Born This Way is the second studio album and third major release by American recording artist Lady Gaga. It was released on May 23, 2011 by Interscope Records as a follow up to her internationally successful, The Fame (2008) and the extended play The Fame Monster (2009). Born This Way is notably different from The Fame and The Fame Monster as it incorporates a broader range of elements of several musical genres such as opera, heavy metal, disco, and rock and roll, and fuses those elements with sounds of electropop and dance. The album also is heavily inspired by synthpop and electronic music from the 1980s and 90s. In the album, the central themes include those of religion, sexuality, and feminism. On the record, Gaga worked with several producers, including RedOne, the only hold over for her previous work. With Born This Way, Gaga took more control of her musical direction and the album composition.
Production first took place in early 2010, with recording sessions for the album took place at various recording studios around the world. The title was revealed in September at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards after Gaga's win of the Video of the Year Award for "Bad Romance". Just a week before the album's scheduled release, the contents were leaked online, but were shortly removed due to copyright violations.
Three singles and one promotional single were released for the album. "Born This Way", the lead single, topped the charts in over eighteen countries including the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. It would become the fastest selling single in iTunes history, having sold over 1 million copies within its first five days. "Judas" was the second single for Born This Way. The song peaked on the top ten in nineteen countries. "The Edge of Glory", originally released as one of two proposed promotional singles, was shortly made as the third single of the album. The song debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, and topped the charts in Brazil and South Korea. The promotional single for the album, "Hair", peaked at number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100 and chart on the musical charts in sixteen different countries.
The album has been met with generally positive reception from contemporary critics, who complimented Gaga's vocals and the album's varying musical styles. However, the repetitive use of the word "Jesus", in addition to the employment of church bells and monk voices in many of the album's tracks including "Marry the Night," "Bloody Mary" and "Electric Chapel" have all resulted in negative reactions from some Christian societies, including those in Lebanon, where Born This Way was temporarily banned. Despite such strife, Born This Way topped the charts in twenty-three countries. It debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 1.11 million copies. Over 430,000 of these sales were at a special price of US$ 0.99, which Amazon.com offered for two days during the album's first week of release.

OneRepublic是美国的一个流行摇滚乐队，成立于科罗拉多州。自2006年夏天以来，他们活跃与网络，并成为MYSPACE最受欢迎的艺人之一。作曲／制作人Ryan Tedder 和他的高中朋友Zach Filkins 在科罗拉多州斯布林市创建了乐队。然后乐队搬迁到洛杉矶。在Columbia Records短暂的工作之后，他们和Interscope Records/Mosley Music Group 签约了，并且完成了和乐队同名的首张专辑。乐队的核心Ryan Tedder同样也是创作pop, rock,rnb的作曲／制作人。他们的歌曲"Apologize"的混音版本被收入Timbaland2007年发行的专辑 TimbalandPresents: Shock Value中。这首歌曲的原始版本将会作为即将到来的专辑的单曲发行。８月末，在洛杉矶本地电台KIIS-FM的节目中，这首歌受到了大量的点播。 2007年8月2日乐队在FOX电视台的 "So You Think You Can Dance"节目中现场表演了 "Apologize"。
这虽然只是他们的第一张专辑，但他们却早已备受关注，My Space的点击率过了千万。专辑风格在独立、流行和摇滚之间，歌曲的旋律都不错，让人很容易就能接受，对于喜欢流行还是摇滚的歌迷来说都是不错的选择。值得一提的是专辑中大部分歌曲都是由Ryan Tedder来完成，也是一个不简单的人物。

首支主打单曲“Floorfiller”风行瑞典晋升金唱片
惊悚摇滚始祖Alice Cooper助阵合唱代表作“School’s Out”
A★TEENS/阿巴少年组成立于98年10月，由四个现年未满20岁的瑞典青少年所组成，分别是由Marie Serneholt(玛莉，19岁)、Amlt Paul(艾明，19岁)、Sara Lumholdt(莎拉，18岁)和Dhani Lennevald(达尼，18岁)四人所组成。就是这支来自瑞典的组合，不到两年的时间便一飞冲天获得多项国际性奖项、专辑全球热卖的畅销成绩和与超级男孩、布兰妮共同展开的美国巡回演出，使他们成为风靡欧洲的当红青少年偶像团体。
首支单曲《Mamma Mia》只用了一星期便打破瑞典的销售记录，使得《Mamma Mia》
停留在冠军王座2个月，成为1999年瑞典最畅销单曲。首张专辑《The ABBA Generation(新世代风暴)》以年轻活力来重新诠释70年代美声团体ABBA的经典歌曲。并凭此专辑在2000年9月击败克莉丝汀等强敌勇夺Viva Music Award所颁发的最佳国际新人奖。这张专辑非但使得阿巴少年组拿下众多优异成绩，还在全球范围内创下狂卖三百万张的佳绩，对四位少男少女来说，无疑好似做梦一般，不过这一切都还只是开端而已……也许有人会
质疑，除了翻唱瑞典国宝ABBA（阿巴合唱团）经典名曲的“加特”，A★TEENS还有什么成功的因素呢，第三张专辑《New Arrival/新货上市》可以告诉你答案。
在新专辑当中，曲风多元，创新求变，并微微带点放克味的单曲《Floorfiller》就是其中的代表作，不仅风行瑞典，销售量也傲然晋升金唱片。他们为迪士尼电影《星际宝贝》录了一曲猫王经典《Can’t Help Falling In Love》，此次特别收进专辑中，这张专辑的另一个焦点，便是与惊悚摇滚始祖Alice Cooper的合作；他们一直想与Alice Cooper合作心中的最爱《School’s Out》（Alice Cooper的72年的经典曲目），不过觉得他答应的可能性很小，结果Alice Cooper的小孩竟然是A★TEENS的歌迷，意外促成了这桩不可能的任务。
阿巴少年组为我们所展示的就是属于年轻自我的多元风格。专辑制作请来超豪华的幕后制作阵容倾力打造。专辑中到处洋溢着动感十足的强劲节奏，还有浪漫抒情的美妙旋律，总的来
说A★TEENS的这张全新大碟《新货上市》有着年轻多变的个性，是一张集合开心、轻快、充满青春气息的专辑，作为新时代的年轻绝对不应该错过如此正点的好歌哦！

