Yes. Especially a re-release. However, if you are doing a Remix for a song or a Remix EP just for one song then it's allowed. But your 'album' vision is not allowed

JUSTIN PERFORMS ON "FAST TIMES" ON GMA
Justin Bieber, the world phenomenon appeared on Good Morning America to perform -- TWICE!! What? Not once, but yeah -- twice! Justin Bieber performed his new single -- "Fast Times" which is from his movie and soundtrack "Fast Times at University" and on his new re-release "The Complete Dream: Complete Times". He performed the same song twice, but one time he came to stage with rappers Drake, Lil Wayne, and 2 Chainz for an encore that premiered their new Remix of the song. The remix and the original performance was well received from the audience, and critics of the performance.
Justin first stepped to stage during around 7:30 A.M. to where he performed the original song by himself. The performance was hot, even despite how cold it was getting outside! Justin burst out onto stage, and immediately the show began and the lights were on him. He performed well solo, and still gave us a choreography. He performed the song "Fast Times" only to promote the song as his current single out, and he also mentioned to buy his "The Complete Dream" album currently in stores with 4 new songs! After that GMA went back to announcing the weather and other stories, as Justin and his team got ready to do the encore performance which would happen within a few hours later. He left the stage to applause, and hugging a few fans.
ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE! Justin stepped back on the stage at around 9 A.M. when the show was coming to an end, to perform the one and only... "Fast Times" again. But this time, he came to stage with the rappers -- Drake, Lil Wayne, and 2 Chainz. The audience was immediately as you could say 'turnt', and Justin announced them all to stage. He then told them it was the "Fast Times - Remix" and they were gonna go extra fast and extra hot on this one. Justin then went to the back, as Drake went hard on his verses as he started out the remix and got a huge positive reception from the audience watching. Justin then came back to the front of the stage and sung his verses, along as the chorus came in. As the chorus came back in for a 2nd time and ended, that's when Lil Wayne rocketed in and did his verses on the song. The most acclaimed verses on the song got a huge reaction and applause from the audience, and even the cast members of Good Morning America. As he said his verses then stepped down, Justin came back and continued his verses again and as they ended -- 2 Chainz came in to end the song. 2 Chainz did his verses and also got a warm applause from the audience, as the GMA cast member came back and announced them again and they left the stage.
"Fast Times" is now available on iTunes, along with it's remix!

JUSTIN PERFORMS ON 'THE TODAY SHOW'
Justin Bieber also stopped by another morning new show today! He stopped by "The Today Show" immediately after to also perform, not one -- but two times. This time though he didn't perform the same two songs, as he did previously on the "Good Morning America" show. He performed the Fast Times Remix, then he performed "Lemme Get That". The second song, is from his re-release "The Complete Dream: Complete Times" and also a bonus track from the soundtrack -- "Fast Times at University" with an accompanying movie of the same name. The audience overall enjoyed his performances, even though they thought the ones on Good Morning America were personally better and had more energy to them then the ones he did on The Today Show.
To begin with, at around 10 A.M. he stepped on stage to announce his return to another Morning News Show. He performed "Fast Times (Remix)" which featured the rappers -- Drake, 2 Chainz, and Lil Wayne. The performance was praised as usual and went the same. Drake performed his verses before Justin started singing, Justin came in and did his verses, by the 2nd time the chorus rolled in Lil Wayne went to spit, then after that the pattern continued and ended with 2 Chainz doing his rap. People actually say they performed better here, but the overall energy was just very higher on Good Morning America.
Next, he performed his song "Lemme Get That" in which he's NEVER performed before. He stepped to the stage again at around 11 A.M., and the audience immediately got excited, as Justin told them -- "put your phones up, and get to recording!". He performed the song for the first time, and it went great. The background dancers were on point, and despite the song not being one of the highlights of the album, many still called the performance exciting and something new. The performance was better than the remix of the single "Fast Times" according to the people there too, and after that he answered a few fan questions too. He told them to go buy the new album, and to see the movie in theaters then he had to go to his next promotional spot. "Fast Times (Remix)" and "Lemme Get That" are both available on Digital Retailers, the remix being for a special $0.69 - and "Lemme Get That" being the standard $1.29. Make sure to buy yourself the songs!

