How am I supposed to love you, when you shot a bullet to my heart?
Is this what your image of love, looks like?
I'm running out of time, I can feel the temperature of my blood.
We're gazing at each other across the room, you know it's coming now.
- "War"

British four-piece girl group Neon Jungle have had outstanding success as a girl group from the UK, scoring top ten hits in their home country, United Kingdom among in other countries in Europe. But the girls have yet to dare to release outside of Europe, their record label RCA fearing that they weren't ready. Discontent grew amongst the girls along with their manager who felt the girls were ready for a global campaign. Creative differences were also a cause of discontent as the girls soon began fighting against the label, rebelling by performing unreleased songs and such at their shows. The tension grew so intense that RCA and Sony decided to release them from their contracts, wishing them luck in finding a new label. As expected record deal offers for the girls rolled out leaving them with a choice to make. Interscope, Geffen, Columbia, and Island Records were all some of the record labels that pitched deals to the girl group but the girls and their manager Analiese Bourghny were hesitant to accept. It wasn't until a last minute offer from Tigerlily Recordings that girl's immediately accepted. "We at Tigerlily Recordings had our eyes on them for awhile. We waited a good six months, waiting to see what would happen as what went on with them and RCA had made it to the public. When we found out they were free from the contract, we didn't hesitate to offer them a record deal that most people would be stupid to not accept" Tigerlily Recordings executive Vanessa Walker said outside of the press release that was held at Tigerlily Recordings headquarters today in New York City, an event that was streamed live on YouTube. Interviewers were there at the event to talk to the girls about the record deal along with their album and single that would officially be released under Tigerlily Recordings soon.
"You girls have now officially signed onto one of the biggest record labels in the music industry. How are you feeling right about now being with a new label?" A reporter from Yahoo Music questioned.
"We're feeling absolutely amazing" Amira spoke, looking over to the other girls. "How do you girls feel?"
"Absolutely amazing. You know with our past label we had plenty of creative differences. They wanted us to sing this, they wanted us to dress like this. We just wanted to be us. We're best friends who don't want to do anything but make great music. I felt we did that there but we just didn't have any input" Asami told the press in the room.
"We're just glad to be apart of a new label" Shereen said with a laugh.
"Sooner than later you'll release your brand new single under Tigerlily Recordings. When can we expect it and what can we expect?" An interviewer from AllMusic asked.
"The new single is coming really soon. As soon as we signed on we were ready to go in the studio. Tigerlily Recordings didn't hesitate to call up some producers we wanted to work with either." - Jess
"They also were nice enough to buy the rights to our old stuff so we could perform that and release it if we'd like." - Amira
"The album is being recorded currently. We can't put a date on it but we're definitely a little ways through. I would say about four songs. You guys can expect it really soon. Maybe mid August." - Asami
The girls then would make an announcement.
"But this week we're going to be releasing our song 'Braveheart' in the United States as a promotional single. Our brand new single from our upcoming album will debut this week too with a live performance on TRL this Thursday. Make sure to tune in and buy Braveheart on iTunes Worldwide now. Love you all!"

Too bad Danity Kane's underperforming like hell though  "Blackout" peaked at #8 and so did "Lemonade"  I'm hoping "Rage" can go Top Five, but the EP has to go #1

