While it is still March, it is never too early to talk about upcoming album releases from hot artists. Before summer even begins, there are plenty of highly anticipated albums to be released by artists like Rihanna, One Chance, Linkin Park, Ashanti, Corbin Bleu, Maroon 5, and more. In the next two months, the new works of Timbaland, Ne-Yo, and Numskull will be known officially to the world.

Timbaland is one of today s most well-known producers. Hits after hits, it was only about time that he releases an album of his own after nine years since his debut album. Timbaland Presents Shock Value will be released on April 3, 2007. The first single is Give It To Me and it features Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake. The hot track is already climbing up the charts and will definitely be in the top 10 sooner or later. Shock Value guest stars a number of other musical acts, giving it more variety. It will be difficult to find 50 cent, Dr. Dre, Fall Out Boy, The Hives, and Elton John all in one album. If anyone can pull it off, it is definitely Timbaland.

Dignity, Hilary Duff
Release Date: April 3, 2007

2 out of 5 stars

All pop singers have one album they release as a statement of maturation. An image change is almost mandatory, along with acquiring a new musical direction. Hilary Duff's coming of age as a pop star comes in the form of her fourth studio album, "Dignity".

"Dignity" takes a more electronic approach than her first three albums, but it still comes off as unoriginal. Kylie Minogue has been making very similar records for the past 13 years, and has been pulling it off much better.

Eugene Joseph "Gene" McCarthy (March 29, 1916 – December 10, 2005) was an American politician and a longtime member of the U.S. Congress. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1949 to 1959 and the U.S. Senate from 1959 to 1971.

In the 1968 presidential election, McCarthy unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for president of the United States to succeed incumbent Lyndon B. Johnson on an anti-Vietnam War platform. He would unsuccessfully seek the presidency five times altogether.