Justin Bieber does his 3rd ever Physical Release! The single -- "Fast Times" from his soundtrack/movie "Fast Times at University" also appearing on his new re-release "The Complete Dream: Complete Times" which hits stores physically is being released to some stores. Small chain stores, and drug stores such as -- CVS, Walgreens, Fye, etc are now carrying PHYSICAL copies of the single. The single was released a week ago, and has already entered among the Top 5 on Charts. Justin Bieber is promoting the single this week again, and this is a part of the promotion plan.
The Physical CD of "Fast Times" actually comes with 2 CD's. It's also showing the single artwork of the original version on the front of the CD packaging, and the design throughout the CD packaging is yellow among black.
CD 1 is the original "Fast Times" which comes with the artwork of the cover of it, and the tracklisting -- the tracklisting to the CD 1 is:
1. Fast Times
2. Fast Times (Ralphie Rosario Remix)
3. Fast Times (Radio Edit)
4. Fast Times (Clean)
CD2 inside of the packaging is the "Fast Times (Remix)" part of the Physical Release. The tracklisting of CD2 is:
1. Fast Times (Remix)
2. Fast Times (Clean Remix)
3. Fast Times (Remix + Justin's Rap)
4. Fast Times (Lil Wayne's Full Remix)
Both CD's come with it when you purchase the Physical Copy, which is in stores for a mere $1.99 compared to his previous Physical Singles being around the $2.99 mark. Limited amount of copies have been printed for the single though, only 100,000 Physical Copies were said to have been shipped out to retailers. We also do not know if this is for 1 week only, or do they plan on having this released in stores in upcoming weeks. Justin released the Remix today all over the web, which has the rappers -- Drake, Lil Wayne, and 2 Chainz for those uninformed. They also performed the remix not once, but TWICE today and plan on performing it even more throughout the week. The label has gone all out for this single, and have paid the rappers checks from their bank to have them perform it with Justin.
Remixes of the single "Fast Times" are also said to be hitting Digital Retailers as soon as possible. If you don't plan on buying the Physical Copy the digital tracks are available. The original being $1.29 currently, and the remix being a hefty and risky $0.69.

COUNTDOWN TO HIS DIAMONDS
 
Selena Gomez premiered her brand new single ‘His Diamond’ on her website at midnight yesterday. The song was written by Gomez herself as well as well as the producers of the song M.I.A. and Danja. The single was premiered after a seven day countdown to the song. Selena would tweet lyrics of the song every day with ‘...’s’ at the end to intrigue fans and get them hyped up. Within the time span of every two days, Selena would give them a teaser of the Middle Eastern influenced trash. Pictures of women in burqas were posted with the title of the track on them. Pictures off of Gomez’s website are posted above. New pictures of women in beautiful burqas of various colors were posted every day until the day of the premiere. That’s when Selena gave the last teaser, the artwork featuring Gomez in a white piece of lingerie that had some beads and other material embroidered on them. With a minute and thirty second teaser to last her fans until midnight, she left them waiting. Then at midnight the song was unlocked and the audio was on her site, and on her official VEVO channel. The song was also made available for purchase on iTunes as well. After the audio premiered, there was a video of Selena speaking about the song and how much it meant to her.
Selena came up wearing a cute little dress, smiling at the camera. “You guys finally heard His Diamond. I hope you guys found the song worth the wait because I worked so hard on the song with M.I.A. and Danja. This is just the taste of what’s to come and I hope you guys are ready for it because this is just the beginning of it all. This is my catharsis and I’m finally letting everything out. This record is me as a person. Every song on it I co wrote with amazing producers and songwriters that helped me create the record I think has changed me. If you guys liked the song you can now purchase it on iTunes and pretty much on every online store you can buy music on. I’ll be performing it at the Create a Label awards tomorrow. So get ready.” Selena then waved bye to the watchers and left as a link for His Diamonds showed up at the end of the video.

Miley Cyrus to Launch Own Clothing Line
Miley Cyrus is definitely a fashion icon. Who can forget the fishnet gown, the teddy bear outfit, the nude outfit at the VMAs, the white see-thru gown and the crop tops that started a trend? And after being recognized by Fashion Group International and even having her as a presenter in their Night of Stars Awards, I guess it is pretty safe to say that Miley has established herself not only in pop culture and the music industry but also in the fashion world. And this is the reason why Miley Cyrus decided to take things to the next level and launch her very own line of clothes.
