It’s Tillie time. We fell in love with the alternative pop songstress’ sound when she swung by the idobi studios to perform some of her tracks—but can you blame us?

Paramore recently played on Conan O Brien the other night. I thought it was great, they played “Still Into You.” The song is their 2nd single off their latest album, and has a funk element to it.

And that’s not all – Starship also recruited newbie American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi, who co-wrote Kelly Clarkson’s “I Do Not Hook Up,” and turned to Gwen Stefani for inspiration.… Read more »
In between bites of a Cobb salad at New York’s Tribeca Grand Hotel, Gwen Stefani is explaining why No Doubt is going on tour for the first time in five years without a new album to promote. “Honestly, it’s procrastination,” she says with a sigh. “My plan was to get pregnant and write a record, but instead of writing, I just ate all the time.” Stefani laughs as she pops a tomato in her mouth. “Writing is always really hard for me – I hate it and hate it and then I do it, and I’m happy it’s done,” she… Read more »
