Mary J. Blige Is Finally Back with 25/8

CHART SPOTLIGHT. Ok, I had to admit that I was sort of disappointed about David Guetta switching Mary J. Blige for Sia on ‘Titanium.’ But, rest assured Blige hasn’t given up on us. As My Life II…The Journey Continues (Act I) is slated for November release, the aforementioned ‘25/8’ saw its digital download release earlier this month. Produced and co-written by Eric Hudson who previously worked with Brandy, Trey Songs and Jamie Foxx, the track was initially performed live on Good Morning America.

Listen to Mary J. Blige – 25/8!

Taio Cruz Is Telling the World that He’s Back

CHART SPOTLIGHT. Monday sees the release of the new Taio Cruz single “Telling the World.” It is lifted off the soundtrack to Rio: The Movie, an American/Brazilian 3D computer animated movie similar to the Ice Age series.

Packed with music, the soundtrack sports musical contributions from Sérgio Mendes, will.i.am, Jamie Foxx and Ester Dean. Cruz released several singles from his Rokstarr album, not least the trans-Atlantic No.1 “Break Your Heart.” His last single “Falling in Love,” did not chart however.

The British singer-songwriter made his debut in 2006 with “I Just Wanna Know.” He has released two studio albums so far. As WelcheMusic previously reported “Break Your Heart” was initially intended for Cheryl Cole.

Timberlake Turns His SexyBack on Music

While the WelcheMusic team looks forward to the up-coming flick The Social Network, we’re just as disappointed to learn that Justin Timberlake is done making music. According to a recent The Sun news piece, the singer does not have plans for a new album. His latest set Future Sex/Love Sounds was issued in September 2006 and spawned no less than six hit singles.

Justin Timberlake plays Napster founder Sean Parker in The Social Network and the trailer includes a choir version of Radiohead’s “Creep,” far from the usual r’n’b routine from Timberlake.

Although Timberlake hasn’t put out any music as a solo artist, lately he’s been featured on hits with Jamie Foxx, Esmee Danters, Timbaland and Chiara.