Miley’s line of clothes is called Urban Fits, a name fitting for the style that she wears and rocks every day. Miley Cyrus will receive help from long-term friend and fashion guru, Marc Jacobs, for the designs of the clothes in the collection. "I work a lot with Marc Jacobs. He kind of brought me into fashion, like, when I was 16. That was when I started being around him and just learning from him," Miley said in a recent interview. "He kind of let me inspire some of his pieces, and now I feel like it's just having the right people around you." [1] Even though she is receiving help from a fashion expert, Miley assures us that the collection will be all her and that the collection will very much reflect her crazy, wild and unique personality. Marc Jacobs will only be there to sharpen Miley’s creations and help her ideas bloom into something phenomenal.
The collection will be officially launched on Wednesday, October 30, in Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York. If the location sounds familiar to you, it is because it is the same location where Miley’s iconic MTV Video Music Awards performance was held where she twerked on Robin Thicke, violated a foam finger and basically got everyone all hot and bothered. The launch will start at 12 noon and free lunch will be served courtesy of KFC, one of Miley’s many endorsements. The event will be hosted by a close friend of Miley, radio show and American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, and Miley will be performing 5 songs during the event, one of which is her new single, Silencer, which she also performed yesterday on the debut awards. Silencer is the lead single from Miley’s album that still has no title or release date. The other four songs are unknown but, hopefully, they are new songs from her upcoming album.
Lots of fun games and contests are prepared for the event so you better be there. Miley will hold raffles and winners will get to take home a piece of their choice from the collection. To be admitted to the event, all you have to do is buy a physical copy of Silencer in music outlets near you and that will serve as your ticket to the grand event. One physical CD is equal to one admission only. The whole event will be televised later that day at 9PM EST on MTV.

ALL AT ONCE TOUR NIGHT #11: SOLDIER FIELD, CHICAGO
Taylor Swift's All At Once Tour continued tonight in Chicago at the Soldiier Field. To an audience of 51,000 people, sold out, Swift sang songs from her latest record 'All At Once' that's in stores now to the wild audience who were loud and proud to be there with Swift. With opening acts Sky Ferreira and Natalia Kills it was a jammed back show of talent She put on amazing show full of dancing, and intimate performances that despite being jammed back in a stadium, made it feel as intimate as if you were in a theater with Swift. Her vocals were lovely and she did nothing but impress and give the audience a great show. Swift's next tour date as a part of the All At Once Tour will take place on the 28th at the Ford Field in Detroit.
Setlist:
 On Fire:
The first song of the long set was 'On Fire'. A melodic guitar riff filled the sold out arena as the crowd broke out into a roar. The stage was massive with a catwalk leading onto two more walkways that stretched out into the crowd. The stage material clear, a reddish-orange light started blinking, illuminating the entire stage. It was entirely epic and just visually stunning. The rocky instrumental of On Fire started and the titantrons on stage lit up in a vivid red... It continued for about fourty seconds until it went black, cutting off the instrumental, lights and everything else. Silence filled the arena before a low bass could be heard before a big blast of fire lined the front stage a massive explosion of fire thundering through the arena. Swift was seen standing at the top of a staircase, fire lining around her and the sides of the staircase going down. She began singing and the crowd went wild. Dancers with some kind of flamethrowers began dancing on stage as Taylor sang 'On Fire'. When the chorus hit Swift retreated down the staircase the flames rising higher as Swift moved in her black hat and blouse. She hit the catwalk as the instrumental had guitar riffs, the flames shooting on sync with the riffs as Swift served vocals on the rock song that echoed through the arena. She got to the center of the stage, a stunning visual as her dancers behind her on the catwalk and main stage were dancing with fire. At the final chorus of the song flames were about fifteen feet high, making Swift look as if she was singing in front of a wall of fire. The song ended and Swift disappeared after everything went black.
