Yup, Another Top Album Has Been Leaked To The Net, This Time It's Mary J. Bliges's New Record; Growing Pains.

At first listen, I'm not sure it was what I expected, but I don't want to make judgment yet, expect a review within a week or so.

Finally, Just Short Of It's Official US Release, Here Is One Of The Most Highly Anticipated Records Of The Year.

Love Me All Summer, Hate Me All Winter is the full title of The-Dream's first album, this guy is hot! He is a producer, writer & singer, he has already been responsible for two of the biggest joints of the year, he wrote Rihanna's Umbrella & J. Holidays's Bed.

I have been excited about this album for such a long time & I haven't been disappointed, I don't want to say too much about the album until I have had a lot of listens. I will be doing a full review pretty soon, for now all I will say is you will want to listen to She Needs My Love, an instant favorite & a HUGE track!

1. Shawty Is Da sh*t (ft. Fabolous)
2. I Luv Your Girl
3. Fast Car
4. She Needs My Love
5. Falsetto
6. Playin' In Her Hair
7. Purple Kisses
8. Ditch That
9. Nikki
10. Luv Songs
11. Livin' A Lie (ft. Rihanna)


The-Dream - Love Hate


Heard The Album?
Love To Know What You Think...

One Of The Greatest Voices In Music Returns With A New Album & New Single Called Hate On Me.

Jill Scott, while still never reaching the mainstream audience, still holds a huge 'cult' following & for good reason. This track is awesome, the vocal performance is on par with any of the great singers out there & the video, while being pretty cheap still does it justice.

Jill still maintains that she doesn't hit mainstream radio stations because the audience wants to hear beautiful people, not beautiful voices. I don't really agree with this because there are some real uglies in the music game that do well; (sorry to people in the list) Fantasia, Lil' Kim, Aretha Franklin ETC.

Check Out The Video Below & Let Me Know What You Think Of The Track, Especially If You Have Never Heard Of Jill Scott?

After Poor Sales & Bad Reviews, You Have To Give Credit To Jennifer Lopez For Continuing With The Single Releases From Her Album Brave.

The video for her next single; Hold It Don't Drop It is a so-so effort, no real theme, just a good party track, I can imagine this doing well in the club scene.

To be fair, this track is a favorite from the lack-luster album, but then again there is very little to chose from. It has some nice production & is an easy listen, but I personally feel that J-Lo has lost that edge she used to have, she is no longer very 'street' & now more 'pop'.

Finally! The Video For Kelly Rowland's Next UK Single Has Been Released.

Work is a personal favorite of mine from the poor performing Ms Kelly, which is now experiencing a re-release. I'm puzzled why this track is not a world single, I think it's equally as good as Like This.

The video is hot, it's faced paced camera shots & cool choreography match the track well, this will be a club banger over the coming months. I hope that this is the start of a long run of solid singles, this lady cannot afford another round of poor sales, otherwise her only hope is a Destiny's Child reunion.

Here Is The Video Premiere For The-Dream's Second US Single Falsetto.

For those who don't know, where you been? The-Dream is a singer, songwriter & producer who penned, among others; Rihanna's - Umbrella; J Holiday's - Bed & Mary J Blige's Recent Hit Just Fine.

This guy is 'Uber Cool' he reeks of talent & is one of my hot picks for the year to come. His album Love Hate is due to drop next week in the US, but currently has no UK release date, which has annoyed me to say the least. Although his first UK single is a track called Ditch That, which I will be featuring pretty soon!

Seriously cannot wait to get my hands on the album, for now, check out the video below & let me know what you guys think?

Continuing The Support Of The UK Artists, Here Is The Brand New Video From Asian Star Jay Sean.

Ride It has an R&B feel with some solid vocals & is a strong representation of the Desi Beat Sound, which is growing support in the UK urban scene. This is a slick record & I am really feeling it, this guy is back on the block & I love it.

In my opinion, Jay Sean, & other UK artists can easily match or beat their US counterparts, this track is far better than a lot of songs on Mario's current album. It is a real shame that the international music scene cannot grasp the amount of underground talent on the shores of Britain, your missing out!

After Significant Success In The UK Charts With Her First Two Singles, Here Is The Video For Mutya Buena's Third Solo Single.

I featured this song months ago as a highlight of her album Real Girl, & I'm glad it has been picked as a single. It's also great to her Amy Winehouse giving her vocal ability & the hype that goes with her name to a smaller artist.

The video is not up to much, very disappointing, & unsurprisingly Amy didn't manage to make the video shoot. Mutya is not looking good in this video, shoot the stylist! I have been proved wrong by this girl, I predicted that the ex Sugababe would fail as a solo artist, but even I'm wrong sometimes. Jokes!

As Kelly Rowland Makes The Final Preparations For The Re-Release Of Her Ill-Fated Album Ms Kelly, Here Is The Return Single.

Daylight is a high-tempo 'R&B-Pop' record which features Travis McCoy of the Gym Class Heroes. When I first heard rumors of this track I was pretty excited, I imagined a 'Club-Banger' with some 'Fire Production'.

Instead we are left with a middle of the road record which is leaves you unfulfilled & disappointed, Kelly is deeper than this, her original album contained some top tracks, solid production & heart-felt input from the R&B star. The poor sales IMO were due to the poor PR & lack of effort from the record company.

I heard rumors that Kelly was thinking of quiting the music scene, I'm afraid to say, if she can't pull something out to match former band mate Beyonce then that might soon be a reality. I hope that does not happen.

I'm Not Usually Into Posting Up Pics Of Celebrities Looking Bad, I'm Not A Hater, But This One Has Got To Be Seen.

I love Amy Winehouse's music & really hope that she gets better, this ain't an addiction, this is a disease. This pic was taken at 5.45AM on Sunday, after Amy walked out of a friends house & just started randomly wandering the streets, before returning to the house a few minutes later.



I honestly think it is only a matter of time before the drugs kill her, or she takes her own life, I honestly hope that someone can help her out before we lose a true talent.

R&B Beauty Rihanna Is Continuing Her World-Wide Domination Of The 'Pop-R&B' Market With Her Fifth Single From Good Girl Gone Bad.

Breakin' Dishes is a high-tempo, energetic song which, in my opinion, is a highlight of her very likable 3rd album. The track's theme (is you can call it that) is Rihanna getting pretty pissed with her man & starts; Breakin' Dishes.

Although Rihanna does not have the vocal ability to match the likes of Beyonce or Mariah, nor the charisma. I find it so hard to hate on her, she is a cool, young woman making some very radio friendly music. Check out the track below & let me know what you guys think of it?
