Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN Entertainment) – Jackie Evancho is getting ready to release her very first album and she’s lined up two of the biggest voices in music for her debut: Susan Boyle and Barbra Streisand.

The 10-year-old vocal prodigy is set to release “Dream With Me,” the follow-up to her multi-platinum “O Holy Night” EP and her first full-length album. David Foster, whose produced albums for Seal, Josh Groban, and Michael Buble, is producing the 14-track set.

Susan Boyle appears on the track “A Mother’s Prayer,” while Barbra Streisand duets with Evancho on a cover of “Somewhere” from “West Side Story.”

The album even opens with Evancho performing the Disney classic “When You Wish Upon a Star” from 1940′s “Pinocchio.”

“I can say without a doubt that working with Jackie on ‘Dream With Me’ was truly phenomenal,” said 16-time Grammy winner David Foster. “Her natural ability and the depth of her understanding of the musical process left me speechless. I think we have created a musical experience that will thrill audiences of every age.”

Evancho will be 11 when “Dream With Me” officially hits stores on June 14th.

Los Angeles, CA, United States (CNS) – Barbra Streisand is expressing her love for architecture and photography in a book. The multi-award-winning singer/actress reveals another aspect of her personality in “My Passion for Design.”

The coffee table book, the first tome ever written by the star, focuses on the architecture and construction of the music legend’s newest homes, showing Streisand’s love of American architecture and design between the 18th and 20th centuries.

It contains photos of the rooms she decorated, the furniture and art she collected, and the gardens she planted on her California coast property.

Aside from her homes, Streisand also gives readers glimpse of her childhood memories, informs fans how she developed her sense of style, and shares what collecting has come to mean to her.

Streisand is releasing the book through online retailer Amazon and online marketing and distribution service IMX.

Alicia Keys has been confirmed as being in a relationship with rapper Swizz Beatz. Mashonda explains in a video that her husband, Swizz Beatz, was having a relationship with Keys while they were still married with a child

An accomplished pianist, Keys incorporates piano into a majority of her songs and often writes about love, heartbreak and female empowerment. She was inspired by several musicians, including Prince, Nina Simone, Barbra Streisand, Marvin Gaye, Quincy Jones, Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder. Keys’ style is rooted in gospel and vintage soul music, supplemented by bass and programmed drumbeats. She heavily incorporates classical piano with R&B, soul and jazz into her music, but began experimenting with other genres, including pop and rock, in her third studio album, As I Am. Patrick Huguenin of the New York Daily News stated that her incorporation of classical piano riffs contributed to her breakout success. Jet magazine states she “thrives” by touching her fans with “piano mastery, words and elodious voice”.

The Independent described her style as consisting of “crawling blues coupled with a hip-hop backbeat”, noting that her lyrics “rarely stray from matters of the heart”. Blender magazine referred to her as “the first new pop artist of the millennium who was capable of changing music.”

Keys playing the piano while performing, surrounded by three backing vocalistsKeys has a vocal range of a contralto, which spans three octaves. Often referred to as the “Princess of Soul”, Keys has been commended as having a strong, raw and impassioned voice; others feel that her voice is “emotionally manufactured” at times and that she pushes her voice out of its natural range. Keys’ songwriting is often criticized for lack of depth, which has led to her writing abilities being called limited. Her lyrics have been called generic, clichéd and that her songs revolve around generalities. Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune feels that she “[pokes] around for multi-format hits rather than trying to project any sort of artistic vision”. Diversely, Jon Pareles of Blender magazine stated that the musical composition of her songs makes up for their lyrical weakness, while Gregory Stephen Tate of The Village Voice compared Keys’ writing and production to 1970s music.

Alicia Keys has announced plans to tour the UK. The tour will follow the release of Keys’s new album, The Element of Freedom, which is due out internationally December 15. Tickets for the first round of shows go on sale November 30.
