Music Soup

E ‘past one year since the exit of contemporary album “Graduation” by Kanye West and Curtis “50 Cent had to light a challenge to the sound of copies sold, where, he had even declared that withdraw from the scene where Kanye had sold more discs him in the first week. The “battle” won the Kanye selling more than 1,100,000 copies worldwide in the first week (against the more than 900,000 of 50 Cent, as Mediatraffic) of which 957,000 in USA (691,000 against 50 Cent, since SoundScan).

To date, the situation has not changed, in fact, Graduation in the world has sold over 3 million copies, while 50 Cent lagging share to reach 2.5 million (estimate worldwidealbums) resulting in a flop pretty obvious compared to previous work.

The first version was that we had seen and heard during the last Video Music Award. Then it was coming out a new version of the study, slightly different you could also hear on youtube and Kanye blog. But, you know, there is not two without three and then here is also the third and final version of Love Lockdown always on kanyeuniversecity.com. It seems that the third version is also born by the comments left by the fans after the first post he was made to hear the song. Or at least you can guess from the one who writes the same artist:

Your prayers have been answered! There’sa new version of Love Lockdown coming. We used new Taiko drums and I re-sung it… it’s now being Mastered….

The song will be available on iTunes with its splendid cover you see on his head that post. To all intents and purposes is also the first anticipation of new album of Kanye West. The disc intitolera 808s & Heartbreak (I assume in honour to drum machine Roland TR-808) and will come out next December.

Beyonce: a certain divisimo and third albums outgoing November 18. Very well. The title suspected but unofficial “Queen B”. As already known, the Music album is co produced by the same Beyonce (more personal songs, sounds more customized) and unfortunately or fortunately by Timbaland that has put hand on most parts of the album

The first single outgoing next October 7 might be “If I were a boy,” even if NME puts it on the same level of the piece “Single Ladies,” outgoing contemporary madness.

It is expected the cooperation of Rodney Jerkins, The Neptunes, Pharrell Williams, Kanye West and Christopher Stewart. Someone also speaks of the presence of Justin Timberlake. In short: is coming. Hopefully without tim-banality.
