Vi siete mai chiesti come avrebbe cantato Ryan Tedder (dei One Republic ) una delle canzoni più belle che abbia mai scritto la quale poi è stata ceduta (per sua sfortuna) ad una bravissima Beyoncè ? Stiamo parlando di " Halo ", pezzo stupendo che ha portato molta fortuna alla sua interprete. Nel contributo audio che vi presentiamo in alto, Ryan canta il brano in modo diverso rispetto all'artista che l'ha fatta conoscere al grande pubblico: personalmente non ho gradito molto ma ciò è dovuto, forse, solo all'influenza che la voce di Beyoncè ha [...]

Il 17 novembre è una data che molti di noi stiamo aspettando con tanta pazienza: si tratta del giorno di rilascio del nuovo lavoro discografico di Leona Lewis dal titolo "Echo". Già vi abbiamo mostrato la copertina che vi riproponiamo qui accanto: adesso siamo in grado anche di segnalarvi quella che sembra essere la tracklist del disco. L'album consterà di tredici canzoni tra cui il primo singolo " Happy " (partito in sordina nella chart americana) ed un featuring con i One Republic capitanati dall'immancabile Ryan Tedder del quale la [...]

Ryan Tedder has taken time out from producing powerful, drum-heavy tracks for the likes of Kelly Clarkson and Leona Lewis to record some powerful, drum-heavy tracks with his own band: OneRepublic. And yes, the lack of a space is intentional. Have a listen to this preview of the band's brand new single 'All The Right Moves' and let us know what you think - if you can make a decision based on a poorly edited 30 second clip, that is. 'All the Right Moves' is taken from their second album 'Waking Up', released on November 17th. [...]

OneRepublic Unveil Waking Up Album Cover Sophomore Release Due Out November 17th OneRepublic have unveiled the cover to their highly anticipated sophomore album 'Waking Up'. The follow-up to their 'Dreaming Out Loud' debut is due out on November 17, 2009, and it features the powerful new single "All The Right Moves." In 2007, after seven years together as a band, OneRepublic took the [...]

Hello Carmen! If only Ryan Tedder would add more of a danceable beat to his songs.... Oh wait, it looks like someone already came up with that brilliant idea: Carmen Reece . Please may we introduce Ms Reece and her feel good single ' Right Here '. Carmen's new single recently jumped up to a not-too-shabby #16 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club song chart, FYI. Click here to view the embedded video. [...]
Hot on the heels of Ryan Tedder fending off self-plagiarizing accusations by eagle-eared listeners who picked up the similarities between his compositions for Kelly Clarkson and Beyoncé , the OneRepublic main main/inexplicably in-demand songwriter is seemingly copying himself again. After the jump, hear the new OneRepublic single "All The Right Moves" and Leona Lewis' latest single "Happy"-both of which were penned by Tedder-and tell me if I'm crazy for hearing the same damn song, albeit at slightly different speeds. Leona Lewis, "Happy" OneRepublic, [...]

In rete è apparso il nuovo singolo di Leona Lewis "Happy". Prime impressioni? Un pò deluso e un pò non. Perchè? La potenza vocale della cantante è impressionante (magnifica la parte a partire dal bridge in poi): purtroppo però la canzone non brilla per originalità, colpa forse del solito Ryan Tedder che si diverte a produrre tutti pezzi simili. In questo caso l'analogia è ancora con " Halo " di Beyoncè (e quindi anche " Already Gone " di Kelly Clarkson ): il beat sembra proprio il medesimo. E voi che [...]

First the bad news: You cannot convince me that "Happy" isn't more than just the third incarnation of "Halo"/"Already Gone." Congratulations, Ryan Tedder -you're still a one-trick schmuck. And now for the mostly good: The song is very good-like, very , very good, seven plays in a row and counting good-and will (and should) undoubtedly garner the same international fanfare as "Bleeding Love"-it's just been done two or three times before. Generally, I'm loving it. Similarly, the cover art is completely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G (see above). Gorgeous! One of the best single covers of the year, [...]

