-- Carly Rae Jepsen, "Kiss" (604/Schoolboy/Interscope Records)
The challenge for Carly Rae Jepsen following the monster success of "Call Me Maybe" – arguably 2012's biggest pop culture moment – was to steer clear of one-hit wonder status. She did that with another pop smash, the anthem "Good Time," and Jepsen shows she has even more hits on her second album, "Kiss."
The Canadian singer, brought to our attention by country-mate Justin Bieber, delivers what fans are probably looking for with the help of Max Martin, Toby Gad and others: More effervescent pop, unencumbered by a plot too thick or societal issues too weighty. Bass lines and hand claps, please and thank you.
"Good Time" features electro-pop singer Owl City, aka Adam Young, and is the heir apparent to the radio-overkill throne. "Hands up if you're down to get down tonight," goes the refrain as Young shares microphone time with Jepsen against...

And the last collaboration is a song with Justin Bieber. We're gonna do a little duet. And then the rest are sort of like, I think 'Call Me Maybe' is a pretty fair representation.

Last week, the Disney Channel premiered its latest original movie, “Let It Shine,” starring Tyler James Williams, Coco Jones, Trevor Jackson and Brandon Mychal Smith.
Inspired by the classic 1837 play, "Cyrano de Bergerac," the new made-for-tv musical is scored around the contemporary world of hip-hop and gospel music. Grammy Award-winning producer and Mc David Banner contributed to the music’s authenticity, teaming up with co-writers Toby Gad and Lindy Robbins to pen the soundtrack’s “Tonight's the Night."
We recently caught up with the Jackson, Miss., native to hear about his contribution to the soundtrack and his new project, Sex, Drugs and Video Games.
How did you get involved with the “Let It Shine” soundtrack?
My agents brought the opportunity to me and initially I was like, “Disney? David Banner? Wow!” [Laughs]. But the thing that I realized is it's about great music. And I’ve been telling people this for years.

When 13-year-old Rachel Crow made her shocking exit on the first season of Simon Cowell's American version of "X Factor," the typically unflappable judge promised the weepy teen that her ride was not over. Those pledges didn't immediately dry her tears or cushion the blow, but Cowell has made good on his vow in the form of now-14-year-old Crow's upcoming debut Ep.
After finishing fifth, Crow will actually get music out before season one finisher Melanie Amaro, who is still working on her debut album. Crow's self-titled five-song Ep will be released digitally on June 26 and feature songs produced by a number of veteran hitmakers, including Toby Gad (Beyoncé, Fergie), Matt Squire (One Direction, 3Oh!3) and Jonas Jeberg (The Wanted, Pussycat Dolls).

Demi Lovato Wants Lil Wayne
What dream come true would make Demi Lovato totally die with happiness? True fans can anticipate it’ll have a little something to do with artist Lil Wayne. They’d be 100% correct, too, as the reinvigorated songstress reveals in today’s fun interview video.
Her current studio album, which happens to also be her third, is called “Unbroken”. Though Lil Wayne’s song, “How to Love” is not currently one of the 15 tracks appearing on the album, Lovato has been known to cover the song during live concerts. One such event occurred at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. She has infused her cover with an extra message of empowerment and would really, really, love to share the stage with Lil Wayne someday. Come on, fella, how can you refuse such genuine appreciation?

One Direction. Formed from the X Factor rejects pile presumably because they lacked the vocal skills and/or charisma to perform as solo artists. But what happens when you put 5 people with as much charisma as a can of beans together? Well, you get a boy band with as much charisma as 5 cans of beans.
We will give credit where it’s due though. They (or the powers that be behind them) have managed to pull in some of the biggest producers in the business to contribute to their fledgling effort, Up All Night, and with the right people behind you, anything is possible. Just look at Gaga. Unless you’re eating your dinner.
Admittedly a 27 year old male is probably not the target audience for this album. Having said that, the memory still burns bright of my brother in law (29) and cousin (25) screeching along to...

Los Angeles — It may have taken some time, but Kelly Clarkson seems to finally be releasing an album without any drama on the side.
"Everything is good, everything is happy," she said, laughing brightly during a recent interview to promote "Stronger," released this week.
It's a different scenario than her last two albums: She went through public disputes with legendary executive and mogul Clive Davis over her third album and with OneRepublic singer-songwriter Ryan Tedder after her last album was released.
They were typical of the bold stances she's taken that proved her to be more than the passive, malleable product of a hit TV competition, establishing her as an artist instead of just a voice.
"I've been a fighter since I started walking," she said, adding casually and genuinely a line that could be lifted from one of her inspirational songs: "We get one life. You want to make...

