Exclusive First Listen: Moby, 'Wait For Me' @NPR

The New York-based musician and the electronic artist, Richard Hall (born September 11, 1965), better known by his stage name "Moby", put out his new 9th studio album "'Wait For Me'" this Tuesday, which was made in his home studio. What a beautiful ambient record and a nice surprise!

"Wait For Me" is a melancholic, solacing, cathartic and poignant masterpiece replete with captivating musical soundscapes. The guest female vocalists are great. It’s been a whole year since Moby’s last studio album so these 16 new exemplary singles come in eagerly awaited. A dynamic mixture of vocal and instrumental tracks by a musical visionary.

Moby spoke about this album in a interview that "I want to make a really emotional, beautiful record. I don't know if I will succeed, but my goal is to make something very personal, very melodic, very beautiful." Moby’s music is exceptional. He has always had a thing for the blues, and always causes folks to turn their heads and ears in his direction. Totally alluring, I like them all.

Rob Thomas | "Cradlesong" Album Arrives Today

Cradlesong is the forthcoming sophomore solo album from Rob Thomas, who is an American rock recording artist, and was born February 14, 1972, in Landstuhl, West Germany on a US military base. Arguably the most accomplished singer and songwriter of his generation, Rob Thomas is one of modern music's most compelling and commercially successful artists.
The new album was tentatively titled "Cradle Songs", and recorded between 2007 and 2009 includes 14 tracks and 6 bonus tracks. This is Thomas's the second solo album, and the first single "Her Diamonds" is already a big hit in Australia. Thomas characterized the album as "the usual mish-mosh of styles, but hopefully just holding true to a bunch of good songs."
My most favorite singles from Rob Thomas were "When The Heartache Ends" in 2005, and "Little Wonders" he recorded for Disney's animated feature "Meet the Robinsons" in 2007.

Brooke White Clears The Air: Album “High Hopes And Heart Break” To Be Released July 21

Brooke was the fifth place finalist of the seventh season of American Idol. The first single "Hold Up My Heart" reached number two on the iTunes Pop Singles Chart.

Brooke was born into musical family that preferred to make music over watching television on June 2, 1983. She first realized she had talent at age seven, when she heard the Richard Marx song “Right Here Waiting” on the radio. “I sat down at the piano and my fingers automatically knew which keys to hit. It was like recalling something I already knew.”

As you know, Brooke forgot her lyrics during the AI! She started, stopped, and started to sing "You Must Love Me". Fortunately she forgot the lyrics within the first five or ten seconds, so she decided to stop the band and have them start over again. This is the second time Brooke has decided to stop the song and restart. The first time was during the her version of "Every Breath You Take".

These two songs are actually I liked most from Brooke's performance!!!

As Brooke gears up for her album release, she has changed the name of her Twitter account (@realbrookwhite) so that it matches her new website. Also, you can hear her new single, Radio Radio, streaming on her MySpace page. "High Hopes & Heartbreak" comes out July 21. Radio Radio will be available at iTunes Today!

Ginuwine: "A Man's Thoughts" Album Leads This Week Of New Releases

Ginuwine's real name is Elgin Baylor Lumpkin, was born October 15, 1975 and is an American R&B singer and an occasional actor. Signed to Epic Records since the mid-1990s, Ginuwine has released a number of multi-platinum and platinum-selling albums and singles, becoming one of R&B's top artists during the '90s heyday of hip-hop soul.

He returns with his sixth solo record that includes contributions from several well-known names such Missy Elliott, Brandy, Polow Da Don, Timbaland, Johnta Austin and the Underdogs. "A Man's Thoughts" definitely lives up to expectations in many areas.

According to the review from L.A.Times music blog, "A Man's Thoughts" is long on uncluttered slow jams with old-fashioned titles like "One Time for Love" and "Even When I'm Mad." In most, Ginuwine ladles on the melisma like it's Hollywood Week on "American Idol."

For more latest info, please visit Ginuwine's Official Myspace page, and enjoy 13 of his new songs.
