Behind Closed Doors is the first single by English singersongwriter, Peter Andre from his forthcoming sixth solo studio album, Control. The song had its first airplay on Chris Moyless BBC Radio 1 show and was released on August 10, 2009.
Andre wrote the song himself and has said he loves the feel of it.
[LYRICS]
You think you've got me figured out
You think you know what I'm about
Don't believe what you read
Half of the things you see
Thought youd figured this out by now
(And who would have known)
That our life could be so exposed
Where we will end up nobody knows
what do we know, what what do we know
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
You cant imagine
Behind closed doors
is where it happens
behind closed doors
That's where the truth is
That's where the life is
That's where I'm hiding ..
behind closed doors (behind closed doors)
Behind closed doors (behind closed doors)
Behind closed doors
There's a man who lives in the street
Tryina to find his way (whoa oh)
then i figured hed found the best way to escape (whoa oh)
His addiction cost him everything
Guess he thougt it helped him hide the pain
And who would have known
Has a wife, two kids and a three story home
Got all these things yet hes still alone
What do we know, what do we know
Behind closed doors
(Behind closed doors)
Behind closed doors
(Behind closed doors)
Behind closed doors
(Behind closed doors)
That's were the truth is
That's were the life is
And you try and you try
But no one hears you cry
Deep inside all you hope is the truth
But no mind to the lies
Keep you rising for prising
And then all you have is you
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
(you can't imagine)
who would have known
Behind closed doors
(you can't imagine)
Nobody knows
Behind closed doors
That's were the truth is
That's were the life is
That's where I'm hiding ..
behind closed doors (behind closed doors)
Behind closed doors (behind closed doors)
Nobody knows
Behind closed doors

Jay-Z - What We Talkin' About [Ft. Luke Steele] The Blueprint 3
During The Blueprint 3s opening salvo What We Talkin About?, Jay-Z spits, I dont run rap no more; I run the map. Its a typical top-of-the-world boast that Jay has been spewing since 1998, but in some respects, it feels like hes finally earned it. Hes not only the biggest rapper of all time (by far), but hes also one of the last big pop stars -- a rapper whom even your mom knows and whose every album is an event to be reckoned with. Its hard to imagine a new 50 Cent album, or even a new Lady Gaga album, being subject to a kind of hype that includes blog posts that boast exclusive looks at the scanned CD booklet. In other words, Jay-Z is right.
The increased exposure of a marriage to Beyonce and a largely unchallenged rap-king throne (at least since Nas dropped Ether) hangs heavy over Jay-Zs 11th album, The Blueprint 3. A return to The Blueprint brand is supposed to signal a recommitment by Jay-Z to the street-wise but pop-friendly auspices of the first two Blueprint albums. Instead it serves as a better version of Kingdom Come, Jays much-maligned comeback album, which found him struggling to find relevant non-drug related things to say apart from how people who hate him are losers and how hes got more money than the U.S. Treasury.
The Blueprint 3 starts well enough. Its first half is good to great, starting with the Empire of the Sun-featuring What We Talkin About? and running through the the futuristic zoom-bip of the Swizz Beatz-produced On to the Next One. Lead single D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune) sounds better in context, where its crotchety assertions about hating iTunes, Auto-Tuners and ringtone rappers fit in between the fan-thanking Thank You and the boastful Run This Town (which features a fire Kanye verse that far outshines Jays). A never-better Young Jeezy trades increasingly entertaining verses with Jay over a horn-heavy Incredibles-produced beat on Real As It Gets. On joyous album highlight Empire State of Mind, Jay references Nas NY State of Mind, but instead of a nightmare hellscape, Jays New York is a place of fast streets, sports teams and fulfilled dreams.
But around the time we get to the Timbaland-produced, Limbaugh-dissing, Drake-featuring Off That, a song about how far ahead of the curve Jay is, the album's quality falls off considerably. (You can make the case that The Blueprint 3 would be better as an EP, with the back half of the album trashed.) Jay runs through raps recent history on A Star is Born, a track with the startling revelations that Eminem was great when he came out, Andre 3000 is really ill, Wu-Tang Clan had a hell of a run, and that Jay is the biggest rapper in the world. The abysmal Venus VS. Mars has Jay delivering cliché-heavy my girl is different than me (example: Shorty like Pac/ Me, Big Poppa) verses over a recycled Timbaland beat. The closing four-track run of Hate through the incredibly corny Young Forever, a Mr. Hudson-featuring clunker, may be the weakest stretch on any Jay-Z album, with the Neptunes produced, Pharrell-produced So Ambitious winning the contest for the worst Neptunes-related track not on any of N.E.R.D.s three albums.
But really, the music hasnt meant much in relationship to the Jay-Z brand since The Black Album -- the multi-million dollar endorsement deals and business expansions have meant more since then. 2007s American Gangster was an anomaly; the guy was only able to go back to his creative coke-rap well under the auspices of a concept album. Albums like Kingdom Come and The Blueprint 3 are Jays norm now. That is to say, the guy could keep doing half-assed records like this until 2030, and hell still be able to call himself the most popular rapper of all time. Hes like a classic rock group (like, say, U2) in that respect; we expect him to keep delivering same-old, same-old new music, but were not going to like it more than we liked Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, or Vol. 2.