Sparks Fly
Hell On Earth
In Her Eyes
You Looked At Me
Girl With The Red Lipstick:
The first song of the third act was Girl With A Red Lipstick. The stage was lit dimly by a red light and a little piano melody was playing. Up at the top of the staircase was Taylor looking into a mirror, looking at herself. Her was straight and she was brushing it before she put down the brush and pulled out her red lipstick. She applied some layers as the synth and dance oriented beat of Girl With The Red Lipstick started. She puckered in the mirror before she pulled out her red mic and started singing as she wore a long black lace dress. Tilting her head a bit she got up and punched the mirror, breaking the glass. The stage going black again, when it lit Swift was seen in her long black dress with two dancers wearing the same but in red. She began singing as shirtless male dancers lined the staircase. The pre-chorus was one and in Swift's hands were two tubes of red lipstick. Walking down the stairs she ran the two lipsticks against the guys chest as they lined her on either side. At the bottom of the staircase a sound of a buildup of Girl With The Red Lipstick was added and lights started flashing as the male dancers surrounded them, pulling off Taylor's long black dress to reveal a black lace corset piece. The same was done with the dancers but theres was red as Swift continued singing, She did a lot of intimate interactions with her dancers, spelling out the words "I'm not a *****" on their chests before smirking and the stage turning red as a dubstep breakdown bridged the gap between the bridge of the song and the final chorus. During the final chorus Swift sang before her background vocalists took over as she began strutting down the runway applying red lipstick, her dancers on either side of her. When she reached the end, Taylor threw the lipstick behind her, it landing on the stage as a big red explosion with smoke filled the stage as it went dark, the stage empty again
I Knew You Were Trouble:
The performance of the biggest single off Swift's album RED started off with Swift coming out of the stage with some dancers as the crowd went wild as she smirked in her sexy black corset. She sang as her dancers did innovative acrobatics around her before the chorus hit and she started doing a choreographic routine with them. She then moved to the catwalk during the second chorus where they all lined up and would fall when Swift would pass them. During the pre-chorus- the stage under them lit up in quick colors before the second chorus hit and she moved further out on to the stage. When she got to the bridge she served some vocals before a dubstep breakdown hit and she and her dancers began doing more dancing. The lights flashed wildly as she danced and her dancers then picked her up where she sat on their shoulders as they carried her back to the main stage. There she sang the final chorus as black smoke hit the stage.
Serenity
All At Once
Taylor performed the title track of the album with just her and the mic stand, a spotlight over head as she owned the song with amazing vocals. Possibly the best vocal performance of the night, she sent chills down people's spines, surprising the world with vocals that no one had ever heard from her. She slayed the hell out of the song, the country power ballad perhaps the best performance of the night
Doesn't Feel Like Home with Miley Cyrus
Taylor performed the only collab on her album Doesn't Feel Like Home. With the instrumental beginning, the stage was lit in a heaven like hint of pink and out of nowhere Miley and Taylor rose from the stage in beautiful pink dresses that matched the stage. Miley sang first, sounding flawless. And then Taylor sang her verse and chorus. They absolutely slayed the bridge with adlibs, both sounding like country legends on the country anthem. The end was beautiful as the visuals were gorgeous as both superstars slayed vocally. They held hands and walked down the catwalk, hitting high notes on the way before bowing.
Red
Holy Ground
You Belong With Me
Dark Blue Tennessee
Dear John
Enemy
Silence
All Too Well
My Goodbye To You
Find Myself
She Loves You Better Than I Do
Taylor performed her official second single ‘She Loves You Better Than I Do’Dressed in a dark red printed dress, Taylor sat center stage with just a microphone to sing the fragile ballad. Swift’s vocals were raw and emotional on the performance, those in the audience and the ones at home hearing in the pain in her voice. The former flame who was the inspiration of the song was assumed to be in the audience when Swift performed. Swift made it to the bridge before she started to get upset, tearing up. By the end of the performance Taylor had began fully crying, everyone giving her a standing ovation, putting a slight smile on her face before all faded to black
Surprise Song: White Horse
Tattooed Lines
The last song of Swift's long set was Tattooed Lines. All the screens turned to black and it was just Taylor and a spotlight, Swift wearing a dress and cowboy boots. Her hair was curled and it was literally a flashback to 2006. Swift ended the show with the emotional ballad, her vocals emotional and stunning. Before ending the show she teared up a bit and thanked the audience for coming.
Encore: Love Story
Next Date: 10/28 Ford Field, Detroit

Taylor Swift performed on The X Factor Mexico this week, performing the current and third song that was chosen as the third song off of Taylor Swifts fifth official full length studio album titled 'All At Once'. Girl With The Red Lipstick has become a Beth successful song for Taylor Swift so far as it's taken over pop radio and other formats on *radio all around the world. Today a performance on The X Factor Mexico aired of Taylor performing the song. It was stunning, Taylor taking the stage with the stage full of props and very high tech and advanced visuals. Like holograms and such, the performance was very very futuristic when it led up to the visuals. Taylor's dancing was beautiful and she seemed right at home on the X Factor stage with the dancers and such. She was intimate with the dancers giving the performance that touch of confidence and sexiness. Her vocals were on point and she hands down delivered the best performance this season on the Mexican version of the X Factor. The judges, like Queen Belinda clapped for her and gave her some major and well deserved applause. When speaking on the advice for the contestants she was sweet. “They should just put their best forward especially this far in the competition. I think this is the point where you should show people what you’re really capable of”.

