According to Target's website, they will have an exclusive edition of Donnie Klang's "Just a Rolling Stone" that features a "30-min. DVD of interviews and more." I'll try to get my hands on a copy to let you know what it contains.
For the past couple of days, I have been lisening to "Just a Rolling Stone" a lot, through MTV's The Leak. I have to say, I love the album. It's very, very solid. Donnie's great on it and the production is great.
My top 5 favorite tracks are:
1. "Take You There"
2. "Dr. Love"
3. "Which One"
4. "Hollywood Girl"
5. "My Idol"
I also like "Pick It Up," "Pretty Girls Cry," "Not a Love Song" and "Love in Stereo." But, even the other songs are listenable and the interludes are cool, as well. So, in other words, this is an album that I am comfortably listen to from front to back.
Donnie Klang's debut album will have a Circuit City exclusive bonus track. It's called "Beautiful Escape" and you can purchase this version of the album online on the Circuit City website.
Glenn Gamboa of Newsday has a great feature on Donnie Klang.
The most immediate track is the first single, "Take You There," featuring Combs, which gave Klang another out-of-body experience. "I had just finished the single after 20-something hours straight in the studio - I was exhausted - and I was in the car about halfway home to Long Island and Diddy calls and was like, 'Come back to the city, I want to test it out in clubs,'" Klang says. "So it's like 3 a.m. and I go back to the city and we go to this one spot and Jay-Z and Beyonc� are in there, which was crazy. Diddy's playing the song on loop and then we went to the next spot. We were in the limo and he says, 'I want the video to be about this night and what happens after the clubs.'"
Of course, what Combs wants, Combs almost always gets. The video for "Take You There" is a night on the town with Klang and Combs - and too many young ladies to count. "When we did that video in March in Hollywood, it was just crazy," Klang says. "I remember being in elementary school watching all the Bad Boy videos. Now, not only am I in one, not only am I signed to Bad Boy, but Diddy is in my video. That's crazy."
Watch below for the third "Just a Rolling Stone" webisode, titled "Anger." I wish the finishing graphic on these was better. You can hardly read it.
You can listen to Donnie Klang's new album, "Just a Rolling Stone," in full on MTV's The Leak.
Bad Boy has started posting what they are referring to as "Just A Rolling Stone" webisodes. You can watch the first two below. They are titled "Love" and "Jealousy," respectively.
Check out some new Donnie Klang, "My Bedroom," in our audio player. Though it sounds like a complete song, it could be a snippet, as it's only 2 minutes long.
Donnie Klang will be appearing at City Bar in downtown Lafayette, Louisana at 7:45 PM, to watch Making the Band 4 at 8. This is according to a bulletin posted on his MySpace.
As Donnie announces in the video below, he will be on the morning show on CW11 on September 2, the day that his debut album, "Just a Rolling Stone," will be released.
The Examiner.com's Video Game Examiner spoke with Donnie Klang about his video gaming habits.
�I was addicted,� Klang admitted. �Me and my friends, we would have these battles and we would get in arguments that would end up in fist fights! You don�t understand; we got really competitive about it. I�m very competitive; I have a very competitive spirit. But we would play NBA Live and online I would play Star Wars: Jedi Knight and Unreal Tournament. I used to be online for hours playing those games. Am I nerd? I really was� actually, I still am a nerd.�
There will be a live chat with Donnie Klang after the premiere of Making the Band 4 tomorrow night. The show starts at 9:00 PM ET and the live chat starts at 10:00 PM ET. It'll be on Donnie's official website.
Earlier today, I interviewed Donnie Klang, just a few short weeks before the release of his debut album, "Just a Rolling Stone".
Donnie Klang's story is a bit of a fairy tale, thus far. As a grade schooler in New York, Klang was a big Bad Boy and Diddy fan, even performing "Mo Money Mo Problems" in his school's sixth grade talent show. After beating out thousands and thousands of applicants, he came away with a solo deal on the very label he idolized. He went from performing Diddy's verse in said talent show, to having Diddy on his first single and by his side, in his first video. Can you write it any better? I spoke to Klang about his Bad Boy fandom, his upcoming album, and more.
