    Rihanna Album 2014: Recent Rihanna Photo Hints Upcoming Single and Album? DJ Mustard and Rihanna Prepping for November 25 Release Latest Rihanna news are getting nuts over Rihanna’s recent photo, as she posted an image of herself in a dark studio, stating that she’s back in the studio. Is she hinting her upcoming new single and album? Her last album “Unapologetic” was released two years ago. Fans are saying that it’s about time she releases a new album. Why? She’s been releasing a new album every year since 2009, but that stopped with her 2012 album “Unapologetic”. She’s obviously been busy with many other side projects, including the MAC cosmetic line, her role in the film “Battleship”, and don’t forget – she recently had a successful Monster Tour with Eminem. Her latest studio collaboration was with Shakira in “Can’t Remember to Forget You”. According to previous reports, a source shared that the new album is set to release in November: “Rihanna Navy can look out for the first single off the album this month and it will be a guarantee hit, Rih put a lot of effort into this track working with DJ Mustard. All the tracks for the album are already recorded with some bonus added to the mix to choose from, so the project is being prepped for a November 25 release date.” Also, DJ Mustard previously told Los Angeles Times that he’s straight with Rihanna when working on her album, “She’s kind of a different story, but yeah, you can always tell her “I’m not feeling that”…People usually have more respect for you when you’re being honest”.

    Chris Brown Album “X” Update: New Album Continues to Rank in Billboard Top 200 Album Chart, but Declining Sales and Bad Reviews?

    Chris Brown Album “X” Update: New Album Continues to Rank in Billboard Top 200 Album Chart, but Declining Sales and Bad Reviews? Chris Brown recently released his sixth studio album “X” on September 15, 2014 via RCA Records. His new album continues to rank in the Billboard Top 200 album chart, marked as one of the top 10, among the Top Rap and R&B albums. However, the album “X” recently fell from ranking No. 6 to No.9, with a 36% decrease in its total sales. Also, an album review from The Cavalier Daily quoted, “This incredibly long and convoluted album, with no clear message or theme, once again has lowered the expectations for Brown and for pop music”. That said, it’s been two years since his last album “Fortune”. Chris Brown is now taking his music towards a more soulful, mature and a vulnerable feel for the new album. In an interview with Ebon, Chris Brown mentioned that, this time, he “wanted to take the Quincy Jones approach”. He even said that the new record “pays homage to the Stevie Wonders, the Michael Jacksons, the Sam Cookes”. As for the album title “X”, the artist explained that is it symbolic of many things in his life, and he quoted, “it implies you`re progressing and moving on in life, not holding on to the past and your old ways”. The album`s lead single “Fine China” was already released on March 29 the previous year, and it ranked 31 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

    Taylor Swift Album “1989” Update: Taylor Swift on Her New Song “Out of the Woods” and Her New Upcoming Album “1989”, What’s behind the Album Name, Cover and Songs

    Taylor Swift Album “1989” Update: Taylor Swift on Her New Song “Out of the Woods” and Her New Upcoming Album “1989”, What’s behind the Album Name, Cover and Songs You can get a copy of her latest album “1989” soon, as the new album is set to release on October 27, 2014 via Big Machine Records! Our talented country singer Taylor Swift is back with a fifth studio album, and it’s going to be her very first pop album with a lead single “Shake It Off”. She recently revealed her new song “Out of the Woods” via Instagram, while sharing a few details on the song and her upcoming album during Good Morning America: “One of the goals I set out to accomplish when I wanted to make this album is that I wanted to make sure these songs sounded exactly the way that the emotions felt when I felt them”. She added that the new song “is about the fragility and breakable nature of some relationships... It was a relationship where you never really feel like you're standing on solid ground. That kind of feeling brings along a lot of excitement but also extreme anxiety, kind of a frantic feeling of wondering. This song sounds exactly like that frantic feeling of anxiety and questioning”. She said that the “Out of the Woods” is about a relationship full of stress, tension and uncertainty, but still worth every effort put into it. As for the album, it took her two years to finish the “1989”. The album name signifies two things: her birth year and the era that inspired her songs. At the same time, Taylor said that the cover of her new album is a Polaroid picture she accidentally took of herself, which she thought was a perfect cover for her new album. Taylor`s new album “1989” will also be available in a deluxe version, in which its three bonus tracks are Taylor`s phone-recorded voice memos that turned into actual songs. Other songs from her new album are yet to be mentioned, but for sure, whatever they are, Taylor fans will get to know more about our talented country singer through her very first pop album. Taylor Swift`s new fifth album “1989” will hit the stores on October 27, 2014!