GOOD MORNING AMERICA
Neon Jungle, the four piece British girl group made their television debut today on Good Morning America where they made their debut live performance in America. But before that the girls were interviewed about their new label, upcoming record and their opinions of other girl groups in the music industry today. Being relatively unknown the United States the girls were greeted by a surprisingly large audience who were waiting outside the studio for the girls. "We were quite stunned by the turn out. We knew the girls had a few fans here but not hundreds. If anything this just reassures us of the great things that are soon to come" now co-manager Lillianna Rivers told a newspaper after the girls had finished up at the Today Show.
The girls were brought on the show about midway through, the girls coming out , wearing outfits that suited them. The girls served different looks but still looked cohesive as a group. "The Today Show here we are!" Jess shouted with a laugh as they walked over to the host would interview them. "Good morning girls! How are you?" The host asked the girls who were standing side by side with a mic in their hands. "We're doing really good. We're so happy to be in American and finally see our beautiful American fans!" Shereen said excited waving to the audience outside. "We weren't expecting such a warm response if you couldn't tell" Asami laughed, looking over at the other girls who nodded in agreement.
"Well you've released a brand new promotional single, titled 'Bravehaert. We understand the song has been released in Europe everywhere but not in the United States. What made you release an old song instead of a new track?" The host asked them. "We really didn't have time to waste when we signed on. We wanted to get our stuff out here to America. It's hard to make it here but we're determined. Our label suggested we get something out there to create buzz so we decided why not release the best single we have in the United Kingdom. That was Braveheart" Amira told the host, the other girls nodding. "Well you're performing it for us later. But we understand you're premiering a brand new single on Thursday on TRL. What's that gonna be like?" Jess took the question. "It's going to be really special and big for us. We're going to be performing for a big audience but it's the type of audience I think will be very kind and accepting to us. The single is going to be big trust me. We finish it up in the studio tonight and the demo we've recorded of it is just sick. We're really excited to play it on Thursday." "The song is also really upbeat and fun. It was produced by Ryan Tedder and his whole crew. It's really of quality and I think people here will really connect to it. It's very confident and powerful."
"You share the same label as Taylor Swift. How was it meeting her if you have?" The host asked. "Meeting Taylor was very surreal. She seems to be so famous and popular that's she intimidating almost. But when you meet her outside of an even she's so sweet and relatable. We chatted with her for about an hour after a meeting. She's really sweet and lovely girl. Someone I really respect in this industry." Amira told The Today Show. "We know you have a new album coming out soon. When's that dropping and who are you working with?" The girls took turns answering some questions about that. Here were a few. "The album should drop in a few weeks time. We've recorded about half an album. We do about two songs every night. Tigerlily Recordings did an amazing job of supplying us with demos and great writers. They also let us write too which is nice." Asami told the host and audience. "The record is just going to be us. Neon Jungle." Shereen laughed.
"What's your opinion of other girl groups?" The host asked. "We love and support other girl groups and we really don't wish anything but for them to support us too. It's hard for girl groups to find success now in the industry so I feel we should all support each other. I'm really loving the new G.R.L. single too." Amira laughed, looking over to Jess who would speak. "'Lemonade' is really good too." The girls sang a bit of each song before they took the stage to perform 'Braveheart' doing a killer routine as the audience outside went wild. You can buy Neon Jungle's latest release, promotional single 'Braveheart', on iTunes right now.

The fact that I actually voted for some stuff that didn't deserve noms just so they wouldn't be snubbed yet Gunshots ended the one that didn't get nominations. But that's cool, yeah, do your things, guys.

Hyped Music Records -- Eyeing Secret Artist
HM Records on the Secret Artist Signing:
In an elusive tell-all with Billboard's Business company, Hyped Music Records -- notably known for the best-selling artist Justin Bieber is looking to have a new top dog. "Justin is currently working on some projects; but he's slowing down. This isn't bad; he's had a career. More hits than every other artist, more than we count. But ofcourse, we can't continue the dependence. Despite being an Indie label, he was our major act that turned out big -- and we're looking to get a big new dog on our label." The label spoke to Billboard about the achievements they've already done, and what the new artist has a core and marketing for. "We're going to reveal the new artist signed with us soon, already a superstar, but tired of bad management -- we also plan to release immediately soon..." they continued.
"The artist has a mixtape they'd like to put out, you know, just to prep before the upcoming album. We're still debating whether to release a radio-single for it; but there will be a release soon".
HM on Top-Selling Artist, Justin Bieber:
"Currently, he's resting time with family -- but also working on plenty of movies. Including a little surprise movie that I'm sure fans will love, that includes other stars" they started. "He's done a little music, but he plans to start with an album next year -- and it will be interesting. He's done regular albums, Christmas albums, Soundtracks, Double Albums, etc so he does have something neat this time around. He's working on lots of small projects though -- rather than a full fledged studio album, especially one on the level of double-album 'Crossing Paths'."
HM on New Labels and Artists:
"When you reach a certain amount of success with your artists signed; there's no competition for survival. For our artists, they have competition ofcourse -- but for us, we still make our cash. I think the new labels that are doing so well with artists atop the charts now are neat, and we wish them the best of luck from our label. Some come, and some go -- the music industry feels more alive than every this season, so it's been nice to watch while we work with some of our indie artist. It's also nice to see some old labels still holding up fine ofcourse; best of luck too."

I did enjoy the video and thought it was great but it was really forgettable. No offense to you though! I know you have it in you to make a great video, you obviously can write great articles  its just gunshots wasn't something that drew my attention as much as I expected. Again, no offense to you at all.

Some things really didn't deserve to be nommed.
But lemme say, "Psycho" was one of my worst videos, and I honestly think "Gunshots" should've been in "Psycho"'s place.

It really doesn't.
Which brings me to say, there are literally only two videos that deserve their noms, both by the same artist.