Hes like a classic rock group (like, say, U2) in that respect; we expect him to keep delivering same-old, same-old new music, but were not going to like it more than we liked Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, or Vol. 2.

Jay Z Off That Ft Drake The Blueprint 3 - Track 8
During The Blueprint 3s opening salvo What We Talkin About?, Jay-Z spits, I dont run rap no more; I run the map. Its a typical top-of-the-world boast that Jay has been spewing since 1998, but in some respects, it feels like hes finally earned it. Hes not only the biggest rapper of all time (by far), but hes also one of the last big pop stars -- a rapper whom even your mom knows and whose every album is an event to be reckoned with. Its hard to imagine a new 50 Cent album, or even a new Lady Gaga album, being subject to a kind of hype that includes blog posts that boast exclusive looks at the scanned CD booklet. In other words, Jay-Z is right.
The increased exposure of a marriage to Beyonce and a largely unchallenged rap-king throne (at least since Nas dropped Ether) hangs heavy over Jay-Zs 11th album, The Blueprint 3. A return to The Blueprint brand is supposed to signal a recommitment by Jay-Z to the street-wise but pop-friendly auspices of the first two Blueprint albums. Instead it serves as a better version of Kingdom Come, Jays much-maligned comeback album, which found him struggling to find relevant non-drug related things to say apart from how people who hate him are losers and how hes got more money than the U.S. Treasury.
The Blueprint 3 starts well enough. Its first half is good to great, starting with the Empire of the Sun-featuring What We Talkin About? and running through the the futuristic zoom-bip of the Swizz Beatz-produced On to the Next One. Lead single D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune) sounds better in context, where its crotchety assertions about hating iTunes, Auto-Tuners and ringtone rappers fit in between the fan-thanking Thank You and the boastful Run This Town (which features a fire Kanye verse that far outshines Jays). A never-better Young Jeezy trades increasingly entertaining verses with Jay over a horn-heavy Incredibles-produced beat on Real As It Gets. On joyous album highlight Empire State of Mind, Jay references Nas NY State of Mind, but instead of a nightmare hellscape, Jays New York is a place of fast streets, sports teams and fulfilled dreams.
But around the time we get to the Timbaland-produced, Limbaugh-dissing, Drake-featuring Off That, a song about how far ahead of the curve Jay is, the album's quality falls off considerably. (You can make the case that The Blueprint 3 would be better as an EP, with the back half of the album trashed.) Jay runs through raps recent history on A Star is Born, a track with the startling revelations that Eminem was great when he came out, Andre 3000 is really ill, Wu-Tang Clan had a hell of a run, and that Jay is the biggest rapper in the world. The abysmal Venus VS. Mars has Jay delivering cliché-heavy my girl is different than me (example: Shorty like Pac/ Me, Big Poppa) verses over a recycled Timbaland beat. The closing four-track run of Hate through the incredibly corny Young Forever, a Mr. Hudson-featuring clunker, may be the weakest stretch on any Jay-Z album, with the Neptunes produced, Pharrell-produced So Ambitious winning the contest for the worst Neptunes-related track not on any of N.E.R.D.s three albums.
But really, the music hasnt meant much in relationship to the Jay-Z brand since The Black Album -- the multi-million dollar endorsement deals and business expansions have meant more since then. 2007s American Gangster was an anomaly; the guy was only able to go back to his creative coke-rap well under the auspices of a concept album. Albums like Kingdom Come and The Blueprint 3 are Jays norm now. That is to say, the guy could keep doing half-assed records like this until 2030, and hell still be able to call himself the most popular rapper of all time. Hes like a classic rock group (like, say, U2) in that respect; we expect him to keep delivering same-old, same-old new music, but were not going to like it more than we liked Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, or Vol. 2.

