In preparation for his Love IV album, the singer/songwriter is getting ready to embark on a new tour, and on Thursday (February 23), he’s planning to drop a new song to commemorate the run. The Kill the Lights Tour will begin March 11 in New York, and The-Dream is dropping his new single of the same name. “The name of the song is actually ‘Kill the Lights,’ featuring my artist Casha,” he said on Wednesday’s “RapFix Live.” The song will be featured on the upcoming Love IV, which the ATL crooner estimates will be out in the spring or summer — he doesn’t want to put an exact date on it. The-Dream already dropped the LP’s first single, “ROC,” earlier this year, and in addition to his new LP, he wants to concentrate on grooming Casha, who made her first appearance on The-Dream’s free digital album 1977 singing a remake of Minnie Riperton’s “Love, Stop Making a Fool of Me.” “I’m just channeling and building her the right way and giving her the right time,” he said of his new artist. “I’m not trying to get, ‘She better come out and sell this’; I’m not doing that. She’s too talented for that.” Instead of creating microwave hits with Casha, The-Dream would rather take his time. “She’s going to sell on her own, she’s great, she’ll be fine,” he said. “I’m trying to slow-bake it.” What are you expecting from The-Dream’s new music?

Britney Spears Going For A More ‘Urban’ Sound, Danja Reveals

Producer says singer is still recording tracks for upcoming album. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Britney Spears Photo: Fame Pictures According to music producer Danja , Britney Spears is still hard at work on her March album release. The producer, who has worked with Spears on songs like “Gimme More,” “Break the Ice” and “Kill the Lights” in the past, reveals that he and the pop superstar are still working on tracks together. “Britney, I don’t have too much news, but I’m always creating something,” he told MTV News on Thursday, the same day that Spears’ first single, “Hold It Against Me,” was topping the iTunes charts . “Still recording. She still has songs to cut, but we’ll see what happens.” When asked what kinds of songs he’s throwing together for Britney , his comments echoed those he made last June. “I just took my track level up. I just wanted to make sure it’s still hard-hitting and still that same energy that people heard, but very today’s time,” he said. “So we’ll see. I don’t know what the project will end up being, but we’ll see. We did have a meeting like a year ago, and they wanted it to sound urban, hard-hitting, not so much dance, but just that similar sound.” Danja says that he has yet to actually get in the studio with the star, but he has been in conversation with her about any potential songs that might be included on her still untitled album. “Well, for me, this time around I haven’t been in with her yet,” he revealed. “It’s just been us writing and creating and really nailing a sound or a song more than anything.” In addition to working on tracks for the album, Spears is also hard at work on the video for her first single. Her choreographer Brian Friedman spoke to MTV’s “The Seven” this week, describing what fans will see when the video drops. “I think you can expect the unexpected from Britney,” he said. “She is taking risks when it comes to fashion, when it comes to choreography, when it comes to this music — she’s grown up so much, and she’s pushing 30 years old soon, so she’s a strong, independent woman and I think she wants to show that.” Related Artists Danja Britney Spears
