Brian May Guests on New Dappy Single
Queen’s Brian May is no stranger to collaborations. But it is still something of a surprise to see him guesting with N-Dubz singer/rapper Dappy. Dappy launched his solo career with the single “No Regrets,” for which May expressed a liking. A few phone calls later, and May is on Dappy’s new single “Rockstar.”
Dappy tells the U.K’s Daily Star, “I would love Brian to make me a guitar. He told me all about his guitar that he made with his dad out of wood from a fireplace in his old house. He even got a five-sided coin to put in the neck and he replaced the Queen’s head with his own head. Now that’s his pluck, so I want one with my head on it.”
Lyrically, “Rockstar” is about the so-called 27 Club of artists that died young. "It’s all about paying homage to the 27 Club and amazing artists such as Amy Winehouse,” says Dappy. “It’s a song about people getting to their lowest but it talks about turning a negative into a positive.
“Brian told me: ‘You are a very different artist and unique, so carry on doing what you’re doing. There’s nobody else challenging you.’”
Dappy is 24. Brian May is 64. The track is scheduled to be released on February 26.

Coldplay Release New Single on 3 June
Coldplay will unveil their comeback single on Friday, June 3. “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” will stream from the band’s official website, with the download going on sale this weekend.
Rumors have been rife about Coldplay’s new songs. Drummer Will Champion recently posted on the band’s site: “We’re about to play a bunch of summer festivals so it’s as good a time as any to put out a new song.” Among the lyrics: “I turn the music up/ I got my records on/ from underneath the rubble” and “Every siren is a symphony/ every tear’s a waterfall.”
Speaking to Q magazine in November 2010, frontman Chris Martin said the follow-up to Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends is inspired by “’70s graffiti art and Germany's anti-Nazi White Rose movement.” He added that the new album will be “group-y” and “guitar-y,” with a title that “will probably begin with an M.”
Brian Eno is once again in the producer’s chair. Coldplay return to the stage on June 4 at the Rock im Park festival in Nuremberg, Germany.

Bono and The Edge Release <em>Spider-Man</em> Single
U2’s Bono and The Edge have released the lead-off single from the Music from Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark album. They back singer Reeve Carney on “Rise Above 1.”
Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is the Broadway musical with songs written by Bono and The Edge and starring Reeve Carney (from rock band Carney) in the lead role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, while Carney, his band, act as the musical’s orchestra.
The single, “Rise Above 1,” was produced by Alex Da Kid, while June’s forthcoming album Music From Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark was overseen by U2 production mainstay Steve Lillywhite.
The Spider-Man musical got off to a rocky start for Bono and The Edge with constant delays and rewrites, as well as some technical accidents. However, previews are now happening at New York City’s Foxwoods Theatre. The musical officially opens June 14, and Bono today insisted everything is back on track.
He told the Hollywood Reporter, “We’re opening Spider-Man on the 14th. I promise it’s not been cancelled, and we’re very excited about it. It’s almost there, it will be there by opening night.”
Listen to “Rise Above 1” below, a track full of classic U2 moves.

Linkin Park Single Included in New <em>Transformers</em> Movie
Linkin Park’s “Iridescent” will be featured in the upcoming summer movie, Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The single features a new version of the track that appears on the band’s most recent album, A Thousand Suns, and will play over the film’s ending credits, according to Blabbermouth.net.
A Linkin Park song has been featured in each one of the Transformers movies – “What I’ve Done” was included on the first one and “New Divide” appeared in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Both songs hit #1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Radio chart.
“The first two songs were huge hits and I have no doubt that this new song will be equally as successful," director Michael Bay said. Composer Steve Jablonsky weighed in on why the band and the film series are a good match: “Michael and I respond to Linkin Park because they have a cinematic sensibility to their music that translates to the big screen.”
The band’s own Joe Hahn will direct the video for “Iridescent,” just like he did with “New Divide,” which included Transformers film clips.
“‘Iridescent’ has always been a fan favorite when we play the songs from A Thousand Suns live on stage, so we’re thrilled that Michael decided to feature it in his third Transformers movie,” said Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon hits theaters on July 1.
