Odd is the fourth Korean album released by SHINee. The song “View” was used as the lead track. The album was released in two versions, much like the group’s second album LUCIFER; version A was released on May 18th, while version B was released a week later, on May 26th. The album comes with a jewel case, containing a 20-page booklet, packaged in a slipcase along with a 80-page photobook, as well as a poster and a random member card. Both versions feature the same tracklist but come with different covers, photobooks, posters and member cards. Three months later the album was released as a repackage titled Married To The Music, which included all 11 tracks plus 4 new ones.

Jordin Sparks – Right Here, Right Now (Album)

Jordin Sparks “Right Here, music, Musica, Right Now (Album)

Right Here, Right Now is the third studio album by American recording artist Jordin Sparks. It was released on August 21, 2015, and is the first release under Sparks’ new joint label deal with Louder Than Life / Red Associated Labels (RAL), an imprint of Sony Music Entertainment, and 19 Recordings. Sparks made the official album announcement on November 25, 2014, after releasing her mixtape, #ByeFelicia.

The fourteen-song set contains five collaborations, including B.o.B (“Work From Home”), J-Doe (“1000″) and Shaggy (“Casual Love”). It also looks like Jordin is still holding something of a grudge against ex-boyfriend Jason Derulo with a slew of feisty song titles (“They Don’t Give,” “Unhappy” and “It Ain’t You”). It will be interesting to see how the album is received.

Tracklist:

1. Work from Home (feat. B.o.B)
2. 1000 (feat. J-Doe)
3. Right Here Right Now
4. Double Tap (feat. 2 Chainz)
5. Boyz in the Hood
6. Silhouette
7. They Don’t Give
8. Left…..Right?
9. Casual Love (feat. Shaggy)
10. Unhappy (feat. Elijah Blake)
11. Tell Him I Love Him
12. 11:11
13. 100 Years
14. It Ain’t You
