Exclusive Premiere of Tokio Hotel’s Humanoid on Myspace

Posted on Oct 06, 2009 under Album, Tokio Hotel, new single, song | No Comment

Head over to Tokio Hotel’s Myspace for an exclusive listen of their album Humanoid. The first single, “Automatic” is a metallic anthem with layered, buzzing guitars, stomping percussion, and a falsetto chorus made to be belted out by a stadium full of people while “World Behind My Wall” redefines the power ballad with depth, introspection, musical confidence and an irresistible sing-along chorus. The band tracked songs in Hamburg, Miami, and L.A. “Bill drove us all crazy, constantly coming in with things, even though the old songs weren’t finished yet,” says Tom, who’s fond of frequently ribbing his brother. “Apart from that, we just didn’t limit ourselves, and we used new instruments.”

The album does not hit stores until tomorrow, but the band is streaming all 12 tracks from the standard version until midnight. Like what you hear? Preorder the sci-fi themed release on iTunes now.

Sweet Dreams singer Beyonce has spoken out about the MTV Video Music Awards incident with Kanye West.

Kanye, 32, jumped on stage when Taylor Swift, 19, won the VMA for Best Female Video and said that Beyonce, who was also nominated, had “one of the best videos of all time”.

Beyonce recently attended Billboard magazine’s annual Women in Music event, where she was named Woman of the Year.

Beyonce said after accepting the gong: “Well, I knew his intentions, and I knew he was standing up for art; and he told me before, when they said the nominees, he’s like: ‘You have this award.’”

She added: “And when they didn’t call my name he was, like, completely shocked. And when he walked on the stage, I was like: ‘No, no, no!’ And then he spoke, and I was like: ‘Oh, no, no, no!’

“But in the end, it ended up being a great night, and Taylor Swift did get her moment – and I didn’t have to make an acceptance speech.”
