AUTHOR: Dominika | 10. December 2011 | no comments

According to the latest news, a band called Kotak (which consists of 2 men and 2 women) will be opening for Simple Plan on their upcoming show in Indonesia and it has been confirmed that at least one of the ladies will be joining Simple Plan on stage during their song Jet Lag. Seems like we can expect another female collaboration on this song.

As you know from earlier, Simple Plan have already offered many singers to sing the female vocals in their first single off their album “Get Your Heart On!”, and so that you can have a slightly better grasp on who all these ladies were and when and where they performed with Simple Plan, make sure to check out a barnd new section here on SimplePlan.cz called “Female singers of Jet Lag”, which you can find in the Extra category in our navigation!

Pierre and Chuck keep writing songs with Faber Drive in LA

Simple Plan have wrapped their American tour in New York City this week and from there, the members parted their ways for a while to different parts of the world: apparently Jeff just moved into his new appartment, while Pierre and Chuckem went back to Los Angeles, where according to the latest Facebook update of the band Faber Drive, they are yet again working with them on some of their songs.

They were also joined by Matt Squire, American producer and song-writer, who has co-wrote with Simple Plan in the past some of the lyrics for Get Your Heart On! – for example for You Suck At Love or Time Bomb, which was in the end given to All Time Low.

As you can see from the picture on top, which was taken earlier this year, this is not the first time Chuck and Pierre are working with the members of Faber Drive on their third studio album: you could have already read about it this March and also last November. Pierre has also already worked with Faber Drive on their second album, Can’t Keep A Secret, which was released in 2009, where he co-wrote two songs: Our Last Goodbye and G-Get Up And Dance.

The titles of the upcoming Faber Drive songs (or a song), that the guys from Simple Plan are working on, have not been revealed yet by neither of the bands. But hopefully we’ll soon find out.

All collaborations on the new album revealed!

The new surprise on SimplePlan.com includes a video, in which the guys from Simple Plan finally revealed all their (so far so “top secret”) collaborations/featurings – which will appear on the album. As you already know, Get Your Heart On will be including 11 songs. Out of these 11, 4 of them will be featuring 5 external singers.

So far, the officially confirmed featurings were Rivers Cuomo (from the band Weezer) on Can’t Keep My Hands Off You, and next Natasha Bedingfield and Marie-Mai on the song Jet Lag.

About now about the two remaining collaborations: first, it has finally been confirmed what Alex Gaskarth (from the band All Time Low) mentioned in one interview – that just like Simple Plan contributed to the new All Time Low record, Alex also offered something for the new SP album. Namely – his vocals, for the song Freaking Me Out.

The last collaboration is definitely a big surprise: song no.8, Summer Paradise, will be featuring the Canadian singer/rapper K’Naan, who we’ve mentioned in the news before: he is the writer/singer of the song Wavin’ Flag, which the charitable group Young Artists For Haiti (and Pierre Bouvier being a part of it) covered last year in order to support the victims of the natural catastrophes on Haiti.

What do you think about the new collaborations?

First single Jet Lag to premiere next week!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 20. April 2011 | no comments

Simple Plan have finally confirmed to Alter The Press which song will be their official first single: it will be Jet Lag, a song that the guys shot a video for just a few days ago and to which we already know the lyrics for.

The website has also confirmed the rumours that the song will be indeed featuring the British singer Natasha Bedingfield.

The single itself is set to premiere next week on April 26th.

And thanks to our colleagues at SPB here is the official cover art for the first single Jet Lag off the new Simple Plan record. What are your thoughts on it?

Will Natasha Bedingfield be featured on the English version of Jet Lag?

Ever since the boys shot the music video for the song Jet Lag two days ago, lots of rumours have started spreading on the internet. I can confirm that Jet Lag will be the song that has been already mentioned by Simple Plan to be available in two versions: in English and in French and (as you’ve been already informed before) one of the featurings on this song should be Marie-Mai.

Wait.. did I just say ONE of the featurings? Yes! Apparently Marie-Mai should only be singing the vocals on the French version of Jet Lag, yet the English version should feature the British singer Natasha Bedingfield, which you may remember from hits such as Unwritten, These Words, or most recently Pocket Full of Sunshine, which you may have heard in the movie Easy A.

It is important to mention that Simple Plan have not confirmed any of the two featurings of these two ladies. At least not yet. What do YOU think about them?