" Good Hair " Documentary
http://festival.sundance.org/2009/film_events/films/good_hair
When Chris Rocks daughter, Lola, came up to him crying and asked, Daddy, how come I dont have good hair? the bewildered comic committed himself to search the ends of the earth and the depths of black culture to find out who had put that question into his little girl's head! Director Jeff Stilsons camera followed the funnyman, and the result is Good Hair, a wonderfully insightful and entertaining, yet remarkably serious, documentary about African American hair culture.An exposé of comic proportions that only Chris Rock could pull off, Good Hair visits hair salons and styling battles, scientific laboratories, and Indian temples to explore the way black hairstyles impact the activities, pocketbooks, sexual relationships, and self-esteem of black people. Celebrities such as Ice-T, Kerry Washington, Nia Long, Paul Mooney, Raven Symoné, Maya Angelou, and Reverend Al Sharpton all candidly offer their stories and observations to Rock while he struggles with the task of figuring out how to respond to his daughters question. What he discovers is that black hair is a big business that doesnt always benefit the black community and little Lolas question might well be bigger than his ability to convince her that the stuff on top of her head is nowhere near as important as what is inside.
Recipient of A Special Jury Prize: U.S. Documentary

The harmonious vibes of this Songstress flows
through the underground of main-street music and
the passion expressed in her live performances
shed some light on the original roots of soul music-
life's lessons. Indeed, the addictive vocal
arrangements of Alana DaCosta have an impact on
her audience. Her style of singing is controlled,
captivating and inspirational. Her gift of song
opens the minds of her listeners and arouses a
new depth of soul music. Her distinctive sound
extends beyond boundaries as she consistently
blends nu-soul with grooves and vibes of hip-hop,
reggae, jazz, and a drop of funk.
Born in Bronx, New York, to Jamaican parents,
Alana DaCosta, as a toddler would hum the tunes
of singers ranging from Gregory Isaac to Donna
Summer. Alana's mother would often encourage
her only child to entertain herself with her "most
favorite toy" in their home, her mother's turntable.
Alana's exposure to various musical genres at a
young age influenced her singing and songwriting
styles. She began her musical endeavors at the
early age of 7, performing in school plays, charity
events and talents shows. By the time she was
ten, Alana began writing poetry, competing in
oratorical contests, and playing the trumpet in a
jazz and concert band. Two years later, she
enrolled at the Dillard Center of the Performing Arts
in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; where she excelled in
her chosen track of voice and instrumental training.
As a student, Alana performed throughout Florida
and Bahamas with some of the most talented
musicians and singers such as Roberta Flack and
Peabo Bryson.
A graduate of the prestigious Howard University in
Washington, D.C., Alana's strong passion for
helping others influenced her decision to study
Psychology as well as Music, with a concentration
in Voice and Jazz studies. She continued to excel in
her studies and performed throughout the
Baltimore and DC area. "One day my music will
touch the minds, hearts and souls of people across
the world, and will increase one's motivation for
self discovery and the desire to live life freely",
says Alana, a songwriter who truly understands
and respects the healing power of music and
conveys her artistic mission through her songs.
Since returning to South Florida in 2001, Alana has
performed at numerous venues including the
premiere screening of Erykah Badu's short film
documentary "Hair Stories" at the elegant Nikki
Beach Club in South Beach. Alana received
admirable reviews from her audiences at Hard Rock
Café Bayside and at "Urban Nights" held at the
legendary Eden Rock Resort.
In the recording studio, Alana has recorded
background vocals for various artists and has
shared the stage with well-known reggae artists
such as Beres Hammond, Luciano, Maxi Priest, and
Marcia Griffiths. Alana also performs at colleges and
universities throughout the United States with
Poetic Ahku, a group of poets, singers, and musical
pioneers that are driven by the desire to expose
the college audience to "homegrown" soul through poetry
and song.
With the drive and passion felt in her music, there
is no doubt, that this talented young lady is
destined to leave her own mark in the world and
make her artistic mission a reality.