    Daft Punk Tour 2014 Update: French Duo Releases LP Remix while the Random Access Memories Tour Remains Unannounced

    Daft Punk Tour 2014 Update: French Duo Releases LP Remix while the Random Access Memories Tour Remains Unannounced Daft Punk fans are still waiting for the French Duo to officially confirm their upcoming new concert tour. Unfortunately, their plan for the tour this year was met with an unexpected conflict and was canceled. There is no official update on the said Daft Punk tour to date. For the meantime, the duo recently released a remix LP of their 2005 album “Human After All” for the Daft Punk fans. “Human After All” was the third album of the French duo that ranked No. 10 on the UK album charts, and was only previously available in Japan as a limited edition. Now, the Daft Punk fans can purchase the remix LP online via iTunes. The likes of Soulwax, Peaches, Erol Alkan, and Digitalism are part of the remixes. As for the next Daft Punk tour, the concert group was trying to get a place for their tour in South Dakota at the “Devils Tower” in Wyoming. Unfortunately, the group wasn’t able to nail down the venue. Reed Robinson, the superintendent of the “Devils Tower”, was approached for the supposed venue request, but he said that the planned event would be disrespectful to the tribes in the area, “This being a night skies park and a natural part and a sacred site to 24 different tribes, that would be considered sacrilegious and gets into that ‘inappropriate use’”. The tour plan remains seemingly sidetracked by other recent projects by the Daft Punk duo. Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, for one, might soon release a solo album in the near future. It is said that he is “currently registering a solo album in the near western suburbs of Paris…no release date has been scheduled”, and that the upcoming album “will be full of guests”, including Charlotte Gainsbourg. Also, the duo are said to be making a TV documentary, “viewers will get an insight into the artistic world of Daft Punk…and the extraordinary story of the two award-winning French DJ musicians hidden behind robot masks”.

    Far Cry 4: Play Is Set In Kyrat, A Place In A Region In The Himalayas; Could Take 60 Hours To Explore Game

    Far Cry 4: Play Is Set In Kyrat, A Place In A Region In The Himalayas; Could Take 60 Hours To Explore Game Far Cry 4, Ubisoft’s sequel to the #1 rated first-person shooter game of 2012, will be ready for PS3, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Windows beginning November 18. A Limited Edition, which includes the "Hurk's Redemption" downloadable content pack, will be offered to those who will pre-order the game from the publisher’s site. There will also be available a standard Kyrat Edition, which will include a statue of Pagan Min, a map of Kyrat, a propaganda poster, a journal and a collector’s box, as well the "Hurk's Redemption" downloadable content pack, and an Ultimate Kyrat Edition, which includes everything from the standard Kyrat Edition plus a steelbook and Season pass. While Far Cry 3 is set in the tropics, the Far Cry 4 gameplay takes place in Kyrat, a wild, untamed but extremely beautiful region up in the Himalayas. Also, Far Cry 4 will take much longer to complete than its predecessor. According to narrative director Mark Thompson in an interview with IGN, “"Because we know the game can take people anywhere between 15 and 60 hours to complete, we didn't want people just to see Pagan Min [the despotic ruler of the place] everywhere. We wanted the world to feel like it was owned by someone, we wanted you to feel Pagan Min everywhere. But, specifically, region to region, we have a different character who owns it, and that kind of colors the outposts, the side-quests, the specific characters and personalities.” To enable users across different platforms to better appreciate the depth of the Far Cry 4 world, Ubisoft until now is still tweaking with the graphical settings of the game. As revealed by a Ubisoft representative to Game Spot, “With more than a month left until the Far Cry 4 launch, the team continues to maximize the gameplay experience across all consoles, and PC. We have not yet locked the resolution as yet, but, as Alex Hutchinson notes, we are aiming for 1080p on all platforms, including PC (depending on the computer you have). We look forward to introducing fans to the world of Kyrat!”