2006年冬天，乡村女歌手泰勒史薇芙特(Taylor Swift)推出她的首支单曲，以当红乡村巨星提姆·麦克罗(Tim McGraw)的名字当作标题，引起广大的注意，也打进了乡村排行前十名。另人惊奇的是,Taylor Swift不但是歌曲的作者,她首张同名专辑里面的所有歌曲也都是她亲自参与谱写的,而当时他才十五岁。
2008年，甜美乡村小天后归来，发行个人第二张个人专辑《Fearless》，延续之前的清新乡村风。

Even those allergic to musicals may be won over by Once, a tender-hearted Irish romance with songs by Czech Republic–born Markéta Irglová and Frames frontman Glen Hansard. (The film's director, John Carney, actually used to play bass in the group.) The trick here is that Irglová and Hansard also play the leads; because their characters are shown busking, writing music, or rehearsing, the songs are smoothly integrated in the film. The overall acoustic mood won't surprise fans of the Frames--some tracks ("Say It to Me," "When Your Mind's Made Up") have even popped up on the band's albums, though the arrangements are more pared-down here, befitting the scruffy, street-musician setting. Being the lesser-known entity, Irglová feels like a revelation; she sounds a bit like a folkie Björk on "If You Want Me," and her song "The Hill" is downright heartbreaking. Irglová and Hansard had already made the 2006 album The Swell Seasontogether, so their collaboration here feels really organic--they sound particularly good together on the title track, for instance. Now that's the kind of magic you want from musicals. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

自2000年盛夏，一首满载少年浪漫情愫的情歌《Yellow》登上英国单曲排行第4名，红遍全英大街小巷开始；随后《Parachutes(降落伞)》专辑旋即空降英国金榜冠军宝座，98年正式成军于伦敦校园的Coldplay(酷玩乐团)已平地震雷一声响地迅速在全球乐坛窜起。
《Parachutes》是Coldplay在利物浦的Parr Street Studio录音室，与曾为Gomez、Badly drawn boy作嫁的Ken Nelson共同制作。纯净、美丽的中、慢板旋律加上主唱Chris Martin神似Thom Yorke(Radiohesd主唱)轻柔却极具戏剧张力的淳美歌声，10首慢流一致浪漫、迷美情绪的歌谣。
“Shiver”是一首绚烂美丽，关于单恋的故事的歌曲，令人感到颤栗的歌曲名称；以澎湃汹涌的吉他反复乐节，加上Chrir戏剧性嗓音，简单手法表现的畅销单曲“Yellow”；年少轻狂的“Spies”，伴随着彷复来自天堂的中八度圣音；赤裸，贝斯乐声轻抚的民谣“Sparks”简单、有力的生活宣言；“Trouble”以惊人、独特的轻柔钢琴尾曲开场，紧接着Jon和谐的吉他切入，瞬间整首歌曲彷复飞了起来；专辑最后一曲“Everything's Not Lost”结尾部分的低声吟唱，充满了轻柔爵士味，是酷玩乐团Coldplay自信展现实力的进一步证明。
聆听《Parachutes》像感受一次美丽，但又寂寞的坠落；一段远离每日烦嚣，但又可以更清楚观看的经验。

In Sydney, Australia, Lenka was a teen actress who trained with Cate Blanchett, thereafter landing leading roles on stage, television and indie films. A self-described 'punk-ass art school student' and vocalist/keyboardist for acclaimed indie Electronic/ambient outfit Decoder Ring. She has flung herself into two new worlds simultaneously: she's moved to California and become a solo artist. Whether channelling our long-repressed terrors ('Trouble') or long-lost innocence ('We Will Not Grow Old'), her music evokes primal emotions, unblemished by pretense or cynicism and unashamed of cracking a smile occasionally. Lenka's fresh sensibility extends to every element of her music, as the whimsical, paper art, stoimated videos she creates.'It's a mood-enhancer,' she says of her record, 'I don't like it when people are depressed. I want to cheer them up.'
