Making a text file for each article keeps you organized, and if you save for filth, makes sure you don't lose your progress.

I also have a folder on my computer here filled with all the tweet images, single/album covers, minigame screenshots (Only two, actually

I do the exact same thing!

I have all my promo planned for the week, along with the point tracking and my #1s.

I have a text file that's just "General CaL Stuff"; it has the name of the label, the artists I have signed (In case I were to sign more than Marina), a list of the promo I've done each week (I'm planning on clearing that part out each week, so I don't save every week's worth of promo), and then I keep track of my points in it, too; the point tracking one has a bunch of this **** going on:

Example (not real numbers):

145

- 5 (Releasing single)

140

+ 25 (Single going #1)

165

Checkbook balancing teas.

Cool! Sorry if I have a lot of questions.
Another one: is it also free to release a remix (of a single)?

Chris Brown VIBE Magazine Interview

Chris Brown has an interview on the new Vibe Magazine, where he speaked about his Tour, his new single Love Her 2, his private life and other things. Chris' biggest influence comes from the King of Pop. Chris made sure to pay homage to the late Jackson by emulating his signature dance moves and outfits. CB says he's a changed man and plans to be more mature in his personal life and in his music.

On The Tour:
That tour is one of the best show I've ever done, the setlist is exclusively from Imperfect Man album. And I have the chance to make a MJ tribute with the original choreographies.

On The Next Project:
I started to write the second album. I want something more R&B and mature, without auto-tune or other alternative technologies to alienate my voice. I have a vision for this project, I want to do great Urban Music. And maybe do a One-Producer-Album like Aaliyah & Timbaland, Michael Jackson & Quincy Jones or even Janet & Jerry Lewis.

Exclusive Announcement:
By the way, I will premier a new song during the US leg which will be a single and it features a legend.

New Single:
I love Her 2 will be released and with a MV on June 4th. I hope you are ready.

Every files has all the covers, fonts, and random pictures and other stuffs from each one of my artists, with some ideas of publicity, stunts and else.

All the written thing (for instance Chris Brown a it's his album Imperfect Man with all the details and everything, so Beyonce B it's her second album) Price it's the price of everything I put it down and also keep tracks of my money in it. Promo is a list of Promo I did and some ideas of what I can do.
The ZZ files, it's magazine logos and other stuffs like the parental advisory patch and all.

I seems unorganized but I am truly a mogul.

Ddd I only have Marina on my label, so I don't see any point in going into folders; it's just all Marina.

This isn't the entire folder; there's more above and below this, but it's the most important parts.

The images speak for themselves ('Shattered Light' is a concept thing that I haven't bought for points yet; it's not done, but I'm still working on it for the future.

)

'Shallow & Alone post' is the text file that has exactly what I'm going to post in a few minutes for Marina's debut EP.

'Shattered Light album' is a text file that has around 37 song information (Titles, length, writers, producers, and ideas which can be singles); it may or may not end up as an album. If it were to, not all 37 songs would make it onto the album, it would be more like 21.

'Singles lyrics' is the file that has all the lyrics I've written; mostly singles, but there are 9 songs written in there.

Mess I only keep 1 notepad where I put all the promo I did's links.

Track by Track Summary/Review:

1. "I'm Dying"

The opening track to the EP definitely sets the mood: There's a dizzying array of airy synths dancing around the place in the intro; Marina seems to make a gasp every few seconds, and there's a faded vocalization similar to the opening of "Needles and Pins (I'm Not Alright)" [SEE: Below], but it's much softer, making the listener wonder if they're really hearing it, or if it's just their imagination. She goes on about the "messy things" that have happened in her life, and why she wishes she hadn't done this or that, and why she wishes that she could go back in time and prevent her own birth. It's gloomy, but Steve Angello really makes the instrumental try to sound more on top of things. It feels almost completely Angello for the verses, and we wondered why we didn't hear any of Greg Kurstin in the song, but that's when the chorus came in: Marina describes that her life is ending, and she's not upset about it at all; things are apparently a waste, and she doesn't want to spend any more time here than necessary; she sings so over a raging, stomping kick drum and bubbling bass that could only be from Kurstin's productions; "I'm not going to lie to you, I'm dying. I'm tired of all this messiness, and I won't leave here crying; I'm completely done, the battle hasn't been won". There's a slight buildup in the chorus, and you think the song might just break into a beat, but then it just cuts back to the verse, with twinkling little sounds and an occasional drum stomp. It's only in the third verse where we really hear something new to us, where Marina cries about saying goodbye and big "I hate you"'s to people she won't miss, but the beat is almost not there; it's dwindling, and sounds like it's winding down, but that's definitely the point of it. It returns to the chorus, but it's only the bass, and then the build up once again, and then it just crashes in an end.

