...expected, Diddy’s new album “Press Play” is stuffed with upbeat tracks and A-list cameos that reflect his flamboyant and entrepreneurial persona. Featuring appearances from Kanye West, Pharrell, will.i.am, Mario Winans, Just Blaze, Nicole Scherzinger, Christina Aguilera, Big Boi, Ciara, Timbaland, Twista, Shawnna, Nas, Cee-Lo, Brandy, Keyshia Cole, Jamie Foxx and Mary J. Blige, it is safe to say that it cannot help but generate some quality songs...
...DYLAN is more plugged in than he has been since he amped up at the Newport Folk Festival more than 40 years ago. Modern Times, Dylan's latest album, beat out new releases by Jessica Simpson and Christina Aguilera, making the folk-rock icon the oldest living artist ever to launch an album at No. 1. Notoriously reclusive, Dylan lately even seems to be enjoying his public, publishing a memoir, deejaying a show on XM Satellite Radio and endorsing a Broadway musical. "They say, 'Dylan never talks,'" the singer told Rolling Stone. "Well, what the hell is there...
...their enormously hyped end-of-summer albums, Christina Aguilera, Paris Hilton, Beyonc Knowles and Jessica Simpson all at least pretend to provide their listeners with the universality of great pop.

(She earned that extra r.) Aguilera's latest is titled Back to Basics, a signal that she's put away the assless chaps and is ready to focus. Basics, already the top-selling album in the country, sprawls over two discs, the lesser of which is dedicated to the singers who have inspired her. On Back in the Day, over vinyl scratches...
When Basics is cooking, an entire minute may pass without reference to Aguilera's paparazzi-stalked life. But all too often she breaks the spell to remind us, just in case we're wondering, that she's "still got that freak" and is Still Dirrty. If we're monitoring her feud with a former producer, there's a score-settling taunt ("Looks like I didn't need you"). And anyone who finishes both discs with unanswered questions about her much publicized marriage to music executive Jordan Bratman is obviously stone deaf. Aguilera isn't singing pop on these songs...