SELENA GOMEZ PERFORMS ON SURPRISE SURPRISE
Selena Gomez released the lead single off her yet to be titled upcoming album yesterday at midnight. The song is very Arabian influenced just like one of the lead singles off of her album ‘Stars Dance’ was. ‘Come & Get It’ was more reminiscent of Indian and world beat influences unlike ‘His Diamonds’ which is very Middle Eastern vibed. Selena was in the UK right after giving the song it’s debut performances on the Create A Label debut award show and the NBA Half Time show, in both which were met with good reception by viewers and critics, admiring Gomez’s new profound stage and vocal presence.
After giving a interview and performance of the song on Graham Norton, her interview talking about the MIA and Danja produced song, she stopped by on Surprise Surprise! to perform the song for everyone in the audience. The performance was very quick but still had an amazing set up. It wasn’t as big as her Create A Label performance was due to stage size but she made it work as she walked onto the stage after rising up out of it, wearing a latex black top and shorts that had fabric coming from it. She wore a burqa as two dancers came from the sides of the stage wearing black burqas as well, except that there’s wasn’t embroidered with little diamonds like Selena’s was. The stood next but a little behind her as the intro kicked in and soon enough Selena was singing the first verse through a headpiece behind her burqa. Her voice sounded a bit raspy and tired but still on par with her performance at the NBA Half Time Show, then again she was singing completely live during this performance. The pre chorus kicked in and Selena began doing some new slick choreography with her dancers that involved lots od twirling and hand movements. The chorus dancing kicked in and Selena began lipping due to the hardcore and heavy dancing it involved. The second verse was unfortunately removed due to time constraints but she made it work as her dancers stripped Selena from her burqa, revealing Selena to wear a head piece of roses that were black. her dancers then stripped from theirs and they finished off the Arabic influenced chorus with another dance that was in synch with the final chorus. Selena finished off the perfomrance with an epic pose as she received applause.

Paige's "Thank You"'s
"First of all, I'd like to thank God, if there really is one, for blessing me with every opportunity I've ever been given that would lead up to the creation and completion of this album. I've never been one hundred percent sure on my religion, and I've never been sure there's a god, but if there is, I thank you so much for everything.
Second, I thank my manager, Carlton McGuire. Thank you for putting up with my diva moods & everything I did during this album. Also, sorry about throwing that vase at you that one time.
Third, I'd like to thank all the other artists I collaborated with on the album. I love all of you so much. Sean and Nate, you two are so much f**king fun. Sky, you're probably one of the coolest girls I know on earth, and if you're down, hit me up for some coke... Kidding! Cliff, I know you hate when I call you that, but you're my Cliff now; call me sometime. Justin, you're super chill; love you, kid. And Selena, lord, you were great, like everyone else; if you need anything, call me!
Next, I'd like to thank every single person I've worked with for the writing and production of this album. Luke, Henry, Bonnie, Joel, Mathieu, Elof, Aino, Caroline, Robert, Gareth, Greg, Wesley, Josh, other Josh, Oliver, Nate, Sean, Sebastian, Steve, Axel, Cliff, Benny, other Benny, Martin, Max, Julie, Emily, Tove, Aaron...... Everyone. All of you are so amazing for helping me work and complete this album, and all of you know I love you.
Thanks to all the guys down at Written Without Warrant for not dropping me. I can go on about the times I've probably threatened to murder all of you (Womanly problems) or something along the lines of that, but still, I love all of you.
And of course, thanks to my parents, Nick and Amanda, for bringing me into this world, raising me (Let's go with that), and everything you've done for me. Along with that, thank you Angel, for not leaking this album despite the amount of times you said you would. Someone should remind me not to give you my s**t next time, but still, I love you, sis!
And to literally everyone I worked with on this-- THANK YOU SO MUCH!"
