News: Ryan Tedder reveals more on Beyonce’s new material

0

In a new interview with Billboard, OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder has opened up regarding Beyonce’s forthcoming work.

The new material, which has been under lock-and-key over the past 12 months, is eagerly-awaited by both fans and the industry alike, with many producers being rumoured to working Mrs Carter on the follow-up to 2011’s massively-successful album, 4.

In the interview, Tedder revealed that “I’ve got something on the next Beyonce that could be the biggest song I’ve been a part of in recent memory. I can’t talk about it, but I can say I did it with The-Dream”. In an earlier interview, Tedder added fuel-to-fire, saying “Personally the song we did I like more than ‘Halo’. I think it’s a bigger, better song. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t ecstatic.”. On whether it will be released however, the singer/songwriter said “Crossing my fingers, because you never know. I don’t know when she’s coming out with something, I don’t know what the album’s called, all I know is what I’ve heard is amazing.”

Beyonce recently revealed the full version of God Made You Beautiful, the bonus single accompanying her new Life Is But A Dream DVD. The singer also recently unveiled professional footage of 4 bonus track Schoolin Life, taken from her Mrs Carter Show World Tour.

Stagedoor Exclusive: Alison Levi – ‘Come And Get Me’

Last week, we stopped by to have a quick chat with Alison Levi, one of our 14 for 2014 Ones To Watch, and as a little treat for you (and for us too), Alison gave us a sneak-peek performance of a new track she’s been working on.

Come And Get Me is one of Alison’s most personal tracks, and boy does it show. We could feel every word of the painfully-honest lyrics, and by the looks of things, Alison couldn’t have been more immersed in the track if she tried. Lovely stuff!

Premiere: James Blake remixes Destiny’s Child’s ‘Bills Bills Bills’

Not content with having one of the biggest albums of the year with Overgrown AND winning the coveted Mercury Music Prize, British electronic producer James Blake has unveiled a pretty insane remix of Destiny’s Child’s classic Bills, Bills, Bills.

The track, full of Blake’s trademark haunting pitch-shift vocals, sees the vocalist/producer go synth-crazy, making the remix sound nothing like the original.
