British singer-songwriter Katie Melua has sold more than 10 million albums, mostly in the U.K. and Europe, and even has a Dutch tulip named after her. Breaking the U.S. is also on her agenda, but she doesn't expect to be an overnight success.

"People go, 'Oh, you have to break America!,'" Melua, who's in the midst of a brief North American tour to promote last month's release of her third album, "Pictures" (an October 2008 release overseas), tells Billboard.com. "To me, it's just another place with a bunch of lovely people. Yes, it's bigger and harder to break, but I don't mind a bit of hard work. It's not really any different than taking in anywhere else."

Melua, who's just released a live album recorded at London's O2 Arena, wraps up her North American swing on Friday in Nashville, with an appearance on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" set for Wednesday. She'll be in Europe during July and early August but says she plans to spend most of the rest of the year working on her fourth studio album. It will be her first not produced by and co-written with her manager, Mike Batt, who discovered Melua while she was studying at the BRIT School for the Performing Arts.

"It's exciting and scary because he's been such a huge part of what I've done, and so sort of incredible and nurturing and just inspiring with it all," Melua notes. "I'm kind of going out on my own for the first time. I'm excited but a bit worried, too. But it's time to grow up a little bit and take full responsibility for myself. I suppose you have to take that leap from a bridge once in awhile, don't you, and see if you can fly."

Melua isn't offering up any details about her flight plan, however. "It's too early to talk about it at the moment," she says of the next album. "I just think it feels too soon. I want to get it done before I'm talking about it. I really do believe in doing before talking, so...just watch this space for the time being."

Four discs worth of unreleased demos, alternate takes, rarities, and live cuts are on tap for cult-rock act Big Star this fall when Rhino releases "Keep An Eye On The Sky" on September 15. The 98 tracks cull from 1968 – 1975, and include pre-Big Star bands Rock City and Icewater, solo work from Alex Chilton and Chris Bell, and unreleased material from the "#1 Record," "Radio City" and "Third/Sister Lover" sessions.

While Big Star struggled with success commercially, their early 70's, power-pop sound is often cited as directly influencing bands like Cheap Trick, R.E.M. and the Replacements. Big Star's music is undergoing a resurgence, with a film is reportedly in the works - based on Rob Jovanovic's biography, "Big Star: The Story of Rock's Forgotten Band" - and songs have been used in several TV shows, including the Cheap Trick version of "In The Street" as the theme song to "That ‘70s Show."

"Just when you're thinking everything has been released, apparently it hasn't," Big Star drummer Jody Stephens tells Billboard.com. "Adam Hill is an engineer here at Ardent [Studios] – and the Big Star tape vault aficionado. He's the guy who's been digging through stuff, figuring out when stuff was done."

While there are numerous demos unearthed on the first two discs, Stephens doesn't recall the band utilizing a demo process that often. "With the first album, ["#1 Record] I don't really remember "demoing" things per se," he says. "I do remember sitting down with the material for the first album, and have the material unfold as the rehearsal went on. It was a pretty remarkable time."

While Big Star gigs were that of a rare thing, the fourth disc culls live material from three nights the band performed in January 1973. They were booked as the opening act for soul pioneers Archie Bell & The Drells at the Lafayette Music Room in Memphis. Stephens recalls those performances being rather difficult. "Not exactly our crowd," Stephens says. "After our performances you can hear one person clap. Not a lot of energy coming back from the audience. The good thing about that particular recording is that there were mics set up in the room. It wasn't a board feed, where those can be kind of dry."

Aside from Big Star material from "#1 Record," the band tackles The Flying Burrito Brothers' "Hot Burrito # 2," The Kinks' "Come On Now," and T.Rex's "Baby Strange." "It's an interesting snapshot of what we were doing while we were trying to make out way," he says of the live material.

In related news, Rhino will rerelease Chris Bell's solo record, "I Am The Cosmos," as a deluxe edition this fall. Big Star still plays the occasional gig and will join Tindersticks on July 1 at London's Hyde Park.

When Wale announced the release of his single "Chillin' " in April, it was met with a few raised eyebrows. The D.C. MC had enlisted Lady Gaga for the track, and many wondered how the performance-art, dance-pop princess would fit in Wale's world of go-go and clever flows. They also wondered if it were just an attempt to garner some notoriety for the up-and-coming rapper standing alongside the hugely popular Gaga.

Once the song was released, others wondered why he hadn't just grabbed M.I.A for the hook; Gaga's "Chillin' " chorus sounds eerily similar to M.I.A.'s world-traveled flow. When MTV News caught up with Wale on the video set for "Chillin'," he said his goal was to go against the status quo of what a hip-hop track should sound like.

"Diddy, Kanye and Jay are always the first ones to do something, and I like to think of myself as the first person of the new class to kind of step out of the box," Wale said. "It's 2009 now. Jay-Z is doing sold-out arenas with Kelly Clarkson. It's world music now. I want 'Chillin' ' to be a celebration of that."

Wale had been campaigning since November to get Lady Gaga on a track, because he felt she embodied the song's party-record feel.

"If music was a high school, I feel like I'll be the dude on the football team, and it would be like, 'OK, Gaga's having a party!' And you know all the bad girls are going to be out there."

Gaga told MTV News on the video set that Mark Ronson, Wale's mentor, originally sent her the record. "I really wanted to sit down with Wale before I wrote the hook," she recalled. "Because to me, it's really lame when people send you tracks, and they're like, 'All right, Gaga, throw your vocals on it.' This is Wale's record. It's not my record."

Gaga said Wale sounds like he's been rapping for years. His hip-hop braggadocio seems to have rubbed off on her as well. Her portion of the song — which includes the lines "Lookin' at, lookin' at, lookin' at me/ Eyes on me like honey on bees" — is completely narcissistic, she admitted, but in a really positive way. "It's one of those songs, one of those tracks and one of those videos that you can't stop listening to," she said.

Despite the catchiness of the song and their apparent chemistry on set, Wale recognized that some people still won't get it. Breaking down barriers in music isn't an easy thing, he said, but that won't stop him from trying: "If Jay-Z can work with Coldplay, then Wale should be able to work with Gaga."
