NATALIE MEJIA OF GIRLICIOUS SPEAKS OUT!!

Trangirl

Natalie Mejia from Girlicious just did a new interview where she speaks about the future of Girlicious, why Tiffanie left, and about those rumours on Chris Brown and her,

"There are 3 girls in the group. It's kinda like a TLC or a Destiny's Child. We're really excited to move forward and to get some new material out there. We're really excited. I wish Tiff the best. She's definitely talented and a smart and intelligent girl. I know we're gonna see each other at the top so it's all good."

As for their new album,

"We're taking a whole new direction musically. It's gonna be like very high energy dance music and it's gonna be awesome. I'm listening to lots of house music lately, I love it. This album we're doing a lot of writing on to, so it'll be like the diary to our lives. The new album will be released in America. Our goal is to release it in Canada first and get an amazing single. We don't have a title yet though, we haven't even started recording new material. We're really huge in Canada, we're there a lot and our show is re-run [there] over and over again."

And this is what she had to say about Chris Brown,

"Chris and I are friends and we just happened to hang out and stuff... you know. I would love to work with Chris, he's a great writer. I heard some of his up & coming stuff, he wrote a song for Britney, some Katy Perry stuff. We might do something, [might] have it in the works hopefully with our new album."

Haha I think I'll just stick to The Pussycat Dolls for now!!

THE LIST OF FIFTY!!

Fiftylist

It seems as though everyone is always searching for new music these days. I decided that in response, I would publish a list of fifty worthy, interesting, kind of fresh, and really ‘James Dean’ artists/bands.

They are all relatively new, some newer than others. Moreover, they are all relatively indie, some more indie than others.

Enjoy the list by checking out each artist, or whichever artist’s names you find amusing on either Myspace and/or Youtube.

I guarantee you will find at least one or two bands on this list that will change your life.

Regards, The Ein
