Pop diva Celine Dion is planning to release her new album, Water And A Flame, in the coming months. To reintroduce fans to her pop sensibilities and tease what’s new, Dion has begun releasing a series of studio updates, and we have the first right here on OurStage.

Opening with a clip of herself recording a new song, Dion sings “Now you’re gone / There’s nothing else I want / Now that it’s over / There’s nothing else I want.” To say she’s still working well within her wheelhouse would be an understatement, but as the clip gives way to Dion’s discussion of the track it’s clear she is as passionate as ever. You can view the teaser below.

Water And A Flame should hit stores over summer, but may end up delayed until the fall. We’ll post a single as soon as one surfaces online. Continue reading ‘Celine Dion Teases New Material’

New Jersey’s Man Overboard have released a video for their new single, “Where I Left You.”

Taken from the group’s forthcoming sophomore album Heart Attack, “Where I Left You” is a modern, relationship-centric version of Sum 41′s “Fat Lip.” The band’s two vocalists swap lines about life, love, and the drama that comes from learning to balance the two, while a wall of posi-pop punk instrumentation serves as accompaniment. The chorus is simple and ready for radio, but not to the point of over the top silliness. Instead, Man Overboard have crafted one of the first great jams of the summer, and you can view the video at the end of this post.

Heart Attack will be available starting May 28. Click here to pre-order the album. Continue reading ‘Man Overboard Want You “Where I Left You”’

Dizzee Rascal is prepping to release his monstrous new album The Fifth this Summer, but first he gives us a single and music video that you will want to play at full volume.

“H-Town” was shot in Houston, Texas over NBA All Star Weekend with help from Bun B, Trae The Truth, Truck Buck, and The Trill Gladiators. Produced by Oligee and turntable wizard and A-Trak. You can stream the video below.

Speaking on the track, Dizzee said, “The collaboration for this song started with Bun, I came to Houston and had a good time and it stuck with me, I was doing a mixtape at the time and I ended up writing about it and recorded it, I sent it to Bun and he got on it straight away. When I came to Atlanta to record the album I saw Trae in the studio and we decided to do the video.” Continue reading ‘Dizzee Rascal Debuts “H-Town” Video’

Excitement continues to rise this morning for Jimmy Eat World‘s forthcoming album, Damage, and now we have some insight on the inspiration for the record.

In a new interview with Billboard, JEW frontman Jim Adkins was asked what inspired the band’s latest material. Though his response is a bit more in depth than our headline might lead you to believe, Adkins essentially reveals that a great deal of the album is intended to be what he calls an “adult break-up record.” You can view an excerpt from the article below.

Our latest Artist of the Week is The Delorians. We were captivated by this band the moment we discovered their track “Attacked By A Panther,” a track really unlike anything else we’ve heard on OurStage.

The band, out of Louisville, Kentucky, cites a wide range of influences, including but not limited to “‘classical’ music.” It’s not a surprise to see a number of ‘60s acts, from The Kinks to The Crystals, on their list. Don’t think that this is another throwback pop act, though. Their sound is indeed retro, but difficult to pin on a certain era. It’s romantic, spooky, grand, but simultaneously fuzzy and somewhat lo-fi. Yet it’s not garage rock. There are sweeping elements from the pre-rock and roll era of pop, filtered through the ‘60s and into ‘70s glam. In fact, some of their songs evoke very early Bowie, himself a student of the music-hall vocalists of the ‘40s and ‘50s. Perhaps the band has summed it up best in their one-line bio: “The Deloreans are like Sinatra in Vegas, David Lynch, and being at the beach.”

Anyway, the songs are catchy as hell, is the main thing. Check out “Attacked By A Panther” below. Continue reading ‘The Deloreans: OurStage Artist Of The Week’

Former *NSYNC member JC Chasez has partnered with Jimmy Harry to bring together a new pop group that could very well become the next big thing in 2013.

Since the end of last year, word has slipped around the blogosphere about an act known as Girl Radical. The group, which features a dozen female vocalists, has yet to release a single song, but already has built a strong following based on their association with Chasez. Their website teases a debut in 2013, as well as a link to every member’s page, but very little information has surfaced at this time. You can stream a rumored song clip at the end of this post.

Pop rockers The Maine have been working on a new independent release amidst a heavy touring schedule. Recently, the group began performing a new song called “Birthday In Los Angeles,” and this afternoon footage of the track found its way online.

Performed acoustically, “Birthday In Los Angeles” should be all the proof anyone needs that The Maine can write a strong pop ballad. Ostensibly about, well, a birthday in Los Angeles, the tale obviously has a bit more depth. You can stream the performance below.

No word yet on when The Maine will release new material, but with songs like “Birthday In Los Angeles,” we’re more anxious than ever to hear what they offer next. Stay tuned for additional information in the coming weeks. Continue reading ‘The Maine Debut “Birthday In Los Angeles”’

It was only a week ago that Black Sabbath released the studio version of “God Is Dead?,” and already more new material has found its way online.

While performing in Melbourne, Australia recently, the men of Black Sabbath debuted a new song entitled, “Methademic.” The song is in a similar vein to “God Is Dead?,” with brooding metal pairing with Ozzy‘s atmospheric drone. The quality of the fan recorded footage is not top shelf, but the audio is good enough for sampling. Click below to view the performance.
