T-PAIN AND JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE TEAM UP ON “CAN’T BELIEVE IT” REMIX
NEW T-PAIN ALBUM THR33 RINGZ IN STORES NOW
T-PAIN TO PERFORM ON “JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE” NOVEMBER 14th AND
“SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE” NOVEMBER 22nd
Los Angeles, CA (November 13, 2008) – Grammy winners T-Pain and Justin Timberlake have teamed for a sizzling remix of “Can’t Believe It,” the breakout lead single from T-Pain’s highly anticipated new release THR33 RINGZ. The album arrived in stores earlier this week.
About Timberlake, T-Pain says: “Justin and I met about six months ago. I was working on the album in a Miami studio and he was in the room next door. He came by, I played him a few tracks and afterward he said that, out of all my songs, ‘Can’t Believe It’ was his favorite. I was shocked. Fast-forward to this week and I got a call saying Justin had hopped on ‘Can’t Believe It.’” This is an artist who rarely does remixes, and out of every hot record out there, chose to hop on mine. That’s some real amazing sh*t. I immediately called and thanked him.”
The original version of “Can’t Believe It” (featuring Lil Wayne) hit No. 1 at Urban radio and No. 2 at Rhythm X-Over and sold more than a half-million digital copies in nine weeks.
Praised by Rolling Stone as the album that "sets T-Pain apart from the rest," the much-buzzed-about THR33 RINGZ also includes follow-up hit "Chopped & Skrewed" (featuring Ludacris), which is already rocketing up the charts at urban radio, along with guest appearances by Chris Brown, TI, Mary J. Blige, Kanye West, Ciara and Akon, among others. The album follows 2005's Rappa Ternt Sanga and 2007's Epiphany, both certified gold thanks to hit singles "I'm N Luv (Wit A Stripper)" and "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')." T-Pain's bright, polished arrangements have become the in-demand sound across genres, and his scene-stealing vocal performances are among the most coveted in music. As recently pointed out in Billboard, over the course of the past two years, T-Pain has enjoyed 27 top 10 songs collectively on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Charts. Few people can accurately say that they've changed the course of music; count T-Pain among that short list.
Tune in to watch T-Pain perform “Chopped & Skrewed” on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” this Friday, November 14th and on “Saturday Night Live” November 22nd. Check local listings for times.

THR33 RINGZ
Biography
Few people can accurately say they’ve changed the course of music; count T-Pain among that short list. His bright, polished arrangements have become the in-demand sound across genres, and his scene-stealing vocal performances are among the most coveted in music. Since bursting on the scene in 2005, T-Pain has been awarded a Grammy, produced and written a plethora of chart-topping and platinum-selling singles, garnered "Songwriter of the Year" and "Producer of the Year" honors at the BMI Urban Awards and earned a BET Award. So it should come as little surprise that the musical maestro’s tremendous, self-produced third album, THR33 RINGZ, stands as a sonic odyssey brimming with innovation.
The distinctive spelling used for the album title may not hold any significance, but the meaning behind the name carries weight. “It came from people telling me that I’m running the game, that I’m the ringleader of the game,” T-Pain says humbly. “That’s where the whole circus imagery came from. I started putting it together with the idea that the circus is just like the music industry. You’ve got your different acts, all of the different animals, etc.”
THR33 RINGZ is quite the musical journey, complete with highs and lows, smash singles and unexpected twists. Lead single “Can’t Believe It” is already enjoying heavy radio and video exposure. Aided by sprinkly keys and T-Pain’s trademark vocoder, he and guest Lil Wayne talk about spoiling their respective ladies in the song. There’s good reason T-Pain’s music often connects with and speaks to women. He had plenty of training dealing with the fairer sex.
“When I was in school, I would sit and talk to a lot of girls,” T-Pain recalls. “I would listen to what they would talk about, what they want. I would try to understand the passions of a woman. That’s where my concepts come from. That’s how you know if people can relate to your songs. If you’ve heard the same elements of a story over and over again, you know there are millions of people going through this.”
Since his schoolroom listening sessions, T-Pain has kept his ears open. In fact, listening to several sob stories inspired “Therapy,” a tune where T-Pain and Kanye West talk about women who need to get themselves together. T-Pain then details relationships with negative energy on “Chopped & Screwed” a track that features Ludacris. But T-Pain’s music isn’t all about drama. He also listens to his friends when they gush about a special someone. The party track “Freeze,” for instance, grew out of conversation T-Pain had with Chris Brown. Brown, who also appears on the high-energy song, was telling T-Pain how he finds women that can dance particularly attractive.
