Interscope Records has released a new trailer teasing the releases that still await in 2013 and trust us, you need to see it.

Eminem, Dr. Dre, and No Doubt are just a few of the notable faces seen in the latest advertisement from interscope. The ad teases a number of announced releases without expressly saying ‘coming this year,’ so we are assuming the message being conveyed is one of what lies ahead. You can view the clip below.

So which Interscope release are you looking forward to the most? Comment below and let us know.

Detroit’s Channel 955 radio station claims Eminem will release something on July 2. Stay tuned for confirmation. Continue reading ‘Interscope Teases New Music From Eminem, Dr. Dre, And More’

Before you settle back into your La-Z-Boy this Sunday to watch the big game, let’s take a moment to recap some of the best and worst music-related Super Bowl commercials ever to grace your TV screen. Let’s just hope that The Flaming Lips don’t embarrass themselves in their much-hyped Hyundai ad this year.

THE GOOD

Who better to talk about the gritty determination that defines Detroit than the poster bad boy of the Motor City, Eminem? This brooding car ad actually instilled a spot of Motown pride amid the general goofiness that usually defines Super Bowl commercials. Good job, Rabbit.

50 Cent sold over a million copies of his debut album the week it hit stores. Sure, that was a decade ago and nearly every release that followed has sold less and less, but there is no denying that at one point or another there was no one that could touch this still-young musician. Now that he’s spent more than a decade in the limelight, earning ridiculous sum of money from his various business investments, 50 is back in the rap scene to prove he is still second-to-none. His new single, “My Life,” packs appearances from Eminem and Adam Levine, as well as an official video that might as well be a short film. You can view the clip below:

It’s not exactly prose worthy of Bob Dylan, or even Eminem, her sometime partner in rhyme, but with those fighting words, rapper Nicki Minaj recently helped make American Idol hot for the first time in years. She hurled them directly at Mariah Carey on October 2 in Charlotte, N.C., during the audition rounds for season 12 of Idol, which kicks off in January of 2013.

It’s been 11 years since P!nk got the party started, and it’s still going strong.

Hot off the heels of the pop star’s latest hit, “Blow Me (One Last Kiss),” “Here Comes The Weekend” leaked this morning, and it does not disappoint. The stomping, drum-driven track features a verse from rapper Eminem, who calls out hip-hop forefathers Diddy and Biggie.

As pop’s token “bad girl,” collaborating with Slim Shady was a no-brainer for P!nk; the two also collaborated on Em’s track, “Won’t Back Down”. ”Weekend” is a refreshing break from the currently ubiquitous electronic dance music trend, and is sure to please fans of P!nk’s past work. In fact, we’re pretty sure this will replace “Friday” as the new weekend anthem. Maybe.

P!nk’s sixth studio album, The Truth About Love, drops on the 18th. Other collaborators include fun.‘s Nate Ruess and Lily Allen.

One of the best releases of 2012 to date is Boys Don’t Cry, an album of covers recorded by Anglo-Pakistani singer-songwriter Rumer (nee Sarah Joyce). As a vocalist, Rumer is soothing and smooth, strictly middle-of-the-road enough to earn her an invitation from U.S. President Barack Obama to perform at the White House in May, the month her album came out — but that’s not to say she doesn’t have a slightly subversive streak.

After all, who chooses to release a collection of remakes for their second full-length studio album. (Rumer’s 2010 debut, Seasons of My Soul, earned her widespread acclaim, two Brit Award nominations, and a platinum certification in the U.K.)

Then there is the theme of Boys Don’t Cry (whose title was not inspired by The Cure song, which is not among the album tracks): Everything on it was written and performed by male artists in the ’70s. Somehow Rumer makes quintessentially guy songs like Ronnie Lane‘s “Just for a Moment” (about an instant of clarity in a drunken haze) and Neil Young‘s “A Man Needs a Maid” (title: self-explanatory) sound strong enough for a man but made for a woman.
