The-Dream Recording New Album For December

The-Dream Recording New Album For December
A second album from The-Dream this year is apparently a reality.
The “Umbrella” songwriter and solo artist tells Billboard.com he’s “seven records in on a new album,” tentatively titled “Love King” and targeted for a December release. “I have to pace myself ’cause there’s so much time between here and then,” The-Dream says, “but the seven records I do have are timeless records. Whether they come out now or later it’s not really going to matter what kind of records they are.”
And while his latest release, the gold-certified “Love vs. Money” — which came out in March and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 — featured guest appearances by Mariah Carey, Lil Jon and Kanye West (on the current hit, “Walkin’ on the Moon”), The-Dream says no features are set yet for the next album. “Usually it’s one of those things where I kinda wait,” he explains. “I wait ’til the end, and then who’s ever doing their thing at that particular time, that’s who I get.”
The-Dream is balancing recording sessions with preparations in Los Angeles for his tour with Keyshia Coles, which starts Wednesday in Cincinnati. Unlike his “special guest” stint on last year’s Jay-Z/Mary J. Blige trek, this tour will allow him to present “a bigger Dream,” complete with four dancers and a five-piece band.
“I’m coming pretty stocked-up this time,” he says with a laugh. “I’m like a kid in a toy store, like, ‘Oh, this is gonna be fun!” I’m coming DVD-ready.” And, in fact, he plans to film a DVD at some point during the tour, which wraps June 21 in Oakland, Calif.
The-Dream says fans can expect songs from his two albums but plans to offer only “hints” of the hits he’s written for Rihanna, Usher, Carey, Blige, Jamie Foxx and others. “I don’t have enough time,” he explains, though there will be a cover of Michael Jackson’s “Dirty Diana.” “I’ve been trying to sing that song forever,” The-Dream notes.
He’s also planning his own headlining run for the fall, when his repertoire will be expanded not just by the “Love King” material but also by forthcoming work with Carey, Brandy, Christina Milian and Puff Daddy, the latter with a song called “Change” that The-Dream calls “probably one of the best male records I’ve ever written…the best record I’ve written besides ‘Umbrella.’”

The-Dream, Keyshia Cole Plan Tour
Singer/songwriter The-Dream has announced a 21-city tour with R&B artist Keyshia Cole that will take off on May 13 at the Aronoff Center in Cincinnati and will conclude at the Pearl in Las Vegas on June 21.
The-Dream will be touring in support of his sophomore album, “Love Vs. Money” (Radio Killa/Def Jam) which peaked at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart with 331,000 units sold in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Earlier this week, The-Dream released his third single, “Walkin’ On The Moon,” featuring labelmate Kanye West. The video for “Moon” was directed by Hype Williams and will premiere in coming days.
The first two singles off “Love Vs. Money,” “Rockin’ That Thang” and “My Love,” featuring Mariah Carey, reached No. 3 and No. 36 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart, respectively. The-Dream also released a remix of “Rockin’ That Thang” featuring the ‘Def Jam All-Stars’ lineup consisting of Fabolous, Juelz Santana, Rick Ross and Ludacris.
“Love Vs. Money” follow’s The-Dream’s 2007 debut, “Love Hate,” which sold 552,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen Soundscan. The-Dream’s first tour was as an opening act for Mary J. Blige and Jay-Z’s “Heart Of The City” trek last year.

The Dream - Love Vs Money
Product Information, Audio Previews, Reviews and More On:
The Dream - Love Vs Money
“The-Dream has definitely bypassed the sophomore slump with “Love Vs. Money.” The songwriter-cum-singer pushes the envelope production-wise (incorporating more of his Prince influences, among others) as well as lyrically: Check out “Sweat It Out,” which finds him crooning over a thumping bassline about a woman sweating out her hair after steamy sex. While sex is a recurring theme throughout the album (”Put It Down,” “Let Me See That Booty,” “Kelly’s 12 Play”), the-Dream also taps into raw emotions on tracks like “Love Vs. Money” and “Love Vs. Money Pt. 2,” which are this album’s collective version of “Nikki.” On them, he scornfully belts lyrics like, “I should’ve known money couldn’t match love” over pulsating beats. —Mariel Concepcion”
