JAY-Z & KANYE WEST
Watch The Throne
http://watchthethrone.com/otis/
Dist: Universal Music Canada

For this project, music icons and pop culture visionaries JAY-Z and Kanye West have joined their extraordinary talents to form the group ‘THE THRONE’ and confirm the most anticipated album and touring event of the year, WATCH THE THRONE.

The longtime friends and music innovators inspired each other to new heights with their collaboration on WATCH THE THRONE recorded in person at various locations around the world. Though shrouded in secrecy, the album has already been heralded a ‘masterpiece’ by those who have heard it, and features production from The RZA, The Neptunes and Kanye’s longtime collaborator Mike Dean. The short list of featured vocals includes Frank Ocean, Beyoncé, Curtis Mayfield and Mr. Hudson. The production is classic Kanye West soul, with the two MCs trading couplets over a sample manipulated the way only West can. “Sounds so soulful, don’t you agree?” intones JAY-Z, and the two launch into a treatise on swagger, claiming their rightful place at the top. Since the track’s release, the flood of praise for the track has been nothing short of deafening.

Dist: EMI Music Canada

Jeff Bridges is produced by the actor and musician’s long-time friend and Crazy Heart collaborator, the multiple-Grammy Award-winning songwriter, musician, and producer T Bone Burnett, who is known for his work with Allison Krauss and Robert Plant, Elton John and Leon Russell, and the Grammy-winning soundtracks to O Brother, Where Are Thou?, and Walk the Line. Bridges and Burnett have been friends since meeting during the filming of the motion picture Heaven’s Gate in 1980.

Recorded in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, CA, Jeff Bridges features material by Burnett’s Crazy Heart collaborators, the late Stephen Bruton and John Goodwin, Greg Brown, and Bo Ramsey, as well as several of Bridges’ own compositions. Players on the album include keyboardist Keefus Ciancia, guitarist Marc Ribot, bassist Dennis Crouch, pedal-steel guitarist Russ Pahl, and drummer Jay Bellerose, as well as guest vocalists Rosanne Cash, Ryan Bingham, Sam Phillips, and Benji Hughes.

Dist: Universal Music Canada

Twice-Platinum artists Breaking Benjamin return this summer with a long-awaited collection of their biggest songs to date.

Including the breakthrough smash “So Cold” and continuing up to the band’s latest success with “Give Me a Sign”, the record represents songs from every facet of the band’s career as well as including the most recent hit song, a remix of the live favourite, “Blow Me Away”.

NATALIA KILLS
Perfectionist

Dist: Universal Music Canada

Natalia Kills was discovered and signed by will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas to Interscope/Cherrytree via his imprint will.i.am music group. Natalia Kill’s current focus track “Free” features will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas and was produced by Jeff Bhasker (Kanye West, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys) and No I.D.(Kanye West, Jay-Z, Common, Drake, Rick Ross, Kid Cudi). Kid Cudi was also involved in helping write the song.

THE COOL KIDS
When Fish Ride Bicycles

Dist: Universal Music Canada

In the packed confines of clubs around their hometown of Chicago and throughout the world The Cool Kids’ irresistible, hooky rhymes and club cramming beats seamlessly bridge the old and new schools of hip hop while assuring them a sure-fire path to world-wide attention. Their songs “Mikey Rocks” and “88″ have been featured in the HBO series Entourage and the game NBA Live 08, respectively.

WAGONS
Rumble, Shake And Tumble
www.wagonsmusic.com
Dist: Warner Music Canada

The title Rumble, Shake And Tumble goes a long way in describing Wagons’ rowdy roots-rock style. Their unruly sound draws upon rock ’n’ roll, country, cabaret, psychedelia and soul, held together by Henry Wagons’ entertainingly twisted vision that fuses Leon Russell’s laidback cool with fellow Aussie Nick Cave’s noir hipness. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Wagons includes drummers/bassists Mark Dawson and Si Francis, guitarists Chad Mason and Richard Blaze, and keyboardist Matthew Hassett. The album bursts forth with massive open chord riffing in the Tom Pettyish “Downlow,” to reveal the swampy stomp of “I Blew It.” The dark country epic “Love is Burning” gives way to the cuss-laced-yet-tender “Moon Into Sun” and heartbreaking ballad “My Daydreams,” which finds solid ground somewhere between Neil Young and Roy Orbison.

ATTILA
Outlawed
attilaband.com
Dist: Sony Music Canada

Attila is about to make this a nation of rebels with their new album, Outlawed. Produced by Joey Sturgis (The Devil Wears Prada), Outlawed flaunts the band’s gritty, fast-talking, swagger-heavy music that channels part Every Time I Die, part Emmure. “Our new album Outlawed is the raunchiest, wildest album we’ve ever made! For the new CD, we all agreed that we needed to go balls to the wall. It’s a huge step up from our last release, Rage! Outlawed is way heavier and catchier than anything we’ve put out, but we still kept the Attila sound that everyone has grown to love,” says frontman, Fronz.
