Sonique is a British dance-pop singer whose grabby new single, It Feels So Good, is scaling the charts with uncommon speed. Just a few months ago, Sonique's fame was limited to the British dance-club circuit. Then, in February, a deejay in Tampa, Fla., received a copy of a Sonique single from a visiting friend. He gave it a spin. The audience that developed around It Feels So Good was large and enthusiastic--and happened to include Universal Music chairman Doug Morris and Jimmy Iovine, head of Universal's Interscope subsidiary. The two record moguls decided to make...
Directed by Oscar-winning production designer Eugenio Zanetti (Restoration) and produced by Barnet Bain and Stephen Simon (What Dreams May Come), the $3 million Quantum Project wants to be the Jazz Singer of cybercinema--a landmark for the millennial medium. "The Net is a mirror for the way human beings think," says Bain. "Hypertext is the bedrock for a whole new nonlinear art form. When you're clicking your browser from site to site, you're exploring chaos theory. The scenes have no connection, except in your head. Quantum Project is like that. It's not just nonlinear...
...were a cup of coffee instead of a pop-soul singer, he would be filled with about five of those thingys of half-and-half and about six lumps of sugar. He's more polite than soulful.

His association with serial sampler Combs may also explain why the title track on this CD samples a hefty chunk of Sting...
...Jimmy Pop, lead singer of the Bloodhound Gang, recently wrote a story for British gay porn mag Homosex. This seems like a radical increase in sensitivity to sexual orientation from a man whose video for "Bad Touch" (the "do it like the Discovery Channel" song) featured apparently gay French men attacked by monkeys. But don't be fooled. In his let's-trade-one-offensive-stereotype-for-the-other defense of the video, Pop (presumably no relation to Iggy) claimed to Britain's NME that it wasn't an attack on gay men. "They weren't gay men, they were...
...person, Mya is rather shy--she smiles at the floor of the limo a lot and speaks in a voice softer than cotton. So how did such a demure singer come to title her PG-rated album after Erica Jong's sex-charged 1973 novel? The answer is, Mya hadn't read the book until after she came up with her album name. "There are similarities between the album and the book," says Mya, "one being that you should make decisions based on how you feel, not on other things around you." If Mya really wants to continue...