2. "Needles and Pins (I'm Not Alright)"

If you haven't heard this song yet, we can only say we were in shock to hear it was the tagteam of Dr. Luke and Cirkut producing it; then again, it also had help from electro producer Porter Robinson and the magnificent Rick Nowels. It's a story some of us can relate to; she loves some guy, wishes she could play it cool, but he gives her "needles and pins", and he already has some girl that's just messing up Marina's entire mind. There's a ginormous dubstep & electro drop in the middle 8 that could only be from Robinson & Cirkut, and it completely changes the game of the song; a dubstep drop may be predictable in this day and age, but this one somehow changes everything, and competitors should step it up after hearing this one. The last chorus is the most danceable part, with more synths that make you lightheaded, a stomping beat, and a raving bass line.

3. "What You Don't Have"

It was almost shocking to hear that Diplo, Calvin Harris and the girls from Icona Pop could all work together with Marina to write (and produce) a song. They all have separate sounds, but it somehow seems to work. Opens with a road-rage-like bass ("I Love It", anyone?) that would pump up any party. Marina teases a girl that has apparently tried to take her man, and shows her that no matter what materialistic things the woman has, Marina still has what she doesn't, "t**s and a fine-ass man". Diplo produces a large thump in the verses, similar to other productions he does, and then teases every few moments with a high-pitched beat that sounds like it would last longer, but then goes away before it can amount to anything. Harris really controls the chorus with another Harris-typical stomping beat that would dominate any dance floor the second it hit. Despite the fact that you'd think the beat would be alone to allow dancing, Marina continues to vocalize over it, and it works perfectly. There's no really slow part in the song, but part of the lyrics do come off as comical (Thanks a lot, Icona Pop), yet it still works amazingly. The last chorus is full of sizzles, stomps, rage and rave, and you may have to listen to it several times to even begin to comprehend all the electronic things going on in the beat.

4. "Holy Woman"

This one was definitely the highlight of the EP. There's a chaotic beat in the entire song, with both airy stabs of a synthesizer, and yet a low rumble of a bass. Hitmakers Dr. Luke & Bonnie McKee wrote the song with Marina, and electro stompers Cirkut, Kool Kojak, Benny Blanco and Ammo produced the song to perfection. It was a bit hard to grasp what the song was about, mostly because Marina goes everywhere with it ("I'm not your Holy Woman, but I can be your sinful lover", "Blood on the walls, people dead on the streets, children talking backwards and us between the sheets"), but "Holy" doesn't even begin to properly sum it up: With a dancing beat, the song is almost sinful to listen to; something this good couldn't be holy in any way. The verses are full of Cirkut and Luke, though it was almost hard to tell it was them, and Kojak manages to bring it to electro perfection with a crunchy, dancing beat underneath it that makes you forget about the fact that Luke & Cirkut produced it. The chorus is all Ammo, Kojak and Cirkut, with more stomping, dancing, sexy electro pumping and grinding everywhere in it while Marina continues to sing about God-knows-what. The third verse isn't completely dubstep, but you'd expect it to be: Ammo and Cirkut take over once again, with a complex electro (Complextro is a genre, readers) beat that stomps and growls, bound to blow out any weak speakers of the average listener; it was almost shocking to find out that Porter Robinson didn't have anything to do with this song, because it somewhat resembles his song "Spitfire" in the third verse, but is still vastly different. Marina harmonizes with herself over layered vocals as she sings, this time clearly, about the world ending and her being mistaken for a holy woman. There is a brief dubstep break that reminds us of her debut single, and then the song reaches its climax. The last chorus brings everyone in production (and Marina) together perfectly, with a mixture of everything you'd expect from them, yet it's still vastly different from anything they've done, or anything else on the EP.

