Taylor Swift has been working on a new CD for a while now, and she is starting to give a little more info on what fans can expect.  Taylor recently told MTV that she has been writing a TON of songs, and then re-writing them.  She said she has written so many songs that her record label has told her "that's enough" and "stop" several times!  Taylor also revealed that the songs will mostly be about love, hurt, rejection & frustration and that she is working with other writers on this project.  Although she wouldn't name any names, she said that she's working with other song writers this time around instead of doing all the work herself.  No word on when that project will be completed, but I'll keep you posted.  In other Taylor news, she lent her voice to the upcoming 3D computer animated movie called "The Lorax", which is based on the Dr Seuss book with the same name.  Danny DeVito, Betty White and Zac Efron are also voice actors in The Lorax which will be released March 2nd.

Blake Shelton and the other three judges on NBC's "The Voice" have signed on for a third season!  Kim & I have been watching the show this year and we're really enjoying it....and kicking ourselves for missing it last year!  Sounds like the 3rd season will come with a nice pay raise too.  It's reported that Christina Aguilera will receive a whopping $10 million next season and the other three judges, Blake, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine will each earn around $6.  I wondered why Christina will make more and the only thing I can come up with is that either she has some part in creating the show or she has a REALLY good agent.  Several articles suggest that the 3rd season could start as soon as this fall, although NBC is saying that they haven't made any decisions on when it will air.

A few other quick things on upcoming CD's: 

Rascal Flatts will release their new CD "Changed" April 3rd.  The new project will have 11 new songs as well as four bonus songs on the deluxe edition.  Kix Brooks will release his first solo single "New To This Town" next month.  Kix has been taking his time with his new CD, but he said he's excited to get it out there.  Lee Brice has a hit with his new one "A Woman Like You".  That song will be featured on Brice's new CD "Hard To Love" which will be released April 24th.

Also wanted to let you know that WXBM's 14th annual Children's Miracle Network Radiothon is coming up soon and we've got a great way for you to help the kids at Sacred Heart Children's Hospital and possibly win a 7 night stay on Pensacola Beach at the same time!  Gulf Blue Vacations has donated a 7 night stay in a three bedroom unit at the Pensacola Beach Club Resort & Spa, and Sacred Heart Children's Hospital has 500 raffle tickets available for this!  When they're gone, they're gone.  I believe they are only asking $25 per ticket, and 100% of the money raised will be donated to Sacred Heart Children's Hospital in Pensacola!  If you would like more info on how to get a ticket (or several tickets) call 850-416-4660.  Drawing will be Friday, March 9th at 5pm on Your Country 102.7 WXBM.

Thanks for listening to WXBM!  Have a great week.