Of course T-Pain’s long-time fans know that he especially appreciates women who dance in strip clubs. But he knows from first-hand experience how men often fall victim to DJs who switch songs up too quickly when they’ve just paid for a lap dance. Hence, the five-minute plus “Long Lap Dance.” “In Florida, strippers charge for lap dances by the song,” T-Pain explains. “If you just so happen to ask a girl for a lap dance in the middle of a song and the DJ cuts it off, you still have to pay the full price. So I just made a long song, so whenever you ask for it, you should be good. And the DJs know that they can’t cut it off, ‘cause then it wouldn’t be the ‘Long Lap Dance’ song.”
With his music being largely based on real-world encounters, it makes sense that T-Pain recorded “Reality Show,” a tune that details some of his wild experiences. “At certain times, everybody’s like, ‘I need my own reality show because the stuff I’m going through is crazy,’” T-Pain says with a laugh. “I don’t know why you’d want the world to see everything you’re going through, but nobody’s done a reality show song yet.”
Reality shows are filled with drama, and T-Pain’s existence is no different. When he gets angry, T-Pain is likely to end up rapping, as is the case on “Ring Leader Man,” “Karaoke” with DJ Khaled, and the title track. “If I’m upset, then it’s going to be a rap day,” T-Pain says with a chuckle. “I make music depending on what mood I’m in. If I’m pissed off, I can’t get on there and talk about love.”
Even though T-Pain sometimes finds himself in an angry mood, he remains grounded because of his wife and children. His family is also the inspiration for THR33 RINGZ song “Keep Going.” This acoustic tune stands as a testament to T-Pain’s dedication to his family. “I want to make sure that my kids live a good life,” he says. “I don’t want them to have to figure out the hard way what a food stamp is. I’ve slept in cars. I went through a lot in my life and I’m going to make sure that if somebody’s life is in my hands that they’re not going to have to go through that.”
Indeed, T-Pain can speak from that perspective because he knows what it is like to struggle. His Tallahassee, Florida hometown was lacking music industry opportunities and connections, so the man born Faheem Najm chose the T-Pain moniker to signify his plight. He taught himself how to make music, write songs and record music.
In 2003, T-Pain’s sly remake of Akon’s “Locked Up” caught the attention of music industry insiders, and the independent release of his “I’m Sprung” single led to a contract with Jive/Zomba.
T-Pain’s use of the vocoder made his music stand out, and his prolific, high-quality output turned him into one of music’s most oft-imitated and in-demand producers, singers and collaborators. His first two albums, 2006’s Rappa Ternt Sanga and 2007’s Epiphany, have been certified gold, thanks to hit singles such as “I’m N Luv (Wit A Stripper)” and “Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin’).” He has also collaborated with Kanye West (“Good Life”), Chris Brown (“Kiss, Kiss”), Flo Rida (“Low”), Plies (“Shawty”), and Bow Wow (“Outta My System”) for platinum singles.
Now, as T-Pain gains more control over his artistry, expect him to continue expanding his sonic and creative reach as a singer-songwriter-rapper-producer. After all, he knows the key to long-term success in the music industry is evolution. “You’ve got to be different and keep it consistent at the same time, which is super-hard to do,” T-Pain says. “I come different every time and that’s what people look for, what they expect.”
And with THR33 RINGZ, the world expects nothing less than another magical musical adventure from T-Pain. Expectation achieved.

This week, “So What” makes a big splash at radio: it is the #1 Most added song at two radio formats (Pop and Adult Contemporary), and it’s also the #1 Greatest Gainer at radio. In addition to the enthusiastic response at radio, “So What” gets a stamp of approval on Entertainment Weekly’s “10 Things We Love This Week” list: “The singer’s her old self again with this taunting, raspy rebel yell of an anthem that boasts a mean hook.”
P!nk is set to premiere her colorfully bold "So What” video (directed by David Meyers) on MTV's new show FNMTV on Friday, August 22nd, and the network will exclusively broadcast the video for 72 hours. “So What” was co-written by P!nk and produced by Max Martin, who worked with her on ‘Who Knew” and ”U + Ur Hand.”
Since her debut in 2000, P!nk (Alecia Moore) has been widely hailed as a fearlessly talented singer/songwriter, and the Pennsylvania native’s genre-defying creative risk-taking has propelled her to global stardom. To date, the chanteuse has sold 22 million albums cumulatively worldwide. Her previous albums include: her four million-unit selling debut, Can’t Take me Home (2000); her sophomore follow-up, M!ssundaztood (2001) which sold 11 million worldwide; and the 2.7 million worldwide seller Try This (2003). Her most recent effort, I’m Not Dead (2006) sold over 5 million units globally and spawned two No. 1 hits,”Who Knew” and “U + Ur Hand” along with critic/fan favorites, “Stupid Girls” and “Dear Mr. President.”

