Janice 在2005年凭翻唱黎明金曲「我这样爱你」和「情深说话未曾讲」的英文版而走红，转眼间推出了四张专辑。继去年《Serving You》，Janice 回归音乐的最基本，以她最擅长唱的英文歌唱出自我。

《Morning》是 Janice 出道以来首张全英文歌专辑，十首原创英文歌的曲风由爵士乐、法式惰怀、骚灵、摇滚至田园小品不等。主打歌「Rainbow」由新加坡音乐人Taz为她度身订做，以彩虹的七彩颜色来传达爱的讯息，Janice 在曲中演绎高音部分，尽显功架。碟内亦收录了她较早前为为宣扬毒害的讯息的禁毒歌曲「999」，曲中以节奏强劲令青少年有所共鸣。

《Morning》CD 只此一版，绝不加推第二版。

Her smoldering, sexy look may remind you of internationally-famous pop stars like Mandy Moore, but her warm ways and winning smile are distinctly Pinoy.

She is Amber (full name: Amber Alejo Rowley), a potential Fil-American pop superstar whose song is currently dominating the airwaves. Billed as the most exciting female solo act of 2006, Amber, dubbed as the country's Pop Jewel, is the voice behind the current radio favorite, Manila.

Manila is the first single off Amber's album entitled Feel Good Music. The album ?which launched at the Hard Rock Cafe Makati in a launch-cum-concert last July 15, 2006 was presented by Magic 89.9, Storm Watches London and No Curfew Watch Store and sponsored by Volvo, Gold's Gym, Jancen Cosmetics Surgery and MYX. The album features 12 all-original songs.

The other songs on the album include In This Place, Jungle, So Beautiful, Ikaw Ang Buhay Ko, See You Soon, He's Not You, All For Nothing, I Need, We Need Love, Daddy and the title track, Feel Good Music.

Although most people mistake it for being a cover of the Hotdog song of the 70s, Amber's first single, Manila, is actually an original track inspired by her memories of her early years in the country.

Born in Mesa, Arizona to a Filipino mother and American father, Amber spent the first few years of her life in the US. When she was five years old, the family moved back to the Philippines and to her mother's hometown of Malolos, Bulacan. After a while, they relocated to Angeles, Pampanga because of her father's work. They were living in Pampanga when Mount Pinatubo erupted in 1991.

Even then, Amber was already a born performer. As a child, she appeared in several TV commercials and made guest appearances on local television shows.

After high school, the family moved back to the US, choosing to settle in Los Angeles, California so Amber could pursue her dreams of a singing career. She started off working with different touring groups, and doing background vocals for artists like Hillary Duff. In 2004, Amber was signed to NBA player Dale Davis' record label, W.A.R entertainment. She recorded two singles for the movie soundtrack Playa's Ball.

After her contract expired, Amber moved to Osaka, Japan where she worked as a lead vocalist for the popular rock and hip-hop stage show Enwhy at Universal Studios.

After finishing her contract with Universal, she flew to the Philippines to see what opportunities were available. They sent out bios and demo CD's, and at least four different record companies showed interest in signing her up. In the end, however Amber gave her nod to Viva Records because of its reputation and track record at building up recording stars.

Amber says that like other Fil-foreign music starsuch as Apl.de.Ap of the Black Eyed Peas, Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls and Mutya Buena, formerly of the Sugababeshe is proud of her heritage.

"I carry all that with me, and that's what I want to do: take the Filipino culture and incorporate it into my music," she says.

All of the songs on her album reflect Amber's pride in her being Filipino. "I may have grown up abroad, but even when I was there, a part of me was still here," says Amber. "Now, I want to come here and give back. I want to establish my roots."

She is very excited that already, her music seems to have found an audience. The song is number one on various radio countdowns and its music video is starting to climb the charts. Its infectious beat and lyrics that inspire Filipinos to embrace their culture and be proud of it has struck a resounding chord in listeners everywhere.

