• Reba McEntire Talks New Music, Excited About Love Song 'I Don't Have Many of Those'

    We have no idea what Reba McEntire's new album will be called or when it will be released, but we do know one thing: It is happening. The country queen's most recent studio effort, "All the Women I Am," was released in 2010."I figured it was over," she recently told "Billboard," via The Boot.McEntire said her husband, Narvel Blackstock, convinced her she had more left in the tank. "[He] kept saying, 'No, it's not; you'll record again.' And I was like, 'Wow, where's your crystal ball?'"Blackstock was right, and now McEntire is freely talking about the process for her new disc. She even has a love song: "I Don't Have Many of Those.""One thing we are sticklers about is keeping the emotion — not to make it perfect," she said. "I want it to feel heartfelt — lots of soul with it. With the technology nowadays and our engineers being so incredible, you can say, 'I want to sing that,' and they're ready, or then, 'I want to sing it again,' and they're ready. There are overdubs, you can comp it, and you can make it just right."There is another convenient aspect of country music: McEntire gets to hand-pick songs for her album from a trove of unreleased tunes.

  • Lauren Alaina: 'Barefoot and Buckwild' Singer Takes Taylor Swift Route And Writes About Bitter Ex-Boyfriend

    "American Idol" prepares a vocalist for the pressures and the demands of life in the show business, but it rarely gives participants any experience writing music for themselves. Lauren Alaina did just fine covering everyone from Reba McEntire to The Beatles during Season 10 and eventually finishing as runner-up, and her 2011 debut album "Wildflower" peaked at no. 5 on the Billboard 200, but the country up-and-comer wanted to get more involved with the writing on her next album, yet untitled.
