I’ve been wanting to share this great news with everyone and now is the perfect time :) This year, I collaborated with producer, Linney with Darkchild Entertainment in the recording studio to start the journey of my new solo record. With only 4 tracks completed, buzz is already starting to build as “So Talented,” the first song written for the album has been featured on Melrose Place on the CW in September.

Aside from working on my solo record with Linney, I’ve also been writing music with my brother Kellin for our band Boomkat. We just began pre-production on our 3rd record and I can’t wait to fill you in with details and surprise all of you later this year. I will always write music and perform with Boomkat which is a very big passion of mine. I love the 80′s electro/pop explosion right now so my solo record will showcase the love of that sound with a unique twist of course:)!!! Where as Boomkat’s brother-sister team will always remain experimental-never knowing or planning what will come out of us siblings.

James Morrison Apologizes For Canceling Madrid Concert

Posted on October 28, 2009 by popdirt

checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Monday (October 26), apologizing for canceling his concert at La Riviera on Sunday. The English singer songwriter tells readers:

To all the people who were meant to see the show in Madrid yesterday… I cannot apologize enough for letting you all down by canceling the show. I did not feel I could deliver the show that you deserved to see – my voice was non-existent. I know some of you had come a long way to see me and an apology is not enough to compensate for the no show. It’s just one of those unfortunate circumstances. I appreciate all the people who were singing outside the bus and am sorry I could not say hello but I had strict orders from the doctor to have total voice rest.

Hopefully I can make it back to Madrid and give you a great show soon.

Electrovamp Respond To Lisa Origliasso’s “Get Some Originality” Slam

Posted on October 28, 2009 by popdirt

are firing back at The Veronicas after Lisa Origliasso posted a message about the Welsh sisters, writing, “Tryin 2 look like us, pose like us, even have a neon pink band sign LOL! Get some originality!!!!” Kally and Tammy write:

For them to try & make out that we have copied them is unfair & maybe if they had done a bit of research before shooting their mouths off then they would realize that in actual fact it is the other way around, someone from their team – styling & artwork design must be taking some ideas from us!

Now it is not against the law to copy someone’s style & we have simply found it quite flattering up until they tried to make out we are copying them & that we have no originality!

Girls you are 24 years of age & should know better not to start tweet bitching about us without getting your facts straight & maybe you should have more input into your career than being puppets & letting everything be done for you! I.e. YOUR LOGO!
