B.o.B Reveals Album Title, Strange Clouds

The follow-up to his breakout The Adventures of Bobby Ray is tentatively due in ‘early spring.’ By James Montgomery B.o.B Photo: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images B.o.B teamed up with Lil Wayne on the brand-new “Strange Clouds,” and apparently he liked the result so much he’s decided to name his album after it. During an interview with Atlanta radio station V-103 , B.o.B confirmed that the follow-up to his massive The Adventures of Bobby Ray album would, in fact, be called Strange Clouds. The singer spoke about the lead-off single, saying it just seemed like the logical choice to launch the next phase of his career. ” ‘Strange Clouds’ … is the first single off my sophomore album, [which is] actually titled Strange Clouds, ” he told V-103. “Wayne actually got on it pretty quick. It was a quick turnaround. We were kind of debating on it, man, but we just felt like this is the song that should go first. I feel really strong about it and I like to take my time with music. “When you do a song with somebody, it’s basically like you’re starting a business with that person … it creates a lot of opportunities,” he continued. “I’m glad that he blessed me with a verse, man, and it’s the first single off my album, so I’m excited about it.” B.o.B added that Strange Clouds would hit stores in “early spring,” adding that, “I want it to be sooner!” Earlier this year, he told MTV News that fans should expect “some surprises” on the new disc and subsequently called it “a real special project.” And though the title track features Weezy, producer Jim Jonsin recently let it be known that folks expecting a sequel to The Adventures of Bobby Ray — and the sundry of features it, uh, featured — might be disappointed, because Strange Clouds is very much a B.o.B project. “What Bob wanted to do was go into the lab himself and spend his time creating what he wanted his album to have, the direction he wanted,” Jonsin told MTV News. “So we’re waiting on him to come back with that house that he’s built so we can go ahead and put all the fixtures in and try to help with it.” Related Artists B.o.B

Demi Lovato Hopes To Inspire Others With Her ‘Honest Journey’

Singer explains why she chose ‘Skyscraper’ as her first single instead of ‘just another dance song.’ By Jocelyn Vena Demi Lovato at the 2011 VMAs Photo: Steve Granitz/ WireImage Demi Lovato proclaimed her inner strength on the emotional power ballad, “Skyscraper,” the lead single off her album, Unbroken, which drops later this month. The track immediately connected with her fans, who have stuck by her side over the last year as she’s battled personal issues. Their support of the track, Lovato explained to MTV News last week, has given her newfound strength as she sets out to launch the next phase of her bustling music career. “When the song came out, it went #1 on iTunes instantly and it was so surprising to me,” she said at a fan meet-and-greet in Los Angeles, where Lovatics lined up for blocks to meet Demi . “I wasn’t expecting that at all. It’s been such a whirlwind, and I’ve been so blessed and so thankful for it.” In “Skyscraper,” Lovato confronts her issues — the ones for which she sought treatment last fall — because, she said, she wanted to keep her fans in the loop about her growth as a person. “I’ve been pretty honest,” she said. “My whole journey has been about telling my story and hoping that when I share my story, it inspires somebody. So, when I decided to come out with a single that was honest and about my journey and about standing strong and tall like a skyscraper, I hope that it inspired people. “I thought that there was a bigger opportunity for me to come out with a song that would inspire people, rather than it be just another dance song on the radio,” she added. Sure, “Skyscraper” has a message, but there are also some fun tracks on the album, Demi promises, including her Missy Elliott/Timbaland collabo, “All Night Long.” “The song that Missy and I did together, Timbaland’s actually on it, too, and it’s fun,” she said. “It’s about staying up all night long and singing it to the boy that you like, and it’s flirty and fun and it’s not too grown-up, but it’s grown-up enough.”
