Lee DeWyze Makes American Idol History

Season nine American Idol winner Lee DeWyze co-wrote all but one song on his debut album, Live It Up, and as such has become the very first American Idol winner to have writing credit on a first single.

"To see my name listed in the credits on each song was really important to me because I'm a songwriter," DeWyze says. "I also loved working with such talented writers. They all brought so much to the table and helped me flesh out my sound… I want people to relate to these songs," DeWyze explains.

"I love stories in songs and always try to write from an honest place. It's about capturing emotion, so that when you listen, it takes you back to that place. My best memories are all connected to music and I want to create those moments for other people." - more on this story

Catfish Surprise for Suzanna Choffel

Suzanna Choffel learned of her involvement in the new film Catfish in a surprising manner; through friends congratulating her after having seen it, and obviously after the documentary was already released.

In a world where increasing importance has been placed on musicians to have their work heard through alternative channels and music placement in film has become akin to competitive sport, it was the ultimate act of kismet that allowed Suzanna's version of the Jimmy Driftwood classic, "Tennessee Stud," to become a centerpiece of one the fall's most buzzed about cinematic releases.

Catfish follows a relationship developed in the digital age that goes awry, played out deceptively over social media by a young man and woman. When the man asks the woman, admittedly an avid equestrian, to send him a song she's sung about a horse, she offers an audio rip of Choffel's "Tennessee Stud." "It's funny, because I barely remember filming the original version of 'Tennessee Stud'," explains Choffel from her home in Austin. "I know it was a Valentine's Day show in 2009, and I had kind of screwed up the words, so after two days up on YouTube, and something like 50 hits, I asked my manager to take it down and delete the file. How crazy is it that in such a short time span, fate would step in, and it's a central piece of this story?" Since the original version has been erased, Choffel created a new video of "Tennessee Stud," which can be found - here

Robyn Completes Body Talk Trilogy

On November 22nd, Cherrytree Records will release Body Talk, the final in a trilogy of 2010 albums from Robyn.

Ashley Gearing Video Goes Online

Ashley Gearing fans can now watch the singer's official music video for "What You Think About Us" on television on Great American Country (GAC) and online at CMT.com.

"What You Think About Us" was directed by award-winning video director Eric Welch (Randy Houser, Rodney Atkins, Heidi Newfield) and filmed in Franklin, Tenn., as well as the neighborhoods surrounding Nashville's Belmont University and historic Music Row.

"I had so much fun making this video, especially since I was able to get some of my good friends together and let them be a part of it with me," says Gearing. "It was really cool that they got to see the other side of Ashley and what I do at 'work.' I think the video really portrays 'What You Think About Us,' because it's young and relatable - we basically just documented a carefree afternoon with me and my friends having some fun."
