BILLY IDOL is to release a new album next year. 'World Comin' Down' will come out on the Sanctuary label with the actual release date pencilled for March 2005.

TEARS FOR FEARS classic song 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World' has been honoured by the BMI for receiving over four million plays on US radio since it's 1985 release.

Versatile singer/songwriter Amber is eager to show off her new fall colours with "You Move Me," a composition that will shock and delight fans who have pulsated to her long string of purring pop/dance hits, including "This Is Your Night", "Sexual (Li Da Di)" and "One More Night". 

This time around, Amber has amped the voltage to atomic proportionsùwith a tornado of guitars and nervous beats, an undulating flash of Middle Eastern effects and a joyful, orgiastic vocal from the siren, as she proclaims, "You take me higher and higher." Amber is obviously taking her art to a higher plane, complete with the launch of her own label, JMCA. A bevy of remixes, including a tribal-hued journey by Mike Cruz, will ensure club action for "You Move Me", though the song deserves its place in the mainstream spotlight. Amber is one talented lady; it's time the whole world took notice.

   

"My Kind Of World", Amber's first full length CD in over 2 years entitled is finally available. "My Kind Of World" features 12 new songs and promises to usher in a new era for Amber.
