On a worldwide literary phenomenon (soon to be a global film phenomenon), "The Hunger Games" is dazzling staff. The story of Katniss Everdeen sacrificing his sister, fighting in the Hunger Games and do everything they can to survive often comes as a silent and solitary stream of consciousness rather than a superhero story bronze. With the wildly anticipated, led by Jennifer Lawrence "Hunger Games" hits theaters on March 23, the soundtrack of the film - a mixture of first-line ranging from artists Taylor Swift Kid Cudi - wisely focuses on the vulnerability of the main character in the story and the sense of family that serves as your property more easily. The soundtrack is a collection of unabashed rock and hip-hop, but instead of a popular trend study of a child who struggles to overcome his circumstances unjust.
For experts, produced by T-Bone Burnett, "The Hunger Games: Songs of District 12 and beyond," finds a way to emphasize the most characteristic features of their current marquee events and winning entries from relatively unknown artists on here . Swift and civil wars each contribute solo songs as well as collaboration a "Safe & Sound", which captures the texture of "The Hunger Games" character in a manner reminiscent of Dashboard Confessional song Spider-Man "vindicated." Meanwhile, Neko Case, Miranda Lambert and Arcade Fire held on the occasion of their songs, and secret sisters, Punch Brothers and The Low Anthem convey a subtle confidence, and deliver three of the best cuts from the soundtrack
The Hunger Games "soundtrack has a few blunders - Kid Cudi is a dynamic performer, but it feels out of place when surrounded by acoustic guitars - but ultimately, the set of 16 songs is both a co-bid for "Hunger" intransigent and arouse. of folk-rock compilation for lovers not does not matter if you live in District 12, or have no idea what the hell is District 12, this soundtrack came garnished over a huge platform for the franchise.
What songs of "The Hunger Games" the soundtrack are the highlights? Here is the breakdown of the album track by track:
1. Arcade Fire, "daughter of Abraham" - an intense lullaby the soundtrack opens with a brutal distortion that serves as bookends militaristic percussion and vocals guide Régine Chassagne. The title is a reference to the biblical story of Abraham's sacrifice.
2. Secret Sisters, "Tomorrow will be more friendly" - A beautiful and sad waltz that recalls the tense expectancy Rue's song. The feeling of the line "I know this will not last / And tomorrow will be more friendly" captures the spirit of the series.
3. Neko Case, "nothing to remember" - Case lends its strong emphasis on alt-country soundtrack, leaving behind his past and trying to reach "the finish line." A short prayer and firm hand.
4. Taylor Swift with civil wars, "Safe & Sound" - a decidedly non-satirical song covered by the gregariousness of the soundtrack. Backup country superstar, civil wars add a bit of seriousness with melancholy melody.
5. Kid Cudi, "The Rule and the murderer" - One of the few curve balls the album, "The Rule and the murderer" Kid Cudi is still fiddling around WZRD mode, with heavy drums and buzz- underpinning her moans saw guitars and lurches hooks hurt.
6. Punch Brothers, "Dark Days" - a song that deals with a mother and sister back to a particular literary heroine. A gentle ode to hide the fear away that (hopefully) could soundtrack for an emotional scene in the film.
7. The Decemberists, "An engine" - The pace quickens with this rocker Decemberists simple like Twitter signing Colin Meloy is eclipsed by the dependence of the electric guitar unusual.
8. The Carolina Chocolate Drops, "Lament of the Daughter" - Can not imagine the sunrise over the District 12, Katniss and Gale lurking in the woods, as this song tells their last morning together before harvest? CCD works even the word "Mockingjay" in this little tune!
9. Civil wars, "Kingdom Come" - After providing an assist from Taylor Swift before the soundtrack, civil wars come to shine on their own here, its harmonies of tissue increasingly noticeable as the song progresses subtly designed .
10. Glen Hansard, "Take The Heartland" - Half The Swell Season (and star of "Once") Glen Hansard injected some much needed urgency in the album, debating the merits of murder and that sounds a lot like Dave Grohl in the just change of pace.
