I don't get why she waited so long to release a new song. When her last hit happened, Justin Timberlake was more popular than Justin Bieber, Rihanna was still "new" and Timbaland was the biggest producer around. The delay was not by choice. Her label, Blackground, poorly managed her and every other artist in their stable (Timbaland actually sued to get out of his contract with them). After several years of being in Limbo, Blackground signed a publishing deal with Interscope which finally gave her a way to release new music. She's been recording the whole time (around 40 songs have leaked from the sessions she had from 2007-present).

Is this real life? Somebody pinch me.
The song is solid. I'm hoping against hope it does well at radio.

She will be opening for Joe Jonas and Jay Sean on their dual headlining tour. I can't believe I have to buy tickets for a Joe Jonas concert.
Also, apparently a demo version of Disaster leaked out, and then immediately disappeared from the internet.

The video for this premieres today at 5:30 PM EST. I think it's like her video for Fearless, just made up of concert footage. I wonder if footage from her Cleveland stop will make it into this video like it did the Fearless one.

Listening to this song is like riding on the top of a Saturn V rocket. The beat is out of this world.

This album is incredible. There's not a weak track on the whole thing.

That was an act of God. He couldn't stand to see Taylor subject herself to the horrors of BEP. P.S. I saw her in concert tonight. It was awesome.

If Kanye and Jay-Z don't perform Lift Off, MTV should be charged with grand larceny for robbing the world of an incredible performance.

Jay-Z had a small, impromptu listening party last night for this. Impressions are glowing. Rolling Stone, AllHipHop.com, GQ, EW, BET, and MTV were all there. Tentative release date is August 2nd. I am weak and already preordered a deluxe edition from WatchTheThrone.com Lift Off, featuring Beyonce, is the first single and is rumored to be dropping next week, possibly on Monday courtesy of Ryan Seacrest.

Not really. It's just from a female's point of view. But she does go in on the guy.
This track is kinda, sorta, ever so slightly, freaking awesome.

JoJo publicly debuted the title track from her upcoming album during the Girls Who Rock concert tonight. And it's awesome.