    Amazon Launches New Games For Fall In Fresh Bid To Capture A Bigger Share Of The Video Gaming Market For Its Multimedia Empire Amazon Game Studios has announced three exclusive titles for its upcoming brand of Fire mobile products according to a Eurogamer report. These games are: ‘Til Morning’s Light,’ ‘Tales from Deep Space,’ and ‘CreepStorm.’ Til Morning's Light is a touch-based character-driven action-adventure game wherein players can explore a haunted New England Mansion, solve puzzles and battle ghouls. The game is being co-developed with WayForward Technologies. Exclusively made for Fire Phone, it will rely on the device’s Dynamic Perspective capabilities to give ambiance to the realistically rendered setting. Tales from Deep Space is a 2.5D platforming adventure that follows E, a traveling salesman, and CASI, his luggage-droid, as they try to escape Big Moon, the "most eccentric space station in the galaxy." Developed in partnership with Frontier Developments, the game will feature a mix of action and puzzle-solving. Built for the Fire tablets, players can toggle between the two main character in single-player, or have two players control the duo simultaneously in local co-op. CreepStorm is a cartoon horror role-playing game wherein players are tasked with hunting the undead by setting up a perimeter of vampire hunters. A take on the traditional tower defense-style strategy game, this variation is being developed in partnership with Happy Tuesday. It will have both a single-player campaign and competitive online multiplayer mode. According to IGN, Amazon also announced a fourth game called ‘The Unmaking,’ which is a castle-defense game for the Fire tablets that allows a player to position atop the fortress wall, there to man the artillery to stem the advance of ravenous hordes. By partnering with AppStream, it became possible to put 2000 to 4000 advancing enemies onscreen at once for the game. Til Morning’s Light is scheduled to be available on the Fire Phone within this month while Tales from Deep Space, CreepStorm and The Unmaking may be ready for the Fire tablets by year end.

    Wolverine 3 Movie and ‘Wolverine -3 Months to Die’ Comic Series Are Set to Close the Final Chapter in the Canadian X-Man’s Life Story

    Wolverine 3 Movie and ‘Wolverine -3 Months to Die’ Comic Series Are Set to Close the Final Chapter in the Canadian X-Man’s Life Story Wolverine 3 will be released to theaters on March 3, 2017, according to the official 20th Century Fox announcement. David James Kelly will be writing the script. James Mangold will return to direct the third Wolverine film and Hugh Jackman will be back to reprise his signature role. The plot for the third solo Wolverine film is still in development so there is no official Wolverine 3 trailer just yet. The production work on Wolverine 3 will likely begin after filming wraps up for X-Men: Apocalypse, which is due to be released on May 27, 2016. Wolverine 3 may be the last in the franchise, or at least the last in which Jackman will play Wolverine. In a talk with SFX, the 45-year old actor was asked where he would want to take his character next in the upcoming film. Jackman replied, “I don’t know yet. We’re talking it through. I still am very ambitious for the character. And tonally, I feel like we corrected the ship with the last one. But I feel we can still go further, in a way. If I did another one I’m 99.9% sure it would be the last, so that will inform what it is for me....Well, of course we’re looking at ‘Old Man Logan,” because that may be the only option left at this point!” Now, with respect to the Marvel comic book Wolverine, he too was supposed to have been ‘killed’ off beginning this September in a four-part serialized story entitled Wolverine#8 “3 Months to Die.” In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Michael Marts, an executive editor at Marvel, said: “For a long time, no matter who Wolverine was battling, he’s been the eternal victor. He almost always comes out on top. Now he finally comes up against an adversary that he cannot win against, he cannot fight. What does that mean for this character who’s been around for hundred years?” Marts added that Marvel is taking the death of one of its flagship characters “from a standpoint of finality, of closure.” Following Wolverine’s death, Marvel is set to launch “The Logan Legacy” weekly comic book series according to a report from MTV.