11. Maroon 5 with Rozzi Crane, "Come Away To The Water" - Another artist stepping out of his element: Adam Levine slows your instincts "Jagger" and acts as a mermaid with Rozzi Crane sign a "lamb" to slaughter "" .
12. Miranda Lambert Pistol Annies, "Run Run Daddy" - Like the best songs of 2011 Pistol Annies' from the album "Hell on Heels", "Run Run Daddy" natural charisma Lambert surrounds the pulp, production and rising harmonies.
13. Jayme Dee, "the rules" - from the vocal point of view, fresh Jayme Dee maintains its position at the biggest name on the soundtrack, despite the "Rules" is undoubtedly one of the weaker tracks on the disk.
14. Taylor Swift, "Eyes Open" - the strongest contributions soundtrack of Swift, "eyes open" places the singer in his own version of the Hunger Games, trying to stay alert and keep your sense of yourself as much the world is watching. A clever twist on the pitfalls of fame.
15. The Low Anthem, "Child Lover" - While away from the images of "The Hunger Games", the melancholy "lover is like a child" sneaks up on the listener with its focus poetic, and is buried in skin.
16. Birdy, "Just A Game" - The soundtrack ends with a hymn in which Birdy impressive exhibits its full range and declares: ". It is not, to keep me safe from harm / no question, which I carry in their arms "is it just a game? Sure it was not for Peeta!

Despite her elimination from American Idol last night, Shannon Magrane has had a pretty awesome spring break.
It's when everyone goes to the beach, the native of Tampa, says, "I'm on American Idol. Not many 16 year old girls can say they've done that."
Magrane, daughter of former major league baseball player Joe Magrane left in Thursday's agenda for its second trip to the last three, receiving the fewest votes from viewers after singing the difficult Mariah Carey / Boyz II Men One Sweet hit Day, Jennifer a performance called "beautiful."
In particular, the elimination of the singer means you do not participate in the Season 11 Idols Live! Tourism, which Magrane says it is "definitely very annoying .... This is what I wanted to do since childhood, and I was so close to it."
An address can be in the way of making history on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart next week.
Industry sources suggest that the vocal quintet "Up All Night" may sell between 160,000 and 180,000 copies by the end of the week following March 18.
This amount could be enough to snag a No. 1 bow - and would mark the first UK group in history to debut at No. 1 with their first album.
"21" Adele set can also be sold around 150,000 to 160,000 - so that the album could block an address from No. 1, and facilitate the return to the top (for a week 24!).
While many groups in the UK have reached No. 1 (Coldplay, The Beatles, Spice Girls, Depeche Mode and so on), none has - so far - was opened atop the list with their first release.
The top of the Billboard 200 new 10 will be announced on the morning of Wednesday 21 March.
Formed in the 2010 edition of the UK of the "X Factor" television show, an address comprises Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. The whole group is a native of Great Britain, except Horan, who is from Ireland. The act has caught three top three singles in the UK and reached number 2 with her debut album "Up All Night" in November 2011.
Back in the U.S. charts, "Up All Night", first single "What Makes You Beautiful" climbs from No. 50 to No. 44 this week on the Billboard Hot 100. It debuted at No. 28 three weeks ago. So far, the song has sold 338,000 downloads in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Glen Hansard of The Swell Season was over half their deconstructed version of the woman, removing "Under My Thumb" in the "Music of the Rolling Stones" tribute concert at Carnegie Hall on Tuesday when he asked the song is there-but-not composers,'' What kind of headspace was when he wrote this? "
A half second later, he replied, laughing: "I think it was a Keith".
So it was a typical episode for a playful, if not a little quiet, the night of rock n roll 'in the famous New York City concert hall, where nearly two dozen artists of points ranging from Italy to Africa Western North Carolina gave her the 21 stones taken out of the collection of Rolling Stones hits, "Hot Rocks 1964-1971". Presented by Michael Dorf, as part of what is now a regular series of taxes, all proceeds from the event went to fund depletion ORS music education.
