Richie & Nikki: 10 songs?
Thanks, T, for dropping this link in my inbox. (No not Terri, another T).
To help close out Fashion Week, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora and designer/Secret Crush member Nikki Lund unveiled the Fall 2011 season of their fashion label, White Trash Beautiful, at New York's Metropolitan Pavilion last night (Feb. 17). The collection was a mix of gowns, cropped blazers, and sheer blouses in a palette of black, teal and gray.
In addition to the fashion collaboration, the pair created an original soundtrack for their runway show. "You will hear a song called 'This Could Be The Night Tonight,' where one of the main hooks is, 'Do you like my ass in these pants?'" Sambora tells Billboard.com. "So obviously, the fashion influenced the music."
Sambora will be on tour with Bon Jovi through the summer, but the guitarist says that he looks forward to continuing his musical relationship with Lund. The pair has finished a total of ten tracks are are planning on developing more.
"I think [the music] is completely different. There is no hint of Bon Jovi. It's like gorilla dance music," notes Sambora. "We just wrote a song that sort of sounds like country and the White Stripes put together. Making independent music is a great outlet for me."

Gorilla dance music? Holy crap, I'm literally weeping. If these tracks are anything like the one we heard last year, I don't wanna know; never want to hear them. Ever. Seriously. And the lyric? Do you like my ass in these pants? Really? Yeah Richie, weeping.

Same here. What a waste . . .
Hey Hath, I had put a comment on your "JBJ Soul Foundation Tickets" post...I was hoping you could please take a look at it if you haven't seen it already and maybe post a reply. Thanks!
Weeping is exactly right. I swear my heart broke when I read that lyric! I have to keep telling myself, this is JUST for the clothing line. The real Richie is still in there somewhere!
I think this is harmless, except somewhat disappointing to those who were hoping Richie would take the time from Bon Jovi's inevitable hiatus to do a more serious record.
But he seems to have the hots for this gal, and she looks his type, so it still sounds like a harmless diversion to me.
Take every Bon Jovi album and I bet you you will find lyrics equally trite in one or more of the songs....some of them really are total cheese when simply read, but they usually sound pretty darn good when they're set to music, so I'll wait to hear the song before passing jusgement. :)
