Estelle ft. Sean Paul- "Come Over"

I mentioned before that I really liked Estelle's first album. "Come Over" featuring Sean Paul was one of the songs that made the album so great. I would describe it as a really great summer album.

Peep the new video..:-)

Kelly Rowland "Blaze"



Word on the street is that Kelly is working on a new album. Here is a song that leaked today and there's no telling if this was a song that didn't quite make it on her last album "Ms. Kelly" or if this is new music. It's a pretty good song...

Listen:

Love, Tweet



Love,Tweet will be released on DECEMBER 9th 2008! As most know Tweet is one of my absolute favorite artist. So very underrated that it hurts. But anyway, it's bittersweet that I must wait a little over a month until her third studio album drops but I'm sure it will be well worth the wait. November and December are jam packed with album releases. Now all I need is for Teedra Moses to announce she's dropping an album soon!...Just wishful thinking. :-)

Check out "Crusin" by Tweet. This song leaked a while ago, and I'm hoping this is the tone of the album. Not sure it this song made it on the album.

Cruisin - Tweet

"Notorious"

Xtina Promo Pics







Aside from her amazing voice and talent what I love about Christina Aguilera is she's constantly changing her look. I love these new promo pictures, very edgy! Christina has a new album coming out November 11th titled,'Keeps Gettin' Better - A Decade Of Hits.' Which includes songs from her last three albums along with a couple new tracks. I hope she follows this with a new album with some NEW material because like many of you Christina fans, I have all of her albums!

BEY-SOL Tour!!!





This is big folks! Beyonce' and Solange will be touring together next year! That's exciting! I know me and my girls will be there. The tour will consist of 110 dates which will make stops in Europe, the U.S (with a one week stop in Las Vegas)Canada, Mexico, South America, Japan, Africa, and Australia.

Beyonce's double disc "I Am..." drops November 18th!!

On a side note I've been hearing so much about these Minx nails that Beyonce' and Solange have been wearing for a while now! I know Beyonce' was on 106 and Park last week, showing off her custom made OBAMA design! (I've also seen Solange and Eve wearing this design as well) Minx nails are being considered an alternative to nail polish, and are made from flexible film strips. They are becoming popular among the ladies in Hollywood mostly because they don't chip! Now that has me SOLD! I have to see this to believe it!

Beyonce- At Last









I feel like every other post is about Beyonce, but she is everywhere right now! I love it! Check out Beyonce's rendition of the Etta James classic "At Last." I personally like it, I can tell she took her time with this one. Of course no one will ever perform this song like Etta James but Bey's version definitely doesn't tarnish the original. I can't wait to see Cadillac Records I know I say this all the time but I love movies about music legends...

Cadillac Records is in theaters December 15th...

Late, Late



Here is the new video from Musiq Soulchild ft. Mary J. Blige titled "IfYOULEAVE." (I'm super Late,Late). As predictable as this song may be I really like it. I previously mentioned that I was a little nervous about Musiq's new direction until he dropped this song. I guess you can't go wrong featuring Mary J.

Musiq's "On My Radio" hits stores December 6th...

Gabriella Cilmi




OK so here is another artist I discovered just by frequently shopping in ol Forever 21. I kid you not every time I go in that place Gabriella Cilmi's hit single "Sweet About Me" is playing. Gabriella Cilmi is an Australian Pop/Blues/Rock artist who is getting much attention due to none other than actual talent! She list her influences as artist like The Doors, Norah Jones, Prince, The Beatles, Roberta Flack, The Fugees and Nina Simone to name more than a few. I guess she's already being compared to Amy Winehouse which is expected. Their voices are similar but the HUGE difference in them is that Amy Winehouse's style is pure soul where Gariella is more Pop/Rock to me. Gabriella's album "Lesson's To Be Learned" is in stores now.

