I'm excited to announce that this week's Song Of The Week is also PM's Premiere of the finalized version of UK singer Leona Lewis's newest track, "Collide," from her forthcoming yet-to-be titled third studio album.
The track is a dance-pop song that heavily samples Avicii's "Penguin." I wasn't too sure about the track after my first listen, but subsequent spins saw me falling hard for the song. Leona's voice soars over an amazingly beautifully produced track. I haven't been this in love with a song since David Guetta and Kelly Rowland's "When Love Takes Over." The song is very reminiscent of Katy Perry's hit single "Firework."
"Collide" will be officially released on September 4th. The track is so wonderful that I hope the date gets pushed up though. I've always been a fan of Leona Lewis and am really loving this sound for her. I can't wait to see what else she has in store for this go-round.
Leona's third studio album is due for release some time in November.
It's been a while since I've heard from singer Estelle. So imagine my surprise when I logged onto my computer today and saw that she had a new music video featuring rapper Rick Ross. I had no clue that these two even had a song together. So the first time I watched the video ended up being the first time I've heard the song. It's a really nice track that has an old school vibe to it. I'm into Estelle's new direction. I'm going to have to do more research about what she's been up to as of late. Check out the video. It's really good.
"No One Gonna Love You" is the official second single from Jennifer Hudson's sophomore album, "I Remember Me." This is a nice follow up to the previous single, "Where You At."
In the video, Jen continues to show us that she deserved that Oscar. LOL. She puts her acting skills to use anytime she can and I love it. This video was a nice surprise for me. Jen is really stepping her game up. She even does a bit of choreography in the video. She wasn't full out dancing or anything, but it was still nice to see her do something new. There is no denying how talented this woman is.
"I Remember Me" is in stores now. Make sure you pick up a copy. Don't forget to keep coming back to PremiereMusick for all of the newest music and entertainment news.
DJ David Guetta has released the artwork for his fifth album, "Nothing But The Beat." Guetta has stated that the sound of the new album was inspired by rock bands like Coldplay and Kings Of Leon. We can expect to hear features from Akon, will.i.am, Timbaland, Dev, Ne-Yo, Britney Spears, Ludacris, Taio Cruz, Flo Rida, Nicki Minaj, Usher, Snoop Dogg, Jennifer Hudson and Sia.
I was absolutely in love with "One Love" so I'm really looking forward to this release. I wasn't really a big fan of the first single from this album, the Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj assisted "Where Them Girls At," but it's slowly starting to grow on me. The second single, "Little Bad Girl," which features Taio Cruz and Ludacris, is set to be released on June 28, 2011.
Nothing But The Beat hits stores August 30, 2011.

Check out Beyoncé's commercial promoting the deluxe edition of her new album "4." Target exclusively carries the deluxe edition, which features 3 additional tracks and 3 remixes.
According to Rap-Up.com, Eminem is finally set to release the video for his song "Space Bound," the fourth single from his seventh studio album, last year's "Recovery." The video finished filming a while ago.
The Joseph Kahn directed video was shot in Santa Clarita, California. Photographs taken on the set of the video show Em in a dinner. The video also features ex-porn actress Sasha Grey as Eminem's co-star.
Em revealed that the video will premiere on iTunes on Friday at 5 p.m. EST before premiering on VEVO on Monday at 12:01 a.m. PST.
This worked out perfect. LOL. "Love You Like A Love Song" started our week off as this week's Song Of The Week. And now as our week comes to a close we have the video premiere for the single. The video itself is cute, but... Eh! Just check it out for yourself.
Six years later and this song still gets me up and out of my seat and jumping around all over the place. LOL. That's why I've chosen Amerie's "1 Thing" as this week's PM Flashback Friday song. It's the first single from Amerie's second studio album, the aptly titled "Touch."
Amerie endured a long uphill battle before the Rich Harrison track was able to see the light of day. According to Harrison, they wrote and finished the song in two to three hours. Amerie's management felt that "1 Thing" was the song to release as the lead single from a new album. However, her label, Columbia/Sony Urban, disagreed. They wanted the choruses to be bigger and for more music to be added to the track. Both Amerie and Harrison thought that adding more would do nothing but overpower the song. Each and every time they would submit a new version of the song to the label, they were told that the song sounded unfinished. Six months after recording the track, Amerie and Harrison leaked the song to radio, hoping to get it released officially. The response was amazing. The track began to get airplay all across the country. Columbia tried to keep the song underwraps because Jennifer Lopez, another artist on the label, wanted to record it for her album "Rebirth." Radio stations refused to pull the record and Columbia soon started promoting the song as an official single. Thankfully, J. Lo settled for another Harrison track, the Usher leftover "Get Right."
I love the sound of the big band drums and horns. And I love how Amerie utilizes her voice as an instrument, singing in her upper range and cooing aggressively over the hot beat.
The song still remains Amerie's biggest hit to date, earning her a Grammy nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 2006 Grammy Awards. She lost to Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together."
Let's take a trip down memory lane. Do you have any listening experiences associated with "1 Thing?" Can you remember where you were when you've heard the song played in the past?

Can you believe it's already been 10 years since Ms. Keys first broke onto the scene with her debut studio album "Songs in A Minor?" To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the album, Alicia had decided to release both Deluxe and Collector's editions of the album. The two disc Deluxe Edition includes the original album as well as a second disc with previously unreleased songs and a few rarities. This enhanced album also features "A Harlem Love Story," the story behind the inspiration for the videos Fallin' and A Woman's Worth, narrated by Alicia Keys. The three disc Collector's Edition features all the songs included on the Deluxe Edition as well as more unreleased tracks and an exclusive bonus DVD. Alicia Keys is one of my favorite artists so I can hardly contain my excitement about the 10th Anniversary Edition of this album.
The 10th Anniversary Edition of "Songs in A Minor" will be available worldwide June 28, 2011.

