Check out the video for "Got Me Going" at MTV.com. Great video.
Listen to the remix to "Got Me Going" in our audio player. It's exactly the same as the original, with a new intro and verse from rapper Fat Joe.
BallerStatus.com has an interview with Day 26.
BallerStatus.com: What was going through your minds when you got word that your album had to be recorded in five weeks?
Will: We thought it was a lot of pressure. Usually people take years to record their album. They have a huge catalogue to go from, but we notice people have been submitting songs for a long time to Bad Boy for us and we knew Diddy was going to somehow pick the best songs that were submitted. We're really happy with our project now. At first, it seemed like the impossible, but right now it's done. We love it and we're looking for great things on March 25th. ...
BallerStatus.com: Q, you actually got to know one member of Danity Kane pretty well. Ss there something there between you and Dawn?
Q: It's crazy chemistry between me and Dawn. She's a wonderful woman. I think any man would be lucky to have Dawn and to have a girl like Dawn in their life. I'm really happy we're friends. We're not together, but hopefully in the future, she is my woman.
Watch below for a performance of "Got Me Going".
I received a copy of the "Bad Boy Sampler 08" which features snippets of tracks from the upcoming albums from Day 26 ("Day 26") and Danity Kane ("Welcome to the Dollhouse"), along with an intro, interlude and outro from Diddy.
I posted a quick review of the Danity Kane section of the sampler earlier today. Now, I'll take a look at the "Day 26" tracks.
The sampler features "I'm The Reason", "Got Me Going", "In My Bed", "Come In" and "Are We In This Together". "Got Me Going", the lead single, is featured in our audio player in full, so I've heard more than just a snippet of it. I'm definitely a fan of the track - great production from Diddy and Mario Winans and great vocals from the guys.
Another up beat track, "I'm The Reason" is very solid and sounds great all the way around. "In My Bed" is slower, but still maintains a certain excitement. Of the vocals, the chorus is the highlight of the snippet I heard. Not to say the other parts weren't good, though.
Similar to "Striptease", I wasn't sure where I would place "Are We In This Together" when I first heard it. But, after listening to it a few times, it grew on me, as well, especially the chorus.
Again, the track I can't really get into is the slowest track: "Come In". It doesn't have a bad sound or anything, it just doesn't catch my ear.
All in all, "Day 26" and "Welcome to the Dollhouse" both represent albums that I'm excited about. They may have the potential to give Bad Boy back to back number 1's, though that'll be very hard to do.
Watch below for behind the scenes footage at the Day 26 album cover shoot. It has a little bit of the guys talking as well as them singing a part of "I Want You (Exclusive)" acappella.
It's on a new YouTube channel.
CTV.ca has an interview with Mike and Brian of Day 26.
"Our sound is very reminiscent of what was going on in the '90s in R&B music," says Brian. "It's real singing. It's got real emotion behind everything right down to the last word." But like any apt pupils, the boys also credit much of their newfound sound to Diddy himself.
"Diddy's a cool cat, but he's also a perfectionist," says Qwanell. "He'll push you until you want to cry. Everybody needs someone like that in their lives. Even if you think you're great he'll push to make you better. That's why I admire him."
I was just sent the tracklisting for Day 26's self titled debut album, along with the tracklisting for the iTunes and Target exclusive versions, by a source at the label. These tracklistings may not be absolutely final, but they should be pretty close. Here is the regular version of the album:
1. "I'm The Reason"
2. "Got Me Going"
3. "In My Bed"
4. "Silly Love"
5. "Come With Me"
6. "Co Star"
7. "Come In (My Door's Open)"
8. "Are We In This Together"
9. "What It Feels Like"
10. "Since You've Been Gone"
11. "If It Wasn't For You"
12. "Don't Fight The Feeling"
13. "Ain't Going"
14. "Exclusive (No Excuses)"
The tracklisting given for the iTunes exclusive version is exactly the same, except that it features three mentions of "Got Me Going". Besides one of them being the actual track, I will take a reasonable guess here and say that one of those is the video for the song. What's the other one? Who knows, it could be some sort of remix or it could just be a placeholder for an iTunes exclusive track yet to be picked.
The tracklisting for the Target exclusive version is the same except that there is a new track called "Just Should've Told You".
Day 26 will be hosting a live chat on their MySpace page at 11:00 PM ET on Monday, after the next episode of Making the Band 4.
I hope they do it differently from how the Danity Kane chat was done, last Monday, because that was a mess. There is a certain way to do celebrity chats... you have to have a moderation who picks questions and, besides that, silence. Or, at least, silence in the room where Danity Kane is. Letting everyone post freely creates too many issues.
