Great to see Alexandra Billings taking the stage back in our sordid little berg.

Music is a tricky business. While I was able to deliver a near-perfect assessment of the Grammy winners before the awards happened, my sources failed me to varying degrees with producing information about upcoming projects. Mariah’s next album will be called E=MC² and has an April 15 release date, according to the MariahCarey.com newl- etter. Madonna’s next album will be called Licorice, which was oddly enough a previ- ously linked title for the project. You can check out the pre-release track list for the album, as well as pre-order it, from CDWOW.com at http://www13.cd-wow.com/detail_results.php?product_ code=2599743 Mariah’s lead single is out. It’s called “Touch My Body.” I had the pleasure of hearing this track already, and it is very much in the Mimi style. I found it a very solid mid- tempo, but still light enough to inspire smiles and finger snaps.
