Jason Aldean: Party Crasher

Jason Aldean says he didn’t worry that Kelly Clarkson might show him up on the duet they share on Aldean’s new album. “Hell, I knew she would, ” the country star admits with a laugh. “But because of the type of song it is, I knew it wasn’t something just any female singer could pull off. We needed Kelly’s soulful, breathy sound.”

A dramatic, slow-building power ballad in the style of Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart, ” “Don’t You Wanna Stay” is one of a handful of tracks on “My Kinda Party, ” due Nov. 2 from Broken Bow Records, that move away from the pumped-up arena-country vibe for which Aldean has become known since his self-titled 2005 debut. In “See You When I See You” he dials down the guitars for a tender meditation on the meaning of goodbye, while “If She Could See Me Now” mines a plaintive folk-rock vein.

Ryan Seacrest Foundation Builds First Broadcast Media Center at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta

Throughout my 20-year career in the entertainment business, I’ve visited numerous hospitals and centers across the country that have the weighty task of caring for children facing challenges because of life-threatening disease or injury. I have consistently been amazed by the courage of the children and their families and in awe of the tireless dedication and brilliance of doctors and hospital staff who work to give hope and solutions to so many families on a daily basis. As a result of my experiences I wanted to have a more lasting impact on children’s lives, which in turn inspired me to recently create the Ryan Seacrest Foundation (RSF), a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for seriously ill and injured children through unique programs that utilize multimedia and interactive platforms to enlighten, entertain and educate.