Tuscany star Jovanotti paired with TV on the Radio to start the night with "You can not always get what you want." Looking and moving like a cross between Mick Jagger and Mike Love of the Beach Boys (1970 version with a beard), Jovanotti thin whip whirled round and round in their shoes with jewels, while members of the venerable Brooklyn band worked through an interpretation which remained faithful to the "Let It Bleed" original. Jovanotti-performance TVOTR, which was punctuated with a chorus of young people set the pace for the next seven or so artists more or less do the work, playing the song, without many frills.
The three strong women who have followed all the added oomph to the proceedings, starting with go flirty and sassy Ronnie Spector's "Time Is on My Side" performer Peaches fiercely independent drew puzzled looks on their incredibly strong Ziggy Stardust-ian team and punk do it, but his "Heart of Stone" pumped well, and the actress and singer Juliette Lewis may have misplaced a letter or two during a perfect reading Sassy "Satisfaction", but made up with a professional stage presence.
In the mixture from the beginning, Rich Robinson of Black Crowes and Gretsch guitar gave "Play With Fire", a delicate touch and Marianne Faithfull, told the story of how Mick and Keith wrote "As Tears Go By" for her. In town to play shows at City Winery, Faithfull's voice is deeper than when he made "Tears," a hit in 1965, but its dominance has not diminished a bit in 47 years. It is obvious musical offspring (both voice and attitude stage) Lana Del Rey has this kind of longevity?
There was no magical appearances of members of the stones at Carnegie Hall, but some of those attending the concert in the nosebleeds may have been fooled for a second when David Johansen emerged. The eternal New York Doll is looking more and more like Mick Jagger, although a few pounds heavier. The use of skinny white jeans and a baby blue t-shirt, protopunk icon barked and were just the right amount for "Get Off My Cloud".
After nine performances, including a vibrating up "The Mother's Little Helper" by Steve Earle and a grunt "19th Nervous Breakdown" by Ian Hunter, the show went into a more adventurous phase beginning with The Mountain Goats slowed and semi-creepy version of "Paint It Black." It was a low-fi, indie folk shot in the arm for the show, which previously could have passed for one of those specialties that are seen during the PBS pledge campaigns.
Then came Glen Hansard and his acoustic version of "Under My Thumb". He owned the crowd from the start, getting hundreds of snap their fingers in unison, later morphing the end of his three minutes in a fun mashup of "Gloria". After the show, the singer, who is currently organizing a Broadway production of Oscar-winning film "Once", you could see outside the Carnegie signature programs and even a young guitar before running off in a taxi .
A few times a-ha were coming from a euphoric version of "Ruby Tuesday" made-for-the-Carnegie Hall Art Garfunkel, which provides crisp warmed the crowd. Another voice very well preserved, belonging to Jackson Browne, followed with an acoustic Garfunkel, along down "Let's spend the night together", which still maintains his arrogance in some way. British psych-folk-rock Gomez gave a "Wow, this is beautiful 'reaction to seeing the Carnegie extended to the front before he launched into a delirious slow-fast version of" Flash Jumpin' Jack. " Grave of Ben Ottewell rasp, one of the most distinct in rock, echoed the Chamber of the best.
"Street Fighting Man" was the burden that comes, and was at the helm of West African artist Angelique Kidjo, who closed their song with a single-use breathing as the instrument.
Since the circulation of "Nice to meet you ..." in the epic "Sympathy for the Devil", Rickie Lee Jones took to the faithful of Carnegie in the palm of the hand with the physical interaction attractive brand scoring half spoken singing style. She was sitting with his guitar, but moved more than half of the other artists of the night. Towards the end, the crowd spontaneously began woo hooing to the delight of a possible Jones.
"You know, one of the best things about the Stones is that you can deconstruct their songs to the Blues, and that's what we do tonight," said the Taj Mahal, who launched a downright gritty version "Honky Tonk Woman. "His daughter, Deva, owns a voice that deserves recognition, filling your room's soulful voice was one of the highlights of the night.
Another dive, Rosanne Cash, took it easy on "Gimme Shelter", but surprise was helped Jon Sebastian, who vainly, along with his harmonica.
