August 2010 Session Report



Studio 9000 Session Report


Singer-songwriter, actor, and voice actor Jesse McCartney has had several songs mixed by Leslie Brathwaite assisted by Muzzy Solis at PatchWerk Studios this past August.Jesse McCartney's fourth album will be released sometime in October of 2010. The album title has not yet been released but McCartney has declared it will have a similar sound to his 2008 release, Departure, but will be more R&B and urban-influenced than his third album. Sean Garrett produced three songs for the project. McCartney also recorded a song titled "Up". "Up" (produced by Dapo Torimiro and written by Dapo Torimiro and Ester Dean) was recorded in support of the Step Up 3D soundtrack. It will also be included in McCartney's fourth album. It was confirmed that the album finished recording and production on August 13, 2010. He also confirmed that the first single is titled "Shake" and will hit radio stations after Labor Day.

The former dancer and choreographer for Arrested Development and R&B princess Aaliyah is a multi-instrumentalist, serving up the type of production, lyricism, and performance stamina that leave fans yearning for more. In 2009, Lock signed a major label deal with Arrow/Universal Records and began work on his highly anticipated forthcoming yet titled CD, scheduled for 2010. While Lock continues to tour with Forefront/EMI artist Toby Mac, he released a duo of radio charted singles.
