The Original Mobile Ringtone Service
A-Ha have just had a world premiere on their latest and last singel on Norwegian radio. It’s called Butterfly, Butterfly (the last hurrah) and is written by Paul Waaktaar-Savoy and produced by Martin Terefe.
Alexandra has managed to stay on trend with some satisfying pop-electro singles that have dominated the charts for the last couple of years. The best release to date has arguably been All Night Long, which still stands as my party anthem of 2010.
Start Without You has a Reggae/Carribean flavour that is smooth and catchy. Repeated listening makes it hard to stop singing along.
Coming from Reality Killed the Video Star, Robbie has certainly matured and is now a married man to both Ayda…and well Gary Barlow. With Shame, the two have crafted a perfect pop song, and from the auto-biographical lyrics to the instantly catchy chorus, it’s a pure delight for us to listen to.
The video (a la Brokeback Mountain) is the perfect complement to the song’s country-western feel and will no doubt go down in the books as both a Robbie and Gary classic. It’ll be interesting to see where their sound goes from here on Take That’s new album this November, but for now it’s just nice to hear the two men harmonizing once again to the sweet sounds of ‘shame’.
Status Quo are releasing a brand new version of their classic hit “In The Army Now” as the original track is approaching its 25th anniversary and, upon release in 1986, became one of the biggest-selling records of the ’80s worldwide.
All profits from this updated and lyrically-reworked version of a true fan favourite will be donated equally to the British Forces Foundation and Help For Heroes charities. The former boosts the morale of servicemen and women on the frontline and in operational theatres all over the world, primarily through high quality entertainment, and the latter provides direct, practical support for injured service personnel.
Francis Rossi said, “It seemed like the right time to do this. This release is intended to show our support for the Allied Forces around the world, but in particular, of course, the British Armed Forces. We want people to celebrate what they do, say thank you and also support these vital charities.”
Recorded just weeks ago at the Vestry Hall of the London College of Music, the track was, once again, produced by Pip Williams. This 2010 recording also features male and female backing singers from the Corps of Army Music.
The “In The Army Now” single is aimed at refocusing attention on the amazing job being done for us around the world by the Armed Forces and also in raising some much needed funds to better support those who need it most. Status Quo are delighted to get involved with these two charities and hope that the British public connect with the campaign too.
With Lady Gaga becoming pop music’s biggest star and releasing a handful of inescapable singles in the past year, a remix album of her recent work was all but inevitable.