Listen to her music below:

"Sweet About Me" Video

John Legend Ft. Brandy "Quickly"





John Legend and Brandy
on one track is like a dream come true to me. They both have amazing voices and putting them on the track "Quickly" together was simply a great idea. With both of them droping albums this year this should be great for record sales. I love this song and definately feel it should be a single. We need quality music like this in rotation!

Beyonce' News!!

Bey is still working on her world domination! She's got two new movies coming out soon. One being, "Cadillac Records" which also stars Adrian Brody and Jeffrey Wright. In "Cadillac Records" Beyonce' portrays legend, Etta James. I love movies based on music legends (The Temptations, The Jackson Story, What's Love Got To Do With It and well I'm not sure if it counts but The Five Heartbeats). I'm sure this is going to be an awesome movie but I'm even more excited about the soundtrack which drops on December 4Th! (Believe it or not but I have the "Dreamgirls" soundtrack)... She will also star in the movie "Obsession" along with a brand new album for your listening pleasure! I'm so excited about it! :-)




Check out Bey on the cover of Essence Magazine:


Ciara- "THE ORIGINAL"

Ciara, who calls herself "The Original" in this song has released her new video for "Go Girl." (I'm going to assume she uses that term very lightly) Ciara Ft. T-Pain Go Girl premiered today and all jokes aside I really like this video. I think it's pretty creative. She is definitely off to a good start...




Jazmine Sullivan- Bust Your Windows???

Spoiler alert! OK I'll admit that I was expecting to see Jazmine actually "Bustin some windows" in this video but I guess that was little to literal, I'm actually a little disappointed that she didn't. That would've given the song that Women's anthem "Seal of Approval" but oh well. I like the overall direction of the video. For what it's worth "Bust Your Windows" is one of my fav's of 2008.

Take look...


Kanye- Love Lockdown

Kanye's new video for Love Lockdown premiered on Ellen today.

Common- Universal Mind Control

Here is Common's new video, "Universal Mind Control," directed by Hype Williams.

I will let the video speak for itself, although I'm sure you already know what I'm thinkin'...

Oh Swoon...







Common covers the new issue of the 944 magazine. I can't wait for his new album to drop in November. I was hyped when he announced he would be releasing the album in the summer and on top of that he was calling it Invincible Summer. Now that its been pushed back, well I'm still pretty excited. I cant wait to see what he has in store for us. I know he mostly worked with Pharell and Kanye on this album so that makes it certified quality in my opinion. So many great albums coming out this Fall! I can't wait!!!

Janelle Monae- Many Moons

I know I'm a little late but here is Janelle Monae's video for "Many Moons!"

Thank You!



Beyonce' released an official statement in regards to the latest rumors that her album has been pushed back:


“I wanted to address my fans about my upcoming album.

I have worked on this album for close to one year. I have taken the time so I can create my sound. Something that says who I am at this stage in my life. I have poured my heart and soul into it. It is my baby. It is the most time I have spent on any project since my first records as a member of Destiny’s Child when I was 15 years old.

I have recorded over 70 songs and have created a sound that reveals all of me. I am in a different place right now and I wanted people to see the many sides of me. The music is upbeat for the dance, fun side and it is reflective, passionate and serious for the personal side. I have taken risks here. I am not afraid and my music will explain it all. There is no label or tag on my sound. It’s me and I am so excited to share it with the world on November 18.

Love,
BeyoncĂ©”

THANK YOU!! Its official November 18th!! I can't believe she has recorded over 70songs! Hmmm...makes me wonder. I hope it's a double CD! B-day was a little short on tracks in my opinion. I already know this album is going to be one of the best of the year but her letter just makes it even more exciting. To all the Beyonce' fans, the countdown begins!!!

OBAMA 08'



In the November 08' issue of Vibe, OBAMA addresses Vibe readers. How awesome is that?...FYI this is actually the second time that OBAMA was on the cover of VIBE, he was also on the September 07' cover! Make sure to pick up the November issue of Vibe.
