Jason Castro Makes His Social Media Presence Known

In one of Atlantic Records email updates, I was surprised to see a little plug for Jason Castro. I knew he was signed to the label recently but I wasn't expecting promotion to start so soon. Jason has a Twitter page, MySpace and an official site already up and running. While the site is pretty bare at the moment, Jason regulary updates fans via his Twitter & MySpace pages.

New VV Brown Single Out In June!

As if I needed another reason to love British singer VV Brown. Thanks to Popjustice, I've learned that her 2nd official single (3rd in total) will be a little diddy called "Shark In The Water," out on June 8th. (see the video here). Off her forthcoming debut Travelling Like The Light out June 15th, this track is a bit slower than her previous hits but still just as infectious. I love the harder

New Material from Paolo Nutini

Scottish singer Paolo Nutini is releasing his brand new single, "Candy" on May 18th in the UK, which is exciting news. This is the first single off his upcoming album Sunny Side Up, his follow up to his 2006 debut, These Streets. The last single of Nutini's that I loved was "New Shoes" back in 2007.

Mandy Moore Video Premiere

Sorry for the delay in postings! Work has been draining me and this past weekend allowed me to let loose and have some fun. I'm also getting ready for my week-long trip to London/Munich (leaving on Wednesday!) which is also much needed. Only 2 more days of work to go!

Katie Melua Announces 15 City U.S. Tour

I've mentioned before that my music tastes vary pretty drastically. I count Britney Spears, Madonna, The Dixie Chicks and Ray LaMontagne among my favorite artists. While my tastes may lean more towards the pop spectrum most of the time, I will give any talented artist a chance. Katie Melua was one artist I've loved for a few years now.I first heard of her back in 2003, when her single "The
