Kerser Ready to Drop Sixth Album

Kerser is on target to achieve his goal of releasing ten albums in ten years with the impending launch of album number six, Tradition, on November 18. He’s released a new LP every year since his debut, The Nebulizer, dropped in October 11.

After working with Sinima Beats on his last record, the  MC from Campbelltown was keen to have the producer back on board for his latest release.

“We wanted to make it a lot more versatile and I think we’ve done that,” he enthused in a press release. “We’ve covered heaps of styles and a bit of dance, a bit of boom bap, a bit of original stuff … There’s a bit of everything on it.”

One of those tracks, “Bad Habits,” almost didn’t make the cut, but when fans swamped his YouTube channel Kerser knew this brutally honest song deserved its place on Tradition.

“Every album, I move up,” Kerser insists. You can find out if he’s right when Tradition hits stores on November 18.

X Factor’s Dami Im Tops ARIA Singles Charts

When I watched Katy Perry perform her smash hit single “Roar” on the X Factor finale, I remember thinking that Dami Im sang the song better a couple of weeks prior. So perhaps it’s fitting that Dami’s roared louder on the ARIA Charts this week and beaten Miss Perry to the top spot. The reigning X Factor queen has scored her first Australian number one with “Alive.”

Guy Sebastian’s appearance on the finale appears to have done him some good too. His latest single “Like a Drum,” the first to come from his forthcoming seventh album, is sitting at number four on debut. The song is Guy’s 12th top ten single.

Last year’s X Factor contestant Nathaniel continues to do great business with “You.” It only slipped slightly this week to claim the seventh spot on the charts. It pipped Justice Crew’s newie “Everybody,” which jumped ten spots to sit at number eight.

Last week’s number one album, Triple J’s Like a Version Volume 9, has fallen to number four this week. It beat out Kerser’s S.C.O.T. and Tina Arena’s Reset, which sit at number five and six respectively.
