Foo Fighters Try To Silence Will.I.Am, Cheetah Girls, Keyshia Cole And More, In New Releases

Foo for Thought: If you like the sound of the recent reissue of Foo Fighters' 1997 album, The Colour and the Shape, you might want to feast your ears on the band's sixth effort, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace — for it, they reteamed with Colour producer Gil Norton. Fans who preordered the disc via iTunes got a download of "The Pretender," while ones who did so through Ticketmaster became eligible to buy advance tickets to upcoming Foo concerts. Everyone who picks up the disc will get to hear "Long Road to Ruin," "Erase/Replace" and "Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners," but keep an eye out for a few bonus tracks floating around overseas and elsewhere too ("Seda" and a demo of "Once and for All" in particular).

Where There's a Will, There's a Way: Don't pay attention to the plural form in the title of Will.I.Am's solo album, Songs About Girls — the Black Eyed Pea's effort actually revolves around just one relationship. "It was just me being a young dude making dumb decisions. But I was just growing up into a man, learning how to juggle a career with a relationship," he said of the LP subject matter in a recent press release. Songs features Snoop Dogg, video game sound effects, club bangers, Brazilian funk beats and a surprise writing contribution from Electric Light Orchestra's Jeff Lynne.