T-PAIN TO RELEASE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED
THR33 RINGZ IN FALL 2008
Hit-Maker’s Third Album to Feature Chris Brown, Ludacris, Lil Wayne and Kanye West;
New Single, “Can’t Believe It,” Currently #1 Most Added at Urban and Rhythm X-Over Radio
New York, NY – After spending much of 2007 and 2008 on the top of the charts with hits such as "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" and "Bartender" and as a producer and featured artist on tracks such as Flo-Rida’s “Low” and Chris Brown’s “Kiss Kiss,” T-Pain announced today that Jive Records will release his third studio album Thr33 Ringz in Fall 2008. With Thr33 Ringz, he is set to show everyone that he is the ring leader and, in true T-Pain fashion, he is bringing a few of his friends along for the ride.
It’s evident T-Pain has another hit on his hands with the album’s first single, “Can’t Believe It,” featuring Lil Wayne which is currently the #1 most added song this week at both Urban and Rhythm X-Over radio. A Casanova song, the track is about “getting a girl to ride with you,” says T-Pain. “Basically I got a lot of stuff on my album that’s not that simple. It’s just basically a way to calm things down,” he says.
Other tracks to be included on the album include: an up-tempo jam that is destined to be the dance floor hit of the year, “Freeze” featuring Chris Brown; a lyrically clever urban anthem “Chopped & Screwed” featuring rapper Ludacris; a personal and controversial declaration to the industry “Karaoke” featuring DJ Khaled; and collaboration with Kanye West called “Therapy.”
Tallahassee, Florida native, T-Pain burst on the scene in 2005 with his debut Rappa Ternt Sanga and the unforgettable singles “I’m Sprung” and “I’m N Luv (Wit A Stripper),” a song that maintains the title of the highest selling ring tone. T-Pain continued his success with his sophomore effort Epiphany in 2007, which spawned the #1 airplay record of the year, “Buy U a Drank” (featuring Yung Joc) and the ubiquitous #1 hit “Bartender.” In 2008, T-Pain took home his first Grammy for Best Rap Song (for “Good Life”) with Kanye West, which also garnered a BET Award, where he was the most nominated artist of the night.T-Pain (age 23) currently resides in Atlanta with his wife and children.

CLOSER: THE BEST OF SARAH MCLACHLAN TO BE RELEASED OCTOBER 7, 2008
ARISTA RECORDS TO RELEASE
CLOSER: THE BEST OF SARAH MCLACHLAN
ON OCTOBER 7, 2008
16 –Track Anthology Surveys The Spectacular Career
Of The Multi-Platinum Singer/Songwriter
And Includes Two Brand New And Previously Unissued Recordings
(New York- August 1, 2008) – On October 7th, 2008, multi-platinum Arista recording artist Sarah McLachlan will release the first best-of collection of her long and illustrious career.
Closer: The Best Of Sarah McLachlan contains 14 classic tracks personally selected by the artist from her award-winning catalog, as well as two newly recorded and previously unreleased songs, “U Want Me 2” and “Don't Give Up On Us,” working with her longtime producer Pierre Marchand. Additionally, a deluxe 2-CD version will be available, which will include the 16 song album plus a bonus disc of additional songs from Sarah's discography.
Since joining Arista two decades ago, every one of Sarah McLachlan’s studio and live albums and videos have been certified gold, platinum, or multi-platinum by the RIAA, starting with Touch (1988) and Solace (1991), both gold sellers. Her 1994 breakthrough, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (triple-platinum) was followed by the digitally enhanced multimedia version of The Freedom Sessions (1995, gold). Sarah’s landmark fifth album, the 8x-platinum Surfacing (1997), contained two Grammy Award-winning tracks, as “Building a Mystery” won for Best Female Pop Vocal, and “Last Dance” was voted Best Pop Instrumental. 1999’s triple-platinum Mirrorball, and its platinum long-form video counterpart, were both culled from that year’s Lilith Fair tour, and spun off Sarah’s third Grammy-winning performance, as “I Will Remember You” won for Best Female Pop Vocal. The double-platinum Afterglow followed in 2003, and received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album, while its opening track, “Fallen” was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal. 2007's Wintersong, was the #1 best seller on the Holiday Album charts that year, was nominated for a Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, and was certified Platinum, marking her 15th release to be certified gold, platinum, or multi-platinum by the RIAA.
Here are some of the highlights of Closer: The Best Of Sarah McLachlan:
· “Good Enough,” “Possession” – Both tracks are culled from Sarah McLachlan’s third Arista album, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (released 10/22/1993), her commercial breakthrough and first Billboard Top 50 chart entry. “…McLachlan never flinches, never takes the easy route of cliché and formula. This care and attention given to her art allows each song to stand strong individually, making the whole an extraordinary collection.” (AllMusic.com)
· “Building A Mystery” – Taken from the Diamond-certified (10X platinum) album Surfacing (released 7/15/1997), which entered the Billboard chart at Number Two, “Building A Mystery” won the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal. (“Last Dance,” a second track from Surfacing not included on the new collection, was voted Best Pop Instrumental.)