Quelle che vedete qui accanto sono le copertine dei nuovi singoli di Mariah Carey e di Leona Lewis . In quella di " I Want To Know What Love Is ", Mariah viene raffigurata in uno splendido primo piano in cui viene mostrato il suo volto "angelico" (forse un riferimento al titolo del nuovo album che, vi ricordiamo, si chiamerà "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel"?). Il nuovo disco uscirà a fine settembre: dopo il salto vi mostriamo quella che sarà la tracklist ufficiale (abbastanza corposa). Invece nella cover di "Happy", Leona mostra [...]
Kelly Clarkson has revealed her freshly dyed red hair and that she's unhappy with her new single release ' Already Gone ', as it sounds too similar to Beyonce's hit tune ' Halo '. Clarkson, 27, has had to defend the track after she received criticism for its likeness to Beyonce's release, but she insists that any comparisons are down to songwriter and OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder , who worked with both artists on their respective songs. "Ryan and I met [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. The Joseph Khan-directed video for Kelly Clarkson 's 'Already Gone' has arrived, and things are really 'kicking off' with this ballad, let us tell you. According to Kelly, she wrote the song with One Republic's Ryan Tedder , who went off and secretly gave Beyonce a very similar track (' Halo ') which ended up being released before Kelly's 'All I Ever Wanted' album came out. Kelly was so peeved that she begged her label to remove 'Already Gone' [...]
After deleting his semi-confused blog post about the brouhaha involving the similarities between his compositions for Kelly Clarkson and Beyoncé earlier, songwriter Ryan Tedder has released a statement defending his integrity, the merits of both songs, and Clarkson's songwriting bona fides. Here we go... "Already Gone" is one of the best song I've written or produced since "Bleeding Love" and stands tall on it's own merits apart from "Halo". They are two entirely different songs conceptually, melodically, & lyrically and I would never try to [...]

Songwriter-for-hire Ryan Tedder responded to allegations that he Xeroxed himself when writing Beyoncé's "Halo" and Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" on his MySpace blog -or at least he did , as the post has since been deleted. But thanks to the fast cut-and-paste fingers of the Idol blogger known as MJ , it lives on in cyberspace! Hey everyone, Ryan here. So…..i'm in Europe on vacation with my wife yesterday when I get a flurry of emails with links to gossip sites and media outlets saying [...]

Our look at the closing lines of the week's biggest new-music reviews continues with a roundup of reactions to Exposed by Kristinia DeBarge (who does happen to be related to the other musical DeBarges , in case you were wondering): • " Exposed really does unveil DeBarge, who's set to open for Britney Spears this fall, as a complete package and a music marketer's dream-a teenager who can sing grown-up songs and make them feel young, and feel comfortable with everything from hip-hop to Celine Dion ballads. Her wait to [...]

I'll say upfront I'm a huge, unabashed fan of Kelly Clarkson (lest you think I don't listen to my fair share of pop music). From my first listen to her latest album, All I Ever Wanted, "Already Gone" stuck out as a surefire hit single. The backing track by Ryan Tedder (writer/producer of "Bleeding Love" and "Apologize") is built for top 40 radio, so much so that he apparently gave the same track to Beyonce, resulting in her recent single "Halo." Rolling Stone reports : Clarkson was so upset about [...]

Kelly Clarkson's third single from All I Ever Wanted is the weepy ballad "Already Gone," and the inaugural American Idol has already shown off a superior rework of the track on late-night TV . Could that rearrangement be the result of the recorded version of the track, written by OneRepublic caterwauler / inexplicably in-demand songsmith Ryan Tedder, sounding a lot like another pop song of the current moment-Beyoncé's "Halo"? Which, what do you know, was also written by Tedder! How about that! Clarkson chatted with the CBC about [...]

~ Ryan Tedder - Gravity ~ Gravity is a new track recorded by Ryan Tedder, lead vocalist of OneRepublic. I have a feeling that this might be a demo for another artist, but Ryan sounds great on the song anyways. I find that the track is similar to Beyonce's Halo , with its captivating drums. Check it out below. Listen: Link 1 / Link 2

Here we have the single cover for Kelly Clarkson 's "Already Gone." Quite nice. I do wonder how this is going to be received by the masses. Do you think anyone will catch on to the fact that this is literally the same Ryan Tedder -produced Beyoncé song they've been listening to for weeks already? Maybe not.
