KATHMANDU, June 29: So much has happened in the span of two weeks: SLC results out (Congrats to the graduates!); celebration of World Music Day; the second death anniversary of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop; and a surprising hike on fuel price.



And amidst all these happenings, if a bundle of the hottest new releases from the international music scene is what catches your attention the most, then I have enough of merchandise to lighten up your mood.[break]



Steven Tyler rocked out as one of the new judges on the 10th season of American Idol. Well, that job of his is over, yet he still has no time to spare as he begins his preparation for his first ever solo project! Yes, in the history of 38 Aerosmith years! And while the rocker engages to make his upcoming album, here’s a single that’s already a part of it. It’s the track “(It) Feels So Good.



” Featuring background vocals from former Pussycat Dolls beauty Nicole Scherzinger, the song is a Funky Rock anthem for the season. Other than that, you don’t need any more reasons to check it out. Just do it!



You’ve loved Lady Antebellum for their obvious hits.



Now you’ll love them for one more song! It’s called “Just A Kiss” and is a piece from their upcoming third album. Speaking of the single, the country favs say, they love writing about personal experiences, and this is definitely one of them.



Here, they’re singing about the excitement at the beginning of a new relationship. And it’s not just the words; its melody is also equally beautiful. “Just A Kiss” makes one feel that Lady Antebellum aren’t so overrated, after all.







You can hardly find anyone who doesn’t like The Corrs. It could be because of their decent Irish persona, or their ever so soothing music.



Whatever the reason may be, my next piece of information will certainly enthrall you.



The sibling quartet’s lead vocalist Andrea Corr has appeared with her own solo effort! “Lifelines” is her newly released album, and the first single off the set happens to be “Tinseltown In The Rain.” Believe me, the song is as beautiful as its title, i.e., if you think it to be so.



And although her sound seems similar to the band’s music, she has retained their individuality, and that’s what I like about it the most.



“Sweet” is how I would explain Owl City’s music, whether it lies under the genre of Pop Rock, Dance Pop or simple Pop music! And it goes without saying, that his latest effort “Deer In The Headlights” is no exception! In fact, I believe Owl City has come up with a potpourri of such genres in the single.



It’s taken from his fresh album “All Things Bright And Beautiful,” and things get only better when you hear his sweetly sung tune.



Whether Lady Gaga achieves a record of 10 million followers on Twitter or gets sued, the insanely stylish singer’s music continues to blaze the airwaves. “The Edge of Glory” is one of her new singles that speaks of the very last moments of living on Earth.



Taken from Gaga’s current set “Born This Way,” the melody of the dance song resembles much of the musical works of Bruce Springsteen, and is similar to the sounds of Electro Rock and Synthpop music.



However, the interesting part of the track has to be the notable saxophone solo passage, performed by late legendary Clarence Clemons, the prominent member of Springsteen’s own The E Street Band.



“Replay” was the single that introduced us to Iyaz, thanks to its catchy hooks and chorus.



This time around, the singer-songwriter has teamed up with Travie McCoy for his latest track, “Pretty Girls.” It’s to be featured in his as yet untitled second album, and sees him dealing with a difficult situation: Too many lovely ladies to choose from. Poor Iyaz is trying to pick the right one.



If you share the same kind of confusion, then you won’t find a better song to express yourself!



I believe there’s a competition for Beyonce and her new single “Run The World (Girls).” Jordin Sparks returns to the scene with one hot track that has women empowerment written all over it.



“I Am Woman” is the 2007 American Idol’s latest song which is about different aspects of the lives of women. And it’s not just the lyrics that are strong; the beats also emerge highly infectious and irresistible to dance to.



The song is from her forthcoming third studio album.



Watcha Say hitmaker Jason Derulo is back with an enjoyable new-age party smasher.



Remember the lead single “Don’t Wanna Go Home” from his soon-to-be released album “Future History” in case you have a gathering coming up.



 And also tag it along with Black Eyed Peas’ fresh offering, “Don’t Stop The Party.” Both of these club bangers make a perfect combo together!
