Danielle Bradbery’s ‘Heart of Dixie’
It’s been less than a month since 16-year old Danielle Bradbery was crowned the Season 4 winner of “The Voice,” but the upcoming country singer is set to release her debut single “Heart Of Dixie” next week. The single tells the story of a woman (not a girl), who leaves her dead end job, dead-beat husband and life behind in pursuit of a better life. Awfully grown up lyrical content for a 16-year old, who many predicted would be the female answer to Hunter Hayes. The fresh-faced teen’s first performance on a stage was her blind audition on the hit NBC series, so songwriting was no hold up in getting…

Listen To Kanye West’s New Album ‘Yeezus’
Until today the highly anticipated new Kanye West record was pretty much a mystery. No traditional promotion, no lead single and no videos were set to hype the release of the rapper’s sixth studio album, Yeezus. The ego-maniacal rapper stayed fairly low key, as critics began drawing their own conclusions about what the new effort would deliver. But just like a miracle from the Baby “Yeezus” himself, the entire record finds its way online just days before the record’s release. That’s not it, though. Today, West is the most talked about man on the ‘net, as his daughter with celebrity socialite Kim Kardashian was born five weeks early… on the eve…

The duo, Kat Auster (vocals) and Wilson Jaramillo (guitar,…

Video Premiere: Miley Cyrus "We Can’t Stop"
Miley Cyrus debuted her new video for the single “We Can’t Stop,” in which Cyrus sheds any glimmer of her early alter-ego Hannah Montana. In the video – which plays out much like the film Spring Breakers – Miley and her posse slither around a party doing abnormal, almost circus-like things, including a scene where the singer makes out with a doll in the pool. Wait, you’re still reading?!? After hearing about the doll scene? Yeah, not much else to say after that, so just watch Cyrus and friends “twerk” around in the video premiere of “We Can’t Stop” now and pick up the single on iTunes.

First Listen: Kelly Clarkson "Tie It Up"
America’s first Idol, Kelly Clarkson, who has had multiplatinum success with pop anthems and power ballads, is tapping into her southern roots with her latest single “Tie It Up.” The singer first hinted at a promising country career when she teamed up with her childhood idol – and future mother-in-law – Reba on the country legend’s Duets record. Since then, the Texas-native has teamed with Jason Aldean for their massive hit “Don’t You Wanna Stay” and with Vince Gill on the single “Don’t Rush,” which appeared on her Greatest Hits album last year. Earlier this month, Clarkson took a break from recording her upcoming Christmas record to take the stage at…

For months rumors have been circulating that Harry Styles, one-fifth of the massive boy band One Direction, has been working on a solo project. Those rumors appeared to have been confirmed as a new single written by Styles and his rocker friend Sam McCarthy landed online over the weekend. The song immediately sent the band’s fans into a frenzy and breakup rumors swirled.

On The Rise: Jackson Guthy Q&A + Win Tickets To Summer Break Tour
You may have first seen 17-year-old Jackson Guthy on The Ellen DeGeneres show, where the music-loving talk-show host gave the singer a chance to show off his talents in 2011 – and then again earlier this year. Since his first appearance on the show, Guthy has toured with acts like Big Time Rush and One Direction and released a number of catchy singles. The pop act will release his EP entitled Launch later this year, which will include tracks “Bad Boy” and “Brothers & Sisters.” This Friday, Guthy kicks off his 38-city tour opening for Victoria Justice and Big Time Rush on the massive Summer Break Tour.
