Katy Perry isn't slowing down: After releasing seven singles from her 2010 album 'Teenage Dream,' Perry has released a new single titled 'Part of Me' that will be a part of 'Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection,' a rerelease of the album set for a 2012 debut.

'Part of Me' was co-written by Perry, Dr. Luke, Bonnie Mckee and Max Martin. Perry first performed the song during the 54th Grammy Awards after the track was leaked online in December 2010. Early versions of the song suggested that the song was aimed towards her ex-boyfriend Travis McCoy but later reworked the song to address her divorce with actor Russell Brand.

A mixture of pop, dance and rock, the track is a post-breakup anthem with empowerment lyrics such as "I was poison in your mouth / You took my light, you drained me down / But that was then and this is now, now look at me." The line "Keep your diamond ring" was added to the official release, suggesting that Perry intended to aim the song at her public breakup with Brand.

'Part of Me' is now available on iTunes and fans can hear it on AOL Radio's Fresh 40 station..

Nicki Minaj, arguably one of hip-hop's most successful artists at the moment, has just released 'Starships,' a new track off her forthcoming rerelease of her first album, 'Pink Friday.' 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded' is set to be released April 3, 2012 and will contain brand new tracks as well as all of the songs from her first album which helped her reach superstar status.

The Trinidad-born artist has already had eight singles to reach the Billboard Hot 100 in just two years. For 'Starships,' Minaj trades her usual hard-edged hip-hop beats for a more dance-pop, club vibe that will surely be on the playlists for live DJs everywhere. The song was produced by RedOne, who has produced recent hits such as Enrique Iglesias' 'I Like It,' Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance,' and Jennifer Lopez' 'On the Floor.' The party lyrics are meant to setup a celebratory tone, with Minaj proclaiming, "I'm on the floor, floor / I love to dance / So give me more more, till I can't stand."

'Starships' is now available for download on iTunes. You can also hear the new single on Fresh 40 by clicking on the link below.

The All-American Rejects are back with 'Beekeeper's Daughter,' the first single from their forthcoming album, 'Kids In The Street.' 'Beekeeper's Daughter' isn't a reinvention of the wheel for the All-American Rejects. For years, the band has been able to take songs with depressing subject matter and give them a pop edge that has fans forgetting that they're singing about a breakup or love gone bad. 'Kids In The Street' promises to be an album full of the angst one would expect from the All-American Rejects but with some musical adventures along the way. It's 2012 and in the era of musical reinvention, the group has kept the shine while adding new sparkle.

Going back a few years, the last All-American Rejects mega-hit was a song that would become an anthem of revenge with 'Gives You Hell.' Fast forward to 2012, Tyson Ritter and the boys from AAR are back but without the bitter taste of revenge. The song itself is a departure from the ax-grinding tunes heard in the past. 'Beekeeper's Daughter' is a straight, down-the-middle anthem about loving someone from the opposite side of the street. The song has horns, guitar solos, Tyson Ritter letting it all out, and sugar sweet lyrics.

'Kids in the Street' won't be out until March 26, 2012 but fans can hear 'Beekeeper's Daughter' now on Top Alternative.

Karmin has released their second single 'Brokenhearted' coming off their live performance on Saturday Night Live with host Zooey Deschanel. 'Brokenhearted' comes after the release of their first single, 'Crash Your Party.' Both songs will be featured on their debut album, 'Hello,' slated for release later in 2012.

The music duo comprising of Amy Heidemann and younger brother Eric Heidemann rose to fame as YouTube sensations, having done jazzy pop covers of songs such as Chris Brown's 'Look At Me Now' and Lil Wayne's '6 Foot 7 Foot.' Shortly after Ryan Seacrest featured them on his blog, the band found themselves signed to a major record label.

'Brokenhearted' does not have the edginess that first gave them their viral sensation but it does have that crossover appeal which will win over new fans. In the realm of Katy Perry and Jessie J, 'Brokenhearted' will undoubtedly be a future Top 40 hit with its catchy beat and fun lyrics. Newcomers will also take notice of Amy's rapping skills, which she quietly does on this track.

To hear 'Brokenhearted,' tune to Fresh 40 on AOL Radio.
