Justin Bieber Used By Police To Threaten Drunk Drivers

(Radio.com) Justin Bieber's T-Mobile Super Bowl commercial turned heads: The pop star cycled through a wide array of touchdown moves for the #UnlimitedMoves campaign, featuring special guests like New England Patriot Rob Gronkowski.

As with everything Bieber-related, the spot earned euphoric praise from fans and some skepticism from Justin's haters. A Twitter handle for the Wyoming, Minnesota police department tweeted a warning to drunk drivers: "If you drive drunk tonight we're going to subject you to that Justin Bieber @TMobile Super Bowl Commercial the entire way to jail."

For some, that surely constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. The small-town law enforcement operation earned more than 8,000 retweets and a nation of new fans: They even had to clarify that Wyoming, MN is a city in Minnesota--not the state of Wyoming. Read more here.

Drake Previews New Track 'Hush Up the Silence'

(Radio.com) Drake has been using his Boy Meets World Tour to tease a handful of new tracks allegedly appearing on his forthcoming playlist project More Life, but on Saturday (February 4th) OVO Sound Radio host Oliver El-Khatib took a different tactic and used the program to preview another one.

From the sounds of it, Drake could be shouting out his new lady love Jennifer Lopez in his latest, "Hush Up the Silence." Drake begins singing around the halfway point. "Too mix up in drama to go outside/ Too mix up in drama to free my mind/ Jealous people around me, I need to change my life/ I just turn colder every time I try," he sings. But all that drama falls by the wayside when he thinks about the new woman in his life. "I wanna put you in my life/ Your hair smell like the tropics/ Your body look nice/ One f� can't hold me, we gotta go twice/ I'm here for you, just tell me what you like/ I wanna put you in my life," he sings. He and Lopez have been cozying up since the holidays, so could these new verses be about her?

"Hush Up the Silence" has much in common with Drake's hit single "One Dance," which makes sense considering he once again teamed up with Nigerian singer Wizkid for it. Listen to "Hush Up the Silence" here.

Singled Out: Roger Street Friedman's Everyday

Acclaimed singer/songwriter Roger Street Friedman just released his brand new album "Shoot The Moon" and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the track "Everyday". Here is the story:

"Everyday" came about, like many of my songs do, when I was just strumming my guitar with my red cutaway capo on the 4th fret. It gives the guitar this really nice open sound and I started strumming the main riff in the key of E.

As I was strumming, the words "I'm alright� most of the time" popped into my head and I kind of blocked out the chorus and came up with the chord pattern for the verses.

It all stopped there for a while until I was out riding my bicycle one morning and the bridge popped into my consciousness. I stopped and wrote it down in my phone, and when I got back to my home studio put the arrangement together. The rest of the chorus also came to me then - "it's just me in the way." So I had a chorus and a bridge but no lyrics for verses and that's where I left it.

Later that summer when my band moved into the studio for the basic tracking sessions for "Shoot The Moon," we had 12 songs on the list. We spent four days in a row tracking and then at the end of the last day I pulled out this tune. Everyone was sorta ready to go home, and we were all kind of fried, but Frank (Ferarra the stellar electric guitar player and de-facto musical director) wrote a quick chart and we did three or four takes of the arrangement with me singing the choruses and humming the verses. The energy was so great I knew we had something really special. When I sat down to finish the song it came to me that it was about doing the best I can every day, and just trying to get out of my own way. I mean, most of the time we put up our own obstacles to happiness or success. It's all in how we respond to the trials and tribulations that life throws at us. This song is a reminder to myself (and an invitation to everyone) to choose the path that leads us toward happiness and then just keep putting one foot in front of the other...

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
