Kreayshawn Wants To Mix Genres On Her Debut
In between gigs on tour, Kreayshawn is squeezing in some studio time and looking to lock down the finishing touches on her still-in-the-works proper first album. After her mixtape Kittys x Choppas spawned the viral hit "Gucci Gucci," Kreay's fans have been wondering when she will put out more musical magic on her official debut album.
"I'm on tour right now, so we've been touring everywhere," she told MTV News about grinding out new music. "But we have almost half of the album done. As the artist, it's hard cause I'm like 'Oh, I want to rerecord it; oh I don’t like this.' So it's just all about being less crucial on yourself and putting things out."
The 22-year-old plans on including a melting pot of genres on the album since she doesn't want to be pigeon-holed. "Me, personally, I listen to a whole bunch of different genres of music, so my album is definitely going to have a whole bunch of different sounds for everyone to listen to," she explained. "And to open people up to other types of music. I'm not aiming towards like being all radio hits. I just want to put my message out there and spread new music."
So, will Kreayshawn hook up with anyone and get some features on the album? It seems unlikely and she has a very specific reason why. "I do have people I want to do features with," she said, adding this caveat, "I really want to keep the album, since it's my first album, I want to keep it about me and kind of about what my sound is and my family."

More performers added for the AMAs
The performer roster for the upcoming 2011 American Music Awards continues to grow. The show, which airs on November 20 on ABC at 8 p.m. ET/PT, will feature performances from party starters LMFAO, Chris Brown and Marc Anthony. The three stars will join a previously announced group of performers that includes Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, Pitbull and Maroon 5. The host-free event will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live and be preceded by a one-hour red carpet ABC special at 7 p.m. The action will start even earlier with an online pre-show beginning at 5 p.m. EST hosted by former 'NSYNC member Lance Bass, with help from Michael Buckley, Estelle, Sarah Hyland, Audrina Patridge, Josh Sussman and Xzibit. Aguilera and Maroon 5 will hook up to play their current smash hit "Moves Like Jagger."
Last month, in a nomination special hosted by Pitbull and Nicki Minaj, it was revealed that Perry would head into the show as one of the night's most-nominated acts (along with fellow females Adele, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift), up for Artist of the Year, Pop or Rock Music: Favorite Female Artist and Adult Contemporary Music: Favorite Artist. It's somewhat fitting, given not only the rather huge year she's had, but that she also delivered a full-throttle version of her hit "Firework" at last year's AMAs.
For the fifth year, American Music Award winners will be determined by online voting. Fans can support their favorites in all categories by heading over to AMAVote.com.
