The-Dream is ready to take his show on the road. In preparation for his Love IV album, the singer/songwriter is getting ready to embark on a new tour, and on Thursday (February 23), he's planning to drop a new song to commemorate the run.
The Kill the Lights Tour will begin March 11 in New York, and The-Dream is dropping his new single of the same name. "The name of the song is actually 'Kill the Lights,' featuring my artist Casha," he said on Wednesday's "RapFix Live."
The song will be featured on the upcoming Love IV, which the ATL crooner estimates will be out in the spring or summer — he doesn't want to put an exact date on it. The-Dream already dropped the LP's first single, "ROC," earlier this year, and in addition to his new LP, he wants to concentrate on grooming Casha, who made her first appearance on The-Dream's free digital album 1977 singing a remake of Minnie Riperton's "Love, Stop Making a Fool of Me."
"I'm just channeling and building her the right way and giving her the right time," he said of his new artist. "I'm not trying to get, 'She better come out and sell this'; I'm not doing that. She's too talented for that."
Instead of creating microwave hits with Casha, The-Dream would rather take his time. "She's going to sell on her own, she's great, she'll be fine," he said. "I'm trying to slow-bake it."

The Academy Awards are shaping up to be a veritable death match between "The Artist" and "The Descendants." Michel Hazanavicius' nostalgia-driven silent film and Alexander Payne's set-in-Hawaii spiritual journey are the front-runners at the Oscars this year, with most onlookers divided on which of these two films will walk away with the top prizes.
Looking beyond Best Picture, the battle between "Artist" and "Descendants" is guaranteed to come down to the Best Actor category. Though five actors are nominated, all signs are pointing to two names for the highly coveted award: George Clooney, nominated for his heartbroken and heartbreaking turn as soon-to-be-widower Matt King in "The Descendants," and Jean Dujardin's performance in "The Artist" as George Valentin, a silent-film actor on the verge of extinction.
Both Clooney and Dujardin are deserving candidates to be sure, but are they guaranteed the win? Could there be a spoiler in the mix? Read on for our predictions and wishes for this year's Best Actor category.
Who Will Win: Yes, in all likelihood, it's down to Dujardin and Clooney. Both turned in praiseworthy performances in their respective films. Dujardin's wordless ways have captivated voters throughout awards season. Likewise, it's impossible to resist Clooney's charms. Both men walked away from the Golden Globes with new awards in their hands. One of them will have an Oscar to add to his trophy shelf come Sunday night. It's essentially a coin toss, but we're putting our money on Camp Clooney. "The Artist" will take Best Picture, and this will be the consolation prize for the "Descendants" crew.
Who Should Win: Gary Oldman for "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy." It's nearly impossible to believe that Oldman has never been nominated for an Oscar before. But that nomination has finally arrived, for a fairly understated performance as far as Oldman roles go, no less. Oldman's espionage veteran George Smiley isn't the flashiest character in the actor's catalog, but it is the first character to earn Oldman a nomination. And frankly, few expected the esteemed British actor to even earn a nomination at this year's Oscars in the first place. But sometimes, all it takes is a foot in the door to win. Consider this Oldman's foot in the door ... and don't be surprised if he manages to sneak the rest of himself all the way in.
