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。

电影<爱在暹罗>中乐队August现实专辑
此张专辑不同于电影原声带

在F.I.R.同名专辑中，十首歌的创作几乎都出自F.I.R.笔下，整张专辑的概念性强，理念表达完整，从旋律的市场性，编曲的丰富ㄧ直到歌词的内涵，整张专辑听下来层次分明，张力十足。专辑中非常亮眼的摇滚歌曲运用了不同的元素或编曲形式来表现，《Fly Away》充满生命力的华丽摇滚曲风强势登场，《Lydia》的抒情摇滚曲式却带有古典华丽的巴洛克音乐风格，展现F.I.R.的大将之风；《光芒》以庞克的节奏带出流畅有力的Modern Rock气息；《Revolution》取材自西洋乐界风行的New Metal曲风，加入东方音乐元素(古筝与二胡)完美地融合中西呈现出新的摇滚气象；《你的微笑》则以舞曲的节奏融合摇滚风味，配合旋律与歌词特有的甜蜜情绪成为专辑中最具渲染力的单曲。

F.I.R.专辑中的抒情曲也都是风味各个不同，《流浪者之歌》的中板抒情民谣曲风呈现出苍茫大地的氛围；《后乐园》以世界音乐的概念出发，由苏格兰风笛启航，带出宽阔视野的想像，再以钢琴与弦乐铺陈出这首旋律脱俗深动人心的抒情佳作；《我们的爱》是专辑中最具传唱度的气质情歌，《You Make Me Want To Fall In Love》跳脱一般情歌的悲情基调，以日本当红的Grand Song概念出发，钢琴与弦乐带出华美的爵士乐风，Vocal随着完美起伏的旋律展现真假音的切换，是整张专辑难度最高的歌曲，也必将成为2004年最美的一首情歌；《塔罗牌》运用加勒比海地区的雷鬼风格特有的反拍节奏，突显出歌曲本身的戏剧性魅力，加上Faye最拿手的随意吟唱，充满了异国风味的神秘气息。

五月天
出道六年，一直坚信“没有音乐就没有五月天，没有歌迷就没有可以一辈子玩音乐的五月天”！五名大男孩现在好好整理过去六年的音乐历程，预备在音乐历程上重新出发。六年来的精华杰作加上六首新歌，打造出《知足 最真杰作选》。

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。

SHINee, 강렬한 카리스마로 파격 변신 컴백!
세 번째 미니 앨범출시! ‘Ring Ding Dong’ 14일 선공개로 가요계 강타 예고!
컨템퍼러리 밴드 SHINee가 세 번째 미니 앨범 ’2009, Year Of Us’를 발표하며 화려하게 컴백한다.
이번 미니 앨범은 지난 5월 25일 발매한 두 번째 미니 앨범 ‘로미오’ 이후 약 5개월 만에 발표하는 새 음반으로, SHINee가 데뷔 곡 ‘누난 너무 예뻐’ 부터 ‘산소 같은 너’, ‘아.미.고’, ‘줄리엣’까지 히트 행진을 이어왔던 만큼, 발매하자마자 폭발적인 반응을 얻을 것으로 예상된다.
또한 차세대 패셔니스타 SHINee답게 스타일도 파격적으로 변신, 네오 고딕 스타일을 가미한 글램&시크 룩을 선보여, 모노 톤의 시크한 의상과 화려한 오브제를 사용, 자유분방하면서도 몽환적인 느낌의 스타일링으로 변신해, 앨범 발매 전 공개된 사진만으로도 화제가 되고 있다.
타이틀 곡 ‘Ring Ding Dong’은 아프리칸 콩고드럼의 그루브, 현대적인 컬러의 일렉트로 신디가 결합된 편곡으로 완성된 Afro-electro 장르의 노래.
가사에는 이성에게 자신도 모르게 빠져드는 상황을 “나 왜이래”라고 하소연하듯 고백하는 내용이 담겨있으며, 사랑에 빠진 순간을 머릿속에서 벨이 울린다는 만화 같은 상상력으로 풀어내 ‘Ring Ding Dong’으로 표현했다.
‘Ring Ding Dong’이라는 독특한 제목, 강하고 중독적인 사운드가 듣는 이의 귀를 단번에 사로잡는 이 곡은 기존에 보여줬던 SHINee의 컬러풀하고 경쾌한 이미지가 아닌 강렬하고 카리스마 넘치는 새로운 모습을 보여주기에 충분하다.

5人偶像组合SHINee将在19日带着正规2辑回归。SHINee预定在19日发布正规2辑，是在去年10月19日 出世的第三张迷你专辑《2009，year of us》之后，时隔9个月再次发行的新专辑。SM公司表示，作为作为正规辑而收录的曲目比先前任何时期的专辑倾注了更多的心血。特别是从出道歌曲《姐姐真漂亮》开始到第三张迷你专辑主打歌《RING DING DONG》连续的热潮也将在今夏延续！在专辑发售之前SHINee将从8日到12日按照珉豪，泰民，温流，钟铉，key的顺序公布各个成员定妆海报。现在SHINee主打歌的MV拍摄已经结束并且练习了一段时间，正规2辑的初舞台将在23日的KBS 2TV的《music bank》中被抢先公开。
本张专辑的主打歌《LUCIFER》在Break Dance流行的80年代的电子音乐的基础上，加上强烈的节奏感，是一首中毒性非常强的歌曲。特别是歌词中表现的自私的心情，正好是被比喻成LUCIFER的同时带着天使和恶魔两张面孔的恋人的心情的完美诠释。 另外出道之后首次展示作词实力的成员温流写下了十分感性的歌曲《Your Name》，钟铉也创作了生动描绘失去爱情的男人绝望嘶喊的歌曲《脏话》让歌迷十分期待。整张专辑共13首歌曲，还包括作曲家Kenzie创作的《Life》，该曲中反复出现的歌词A-Yo让人很容易就可以随着哼唱起来，另外还收录了在粉丝中非常受欢迎的一辑收录曲目 《Love Should Go On》的后续曲《Love Still Goes On》，延续了原有歌曲的风格并加入了新的元素，相信也会非常有人气。

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.'

首波主打新歌《一颗心的距离》，再度由范范在歌坛上的二位恩师陈小霞、姚若龙操刀加持，量身打造范范最心底深处那一块地方的负面心情，“心酸”只有范范自己最清楚！《一颗心的距离》MV同样也是交由范范长期合作的知名导演黄中平执导，只是导演求好心切，拍摄过程突发状况不断，让范范吃足苦头，不但拍骑车戏拍到大腿内侧破皮红肿、牛仔裤破洞差点走光；一场在海边浪漫玩烟火的桥段，还让范范用左手点燃打火机，不小心误炸左手食指，当场起了一个大脓包水泡，痛到差点飙泪！
