Donnie "Beautiful Escape"
Scene: Donnie works on his new song in the studio until he is interrupted.

It's getting down to crunch time! Tracks are being laid out rapid-fire and the albums are almost ready to become platinum. Everything is finally coming together...for almost everyone. Donnie keeps getting skimped on studio time and is falling far behind on track numbers. Even though Diddy compliments Donnie on his vocal improvement, Donnie worries that he won't be able to pull his album together on time. The final straw falls while Donnie, who finally managed to snag a couple minutes in the studio to record Beautiful Escape, gets the boot so Day 26 can do some work, instead. Donnie confides his worries to Aubrey, who encourages him to talk with the producers.

The next day, Diddy sets up a meeting in the studio between Donnie and Seven (music producer). Seven's unconventional habits and the smoke-filled studio strike up a good vibe, and Donnie gets excited about a new track But Diddy puts a damper on Donnie's good mood, telling him he doesn't think the track is a good fit for his album.

Meanwhile, Q is trying to bring romance into his and Dawn's 'just buddies' relationship. Aundrea tries to convince Dawn to give in and give Q a chance, but Dawn makes the excuse that she doesn't want anyone to get hurt. This outwardly tough girl gives everyone a glimpse at her vulnerable side later that night when vocal coach, Ankh Rah, pays a visit. The girls take turns singing for Anhk Rah, but when Dawn's turn comes, she can't make the connection that Ankh Rah tries to coax from her. He wants her to let everyone else in on what she's feeling, but she keeps her emotions bottled up. Q, standing just out of sight, sees Dawn shed a tear. Later that night, Q sits down with Dawn at the piano and helps her let her emotions out through music.

Luckily, events take a positive turn the next day. Donnie and Seven work off their positive vibe on the track, and record a song that everyone is happy and impressed with. Dawn, after a flirty game of mini-golf with Q, takes Aundrea's advice and gives Q a sweet smooch. Maybe Dawn can let her emotions carry her away, after all.

DAY26 Tracklisting

From: Badboyblog

I was just sent the tracklisting for Day 26's self titled debut album, along with the tracklisting for the iTunes and Target exclusive versions. These tracklistings may not be absolutely final, but they should be pretty close. Here is the regular version of the album:

1. "I'm The Reason"
2. "Got Me Going"
3. "In My Bed"
4. "Silly Love"
5. "Come With Me"
6. "Co Star"
7. "Come In (My Door's Open)"
8. "Are We In This Together"
9. "What It Feels Like"
10. "Since You've Been Gone"
11. "If It Wasn't For You"
12. "Don't Fight The Feeling"
13. "Ain't Going"
14. "Exclusive (No Excuses)"

The tracklisting given for the iTunes exclusive version is exactly the same, except that it features three mentions of "Got Me Going". Besides one of them being the actual track, I will take a reasonable guess here and say that one of those is the video for the song. What's the other one? Who knows, it could be some sort of remix or it could just be a placeholder for an iTunes exclusive track yet to be picked.

The tracklisting for the Target exclusive version is the same except that there is a new track called "Just Should've Told You".

CTV.CA Interview w/ Brian

"Our sound is very reminiscent of what was going on in the '90s in R&B music," says Brian. "It's real singing. It's got real emotion behind everything right down to the last word." But like any apt pupils, the boys also credit much of their newfound sound to Diddy himself.

"Diddy's a cool cat, but he's also a perfectionist," says Qwanell. "He'll push you until you want to cry. Everybody needs someone like that in their lives. Even if you think you're great he'll push to make you better. That's why I admire him."

Mary Brown - Song Writer

One of the most talented songwriter/producer/singers in the industry is ready to take the tint off the windows and let people see who is really driving the car that keeps pumping those hits down the street. His name is A.D. You may know him as Adonis. In 1997 Adonis moved back to Atlanta after leaving college in only his first year. With big dreams and gigantic aspirations he started a group who would later become one of Atlanta's premier unsigned groups. Under the leadership of then and still current manager Kirk Woods of The Woodland Ent. Group, Adonis began to take his love of writing songs more seriuosly. After the group disbanded in 2000, Kirk set up a chance meeting with BadBoy Publishing. Adonis didnt have any songs recorded so they offered to fly him to New York to meet with Sean Combs aka P.Diddy. In order to secure a spot on the prestigous Hitmen Squad, Adonis had to write a song on the spot for Diddy in 15 minutes. Adonis not knowing what he was writing for put his pen to work. Diddy loved the song so much he put it on the project he was workin on at the time......Jennifer Lopezs' J.LO album. Garnering Adonis his first placement. 6 yrs and 145 song releases later, Adonis has now become a Grammy Award winning Songwriter/producer who is responsible for hits on some of your favorite artist from P.Diddy(I NEED A GIRL pt.I & II) to Usher (MY BOO) to Mariah Carey (SO LONELY) to Beyonce (SUMMERTIME) to Marques Houston (CIRCLE) to Ciara (AND I) to Chris Brown (SAY GOODBYE) Sammie (COME WITH ME) and many many more..... With now 3 Grammy's under his belt and 7 nominations for 2004's smash hit " MY BOO" and for his participation in "The Emancipation Of MiMi" ( the Twista and Mariah duet ), Adonis is going after the fourth. He recently crafted songs for Nicole (of the Pussy Cat Dolls), Enrique Iglesias, Omarion, Gwen Stefani, Mario, Cherish, Ciara (EVOLUTION), Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown (EXCLUSIVE), Fantasia, and JoJo.