This is a track that you must absoluetely here. Ever since I got Wynter's album "With The Music I Die," I've been addicted to this song. It's a beautiful pop/electro ballad called "Back To You." Wynter sounds stunning on this track. She sings delicately and with ease here. This is definitely one of the most personal and introspective songs on the album.
Check it out below. Hope you enjoy it.

"When The Sun Goes Down" is the upcoming third studio album by Selena Gomez & The Scene. The album is a surprisingly good listen and a very solid offering from the pop tween. It's fun and youthful but also has some of the appeal of Selena's seniors, Britney Spears and Katy Perry. The album may be a bit sweet and sugary at times, but if that's what you're looking for then this album definitely will do the trick. Standout tracks include "Love You Like A Love Song," the Britney Spears penned "Whiplash," "Outlaw," "My Dilemma," "Hit The Lights," "That's More Like It" and "We Own The Night."
"When The Sun Goes Down" will hit stores June 28, 2011.

YES! I've been waiting for this album for so long. And all that long waiting was not in vain. Check this album out. You're gonna love it. I'm a little disappointed that Jame Foxx replaced Chris Brown on the track Where Do We Go. That was a big misstep. Definitely check out Chris Brown's version below. But overall the album is pretty solid.

Wynter Gordon finally sees the release of her long-awaited debut studio album "With the Music I Die." The Australian version features ten well-crafted cuts from the singer. A shorter six-track EP will be released in the U.S. on June 28, 2011.
You may remember Gordon from her feature on David Guetta's track "Toyfriend" from his album "One Love" or Flo Rida's "Sugar" or Gordon's own song, "Dirty Talk," which was released as the first official single off the album early last year. I wasn't initially a fan of Gordon's but for some reason I decided to give her anothr chance. I listened to the album all the way through and as the last beats of the final song died out I had completed my transformation into a Wynter Gordon fan. This album will not disappoint. "With The Music I Die" shows off some of the best pop/dance tracks released these days. Make sure to definitely give it a listen.

Song Of The Week
This week's Song Of The Week is Selena Gomez & The Scene's "Love You Like A Love Song," the second official single from their upcoming album "When The Sun Goes Down."
How I came to hear this track was pure happenstance. But I'm glad that it occured. The track is a soft pop-electro song. Admittedly the similie-filled song isn't anything we haven't heard before and the lyrics are definitely tried but true. Selena sings it herself in the song, "It's been said and done / Every beautiful thought's been already sung / And I guess right now here's another one." But there is something about the sultry way Selena delivers the lines that makes you want more. It's Selena herself that keeps that track from becoming just another boring sappy pop love song. Her voice transcends over a beautiful beat that almost sounds as though it was borrowed from Donna Summer. I can't wait to hear remixes for this song.
Selena has always been a more serious pop princess contendor than the rest of the Disney alumni. Hopefully she'll be around for a long while and will grow into an amazing artist. If this track is any indication of what's to come in the future, I may just see my wish come true.
Check it out below.

Chris Brown stole the show at last year’s BET Awards, but can he do it again? The R&B superstar has been added to this year’s performance lineup.
Breezy will return to the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles later this month to perform material from his chart-topping album F.A.M.E. He leads the pack with six nominations at the 11th annual show including Video of the Year, Best Male R&B Artist, and Viewers’ Choice.
After a tumultuous past couple years, the singer broke down in tears during his emotional tribute to Michael Jackson at last year’s show, earning him praise from his fans and peers.
Additional performers include Alicia Keys and Jill Scott, while Patti LaBelle will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award and Steve Harvey will receive the Humanitarian Award.
The BET Awards ’11 will air live on Sunday, June 26, at 8 p.m. hosted by comedian Kevin Hart.
Britney Spears is back on the promo train this week, now to promote her upcoming Nicki Minaj-assisted Femme Fatale tour, which kicks off on June 16th in Sacramento.
Earlier today, her management released a video exclusively of Britney seeing the finished Femme Fatale stage for the first time. She looks genuinely blown away by the set, squealing “Oh my God. I love it!” and doing a fist pump lol.
The stage itself is pretty amazing, with a killer lighting setup that looks like the inside of a nightclub. The singing and dancing may not be there anymore, but Britney’s Circus tour was truly entertaining, featuring crazy magic tricks, acrobats, a ring of fire and more, so you know that Femme Fatale is gonna deliver on that front. This first look at the tour stage is probably only half of what Britney’s team have in store to pull off an amazing show.
The tour has now officially expanded outside of North America, adding a busy European leg, which includes stops in countries she skipped on her last tour like Ukraine and Portugal.
You can check out the stage footage below, as well as a sneak peak at Britney’s upcoming interview on Entertainment Tonight, which looks like it’ll be rolled out in pieces over the week, starting Wednesday.
Michelle Williams, has crawled out of the woodwork to make a comeback.
Michelle has given fans a sneak peak at her comeback single “On The Run” by releasing a behind-the-scenes video from the song’s MV filming in Ibiza, Spain. Judging by the song snippet that can be heard playing in the background, “On The Run” is sounding like a big, 90s-influenced Euro rave banger, and a potential club smash in the making.
The track starts with the attention-grabbing, spoken-word opening line, "I want your whiskey mouth all over my blond south." Next comes something of a whisper-sing, followed by Auto-Tuned near-rapping. But what keeps the song going, is the memorable chorus. Just simple "Ooh oohs" that gives the song enough of a catchy hook to sing along to. Lyrically, the song is filled with dirty, sexual metaphors & I love songs like that lol. This is defnitely my favorite track off of "Born This Way"... Comment & let me know what you guys think?
