Justin Bieber Previews Next Album

Don't worry, fans: Justin Bieber won't be promoting perfume forever.

The singer is already planning his next album, although it's unlikely to hit stores any time soon. In an interview with MTV, Justin said of the eventual CD:

"I want to] write a lot myself. I will be working with a lot of other producers and stuff like that, but I'm just writing a lot, writing on tour."

Fans have plenty of options to listen to until Bieber does take over the charts with his next release, of course. He's already come out with (deep breath...) My World, My World 2.0, Never Say Never - The Remixes and My Worlds Acoustic.

Expect to hear more of the latter down the road.

"I've done a lot on my acoustic guitar, so it's gonna have that vibe. I'm not gonna really limit myself... I know there's country music, there's rock music, but my music is different. My voice is not meant for any style. I just want to make music."

Should we bother to ask: Are you excited for a new album from Justin Bieber?

Justin Bieber to be limitless on next album

For the last year, Justin Bieber has been promoting himself through such endeavors as his box-office hit, Never Say Never, and his new perfume, Someday. Now he just wants to get back to his music.

The 17-year-old has disclosed information on his new album, the follow-up to 2010's My World 2.0.

"I will be working with a lot of other producers and stuff like that, but I'm just writing a lot, writing on tour," Bieber said. "I want to work a lot with myself."

At such a young age, the Canadian-born pop star has transcended genres to work with the most prominent names in music, from Rascal Flatts to Kanye West. And he claims his new project is no different.

"I've done a lot on my acoustic guitar, so it's gonna have that vibe," Bieber told MTV News. "I'm not gonna really limit myself. I think music is music, and genre — I mean, I know there's country music, there's rock music, but my music is different. My voice is not meant for any style."

DJ Wins 'My Humps' Lawsuit Against Black Eyed Peas

An American DJ has been awarded nearly $1.2 million by a jury after his song was sampled by the Black Eyed Peas in "My Humps" without his permission.

Orrin Lynn Tolliver, Jr. recorded his track "I Need A Freak" at his former collaborator James McCants' studio in the 1980s.

McCants went on to register the song with Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI), promising Tolliver, Jr. 75 per cent of the royalties and crediting him as the songwriter.

Tolliver, Jr. filed a copyright infringement suit against McCants after his track was sampled by artists, including the Black Eyed Peas' in their 2005 hit "My Humps."

On Tuesday, a New York jury ended the long-running legal battle between the former friends after declaring McCants owes $816,877.28 in profits. He was also ordered to pay Tolliver, Jr. an additional $368,704.31 copyright infringement damages, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Wilco to Self-Release 'The Whole Love' in September

Wilco are set to self-release their eighth studio album The Whole Love on September 27th. The disc will be the first full-length record released by their brand new label dBpm. When Rolling Stone checked in with frontman Jeff Tweedy earlier this year, he said that the band recorded 20 songs for what has turned out to be a concise 12-cut album. This represents the best of a period in which Tweedy penned up to 60 new tunes. "It's a pretty great time for me writing-wise," he said.


The Whole Love includes the band's new garage rock-inspired single "I Might," as well as a seven-minute track, "Art of Almost," which starts with shadowy electronics, gently turns into a haunted vocal section, then sprints into a Krautrock-style blowout. Other numbers, such as spectral ballad "Black Moon" and the jaunty title track, call back to the group's roots in country rock.

You can check out the full track listing for The Whole Love below.

"Art of Almost"
"I Might"
"Sunloathe"
"Dawned on Me"
"Black Moon"
"Born Alone"
"Open Mind"
"Capitol City"
"Standing O"
"Rising Red Lung"
"Whole Love"
"One Sunday Morning (Song for Jane Smiley's Boyfriend)"

Wilco to Release New Album 'The Whole Love' and Tour in September

Wilco are gearing up for the release of their latest album 'The Whole Love,' out Sept. 27 on the band's own label dBpm records, and now you can get a taste of what's to come with the lo-fi rocker 'I Might.'

Featuring the rough-cut sound of their 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' days, 'I Might' employs a fuzzed-out bass, playful glockenspiel, heat-searing classic rock lead lines and Jeff Tweedy's signature close-quarter vocals.

The band will be touring North America with singer Nick Lowe starting in Indianapolis, In., on Sept. 13. How do you like the new Wilco?