The clever and quirky traditionalists Carolina Chocolate Drops followed with "Midnight Rambler" and the American-thon continued with Jackie Greene, wearing a "desire"-era Dylan for a look noisy but not particularly interesting version of "Brown Sugar".
"Walking in Memphis" Marc Cohn star was joined later by Browne and effective to play the last song, "" Hot Rocks the achingly beautiful "Wild Horses". Marianne Faithfull returns as a "bonus track" to sing "Sister Morphine", a leading off-track "Exile on Main St."
And what would be a great concert, a tribute fat without an All-Star sing-a-long. "Says Tumblin '" has the honors, and though very weak, the stars got together in the spirit of things with the greatest singers, have said they take the lead, while others danced feverishly.
When the search for the next 'X Factor' judges, Simon Cowell, continues to play the timid who will replace Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger in the judges' table.
In The Hollywood Reporter first reported, Britney Spears may come to an agreement to make his league debut reality as a judge on the British import Buzzworthy. A source says THR well-Spears boyfriend, agent Jason Trawick, is negotiating his contact, which can be signed as early as this week.

"Why not? I mean, she's an icon," said Lambert. "It's a smart choice."
"I think it would be cool," he added bandmate Annie's gun Angaleena Presley.

Looking down a spot on the table is "Bad Boy", debuting at No. 3 is a mixture of R & B melodies, rhythms of hip-hop and some jazz. The song was produced by G-Dragon and the choice of 37, a producer of the house YG Entertainment. In the accompanying video, the boys strode through the streets of Brooklyn, while the addition of some free-flowing strokes and sensual vocals. The members of each one gets his own turn in the spotlight with G-Dragon and TOP singing / rap combinations, charismatic tone Taeyang, Daesung Seungri and the voices of all the melt flow well together.
Unlike "Blue" or "Bad Boy", the next highest charting single, "Baby Great" is a great time of the head-banger, with its catchy tunes and infectious chorus verse, which is sure to make all kinds of pop fans happy. With a breakdown that sounds similar to the will.i.am / Jennifer Lopez / Mick Jagger collaboration "The (most difficult)" and a catchy chorus ("I want dan-dan-dan-dan-dance") is the song that Once the most accessible to American audiences. In the music video, the boys flaunt their over-the-top characters that made them famous in Korea with flashy suits some, accessories and hairpieces.
BIGBANG stir in the list this week is obviously the creation of waves and a major reorganization in the classification. Ailee (No. 5 - No. 6), K. Will (4-9), John Park (6 - 11), all slid across the table. An interesting note is for the four-week chart-topper Lyn, however, which debuts at No. 20 with their new single, "Let it Rain".

Madonna wants to dance on the MDNA away in anguish. The album, to be held on March 26, has some of the best musical moments we heard the pop legend over the years, recalling the finest songs and themes that were discussed and a ray of light confessions on the dance floor.
It is clear that his heart was breaking Mij, and perhaps by her husband and former British writer, Guy Ritchie. It also explores the pain of life after a divorce in many of the songs on the album, and most of the time, and it works perfectly. Madonna truly understand the anguish and a better understanding of how people can be trained to become a better person.
While all the buzz seems to be about "does not give," and very little on the nose, making confessions about his divorce (which sings even falling off a horse), his anger still darker on the William Orbit-produced "Gang Bang".
A significant decrease in some cases, and always by the rhythm of the pulse, it is very difficult. It's kind of record you expect to hear at a club after hours, your friend really knows nervous system. This is located completely in love and fall in the depth of hatred when it. As a revenge of the pop song, Madonna sings, "And I'm going straight to hell / I have lots of friends there / If I see you in hell ---- B / I am going to shoot in the head again / why I want to see him die / over and over and over again. "
At the Disco, tinged "Love spent" Mij sings about feeling nothing but the Bank of Habib, former (had a very expensive Ritchie break), and regret, the melodic "best friend" recognize "the picture of the wall, but I'm still waiting for your call / and everyone who walks through the door / compares to you ".
