SOM interviews Taboo On TOUR!

SOM recently got to visit Taboo in a private backstage room to interview him....

We picked out are 3 favorite questions and answers from the interview to put onto the site.

Explain the concept of the new tour?
Well the new tour is basically the "Now Generation". Its the future, its 3008, and it's just a big party and we invite everyone to come. We dont really have a storyline to the tour, it's just a party that the hole is welcomed to come too.

A party... explain this party alittle more?
Well its like a party like no other, you have the DJ, lights, the tv screens, the giangtic stage, the energy, and all. When you come to this show you will be blown away because, it is such a big production and there isn't anything out there right now with such big (of) production.

Wow! Thats amazing! Now tell us what its like to hang out with VIP fans at the pre-show party?
It's amazing, they just have the times of their lives. I mean you got little kids, adults, grandparents, teenagers, parents, and everything! They are all so happy to get an autograph or picture with anyone of us.

FAVORITE QUESTION:
Whats the future to hold in a possible new album?

Rated R will feature 3 more singles...!

In the U.S. Rihanna has released officaly 3 singles (Russian Roulette, Hard, and Rude Boy.) In UK Rihanna released officaly 3 singles (Russian Roulette & Rude Boy) we can provide the information that there will be 3 more singles worldwide. The songs that will be the finale singles according to are direct sources from Rih's team states. We also asked if there will be a re-release.

The other 3 singles will be Photographs, Rockstar 404, and Fire Bomb. Rihanna really wants to put out Fire Bomb because, its one of her favorites and a fan favorite. Rihanna and the label both came to the conclusion of releasing Photographs and Rockstar as well after Rude Boy is done charting.

As of now there are no plans for a re-release but, after these 3 singles are released we can take it in to consideration but, NeYo is working with Rihanna on a few tracks which could be for a future project and as of now I have know word on a new project. So stay tuned.

THE E.N.D.

With all the buzz of BEP releasing a new album it is a false statment. The new album will actually be a remixed/revised edition of The E.N.D. containing a new title, tracklist, and cover. The new revised copy will feature different packaging as well as new tracks including the first single which will be produced by David Guetta. According to are sources there is a possible boxset in the making they will include the orginal E.N.D, the new disk with tracks and remixes, and the E.N.D. book. It will include fold out posters and behind the scenes pictures from the E.N.D. tour.

Besides the possible boxset a standard edition will be released with 15-20 tracks containing the orginal E.N.D. + remixes of hit singles. Also a bonus disk containing an unknown amount of new songs. As well as the revised copy, the E.N.D. Tour DVD will be released in June as well.

The Battle of Tours in the UK/Europe.

Black Eyed Peas lit the celebration off the E.N.D. Tour Thursday night in Atlanta while, Rihanna performed a full Set at Pepsi Smash in Miami Thursday as well. We attented Rihanna's show which was amazing and we are also attented Black Eyed Peas show tonight in Miami.

BEP & Rihanna will be both performing in the UK from April-June which will start the "Battle" of the tours. The Black Eyed Peas are putting on a huge production and Rihanna states her tour "we never had such a big capacity". What tour do you think will drop the bomb on Europe/UK.

We interview Jamie King.

Well, what do you know! A correct source of ours interview Jamie King Friday night and got some very cool concert ideas. The guy that interviewed him (Rob) knows his e-mail from working production with britney spears..

Jamie! Hello, how are you? I have a few questions for you if you don't mind...
Im great and yourself. And I don't mine. Just make it a few because, I gotta be somewere working on something for RRT.

Whats the RRT?
Rihanna's tour.

Whoa! Could you give me some details on that?
Well, I can't get into to much but, the tour is huge, like almost never been done before. We are currently in the stages of stage design, setlist, costumes, video backdrops, and a storyline so we are just at the basics and we will move into rehearsals in mid-Feburay.

Amazing. Now whats the storyline?
Well all we got is a few rough draft ideas but, one of the ideas me and Simon plan on introducting to Rihanna is "Telling her story in chapters on stage". I mean the stage is HUGE. So, we have to make a storyline that fits this stage, the costumes, the setlist, and so on. But, my idea kind off was like everysong that she performs she needs to play it out. Like, let's say a mummy for Disturbia. Like different evil creatures to rep. each chapter in her life while, she will be breaking, smashing, singing, and dancing to stuff at the same time. But, no matter what are idea comes to it will be amazing. Look, I gotta go. Got time for two more questions.

Wow. That sounds amazing. I wonder if I can get on production for it hahaha.
I don't know I will look into that.

Ok 1 more question. Will Britney tour for her new album.
I honestly don't know when this album will come out but, being good with Britney and her team... well, you get the inside details. So, when this new album comes out... Im pretty sure there won't be touring. I mean she might do like 5 gigs in a row at one place in like LA, Vegas, NYC, or London something like that for promotional reasons but, other than that no.
