Mediocre talent like Miley Cyrus has been hogging the spotlight for the last several months. Good news has come. Adele is set to release a new album ’25’ for November 20th, and she will dominate. She will take over top 40 radio, she will be booked for late night appearances, and expect to see her at the Grammy’s.

Adele notes “I don’t make music for eyes, I make music for ears.” This will be a sigh of relief for the fans who have only seen celebrity skin for the last two years.

The new album is the last on Adele’s Sony/XL deal. It’s been reported that she has inked a new deal with Sony, valued at more than $50 million.

Kesha’s career could be effectively over if the lawsuit between the pop singer and her former producer Dr. Luke isn’t settled quickly.

Last October, Kesha sued Dr. Luke, claiming that while signed to his label, he drugged, raped and abused her.

The singer is hoping that her contract with his Kemosabe Records label will come to an end. This will allow her to work with other producers and songwriters.

“Her attorney, Mark Geragos notes: “Kesha is at an impasse…her brand value has fallen, and unless the Court issues this injunction, Kesha will suffer irreparable harm, plummeting her career past the point of no return.”

Jim Urie, former CEO of Universal Music Group Distribution said: “If Kesha cannot immediately resume recording…her career is effectively over.”

Dr. Luke has claimed to be a victim of extortion, and fired back with his own defamation lawsuit.