"Superstar" wide and bright, recalling some of the highlights of the singer of the 80. Production and mid-tempo, which comes courtesy of Hardy Mwanza "Indiigo", and certainly helps to distract the attention of some of the silliest lyrics Madonna compares with her boyfriend, the famous men such as Al Capone and James Dean.
If anyone is wondering why she called MDNA album, all you have to do is look at the "I'm addicted," super-club track full of bumps and ringing noise free time and then zooms greats, which are filled with Loopy cases. This is to fire people and love completely, "Now that your name / pumps like blood in my veins / pulsing through my body, to shed light on my mind / it as MDNA and that's fine." MDMA, of course, is the drug known as ecstasy, giving the track a perfect metaphor for love on the dance floor.
Although most of the album deals with the ups and downs of falling in love, "Some Girls" is all about Madonna announces his genius. Last jam of the orbit, which is clear, robots, and hit song by Madonna and placed in a self-governing status of women. "I'm not like the others," he declares, as if anyone would question that. "Some girls are second best." In the choir, says: "Some girls do not like me / I am all that you dream / I have been here, please."
One of the most prominent is "being in radio," which seems to be born to be this summer's feel-good anthem. Is bright, cheerful and fun, all about letting go of the past. Through the production of a Martin Solveig, Mij sings: "It was time to open your eyes / I in the past behind / There is nothing apparently / insert this time and this crazy dream."
Not bad for being very confident in this album. Certainly in the slot. The album is full of strength, but also from exposure to round out. If you think the public, "Give me all your Luvin" and "Girl Gone Wild" is what this time, we are witnessing only MDNA pieces, this is the only complete when you hear the album from start to finish. In the end, this album is a medication that is worthwhile.

I put everything I had into it. not have bothered me at all if it were not so, but I think it a good thing that people know. "

Nearly 30 years after first hitting the Billboard charts in late 1982 with their debut single "Everybody," Madonna continues to demonstrate the emerging world how.
"MDNA" - his studio album number 12 - is a collection of pop songs pumping in the background, some of which are slices of brilliance. Madonna not only take us to the club with "MDNA" exhausts us, drains us and trusts us. Five minutes after an aerobic workout on the dance floor, we are in his private cabin, which is spilling his guts about relationships and how things go as planned. Then, five minutes later, we return to dance up a storm with a song like "Gang Bang".
Yes, "Gang Bang".
The track is one of the many album highlights the studies. It's a dark song, it's throbbing and totally twisted and surprising pop-tastic. (Yes, that's a word.)
Also notable is the summery pop nugget "Turn Up the Radio", the digital speeding rave-from "I'm Addicted", and driving, intelligent wordplay "I had love."
"MDNA" Madonna meets with his "Ray of Light" co-producer William Orbit, polishing their songs with twists and junks of cosmic-retro bit fuzzy. Madonna also enlists the aid to the production of Martin Solveig, the demolition team, Benny Benassi, Alle Benassi, Hardy "Indiigo" Malih Mwanza and Michael. (Search for the production credits here.)
Interestingly, the set's first single - the rah-rah "Give Me All Your Luvin '" - did not adequately prepare the listener for what we will get on the album. Basically: on one side and enter "MDNA" with a clean slate.
Here's a track by track Take on "MDNA"
"Girl Gone Wild"
"Girl Gone Wild" The second single from "MDNA" is also the dance floor ready opening number of the series. In a way, it is very danceable by the numbers-with Madonna, a "Good Girl Gone Wild" - singing about his "hot burning desire" to have a good time. Production is familiar Benny Benassi - all the driving, beating, electronic beats. It is comparable to your own remix of Madonna, "Celebration" single. The track does a good job of getting stuck in your head, thanks in large part to its "hey-yay-yay" chorus singing. A notable difference in hearing this song in a stereo setup with speakers of adequate quality, that is carried away a little more for the "buzz", so to speak, of the song.
"Gang Bang"
"Gang Bang" Start going crazy, hard core fans of Madonna, and "Gang Bang" is the song that we have been waiting for. It's dark, club, driving, shock and completely disgusting. (Meaning:. It's fantastic, y'all) Consulting our notes, doodles include the words "OMG", "breaking the dubstep" and "GOD THE RHYTHM". So yes, that is freaking amazing.
