• Gabriel juggling new album with array of projects

  NEW YORK (Billboard) - Peter Gabriel has resumed work onhis next studio album while juggling an array of otherprojects.

  "There are some (new) things," he told Billboard lastFriday in New York. "I've been very

  good at distraction withsome charitable things and some Internet things. But I'm nowback in writing mode and I'm very much enjoying that."

  Gabriel, however, wouldn't put a timetable on when theas-yet-untitled project would be ready. After all, a decadewent by between the release of his last two albums, 1992's "Us"and 2002's "Up."

  "Autumn. Or spring," he said with a laugh when asked abouta potential arrival date. "That usually suffices. In someyear."

  He did not rule out some kind of collaboration with hisex-Genesis bandmates, who are on the road with a successfulreunion tour. There had been talk of presenting the 1974concept album "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" on stage, butGabriel couldn't commit to clearing his schedule for the timenecessary to do so.

  "I'm hoping to see the show because I think they're goingto do some more European dates, he said. "Nothing is excluded(in terms of a possible reunion). We're still breathing and wedon't need to be wheeled onto the stage. But I don't know. It'squite a time commitment to get it sounding right. When WOMAD(Gabriel's world-music festival) started and got into heavyfinancial trouble, (Genesis) extremely generously agreed to doa benefit with me, performing. I learned then it takes a lotlonger than you think to relearn what you think you knew."

  Gabriel, who was in New York for the Audio EngineeringSociety convention, has recently been focusing on the launch ofTheElders.org, which aims to create a coalition of veteranleaders to inspire a younger generation to help solve globalissues. In conjunction, Gabriel is hoping to organize a concerttimed to the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration ofHuman Rights in December 2008.

  "With any luck it will be the most significant bands of thenew generation," he said. "I hope we can make it happen."

• Public art -- literally -- for London's Trafalgar Square

  LONDON (AFP) - Public art will soon take on a literal meaning after London Mayor Boris Johnson on Monday announced an unusual new commission for the city's Trafalgar Square.

  Award-winning sculptor Antony Gormley's conc

  ept "One And Other" was chosen as one of the next works for the landmark square, using up to 2,400 volunteers to occupy the "empty" fourth plinth around the clock for 100 consecutive days.

  Johnson chose the proposal and a second by Yinka Shonibare that pays homage to Britain's most famous naval commander, Admiral Horatio Nelson, whose statue gazes down from the towering column which is the square's historic centrepiece.

  "It was obviously a tough decision," the mayor said after announcing the winners from a six-strong shortlist. "All of the short-listed proposals had their own merits.

  "But I am very excited about the prospect of real people standing on the plinth in one of the great public squares of the world."

  Shonibare, who was born in London but raised in Nigeria, will put a replica of Nelson's flagship Victory in a giant glass bottle atop the plinth, with sails made from textiles bought from a street market in Brixton, south London.

  "For me it's a celebration of London's immense ethnic wealth, giving expression to and honouring the many cultures and ethnicities that are still breathing precious wind into the sails of the UK," he said.

  Gormley said that putting people on a plinth made the human body a "metaphor, a symbol and allows us to reflect on the diversity, vulnerability and particularity of the individual in the contemporary society".

  The British sculptor is famous for the giant Angel of the North statue in northeast England and has won the Turner Prize, Britain's most prestigious -- and often controversial -- modern art award.

  The fourth plinth in the northwest of Trafalgar Square was built in 1841 and intended for an equestrian statue but was left empty for lack of funds. A public art scheme has seen it occupied by different works since 1999.

  One of the most famous sculptures was Marc Quinn's marble depiction of artist Alison Lapper, who was born without arms and shortened legs, who posed for him while heavily pregnant.

  It is currently occupied by Thomas Schuette's "Model for a Hotel 2007", an architectural model for a 21-storey building made in red, yellow and blue glass and weighing more than eight tonnes.

  "But I am very excited about the prospect of real people standing on the plinth in one of the great public squares of the world."

  The sculptures will be shown from spring 2009, but which will go on display first has not yet been decided, a spokeswoman for the mayor's office told AFP.

