ''Inside Out'' even after her flopped single "Unstoppable". Here is her new official single called "Dance Bailalo", which drifts away from the electronic sound and is an uptempo, Latin fusion / pop song. The song is a huge grower, but any Latino (or me even) will definitely cling to this. I don't see think becoming huge outside of Latin America, but Kat can always hope! Enjoy this!!

VIDEO PREMIERE: Eminem ~ "We Made You"

In May, Eminem plans to release his first full-studio album in over 6 years! The album's first promo single "Crack a Bottle" managed to reach #1 without even being a single. Em in now releasing a song called "We Made You" as the first official single. The song has a comedic spin to it, and features a rap bashing celebrities. The song overall is a huge disappointment, but the video is hilarious. In it he portrays celebs like Jessica Simpson, Bret Michaels and more. This definitely wont be the next "Crack a Bottle", and he needs a real single soon to save himself. Enjoy the video!

NEW MUSIC: Heidi Montag ~ "Look How I'm Doing"

Sometime this year, reality star and occasional singer Heidi Montag, is set to release her first ever album! After about four 'first single' choices, she has finally decided to officially release a song called "Look How I'm Doing"! The song is a blend of dance-pop and urban, with an undeniably good beat. I actually this is kinda good after a few listens, and it is defiantly a grower! Let's see how the public will react to this. Enjoy this!!

VIDEO PREMIERE: Day26 featuring Diddy & Yung Joc

~ "Imma Put It on Her"

In 12 days, the guys of Day26 will be releasing their second studio album ''Forever in a Day''! Their official first single "Imma Put It on Her" is slowly climbing the charts and has almost become a hit for them. The song which is a cool, r&b / hip-hop track has a nice beat and a good chorus, that will be stuck in your head all day. The video is kinda cliché at times, and is a bit 90's boy-band style, with a ghetto twist. I hope this goes further than "Got Me Going"! Enjoy!