Kelly Clarkson's Stronger, the follow-up to 2009's All I Ever Wanted, is an album full of power pop that finds Kelly delivering an empowerment message with her signature sassiness.
Released on Monday (October 24), Stronger is a mix of ballads and uptempo tracks. Lead single "Mr. Know It All" kicked off the release and sets the tone for the record, which includes production and songwriting credits from industry heavyweights like Toby Gad, Clarkson fave Claude Kelly, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins and Brian Kennedy.
"I worked really hard on it," said Clarkson, who is now five albums into a nearly decade-long career. "And it's my best album, I think, to date."

"I've listened to a bit," the "Jessie" star told MTV News. "Toby Gad, with whom she produced 'Skyscraper,' he wrote that with [singer] Kerli [Kõiv]. I like her stuff as well.

Demi Lovato proudly declares herself Unbroken on her just-released album, saying the record, especially lead single "Skyscraper," is reflective of her need to be "honest about my journey" since leaving treatment earlier this year and heading back into the spotlight.
Since Lovato announced the album's release, the headlines have certainly shifted from the personal back to the professional as she launches this next major step in her career. The album is a mix of empowering ballads and flirty party tracks, a combination Lovato hopes will help her ease into that next phase.
"I think it's grown-up, but it's not too grown-up," Lovato told MTV News. "It's not tasteless. It's growing up with my fans. It's [like] I'm not a kid anymore, but I'm also not a full-grown woman either.

Instead of going too edgy or staying a Disney princess, Demi Lovato's Unbroken, which drops Tuesday, is a perfectly mature album without scaring away the teens that grew up loving the "Camp Rock" star.
Thanks to touches of Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera and Beyoncé, Lovato will certainly win over a whole new fanbase. The album touts production and songwriting credits from A-listers like Timbaland, Ryan Tedder and Toby Gad, and while Demi got some assistance from artists like Missy Elliott, Iyaz, Dev and Jason Derülo, she's the true star on the album.
Her big voice and sassy-yet-vulnerable attitude play up the album's flirty tracks and moving ballads. The Missy and Timbaland collabo "All Night Long" puts Demi's signature big voice over a pumping beat, Tim's signature beatbox vocals and Missy's always on-point rhymes.

Kelly Clarkson has been robbed — musically, that is. Back in March, the original "American Idol" announced the delay of her fifth studio album, which we now know as Stronger, and ever since, fans have been patiently awaiting new material, official word and the smallest of tid bits on the pop star's looming musical comeback. Yet, they sure must have felt overwhelmed when a string of new Clarkson tracks hit the blogosphere earlier this summer.
While it may have appeased her hungry (and possibly starving) fans' appetites, Ms. Independent obviously wasn't too happy. "Oh my God, have you ever been robbed? I have. I’ve been physically robbed a couple of times, but this is much worse,” she recently told Entertainment Weekly. “There are songs out there that are from eight or 10 years ago … People are always asking me to write for other artists.

The ballad, which hit No. 1 on iTunes today, features a straight-ahead video, much of it a close-up of Lovato’s face as she very heavily emotes through the often anguished lyrics while walking through the sand. No one else appears in the Mark Pellington-directed clip as the focus is clearly on showing the pain she’s gone through and from which she is rising,...

Okay, music fans, today we have an update on Demi Lovato’s new album. The secret was out just last week when Boomtron revealed sexy cover art for “Skyscraper”, the young artist’s upcoming project she hopes will be an “inspirational” one, especially to girls. Get ready, because here comes a great big tease of “Skyscraper”. Enjoy the video, you’ll find below, as reported on by our sister site BSCKids.
The backdrop of this clip, and presumably the pending video for the single, is reminiscent of Selena Gomez’s venture, “A Day Year Rain”. The sometime actress is looking very much like the overcomer, don’t you agree? She’s got her game face on. You can hear the full single now. It was released officially to the world only yesterday. As for the world exclusive video premier, that happens today at 7:00 Pm only on E!

A piano plays as Demi sings, "Skies are crying, I am watching catching teardrops in my hands/ Only silence, as it's ending, like we never had a chance."
By the second verse, an empowered Lovato begins to find more strength. As a beat kicks in, she sings, "As the smoke clears/ I awaken and untangle you from me/ Would it make you feel better to watch me while I bleed?/ All my windows still are broken but I'm standing on my feet."

But, nothing could bring her down. "Go on and try to tear me down. I will be rising from the ground like a skyscraper," she sings triumphantly.