Amber's debut album is available in CDs and cassettes in all major record stores nationwide, from Viva Records.

在发行过上张专辑《Shaman》时隔三年之后，拉丁吉他老将桑塔纳（Santana）推出了个人的“群星三部曲”的第三集《All That I Am》。老桑一手炉火纯青的吉他绝技加上有众多流行音乐届的当红明星的加入，使得本张专辑理所应当的得到了众多歌迷的喜爱。拥有全明星阵容的《All That I Am》在发行的第一周内共销售了14万2千张，获得了本周的Billboard专辑榜亚军。但于上张专辑《Shaman》相比，《All That I Am》的销量仅相当于《Shaman》的一半。 《All That I Am》专辑的制作工作仍由制作了著名专辑《Supernatural》的制作人Clive Davis操刀。在《All That I Am》专辑当中，Santana仍沿袭上两张专辑的传统，请来了一大堆各界明星与每人合作一首。而Santana首次以这种对唱的形势邀请各界的音乐人合作还是在1999年的专辑《Supernatural》当中。如果说当年首次与Rob Thomas，Dave Matthews，Eagle-Eye Cherry和Eric Clapton等艺人的合作让众多歌迷收获了意外惊喜的话，那么在六年之后在以同样的手段炮制出来的这张《All That I Am》让很多人失望是在所难免的。难道这是老桑的全部？当然不是。也许是《Supernatural》让Santana尝到的甜头实在太多了：专辑大卖，得格莱美......这些难免会影响一位艺术家创作的动机和方向。无论是多好的一出戏，连着看总会令人乏味的。看来保持风格与创新是所有音乐人永远需要学习的课题。 单就本张专辑的音乐来说，有了Mary J. Blige，Outkast组合的Big Boi，黑眼豆豆（Black Eyed Peas）的成员Will.I.Am，摇滚常青树史密斯飞船乐队（Aerosmith）的主唱史蒂文·泰勒（Steven Tyler），金属乐队（Metallica）主音吉他手科克·哈梅特（Kirk Hammett）以及从今年的“美国偶像”大赛走出来的Bo Bice等群星的加入，Santana再次如法炮制的将几首混着拉丁味的R&B和Hip-Hop的杂交歌曲与几首煽情的柔歌揉捏在了一起。老搭档Michelle Branch也再次出场，献上了一首和《Shaman》中的歌曲《The Game of love》几乎是一个模子刻出来的《I'm Feeling You》。幸好，老桑的固定搭档Rob Thomas这次还没有来......而专辑中少有的亮点是Steven Tyler演唱的《Just Feel Better》和与Kirk Hammett合作的独奏曲目《Trinity》。尤其在《Trinity》中，Santana用手中的吉他告诉我们他仍是当今乐坛最牛的吉他演奏大师之一。

身为联合公园（Linkin Park）首脑及主唱之一的麦克（MC Mike Shinoda），将化身为黑暗堡垒（Fort Minor 简称为FM），即将在本月22日，推出全新首张革命大碟『The Rising Tied』。随着专辑的即将发行，首支单曲「Believe Me」已在各电台强力放送。 当黑暗堡垒(Fort Minor简称为FM)专辑发行的消息一曝光时，在联合公园的歌迷群里，就开始热烈地讨论，联合公园是不是要解散了。于是所有LP的信徒们，都在各大联合公园的家族网站、部落格、及留言板上，热烈地讨论着。而这波雪球般越滚越大的传言，也传到了联合公园团员的耳里，听到这个传言的团员们，很感动的表示谢谢这些歌迷朋友对他们的支持及喜爱。随即共同公开一份声明稿表示，联合公园不会解散，目前也在准备全新专辑，预计在明年带着全新的作品和大家见面。除此之外，LP团员们非常骄傲在麦克的带领下，能够让黑暗保垒（Fort Minor简称为FM）这个同属于联合公园家族一分子的新血可以诞生，所有LP的成员将会力挺FM到底，一起见证黑暗保垒再次为乐坛带来一场新的音乐革命。
