“Defying Gravity” is the showstopper piece from the musical Wicked, composed by Stephen Schwartz, originally recorded by Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth on November 10, 2003, and released on December 16, 2003. It is mostly a solo sung by the main character of the show, Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West), with two small duets at the beginning and in the middle of the song between Elphaba and her friend Glinda, and a chorus part in the end in which the citizens of Oz sing. It was performed on the BBC television programme I’d Do Anything, and as a result the song charted at #60 on the official UK Singles chart.

“Your Disco Needs You” is a Disco song written by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, Guy Chambers and Robbie Williams for Minogue’s seventh album Light Years (2000). It was produced by Chambers and Steve Power.

SET FOR AN OCTOBER 5TH RELEASE

New York, NY — Backstreet Boys are very proud to announce the release of their new album, This Is Us. Set for an October 5th release on Jive Records, This Is Us is the seventh studio album from this groundbreaking and chart topping group that redefined the modern musical landscape, ushering in a chapter of pop culture that commandeered the world’s radio airwaves, broke music and concert sales records, and launched a new generation of teen idols. Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and AJ McLean collaborated with a powerhouse suite of producers and songwriters on This Is Us that included T-Pain, Max Martin, RedOne, Soulshock and Karlin, Jim Jonsin and Claude Kelly. The end result is an indelible and finely crafted R&B; and pop album from four talented musicians who love what they do and who maintain the rare relevance in an industry that often disposes of pop acts.
The 11 songs that make up This Is Us are the sounds of four skilled singers with a similar vision, who have dealt with the trials and tribulations that accompany fame at an early age and who came out as one of the most successful groups of all time. From the undeniable dance floor ready lead single, “Straight Through My Heart”(click on link to stream) to the reflective soar of “Bigger,” from the hook crazy “Bye Bye Love” to the romantic yearning of “She’s A Dream,” This Is Us shows remarkable growth as songwriters and continues to give us songs that has made millions smile.
“We’re really excited to release this new album and know that our fans are excited too. We worked with a group of amazing artists and producers that we’ve never worked with before, exploring new sounds and territory and know the final product turned out incredible” says Carter.
Backstreet Boys plan on spending the second half of 2009 and all of 2010 on the road. A European tour has already been announced and a full North American headlining tour will be announced shortly. Tour dates can be found on the group’s official website www.backstreetboys.com.

‘Madonna meets Shannon with Black Box keyboards with a 90s sped-up Scandipop backbeat. It’s amazing’ Popjustice Aug 2009

The wonky power-pop six-piece are back with a new album called ‘The Spell’ released on October 19th through Polydor Records. Alphabeat leave behind their Duran Duran/B52s-esque guise (influences which defined their critically acclaimed debut album ‘This Is Alphabeat’), channelling instead this time the spirit and sound of the best dance hits of the late eighties and early nineties a la Snap! and Black Box.

Alphabeat will release the first single from the new album, a retro dance-pop rave-o-rama also called ‘The Spell’, a week earlier on October 12th.

Alphabeat have mastered the art of taking influences from pop classics of the past and reinterpreting the sound into unique modern smash hit singles. The whole band wrote and produced the entire album, holing themselves up in their basement studio for several months experimenting with old record samples and retro synth programming to create the perfect pop record. They also enlisted the services of six-time Grammy award winning mixer Serban Ghenea (one of the best mixers in the business – Justin Timberlake, Pink, La Roux).

Track titles revealed by the band so far include: ‘The Spell’, ‘DJ’, ‘Heart Failure’, and ‘Chess’.