· “I Will Remember You” – Sarah McLachlan founded the legendary Lilith Tour in 1997 and her quadruple-platinum album, Mirrorball (released 6/15/1999), was recorded live during the 1999 tour. “I Will Remember You” from Mirrorball earned Sarah her third career Grammy Award, again in the category of Best Female Pop Vocal.
· “Fallen” – The opening track from Sarah’s double-platinum album Afterglow (released 11/4/2003), which reached Number Two on the Billboard Top 200. "Fallen" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal. In addition, Afterglow was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album.
· “U Want Me 2,” “Don't Give Up On Us” – Composed by Sarah McLachlan and co-produced by Sarah and Pierre Marchand, these new recordings will be a special treat for fans who eagerly await the follow-up to Afterglow, Sarah’s last album of all-original material.

Imagine the side-splitting antics of three street corner comics roasting each other in rhyme over an infectious dance track. Making you laugh aloud from line after witty line, nothing is taboo as they bring attention to holes in socks, body odor and physical defects.
Like Hip-Hop's version of the Kings of Comedy, south side Chicago-based threesome Hot Stylz did just that with their popular club track "Lookin @$$ N!**@." Made up of comedic rappers Raydio G, Krazee and Meatball, the group reaped fans from the Mid-West and across the country with humorous rhymes, up-tempo production and fluid rap flows. And they are sure to have us all cracking up with their debut album on Swagg Team/ Jive Records due later this year.
"Everybody likes to laugh. I don't care if you are a preacher or a thug. Laughter is universal," explains Raydio G. "We are all crazy, all day. That's why the music comes off so effortlessly. The music is influenced from actual events."
Indeed, the concept for "Lookin @$$ N!**@" came from their daily ritual of cracking jokes on each other. Late one night while they were partying, drinking and freestyling to instrumental beats with a handful of females on site, they decided to add a different twist to the cipher. They insulted each other in their verses. The session was so hilarious that they made it into as a song. Almost instantly, it grew legs and took off.
"From nerds to anorexics to fat people to tall people to short people, somebody is picking on somebody at all times," Krazee explains the song's popularity. "That's something we do as people. In your home, at work or wherever you may be, everybody likes to laugh."
The record became so hot that other rappers popped up by the dozens with copycat songs. In a move to set themselves aside from the rest of the pack, they posted a video of the song on YouTube. The post currently garners more than 20,000 views per day.
"That video gave us so much traffic to our MySpace page," says Raydio. "It was simple, but it made the song that much better."
Not only did they have the Internet going nuts but the single's heavy club rotation prompted platinum artist Yung Joc to sign them to his new Swagg Team imprint in January. Joc even gets into the roasting act on the censored radio remix "Lookin Boy." And with Joc at the helm, the group signed a major label deal with Jive Records.
"A lot of people say they are bringing the fun back, but we are bringing the ig'nant back," explains Raydio. "Plus, it's still style with it. It's not too bubblegum-ish. We got some substance…It's either gone be ig'nant or have you dying laughing or have you saying 'did they really create a song about this?'"
The fun began back in 1997 in the cafeteria of Dunbar Vocational High School in Chicago. Making beats on tables and rapping back and fourth, Raydio G and Meatball along with two former members captivated their classmates on a daily basis. They named the ensemble Hotstylz and made names for themselves locally in talent shows throughout the city. By 2002, Krazee was added to the group, and they dropped their independent debut album The Bootleg Filez Vol. 1. By 2005, the group had been reshuffled to its present lineup. Then, they released compilation CD Hot Product in 2005, a collective effort featuring members of their rap crew HS Clique.
"We wanna show everybody a whole different perspective to the game," expresses Meatball. "Everybody wants to be a thug, but we chose not to go that route. We chose to have fun."
Those same energetic, good times will be all over their Swagg Team/ Jive major label debut. Their club-ready sound is a natural hybrid of their influences from swift-tongued Chicago rappers like Do Or Die, Crucial Conflict and Twista, but they blend their Mid-West sound with the up-tempo effervescence of raw, Down South energy from the likes of Three 6 Mafia.
"It's partially southern, but Midwest and southern music over the years started sounding alike," says Raydio. "It's more of a Chicago influence but there's definitely a southern influence too."
"Commercially, people think Chicago is full of conscious rappers, we all wear tight clothes and try to kick knowledge all day," Raydio sums up. "But there are a lot rappers like us who are like us - about having fun."