  Shonibare, who was born in London but raised in Nigeria, will put a replica of Nelson's flagship Victory in a giant glass bottle atop the plinth, with sails made from textiles bought from a street market in Brixton, south London.

  "For me it's a celebration of London's immense ethnic wealth, giving expression to and honouring the many cultures and ethnicities that are still breathing precious wind into the sails of the UK," he said.

  Gormley said that putting people on a plinth made the human body a "metaphor, a symbol and allows us to reflect on the diversity, vulnerability and particularity of the individual in the contemporary society".

  On Monday, Britain's tallest piece of free-standing artwork was unveiled on the site of the former Raleigh bicycle factory in Nottingham, east central England.

  At 196 feet (60 metres), the "Aspire" tower, which resembles an ice-cream cornet without the ice cream, is three times as tall as Gormley's most famous work, the giant Angel of the North statue in northeast England.

  The tower will even dwarf Nelson's Column, which measures 170 feet.

• Jimmy Smits drama "Cane" shows promise on CBS

  Cane , 10-11 p.m., CBS)

  LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Quick: What was the lastLatino-themed drama series to have a decent run on networktelevision?

  That was a trick question -- because there haven't beenany. Showtime ha

  d "Resurrection Blvd." and PBS the superb"American Family" earlier this decade, but that has essentiallybeen it. The broadcast guys haven't been able to mount an hourfeaturing a predominantly Latino cast, but they finally scoreda comedy hit with "George Lopez."

  This season, CBS is giving drama another shot with "Cane,"a slick and earnest soap about rival families in southernFlorida. One makes sugar and rum; the other makes trouble. Andpresiding over it all is the ever-capable Jimmy Smits, who hasbeen around long enough to play a world-weary heavyweightrather than the affable hunk of roles past. The show will sinkor swim on his broad shoulders, and early indications arereasonably promising.

  Despite the title, there is actually nobody named Canehere. The primary clan here is the Duques, a Cuban-Americanfamily headed by patriarch Pancho (Hector Elizondo) andmatriarch Amalia (Rita Moreno, still breathing fire). They havean ambitious son, Frank (Nestor Carbonell), who sees as hisbirthright the assumption of their mega-successful rum andsugar empire. Frank is locked in a power struggle with AlexVega (Smits), Pancho's son-in-law who married into the businessvia his daughter Isabel (Paola Turbay), while youngest sonHenry (Eddie Matos) is content to stay on the sidelines andaway from the battle.

  On the other side are members of the Samuels family, theDuques' bitter adversaries who run their own sugar biz andresort to dirty tricks like killing family members when thingsdon't go their way.

  In the opener, penned by executive producer Cynthia Cidre,things heat up after the Samuels family makes a businessproposition to buy out the Duques' sugar interest and leavethem concentrating solely on rum. Pancho agrees to hear themout despite his abiding mistrust. Frank wants to sell, but hehas his own conflicted agenda (as well as a romanticrelationship with a Samuels lass).

  Alex, trying to sort things out and keep his family fromdoing any business with the dreaded enemy, is the purportedgood guy here, struggling to keep his own family (includingthree kids, one of whom wants to bag a scholarship to M.I.T. tojoin the service!) in line while at the same time showing thathe's not above dirty trickery himself.

  The dialogue in Cidre's teleplay has a propensity for stiffpronouncements that too often finds the characters talking at,rather than to, each other. Direction from Christian Duguay,who helmed the 2003 CBS miniseries "Hitler: The Rise of Evil,"is stylish and savvy, evoking quiet intensity despite thescript's shortcomings. Smits is convincingly passionate, hischarismatic countenance very much in evidence.

  There's enough juice in the "Cane" premise to build afollowing. It may help that the characters' ethnicity is mostlyincidental to the story line rather than central. Even so, thedeck is a bit stacked in its having to compete head-to-headwith ABC's "Boston Legal" and "Law & Order: SVU" on NBC. Whilethis is not an impossible time slot in which to make headway, abreakthrough could be iffy.

