Britney Spears Quits The X Factor
When Simon Cowell announced that Britney Spears was joining the judges panel on The X Factor‘s 2nd Season, it was viewed as a brilliant move by the entertainment mogul. Spears, being one of the most famous women on the planet, came with a large fan base of loyal followers which the show’s producers banked would translate to viewers when the show premiered last Fall. Unfortunately the ratings -and her highly criticized lack luster performance on the show- didn’t match her hefty salary, so when the season ended it was immediately assumed that she’d likely not be asked back. Thursday, reports began surfacing that the “Femme Fatale” had bowed out and…

Justin Timberlake "Ready" for New Music in 2013
Justin Timberlake is one of the music industries biggest players, but as a solo artist he’s only released two records in the last decade – an unusual trend in the typically-turn and burn industry. Aside from a few collaborations and comedy tracks with The Lonely Island, the singer has strayed from music while he focused on a film career. The world has speculated for months – years even – as to when the “Sexy Back” singer would return to his roots, but Timberlake showed no signs of making a return. Until now. “I think I’M READY,” Timberlake Tweeted before posting a link to the video below, which shows him walking…

It’s a "Woman’s World" & Matt Morris is Just Living in It
On Wednesday, the “Turn Back Time” legend known only as Cher released her new single “Woman’s World”. Due to international leaks of early mixes of the single, Warner Brothers rushed its final mix and delivered it one day before Thanksgiving – which I am guessing left some Cher fans very thankful. The song -a woman-empowering club anthem with striking beats and slamming synths- is the first from the performer’s new album, which is set to drop in 2013 and includes songs written by other power-pop divas Lady Gaga and P!nk. “Woman’s World” was written by Anthony Crawford, Paul Oakenfold and Matt Morris. Yes, that Matt Morris – the one I…

First Listen: Christina Aguilera’s New Album "Lotus"
Christina Aguilera has been sharing her gifted voice with the world since she landed a role on Disney’s ‘Mickey Mouse Club’ alongside fellow Mouseketeer’s Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Matt Morris and Ryan Gosling. After shedding her mouse ears Aguilera reinvented herself with each new album and era of her -now long- career. And while it hasn’t always been easy for the controversial singer, she continues the fight to gain the respect that her impressive pipes deserve. No one can argue that tracks like “Beautiful” and “The Voice Within” will likely earn her a spot among the greats, but her attempts at further reinvention haven’t always proved successful. Her last two albums Back to Basics and Bionic, a role…

Artist To Watch: Dave Preston
For the past couple of years, I have had the pleasure of seeing this month’s featured artist, Dave Preston, play all over Denver. And while his raw and natural talent has been featured alongside some great artists, including Paula Cole, Trace Bundy, and One Eskimo, it’s his ambient guitar work, from his debut release BE, that has been recognized across the globe. After receiving internationally syndicated radio play, as well as being featured nationally on NPR, the release debuted in September of 2008 on the New Age Reporter Charts at number 91, shooting to number 66 the following month.That same year, Preston was selected to join the band of an…

EXCLUSIVE: Matt Morris In Denver
After a whirlwind promotional tour surrounding the release of his new album, When Everything Breaks Open, Matt Morris has found his way back home to Denver, Colorado. In the past couple of months, Morris has gone from singer-songwriter to star – performing with Justin Timberlake on the Hope For Haiti Telethon, singing for Ellen DeGeneres, George Lopez, and David Letterman, and appearing on multiple local and cable shows. But it was in his hometown where the very humble and grounded performer got to experience some of his new found popularity for, what seemed like, the first time. On Thursday night, he stopped by one of Denver’s premier venues, The Bluebird…
