London singer-songwriter Adele is poised to be the new face of soul. The 19-year-old -- with a Brit award and a No. 1 single under her belt -- brought her transcendental tunes to the Interface, performing four bare-bones tracks from her forthcoming U.S. release of '19.' "I like to think of myself as a soul singer, hugely influenced to Roberta Flack, Lauren Hill and Etta James," she tells Spinner.
Guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani has accused the members of Coldplay of lifting "substantial original portions" from one of his songs and using it in the band's recent hit, 'Viva La Vida.' With his copyright infringement suit, filed Thursday in Los Angeles, the 52-year-old shredder is seeking damages and "any and all profits" from the group for allegedly plagiarizing his 2004 instrumental 'If I Could Fly.'It's not clear whether the complaint dives into specifics of the "substantial" similarities between the two songs. However, a quick, side-by-side listen to both tracks reveals a kinship between the melodies in Coldplay's verse and Satriani's main riff.Guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani has accused the members of Coldplay of lifting "substantial original portions" from one of his songs and using it in the band's recent hit, 'Viva La Vida.'

Almost two months shy of releasing their third album, 'Perfect Symmetry,' Keane have finally touched down on American soil for a string of intimate dates.

Meanwhile, they have three tiny gigs in Los Angeles, starting today, before heading back home for the holidays. But Chaplin said the band is looking forward to heading west once again after the New Year.
