New Kanye

In addition to crafting tracks for Jay-Z's upcoming album, "Blueprint III," Kanye West is plotting the release of his own as-yet-untitled Def Jam album, according to his management.

West initially named his fourth album "Good Ass Job" several years ago, to follow the thread of "College Dropout," "Late Registration" and "Graduation," however, an official title has yet to be confirmed.

Still, the disc may well hit shelves in the fourth quarter and management says West is seriously contemplating that timeline. Most recently, the MC has been performing a new track called "Love Lockdown," which is rumored to be his first single and to be hitting iTunes in a matter of days.

There's speculation West will perform the song Sunday (Sept. 7) on the MTV Video Music Awards, to which he was added today.

"Graduation," released in September 2007, has sold 2.2 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Def Jam was unavailable for comment at deadline.

Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skin

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first but I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can't add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And watches everything)
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too
Right inside your skin

Chorus (2x)

The face inside is right beneath your skin (3x)

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me (Repeat until end)

Chorus (Repeat until end)

The Verve Storms

The reunited Verve delivered a No. 1 U.K. album for Parlophone/EMI yesterday (Aug. 31) as "Forth" debuted at the top. In a double for EMI labels, Virgin's Katy Perry started a fourth week at the singles chart summit with "I Kissed a Girl."

The Verve's fourth album, its first in 11 years, thus matches the performance of its 1997 predecessor "Urban Hymns," which entered at No. 1 in October of that year. The band's "A Storm in Heaven" debut reached No. 27 in 1992 and "A Northern Soul" topped at No. 13 in 1995.

In an active top five of which four titles were newcomers, Slipknot's "All Hope Is Gone" (Roadrunner) debuted at No. 2. The American rock band's career best in the U.K. is 2001's chart-topping "Iowa," and they reached No. 5 with 2004's "Vol.3 (The Subliminal Verses)," but only No. 53 with 2005's "9.0 Live."

The Script's self-titled debut for Phonogenic/Sony BMG fell to No. 3 after two weeks at the top. The late American vocalist Eva Cassidy got another posthumous album success as "Somewhere" (Blix Street) arrived at No. 4, and the new Michael Jackson compilation "King of Pop" (Epic/Sony BMG) landed at No. 5.

Also new inside the top 10 were the Game's third album "L.A.X." (Geffen) at No. 9, and singer/songwriter Teddy Thompson's most successful release to date, "A Piece of What You Need" (Blue Thumb/Universal) at No. 10.


Perry's "Girl" continued to lead the singles race ahead of a No. 2 debut for Swedish DJ-artist Eric Prydz with "Pjanoo" (Data) and a 4-3 climb for Rihanna's "Disturbia" (Def Jam/Universal). Biffy Clyro's "Mountains" (14th Floor/Warner Music) made a second-week 10-5 climb and Scottish rock band Glasvegas got a second top 20 hit of the year as "Daddy's Gone" (Columbia/Sony BMG) started at No.12.

There was a 21-14 climb for "The World Should Revolve Around Me" (Parlophone/EMI) by Brooklyn-based Little Jackie, which comprises singer/writer Imani Coppola and programmer Adam Pallin. Alphabeat's "Boyfriend" (Charisma/EMI) leapt 35-15 and Metallica's "The Day That Never Comes" (Vertigo/Universal) soared 36-19.

Billboard's pan-European sales charts show Coldplay's reign on European Top 100 Albums extending to 10 weeks with "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" (Parlophone/EMI), while Perry's hit is in a third week atop Eurochart Hot 100 Singles.

Kid Rock Living Large

Kid Rock's latest album "Rock'n'Roll Jesus" and its single "All Summer Long" have been two of the biggest hits of the summer. But it's happened without either being available for download via Apple's iTunes Music Store in the United States.

Rock has been an outspoken critic not only of track downloading but Internet piracy. In a "smartass" public service announcement he recently advised people to steal everything. Eschewing iTunes also proves a point, Rock adds.

"I tell people in my organization, 'Do not ever come up to me and say, "This is what everyone's doing and how they're doing it." Don't ever give me that lame-ass bullsh*t,'" he tells Billboard at a Nashville tequila bar. "As soon as someone says, 'You have to be on iTunes ... they're the No. 1 retailer' ... I don't have to. Because I remember being a kid when I heard a song that I liked, I would jump on the bus, ride to Detroit, get a $2.50 transfer and walk a mile to the hip-hop store to buy the new Eric B. & Rakim record. You're not going to stop people from obtaining what they want if it's available at some level."

However, Atlantic president Julie Greenwald says "Rock'N'Roll Jesus" will be available soon digitally in the States as an album via providers like Amazon, walmart.com, Rhapsody and bestbuy.com.

"We get so caught up in technology and ease [of downloading a single] ... there's nothing wrong with listening to a whole record from start to finish," Kid Rock co-manager Ken Levitan says.


In other news, Kid Rock and his Twisted Brown Trucker band recently cut a new song, "Warrior," for a National Guard commercial. It will be downloadable in its entirety on the National Guard's Web site once the commercial airs. He's also looking at launching signature beer and cigar products.

"I like [branding opportunities] when it's something I'm into, and I'm definitely into beer and cigars," Rock says. "You probably won't see me on the cover of a Wheaties box or selling Tide detergent, because it's irrelevant to me."