• Billboard single reviews: Miley Cyrus, Ludacris

  ARTIST: MILEY CYRUS

  SINGLE: FLY ON THE WALL

  NEW YORK (Billboard) – With success in music, film and TV, Miley Cyrus is a teen triple threat. Since most of that success has fallen under her fictional Hannah Montana Disn

  ey franchise, Cyrus is now out to form her own musical identity, co-writing most of her platinum No. 1 album, "Breakout." The album's second single, "Fly on the Wall," finds the singer influenced by Gwen Stefani and Avril Lavigne, while her more experienced (read: older) co-writers wink and inject some '80s new wave influences, a la Blondie and the B-52s, which means fans' parents can join in on the fun, too. Cyrus is still growing into her voice, but she gives a convincing turn as a kick-ass pop/rock chick, especially on the bridge where she gets a chance to let loose.

  ARTIST: LUDACRIS

  SINGLE: UNDISPUTED (DEF JAM)

  Ludacris literally puts himself inside a boxing ring on "Undisputed" as retired undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. coaches him on how to win against any and all challengers. And how: With one punch line after another flawlessly delivered in brazen fashion, it's undeniable that he remains among the best MCs in hip-hop. It's been only two years since his last album, but the music industry has a short memory. So "Undisputed" not only reminds listeners how Ludacris became a champion in rap, but also -- and more important -- why he remains one.

  ARTIST: JOHN MELLENCAMP

  SINGLE: TROUBLED LAND (HEAR MUSIC)

  At this point, John Mellencamp has nothin' to prove. With his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year alongside a Grammy Award and 12 other nods, counting hits is beside the point. Previous single "My Sweet Love," featuring Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town, from current folk rock album "Life, Death and Freedom," was a triumph at triple A. Follow-up "Troubled Land" is signature Mellencamp fare -- that means a laid-back vocal and smart lyric: "Stand up and holler, lay down and die/ We can turn up our collars and never try/ Just know the truth is coming, to bring peace to this troubled land." Producer T Bone Burnett conjures an organic landscape, fostering ideal fare for all who connect with music beyond the surface.

  ARTIST: HEIDI NEWFIELD

  SINGLE: WHAT AM I WAITING FOR (CURB)

  After spending 10 years as lead vocalist for Trick Pony, Heidi Newfield successfully broke out with top 15 country hit "Johnny & June." Second single from her top 10 "What Am I Waiting For" CD finds the singer in more familiar territory, with a rollicking country-rock sound. Newfield shows what experience can bring to interpretation, as her whiskey-soaked voice portrays the story of two people who use self-reliance for survival. With so many great female vocalists out there emoting sensuality and heartbreak, it's a nice change of pace to hear a tougher country chick who sounds like she can hang with the boys.

  ARTIST: LIFEHOUSE

  SINGLE: BROKEN (GEFFEN)

  Lifehouse maintains a long string of fast-rising adult top 40 hits with "Broken," the third single from album "Who We Are" and the band's third consecutive top 10 single at the format from the set. The rock ballad takes an introspective look at the fragility of life and has tugged the heartstrings of viewers of TV shows "Grey's Anatomy," "The Hills" and "One Tree Hill." Co-producer Jude Cole's buddy and business partner Kiefer Sutherland takes on directorial duties alongside music video director Frank Borin, as lead singer Jason Wade escapes a disaster zone in a tunnel piled with cars, just one powerful interpretation of the chilling lyrics: "I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing, with a broken heart that's still beating/In the pain there is healing, in your name I find meaning."

  ARTIST: THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS

  SINGLE: GIVES YOU HELL (INTERSCOPE)

  The All-American Rejects can craft solid pop-rock songs, as they demonstrated on the 2005 double-platinum album "Move Along," which spawned two top 10s and one top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. First single "Gives You Hell," from the December 16 release "When the World Comes Down," channels Freddie Mercury with impeccable harmonies and falsetto flair from lead singer Tyson Ritter, as the band slams its instrumental signature and a catchy, antagonizing crowd chorus toward the track's end adds a novel turn.