Poem & Letter written for the Fans
"In a town where I could not see
In a world where I could not breathe
I chose to run away from it all
To a place where I could be me
And a man stepped up
All dressed in black
And he told me that
He had come to take me back
To that town where I could not see
To the world where I could not breathe
I tried to tell him to let me go
To just leave me be
I screamed and I kicked
And I ran away again
Now I look back on it
I was so smart back then
Now I sit in a boring life
Doing nothing but dreaming
About how everyone is bored
And no one is seeing
I realize I'd made the right choice
That I'd done something right
I did what I had to do
To win this eternal fight
I made my life for me
And I'd do it all again
It wasn't temporary
This life would never end
In a town where I could not see
In a town where I could not breathe
I chose to run away from it all
I chose to be free"
"Hey guys--
I love all of you so much. You have no idea. I wouldn't be anywhere if it weren't for my fans, and I would have nothing to live for...
You all mean the world to me. Every single one of you add up to another piece of me... Sorry if that's really corny, it's just how I feel.
You all mean so much to me, it's hard to really just put it in words without repeating myself over and over again... I just love all of you so, so much, and I'm so glad I have all of you here to listen to this music, watch my movies, and everything... If I didn't have you guys, I would be doing all of this for nothing.
Again, thank you so much, and I can't wait for you to see some of my future s**t.
YOU ALL F**KIN' ROCK!
Love,
Paige

Track-by-Track Overview
"Freak of Nature"
Opening the album with a fierceness. "Freak of Nature" serves as the introduction to Paige's artist bravery. The song is an electro banger, with pounding drums and sizzling synths with an electronic bass. Paige sings about being a weird girl, a person on the spot all the time, an odd person in a crowd, a freak of nature ("I'm a freak, a f-f-f-f-freak of nature"). The song remains consistent in its clubbiness, not slowing down at all.
"Like the Others"
Another club banger, "Like the Others", (Ironically) like the previous song, sends a message of setting Paige apart from others. It's a fast-paced, slightly-rock influenced song, obviously dominated by the musical type of the featured guest, 3OH!3, with a midtempo verse but an extremely fast-paced chorus with banging drums and rattles and crashes as Paige sings in a back-and-forth way with 3OH!3 about not wanting to be written off as a clone.
"Supermodel"
Probably one of the fiercest songs on the album, "Supermodel" features Paige sing-talking like a fierce, narcissistic, shallow model, including a spoken intro from a woman talking to a model practicing on a runway. The song features a heavy, EDM beat under most of it, with heavy bass and pounding drums, typical from its producers. Paige sings about luxuries she has, including designer clothes by name, in between yelling command-like runway moves ("STRUT, TURN, WALK, POSE, MOVE, SPIN, DANCE WORK").
"High"
One of the songs Paige released before the album as a teaser, the final version is the same, with a bass that begins low but eventually bubbles up to a proper club song without being too fast-paced or over dominating. Everything is the same as the demo version posted before, though the song features Sky Ferreira singing parts Paige did in the demo. Together, the two girls sing about a love that has died, yet remains in their bodies like a drug ("I think I'm high again").
"Somewhere Up Here"
The first sign of a slow song, "Somewhere Up Here" features the sound of a life support machine along with slow, dwindling drums similar to Iggy Pop's "Nightclubbing". However, throughout the song, a heavy, crunchy bass guitar builds, adding a depressing feel to the song as Paige drones and sings on like a siren about finding her true love no matter how hard she has to look ("No matter what, I'll end up with you").
"Feels Like Love"
At a listening party hosted three days ago, some select fans that listened were under the impression that this song was about David; Paige quickly shut this down. Resembling Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" in general structure and sound, "Feels Like Love" features Paige with dramatic, pulled-out vocals over a roaring, rave-like bass and T.I. spitting out a rapid-fire rap about Paige falling in love with a dangerous man and T.I. warning her that the man's no good for her.
"Ready for the Weekend"
The familiar lead single, it's a complextro masterpiece. Nothing more.
"Spring Break"
Featuring Justin Bieber, "Spring Break" shows Paige getting more rowdy than ever. This track, along with the following, were confirmed to be promo singles released this week as promotion for the album. A dubstep/drum & bass anthem, "Spring Break" features Paige and Justin in a mix between singing & rapping about a party during spring break, along with generally wanting to be free, get crazy and let go of all your troubles. Perfect for any frat party.
"Tonight"
Probably the only really "generic" song on the album, "Tonight" features Paige singing about forgetting about everyone else, and just partying on her own since she'd rather be alone than be bored with others. Features an acoustic guitar with stomping drums before turning into a total, bass-heavy club banger in the chorus. It's good for dancing, but could easily be done by Katy Perry.