Eight composers, including British pop singer Mika (?), Collaborated on the song. On 8 March, he wrote on Twitter that is "weird as shit, underground and fresh lyrical, surprising and strange. I love it, it sounds so good singing the words so hard." Madonna sings / talks about the convoluted production remains about its enemies "close" and how "shot my lover in the head." Indeed, "Gang Bang" will be one of the most famous tracks on the album and is totally unexpected after the first hearing "MDNA" two individuals (the gay "Give Me All Your Luvin '" and-dance numbers "Girl Gone Wild").
"Gang Bang" lyrical "Drive a bitch!" - In so eloquently used in the song - all will become the slogan in the coming months. (Note that, as "Gang Bang" is explicit - and perhaps non-editable - will be omitted from the "clean" version of shame "MDNA.").
"I'm Addicted"
"I'm Addicted" Hey, you wanna go dancing? We see Madonna at the club, as she has this fantastic, swirl, digital get-to the number you want to play with us. "Something happens to me when I hear his voice and I have no choice," Madonna sings about hypnosis, Daft Punk, and song. And when Madonna said in a cool tone, instructive, "I have to dance," you know what - you have to dance too. (And now we know that the album's title comes from, as Madonna sings "MDNA" in "I'm addicted.")
"Turn up the Radio"
"Turn up the Radio" A cousin of "Girl Gone Wild", this song is a summery pop number is as easy as a single. It's fun nonsense, where Madonna sings about how "beating the temperature" and wanting to "escape" and how "sick and tired of playing this game." (Have not we heard this before Stop Virgin Games?) - Basically, the point of the song here is "turn the radio until the speakers blow." While the letters are not necessarily provocative or new, is still a lively little tune that sounds very good "on the radio."
"Give Me All Your Luvin '"
"Give Me All Your Luvin" (with Nicki Minaj & MIA) who have heard "Give Me All Your Luvin '" the first single from the album, which peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. The decline cheerleader-like song almost seems like a commercial for Super Bowl halftime show Madonna instead of correct one promoting "MDNA". His lyrics and the environment are not indicative of "MDNA" as a whole and deceive the listener into thinking that the album will be full of jingles singsongy with by-the-numbers of letters.
"Some Girls' second album William Orbit co-production," Some Girls "is likely to remind listeners of his work in" Ray of Light "album. The song has his trademark swirly, cosmic-like flourishes that zigzag from the speakers. On the track, Madonna herself lyrically with reference to the lines of "put your love to the test" (oh hay "Express Yourself"), while elsewhere singing "I never want to be like some girls."
"Superstar" Importantly, this track features the vocals of Madonna's eldest daughter, Lourdes (credited as Lola Leon), and the name of all the controls of Marlon Brando and Michael Jordan and Julius Caesar to Abraham Lincoln. The bottom line here is: "Ooh la la, you're my star" and "I am your biggest fan, it's true." Armed with a kicky new bridge of dubstep, Madonna also sings about how funny the "Superstar" object of devotion is "like John Travolta get into the groove." (Get it She referred again - but in a smart, sassy.)
"I do not give a F" (Nicki Minaj) A song very rat-a-tat-tat, where Madonna barrels through a list of diatribes that vaguely reminds one of his shots in the "American Life" single. She sings about how he "tried to be your wife" (Hi, guys!) Y "at the end was a failure." Nicki Minaj puts on his second appearance on the album, where the function exits with the hit "There's only one queen and that's Madonna. Bitch!" The song ends with a little orchestra longer than the epic and radical, but comes out of nowhere.
"I am a sinner" With echoes of William Orbit remixes own ultraviolet "Ray of Light" single, the dance rattle is very, very Orbit. It's like the love child of "Beautiful Stranger" (another orbit co-production) and "Ray of Light". Halfway through, Madonna gets inspiration and reciting "Hail Mary full of grace / get on your knees and pray," followed by "hanging on the cross Jesus Christ died for our sins is a loss," and so on. (Yes, there are more, but could not write so fast.)
