Kimberley Locke's Hot Dance Hit "Change"

Adult contemporary pop/R&B singer and American Idol season 2 third placer, Kimberly Locke was exclusively world premiered a music video for her the No.1 Billboard dance hit and the roll out single "Change" from her sophomore album, "Based on a True Story" on Americanidol.com in 2007. The Tennessee native Locke, with the assistance of Ty Lacy & Dennis Matkosky, wrote the song about the crossroads she reached when deciding whether or not to call off her engagement in 2005.
Wisely, the single focuses on that core, albeit with enough of a contemporary edge to indulge her youthful profile and perhaps drum up like support at adult top 40. "Change" rocks harder than the pop imprint of debut top 40 hit "8th World Wonder" and a bit less than the brusque, more urban "Wrong," mediating middle ground for a song that could make the grade across several formats. At this point, pop radio appears hesitant to embrace most Idols, so this persuasive effort is tailor-made to deliver on Locke's promise as a potential signature at adult formats.
The music video for "Change" was filmed in Nashville and was shot by award winning director Roman White, who has directed videos for such artists as Carrie Underwood, Hootie and the Blowfish, and Lonestar. The video follows Locke walking alone through the city on a cold winter's night. A promotional dance remixed version of the video was also produced and distributed to danceclubs.
A proven hit-maker, who has scored four Top 10 Billboard hits and collaborated with a dream team who've crafted songs for Whitney Houston, Destiny's Child, Jennifer Lopez, Monica and Kelly Clarkson, among others, is giving the recording thing another go. She is currently working on her 4th album with producer Randy Jackson. She states the album will be more in the dance genre and hopes for an early 2010 release. Have I ever mentioned that I love her voice? Locke is truly a vivacious and lovely woman who is captivating with her awesome voice and musical style.

Colbie Caillat | "Realize" (Video)

Colbie Caillat was born May 28, 1985 in California. "Realize" is the 2nd single from her debut album, "Coco" and was officially released today. The song is an acoustic folk-pop song, where Colbie sings of having feelings for a best friend. Allmusic said "she sings about simple, everyday things in an unassuming manner, letting her melodies and girl-next-door charm carry the day".

The video was filmed in Canada. Colbie and her best friend both left a note for each other, and the two discover that neither is home, and slip their notes under each others doors. Instead of leaving, the friend decides to sit and wait at Colbie's door, and Colbie is shown arriving as the two exchange smiles.

I'm pretty like Colbie's singing style, and have a lot of favorite singles: Battle, Bubbly, Capri, Feelings Show, Kiss The Girl, Magic, Mistletoe, Older, Onde Fire Wire, Oxygen, Tailor Made and The Little Things.

Elliott Yamin | "Wait for You" (Album)

Elliott Yamin was born on July 20, 1978 in Los Angeles, and placing 3rd runner-up on the 5th season of American Idol. Elliott suffered from a lack of overt star quality on the show, but his hit single, "Wait for You" boasts amplitude of a radio ready headliner.
"Wait for You" was the first official single released from his self-titled debut album "Elliott Yamin" on March 13. The song is a slow tempo ballad composed in C major. It has the biggest potential to be the album's most massive hit, great radio-friendly melody, the lyrics are so relatable. Elliott mentions in the song waiting indefinitely for the one he loves to come back to him. Despite the fact she has left him, he insists he knows she still loves him. It was aired on radio for the 1st time on March 1, and released to iTunes on March 13, and was honored as one of the most performed songs in the ASCAP repertory during 2007. Elliott is proof that you don't need to be an actual AI "winner" to be.

The music video for the song director by Nick Spanos, was premiered today. It shows Elliott in a variety of locations reminiscing about his girlfriend who has left him. The video shows Elliott on the beach, in his bedroom, and simply walking on a sidewalk picturing his ex-girlfriend's smiling face, and pleading for her to come back, just like in the lyrics of the song. The video features a recurring close up face shot of Elliott, in a black and white tone. Elliott is also shown in the studio recording the song throughout the video. In the end, his ex-girlfriend finally approaches him on the beach.
