The "Get Lucky" hitmaker says he is "happy to share" an early preview of his second studio album, ahead of its official release on March 3, and all the tracks have been made available to listen to on iTunes radio.

Taking to Twitter, Pharrell wrote, "Thankful for the opportunity to share my new album with everyone [sic]."

Kanye West Debuts New Songs

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Performances, Hip-Hop & Rap,

Kanye West debuted new songs during a night out last Friday.

The rapper was partying at New York's Dream Downtown with Leonardo DiCaprio, Erin Heatherton and The Hangover director Todd Phillips and stunned fellow revellers when he pulled out a laptop and got DJ Reach to play the tracks he had on it.

"He was dressed in black pants and a leather T-shirt. He danced and lip-synced [to his songs]. The room looked stunned. People were standing around with jaws literally dropped," one onlooker told The New York Post.

It was recently claimed that Kanye wants to make an album composed of animal noises. The 35-year-old rapper experimented with them on his Watch The Throne album with Jay-Z and wants to take the sounds further by developing them into an entire record. "Kanye's telling friends this is his next ingenious plan. He's become so obsessed with roars, barks and jungle noises that he's experimenting with putting them on a recording," a source said.

No Suckiness Here: Kelly Clarkson Offers Preview of New Single

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Upcoming Releases, Pop,

Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You,” the first single on her upcoming album, can now be previewed through Amazon.com. Upon hearing the track, it’s possible to forget all the troubles that so recently plagued Kelly. It’s possible to believe she’ll be back on top of the music world soon.

American Idol’s first winner quickly became a pop princess and viable hit maker. Her first album, Thankful, debuted at number one on the Billboard chart. Her next project, the Grammy-winning album Breakaway, showed that Clarkson could offer some edge with her music, as well. In 2006, it looked like Kelly Clarkson’s success was unstoppable.

But while working on her third album My December, Clarkson suffered a public split with her management company and had reported troubles with her label. She canceled a summer tour and suffered a few negative headlines, but Clarkson started to pull through. The album became a success, and now Kelly’s all set to release more scintillating singles for her listeners.

Go ahead and treat your ears to the not-so-sucky preview, but you’ll have to wait until March before the rest of Clarkson’s album becomes available.

Listen to Britney Spears Circus album now, in full

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Upcoming Releases, Pop, Free Music Downloads,

It looks like Britney Spears has a marketing team in place that “gets” this whole social media game that all the cool kids are playing these days. Case in point, not only are they not concerned with album leaks, they’ve teamed with IMEEM for an exlusive pre-release landing page that lets you listen to all the tracks on Britney’s upcoming Circus album, which is set for a December 2 release. You can go there, right now, and listen to all 13 tracks in their entirety (and, for some reason, they included Radar again on this album - it was already on her last album, Blackout.)

They’ve also got a bunch of videos related to Britney, including a few music videos, music playlists, video playlists, photos, and more. It’s really well done, and anything that gives me early access to music gets a thumbs up from me. You can pre-order the album in CD form, or as downloadable MP3s, from Amazon.

[Thanks, Alana!]