5. "What You Did Wrong"

Seeing the path Marina was taking so far, you'd better expect a heartstopping dubstep song on the EP: Chase & Status, Porter Robinson & Cirkut produce the perfect drops everywhere in the song; there isn't one specific drop, because things just keep going everywhere. Marina describes an abusive lover, and sings about why he shouldn't have done any of the things he did, and why he should've paid more attention to her and her feelings. Ammo brings in the occasional crunchy, grinding beat that lasts for a few seconds, and like the other tracks, everything works perfectly. There's no real chorus, but it's not necessarily all verses; it's a mixture of everything. The wub and the electro even each other out in various sections of the song, mixed to perfection by Chase & Status and Robinson. The last thirty seconds will end your life once you wake back up after passing out from the beat.

6. "The Wrong One"

There was bound to be the obligatory "sad-song" on the album, despite the fact that most of these songs were sad enough; you'd just never know it from their instrumentals. Perhaps the most sentimental song on the album, it's definitely a story we haven't heard before: Marina thought she loved a man, and her actual "view" on him never changed, but it came over her that she wasn't ready for love, she was just "in love with the idea of being in love". There's no real beat to the song, just Marina and Liam Howe's piano. Every now and then, there's a slight build with a guitar (Julie Frost, no doubt), but it never really amounts to any lush beat. You may want to stock up your tissues for this one, because Marina's voice is heartbreaking. There are some parts where she sings quite softly, then takes a large breath and belts out the most beautiful notes you'll ever hear in music. There's one part that has a long piano rift that's more fast-paced than the funeral-paced bit the rest of the song has been, but it's definitely not upbeat. Definite tear-jerker.

Top track: "Holy Woman".

Also be sure to purchase the single "Needles and Pins (I'm Not Alright)" and "Holy Woman" and their remix EPs on iTunes and Amazon today! Also buy the music video for "Needles and Pins" on iTunes now, and bee sure to catch the music video for "Holy Woman" later tonight.

Shakira revealed in a quick sitdown that her and Selena like to hangout! One of their favorite activities? Belly dancing! "It's my favorite style of dancing, and it's also one of her favorites, so we do it together a lot. Sometimes we take classes and sometimes we just do it for fun." She also revealed info on her new music "I... have a lot of stuff planned. Fun, big, stuff and it's gonna be really exciting. I'm producing and writing most of the album myself so it's really... ME" "I can't wait to let everyone in on who I am.". Something tells us that we will be seeing LOTS of Shakira in the coming weeks

Ryan: We are on air now with Little Mix! Hello ladies, how are you liking America so far?
Perrie: We really like it so far, it's really huge and different.
Ryan:That's great, how is the new label?
Jesy: It's lovely. The people working here are amazing, and not as pushy/difficult as our previous label.

Ryan: Have you met any of the labelmates?
Leigh Anne: Um, we opened for Gwen Stefani during her concert for the album Saturday and also probably the tour, so yeah, we met her, She's really sweet and she deserved those Grammys. We haven't met Ashley yet but we will soon.
Ryan: What will the new music be like?
Jade: Well we're still recording as of now and the material is mostly pop and R&B, We are working with some really pop producers like Benny Blanco for a song and Dr. Luke etc but nothing too electronic.
Jesy: We want to release by maybe June 10th? We're trying not to rush recording too hard though because we want the songs to be good.
Perrie: Since we're trying to release before July 6th we will just have a EP or something.
Ryan: That sounds good, Any ideal collaborations?
Leigh Anne: Well Perrie might wanna collab with Zayns band, and we'd like someone like Drake or Ciara since we're aiming for R&B.
Ryan: Alright, You had a big era in the UK right? Will you perform any of your old songs still?
Perrie: I wouldn't mind performing the old ones, to be honest. They're still our songs even if we debut in America.

True to their word, the girls then performed their hit "Wings"