"Dance of Death (Danse Macabre)"
The most intricate, and longest, song on the album, "Dance of Death" samples an orchestra playing "Danse Macabre" by Camille Saint-Saëns, a dark, Halloween-perfect song about the dead rising up to dance on Halloween night. Paige sings lyrics that fit the orchestral song, mentioning the dead rising up, Death playing a fiddle to orchestrate the dance, and at the end, the dead returning to their graves. It mixes between the orchestral piece and complextro beats, but it manages to make the two mix together perfectly in a danceable rave.
"Garden of Eden"
One of the "three ballads" on the full album, "Garden of Eden" features gentle, atmospheric sounds, including birds tweeting, the sound of water gurgling, and wind in the trees. The only accompanying instrumental would be a gently piano and the occasional drum beat, but generally, the song is nature-oriented. It features Paige singing from Eve's point of view, singing about living peacefully before being deceived into Original Sin. Paige seems helpless in the song after the first chorus, singing tragically about how awful she feels about the Sin. In the middle 8, there is a stomping drum, being the most upbeat part of the song as Paige/Eve realizes Original Sin needed to occur for the world to work perfectly before it goes back to a sad chorus.
"Love Is the End"
A triumphant end to the standard album, "Love Is the End" seems perfect for some children's movie while still being able to be adult enough to have fun. The song features a pounding drum with airy synths, along with Paige singing melodramatic, romantic lyrics about love being the end to every great story.
"Graveyard"
A haunting song to begin the deluxe tracks, "Graveyard" recalls "Dance of Death", being death oriented. However, it features crunchy bass and stomping drums, with the occasional rattle or crack and crash, being a good, chaotic dance song while still being dark, haunting and ominous. Paige sings about her heart being a graveyard for all the past lovers. The song makes a dramatic change for the last chorus, being more upbeat and positive as she realizes she's in love and she and her heart are free of the death and sadness.
"Empty"
A danceable song with still sad lyrics, Paige sings about her heart being empty over small, subtle beats in the verses. However, the chorus takes a dramatic turn with a synthy buildup, obviously the producer Benny Benassi, before it breaks into a typical dance beat, similar to Benassi's productions on Kelis' "Emancipate".
"All I Have"
The final ballad on the song, and also produced by deadmau5, "All I Have" features bubbling synths similar to deadmau5's song "The Veldt", while being redeemed by Paige's perfect vocals as she sings about her life being empty, yet managing to hold onto love as the only thing she has or needs.
"Shame"
A sassy end to the album, "Shame" features Selena Gomez and Paige singing back and forth for most of the song over a danceable, club-ready beat with clapping drums and bubbling bass. The song erupts into a chorus, with perfect mixes of generic aspects and unique synths, as the two girls sing about not caring that the world criticizes them and that the whole world sees them as shameless, naughty girls. The middle 8 features the two talking to each other, generally not caring about what people have to say.
Be sure to buy "Ready for the Weekend", "Tonight" and "Spring Break" on iTunes and Amazon as well!

Ke$ha has released her brand new album Gladiator today. It has 15 songs on the standard edition and 20 songs on the deluxe edition. It features her platinum hit Cold Hands and a brand new single called Supernatural.
The album was met with positive reviews. Ke$ha went on several talk shows and radios to talk about the album and now she's here to perform both singles.
The stage was dark, you could hear slow footsteps on the stage.
Ke$ha came on wearing a large dark blue jacket, gloves, a hat, warm shoes and trousers.
She began singing her #4 peaking lead single Cold Hands. She was in the middle of the stage beside a microphone.
The verse was slower than the original and Ke$ha had many more high notes in it.
The chorus began and it started snowing from the top of the stage. She looked up and smiled.
Ke$ha looked back at the crowd just as her dancers came out. They wore black ripped clothes. She took off the coat, shoes, gloves and hat and they ripped off the trousers.
Underneath she was wearing and outfit that went from the top of her legs to her neck. Her arms were also exposed.
The instrumental to Supernatural began playing and the audience cheered.
She sang the chorus and danced and sang during the verse. The second chorus began and the dancers lifted Ke$ha off her feet.
She continued singing as the put her on a large throne. The second verse began and she stood up on the throne.
She sang/rapped the verse and skipped the 3rd chorus. Ke$ha danced with her dancers during the instrumental bridge.
She finished the performance with an amazing high note.
