By Gail Mitchell, L.A.

Columbia Records and Sony/ATV Music Publishing are taking a back-to-the-future A&R approach for the debut album by singer/songwriter Nikki Jean: They're pairing her with experienced songwriters.

That doesn't sound especially bold—except that the songwriters include Burt Bacharach, Jimmy Webb, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.

The Jean project is "publishing in action," Sony/ATV chairman/CEO Martin Bandier says. "Too often, publishers wind up being passive, acting as a financial aid. That's OK, but it's only part of the job. The other part of the job is called 'artist development.' "

Best-known commercially for singing and writing stints on Lupe Fiasco's "The Cool," the 25-year-old Jean is a member of the Philadelphia-based indie hip-hop band Nouveau Riche. She's also a popular YouTube fixture thanks to original videos she posts on her nikkijeanproject channel. Despite her contemporary vibe, however, Jean is deeply rooted in the classics.

Calvin Harris wants to work with Michael Jackson

10:49am Monday 11th May 2009

By Ben Perrin »
CALVIN Harris wowed the Swindon crowd with his funky tunes.
The Scottish singer-songwriter, 25, enjoyed his time on the Main Stage on Saturday.

“I like Swindon after today - it was my first time here and it went off at the end,” said Calvin.

“I’m Not Alone went down well because that’s the most recent track.
“It was a good vibe, nice people and good sound. I’m on to France next - it’ll be as glamorous as Swindon. I won’t be in any woods, I’ll be in the city - I much prefer the woods here - it reminds me of me growing up.”
Calvin went on to say he most wants to work with Michael Jackson and he has sent him his music and his phone number if he wants to get in touch.
