Christina Milian Speaks About New Record Label



I mentioned a few months back about Christina signing a deal with MySpace Records and now the first single has been revealed 'Us Against The World' which is due to surface on Oct 6th. Read on to find out what she had to say about her new venture...

“I’ve been out of the game for one and a half years, and I think I’m long overdue for a comeback, so I’m treating this album like it’s my last chance to make an impression. I’m competing with myself and being very detailed.” “Before, I had a label telling me what direction to go in. Now, it’s my choice, so I’m being very particular about it and I’m really excited.”

“I have a lot of support from my peers. I have lots of people that love me and want the best for me. Sometimes things don’t work out the right way, but I know I work my butt off on my end. As long as you know you worked hard, you feel accomplished. Thankfully, I took the time off to check out what’s going on and now I’m back, and MySpace is allowing me to do tons of different things creatively.”

My New Club Night In Birmingham!



I thought it was about time for me start a new night in Birmingham, after all it is my hometown and I'm forever being asked when I'm playing in Brum and I'm always been told that Sunday nights need some freshness put back in them. So taking on board all that I've heard and out comes - 'Unify' my weekly Sunday night jump for the mature raver. The plan is to Obviously keep RnB strong in Birmingham but also help bring through the Funky House vibe which is becoming more and more popular in Birmingham. So now you know, if you fancy a good night out with the proper DJ's who know what their doing and a nice venue that you put on your good clothes and feel at ease, then Unify at Mono Bar is just the place for you! See you there...
