Pink Lends Voice to Happy Feet 2 Soundtrack

If you’re a fan of penguins, dancing, and Pink (never really thought it was possible for a movie to showcase all of those at the same time…), then you’d better be heading to the movies on November 18th for the release of Happy Feet 2 in 3D!

The movie not only features star singer Pink in the movie as Gloria, but it even features her vocals on multiple songs from the soundtrack, highlighted by a song of her own, Bridge of Light.

This song works perfectly for a movie because the instrumental aspects of it are very moving with simple lyrics to display emotions. Lyrically, the song isn’t the strongest, but when you take into consideration that it’s part of the soundtrack of Happy Feet 2, it kind of makes sense.

The song talks about how even in the darkest situations all you need is love to build a bridge of light. So if you’re in the kind of mood that only a bridge of light could solve, be sure to give it a listen.

The Joy Formidable Don’t Care About ‘Twilight’

Although getting included on the Breaking Dawn soundtrack is huge, The Joy Formidable aren’t fazed. In fact they aren’t that familiar with Twilight, and they have no idea what they are in for.

“I can’t say I’ve ever read one. I haven’t seen the films either, but I have heard the soundtracks, and I was familiar with some of the songs, you know, Metric and the Black Keys,” frontwoman Ritzy Bryan told MTV News. “So I was more aware of the musical side of ‘Twilight’ than I was the books or the movies. Actually, I know very little [about the books]. I know they’re about vampires, and I know they’ve connected very much with an audience … so they’re obviously much enjoyed by a lot of people.”

That’s crazy!

Attention all Jersey Shore fans, get those fists pumping. On July 20, MTV and Universal Republic Records are going to release the Jersey Shore Soundtrack, reports MTV News.

The soundtrack will consist of a collection of songs inspired by the hit series.

The first single off of the album is “I Like It,” which is a collaboration between Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull. The club-ready single will be available on iTunes, May 5.

The album features other artists including: Lil Jon, LMFAO, Taio Cruz and Akon.

“MTV is excited to join forces with Universal Republic Records to bring the Jersey Shore Soundtrack to the show’s fans,” Amy Doyle, executive vice president of music and talent programming strategy, MTV brands, said. “From the clubs to the gym, there is going to be a lot of fist pumping and booty shaking going on this summer, and that’s just at my house.”

A deluxe edition of the soundtrack will also be available, which will include a bonus second CD, packed with music inspired by the first season of the “Shore.”

But don’t worry, the fist pumping doesn’t end there.

Fans still have the second season of the show to look forward to. The show will follow Snooki, the Situation, JWoww, DJ Pauly D and the gang down to Miami’s South Beach before returning to their house in Seaside Heights.

The second season will be premiering on Thursday, July 29 at 10 p.m. on MTV.

Avril Lavigne added to Alice In Wonderland Soundtrack

Posted on andPOP:

According to Variety.com, Avril Lavigne will release a new track titled “Alice Underground” for the soundtrack of Tim Burton’s upcoming remake of Alice In Wonderland.

Lavigne joins a stellar team of musicians on the soundtrack f0r the new adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic, which already includes a collaboration of Blink-182′s Mark Hoppus and Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, and a brand new track from All Time Low.

Despite the trio of bands and their pop-punk natures, Wentz assured MTV that his work with Hoppus was outside the box.

“We did a song for ‘Alice in Wonderland, and it sounds nothing like Blink or Fall Out Boy,” he said. “Mark understands songwriting on a completely different level. It’s awesome to have a chance to sit in a room with him and watch him work out a melody.”

The, right now, untitled track from All Time Low was written specifically for the movie.

The remaining unknown artists are said to be named a few at a time until the movie’s release.

Alice in Wonderland hits theaters on March 5.

Twilight’s New Moon Soundtrack Hits Number One

Had enough of vampires? Too bad. If you’re not a fan of Twilight, you’re a clear minority these days.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon soundtrack has been propelled to the Number One spot on the Billboard Top 200 after one week on the shelves and digital services, reports rollingstone.com.

The album sold an additional 153,000 copies this week – a 33 per cent increase over its debut week on sale. Tim McGraw’s Southern Voice debuted at Number Two and Michael Buble’s Crazy Love dropped to Number Three after a two-week reign at Number One.

According to current estimations, however, New Moon‘s time at the top of the charts will be short-lived. Another, and perhaps even more hyped, soundtrack is expected to take New Moon‘s place: Michael Jackson’s This Is It.

The soundtrack that coincides with the documentary film of the same name is estimated to sell 300,000 to 350,000 copies, giving the late King of Pop his sixth Number One album on the Top 200, and his first since Invincible from 2001. While Jackson’s 2003 greatest hits album Number Ones is the year’s bestselling album with 2.2 million copies sold, it was not eligible for the Top 200 when it was taking the top spot in sales following Jackson’s death on June 25.

Three other albums managed to affect the Billboard Top 20: Joss Stone’s Colour Me Free went in at Number 10 with 27,000 copies, Rammstein’s Liebe Ist Für Alle Da came in at Number 13, and Flight of the Conchords’ I Told You I Was Freaky at Number 19.

Last week’s Top 10 only suffered minimal sale decreases. The Flaming Lips felt the biggest slump as their new album Embryonic dropped from Number Eight to Number 51. Mario’s D.N.A. felt it too, falling from Number Nine to Number 40. However, Taylor Swift saw a sale increase, as did Owl City. “Fireflies,” Owl City’s Number One single off of Ocean Eyes, allowed the album to jump from Number 20 to Number Eight on a sales increase of 31 per cent.

If you haven’t heard of “Band of Skulls,” you will very soon. These UK rockers had the first ever global iTunes “Single of the Week” back in April for their debut song “I Know What I am,” and they just keep taking the rock world by storm.

The trio were voted Best Live Band at Toronto’s NXNE festival in June and are fresh off Lollapalooza. Twi-hards may already know “Band of Skulls” has been confirmed to be included alongside Radiohead and Muse in the upcoming “New Moon” Soundtrack, out in November.

The alternative rockers will be touring across Canada throughout September in support of their debut album “Baby Darling Doll Face Honey,” currently available in Canada. Canadian tour stops include Vancouver (Sept. 3), Calgary (Sept. 4), Edmonton (Sept. 5), Ottawa (Sept. 7), Montreal (Sept. 9) and Toronto (Sept. 11).

Fans Could Hear A Jonas Brothers Tune On Next ‘Twilight’ Soundtrack

Ilan Mester — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 00:04:12 +0000

Posted on andPOP:

There’s a possibility Jonas Brothers fans could hear their favourite brothers singing a track on the soundtrack for “New Moon,” the highly anticipated sequel to vampire-flick “Twilight.”

“The movie was obviously a huge success, and if they asked us to be a part of [the sequel], that would be great,” Nick Jonas told MTV News.

The “Twilight” soundtrack opened in the top spot on the Billboard albums chart upon its release in November. The soundtrack featured bands like Linkin Park, Perry Farrell, Collective Soul and Paramore.

Director Chris Weitz is set to begin filming the “Twilight” sequel “New Moon” next month. However, tracks for the film’s soundtrack have not yet been confirmed, so it is still unclear if the Jonas Brothers will be writing a song for the album.

The brothers still haven’t watched the film. “I haven’t seen it. But I have heard it’s a great movie.” Joe Jonas told MTV news.
