Jessie and the Toy Boys singer spoke with ARTISTdirect in a Q&A, where the pop star talked about her new single ‘Let’s Get Naughty’, how it fits with her upcoming debut album, and her favorite part of the song’s music video.

“I wrote ‘Let’s Get Naughty’ over a year ago and just kind of forgot about it for a while…. Then I was going through all my material to decide what songs I was going to play for The Femme Fatale Tour, and I came across it in my demos folder on my computer,” Jessie said, referring to her participation as an opening act on Britney Spears’ U.S. tour. “I played it for my choreographer Bobby Newberry, and he and the dancers freaked out! It was instantly their favorite song of mine because the beat is so hard and the lyrics are so swag.”

Boston singer JoJo

recently spoke with Idolator in a Q&A, where the 20-year-old “veteran” pop singer talked about her upcoming third album ‘Jumping Trains’, touring with Joe Jonas, releasing the ‘Can’t Take That Away From Me’ mixtape last year, international promo plans, how her songwriting has evolved, growing up idolizing Michael Jackson, and her love for jazz.

“Oh my god, I would faint at the thought of it — but faint from excitement,” JoJo said about the prospects of recording a few jazz songs. “I love jazz! Yes, I would love to do that. I listen to jazz all the time. Jill Scott is one of my favorite artists. Not that she’s a jazz singer, but there’s a lot of jazz influence. She recorded this cover of ‘Good Morning Heartache’, which, there’s a small saxophone solo at the beginning, and I listen to that every day. Jazz makes me feel so many different ways.”

Skylar Grey () spoke with Digital Spy in a Q&A, where singer talked about putting an album out after being featured on songs with big name artists, if those artists will be returning the favor on her CD, if she considered entering a reality show like ‘The X Factor’, not knowing who Cheryl Cole is despite reports of a collaboration with the Girls Aloud singer, the most important career lesson she’s learned and if the album’s first single ‘Invisible’ is the sound fans can expect throughout the release.

“It’s a piece of it. Every song on the album sounds different,” Grey said about ‘Invisible’ being representative of the album. “When I’m making music I don’t pin myself down to one particular sound. I also put out a song titled ‘Dance Without You’ and if you listen to that compared to ‘Invisible’, they sound really different. The there’s plenty of stuff on my album that doesn’t sound like either of them.”

spoke with Body & Soul in a Q&A, where the singer songwriter talked about being inspired by truth, best advice she’s been given, admiring her family and the troops, advice for those looking to break into the music industry, and the importance of epilepsy.com to her. “I’m epileptic and it’s very important for me to spread the word about this,” the 23-year-old Tennessee native said. “So many people have no idea what it is and are most of the time frightened by it. I want everyone to know we are just normal people too with a bit of a kink in our chain but it doesn’t stop us from persevering.”

Caporaso spoke with Boston’s Edge magazine in a Q&A, where she talked about how her career has been non-stop since moving to America, the new single ‘I’m Still Hot’, feeling she’s “a gay man trapped in a woman’s body”, how she finds time to get in the studio, her “Isha CoCo” alter ego, and a possible collaboration with Cazwell. “It’s really funny because I don’t want to put an album out,” she said about new material. “I get really bored with albums, ie. 12 songs. I’m thinking like putting 6 songs out, an EP. And then once that happens, put out another 6 songs. That’s the plan anyway.”

spoke with TheVine in a Q&A, where the Swedish singer discussed singing being a spiritual process for her, how she hates recording, her songwriting process, and how a lengthy tour impacts her. “After a while of touring – I’ve toured for so long, you can’t even imagine – you just get into a routine, where the show is the show and that’s like the pearl in the oyster,” she explained. “You save that for later and then you’ve got to figure out routines [around it]. So you don’t like, die on tour. Because you feel nauseous, you’ve been travelling, you miss your friends, you haven’t slept. So the days are just about recovering. Staying alive, you know?”

Tori Amos Finds Michele Bachmann’s Views “Completely Against Christ’s Message”

Posted on October 4, 2011 by popdirt
Tori Amos 'Abnormally Attracted To Sin'

spoke with PrideSource.com in a Q&A, talking about how she celebrates a new release, how her last album ‘Midwinter Graces’ inspired her latest effort ‘Night of Hunters’, the disappearance of the singer-songwriter from mainstream, gay marriage, suicides among gays, and if she thought there was hope for conservative congresswoman Michele Bachmann or people like her.

I don’t understand people. Again, I’m a minister’s daughter, I was brought up in the church; I do know the political side and how it works. If I could sit down with these people you’re mentioning, I’d say, “I thought Jesus was about love and not about judgment and damnation. I thought Christ came to question the judgment of a very harsh God.” I just find it completely against Christ’s message. I don’t know what they’re representing, but they’re as far away from Christ as my Bible teaching taught me and, you know what, I was brought up in the church! I’ve gone to church enough for almost every woman in America!

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. Are Still Learning What Their Sound Is

Joshua Epstein of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. spoke with austinist about collaborating with Daniel Zott on the project, what their live shows are like, why they’re named after the NASCAR driver, the story behind the ‘It’s a Corporate World’ album title and how he describes their sound. “I think that our sound is probably just pop music in the general sense of the word,” Epstein said. “I think that for both of us, where our tastes align is kind of the focus and appreciation of melody. Daniel and I both have pretty specific ideas of what we like things to sound like at this point and if you combine them it just kind of ends up sounding like what our album sounds like. So I guess maybe that is our sound, but we’re still learning what that is.”