"Love Spent"
"Love spent" "You played with my heart, till death do us part," Madonna sings on this ride, building the track. It has these whooshes (yes, a technical term) that date back to the 80 themes such as Kim Carnes "Bette Davis Eyes". It's a fascinating song that includes some wonderful strummy little (possibly a banjo?). The song to work a little clever play on words comparing the love of money: "I want to hold me like you have your money / hold me in your arms until nothing remains." Madonna co-wrote this track with a team of professional writers, and care is evident and welcome. (I love Madonna, but we also love it when pop collaborate and produce amazing, beautiful, like "Love spent.")
"Masterpiece" This was the first contact with the public has "MDNA" as it was released last year as the closing song of the credits of the film directed by Madonna "WE" (Although, at the time was not clear if the track ultimately turn by "MDNA.") The Golden Globe-winning track is very nice - is filtered with a clicky little rhythm, a delicate acoustic guitar and strings. Madonna's voice is beautiful, comparing someone to "a rare and precious work of art."
"Free fall" The Ballad beautiful Madonna meets with his brother-in-law Henry Joe, who has co-authored at least one song in four different albums now Madonna. He co-wrote "Do not tell me that" since 2000 "Music" album, and "Jump" from "Confessions on a Dance Floor" and "The devil you do not recognize" the latest series of the diva, " 2008, Hard Candy. " As an album closer, is perfect, with the letter "I vent to the need to know / that we are both free - both free to go ..."
Justin Moore has a staff of A & R with a lot of talent on the Valory Music Group, the label for recording. But anyone who has a personal interest in his career that has a pretty good winning percentage as well - his wife, Kate, who actually helped the Georgia native, choose two of their biggest hits.
"When I turn on" Small Town USA, he said that is a number one. Then: "If heaven was not so far," he played the song before the court, and asked what I thought. She said "I think it's a number one." She has always loved 'til my last day, "and it is his favorite song on the album", she said her next single to be released to radio March 19. "She said," It is time to put a love song out. "This is our seventh single, and I've never done a love song. I'm very happy about it. Has a different location. It is a love song that is typical for itself. Pace is more or less honest. Hope it goes well . "
Her latest single, "A bait a hook" to No. 17 on the singles list recently, but more important for a number of the letter was the reaction of melody received from his fans.
"It's one of those albums reactionary people are passionate about," he says. "We come and go from there to go after" Heaven, "and we had played that song since the album came out, and people sang every word, we wondered why they were singing already decided to do it, and said: .." You can go here or go there, but people are passionate about it. Let's turn it off. It sold quite a few albums for us and made a big impact in a short time. "
Many concerts have grown from "Small Town USA" reached the top of the charts 2009th "They have. It's great to see. We have not had a rapid rise to where we are. We have just a little taken a gradual and constant has been fun to see how it has grown in recent years."
Later this year, Moore will be part of the country Throwdown tour, with Gary Allan and Sunny Sweeney, but for now, enjoy life on the road as part of the tour by Blake Shelton. "It's fun." Is a good guy. It was fun getting to know. I good friend of Miranda, but I did not know. I am impressed by your program. I'm very happy for him. I think I finally get the praise and the respect he has for a long time. I am so happy for you both. "
Moore says that Shelton is exactly what is expected. Well, almost. "It's not as bad in person," he says with a smile. "He's really a guy down to earth, and is a good person. I hope will not tell her I said that. I do not think he really likes ... I'm glad you have become friends."
With its growing list of successes and his family (Kennedy Faye, his second daughter was born in November), consider Moore to be very blessed. "I told my wife," Something must go wrong here. This is very good. I am very happy. I'm in a better place than I've ever been. I am a better Christian. Is good. It is truly a blessing. It makes it worthwhile to go home and share with anyone. I'm very happy. "
So if "Til 'my last day," Kate makes three out of three, can expect a reward? He sheepishly says "How about a boat again? It would be a gift to us. Not knowing that she needs something. What it will ask for something, and I will complain and complain, and then two hours later, we to take up. She is not abused by all means, "he said with a twinkle in his eye steadily.
