LINDSAY
LOHAN
Rumors
After
recording several songs for the
soundtrack to her "Confessions
of a Teenage Drama Queen" (and one for "Freaky
Friday"
before that), Lindsay Lohan is preparing for a full-fledged second
career as a pop singer.
The actress’ debut single “Rumors” is
featured
on the Music Challenge this week.
Lindsay’s
so eager to give music a shot that she plans to take some
time
off from making movies to do it right. Singing is her first love.
“Rumors” is somewhere along the lines of hip-hop and
rock – sounding like a
cross between Britney Spears, Madonna
and Avril Lavigne. What do you think of
“Rumors”? Do
you think it’s a strong enough song to get on the Top 20
Play List? After listening to the single, what do you think of
Lindsay’s
debut effort? Be sure and log on to www.histar.com
and the Music Challenge page and vote! .
JESSE
McCARTNEY
Beautiful
Soul
Another
actor who is “doubling” as a solo recording artist is
Jesse
McCartney. He plays the role of Bradin Westerly on the hit
WB show Summerland. But
before Jesse launched his solo career,
he was a member of both the Sugar Beats and
Dream Street, which
opened for Britney Spears’ Onyx Hotel tour. His debut solo
single “Beautiful Soul” has all the right ingredients
to catapult
17-year-old Jesse into teen idol territory. It mixes
vocal sounds similar to
Justin Timberlake and Aaron Carter with
a perfect blend of soulful grooves,
infectious pop-rock hooks
and charismatic, yet mature vocals. It’s connecting with
mainstream audiences nationally and doing very well. How do you
like “Beautiful Soul”? Do you think it’ll test
well over the coming weeks of the
Music Challenge? Listen to it
at different times throughout the week to get an
accurate read
on it and then make your prediction at www.histar.com.
LIVE
We Deal In
Dreams
Modern
rock act Live has rounded up its
greatest hits and music videos
for the CD/DVD release Awake, The Best of LIVE
available next
week. The collection features 19 songs on CD, including a
previously
unreleased track from 1994, called “We Deal In Dreams”.
“We Deal In Dreams” is featured on this week’s
Music Challenge and it’s the
band’s premiere single
from the new compilation. Earlier this year, “Heaven,”
the single from the 2003 release Birds Of Pray, soared to #2 on
the
Modern Adult chart! What’s your prediction for this new
single? How do you think
it’ll do on the Music Challenge
in the weeks to come? Do you think it’ll be as
successful
as last year’s single “Heaven”? Be sure and listen
to
it a few times before casting your vote on the Star 100.7 Music
Challenge page at
www.histar.com.
MODEST
MOUSE
Float On
Modest
Mouse, the
indie-rock trio from the Northwest has their current
single, “Float On”, in this
week’s Music Challenge.
They are a band whose off-kilter sounds, herky-jerky
rhythms,
with the lead vocalist half wrapping and half singing, create
something strangely catchy (so much so, that they’ve been
together over 10
years and have a very strong fan base.) “Float
On” is definitely a song you’ll
have to listen to several
times before you can form an opinion or make a
prediction on it.
Good luck with your vote!
