Trent Reznor is teaming with Beats by Dre for some "interesting projects," the Nine Inch Nails mastermind announced on his Facebook page. Reznor says he has worked with Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine, Luke Wood and the rest of the Beats by Dre team over the past year, and it appears his involvement is quite deep.

"I have been wanting to experiment and focus my energy and creativity in some different directions, and Beats has afforded me that very opportunity," Reznor writes. "The process has been challenging and fascinating and as much as I'd like to tell you about the things we've dreamed up . . . I just can't. Not yet . . ." Reznor, however, hinted that the project is "probably not what you're expecting!"

Dr. Dre has become hip-hop's highest earning star, in no small part to his Beats by Dre line. Simon Cowell recently released his own high-end headphones to compete with Beats by Dre.

“Too Close”

Next | 1998

Next was formed in Minneapolis when the uncle of Terry "T-Low" and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, who was a gospel choir director, introduced the brothers to Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar. Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
