YES!!!! Mr West last studio album is a true testament to modern music, modern art and we’re so ready to hear what hes been working on this past year.
The project is said to feature Frank Ocean, Big Sean, John Legend, 2 Chainz, Rihanna, Jay-Z and maybe even Beyonce. The new title will premiere June 18th, a few weeks after Yeezy’s 36th birthday!
Peep what could be the first single, “New Slaves”:
We’re pretty big Chrisette Michele fans, love her vocals and her writing. Her new album drops next month on the 11th and promises to be her best since “Epiphany”, one of our favorite r&b albums.. The series “Journey To Better” is a 5 part doc covering the creation and inspiration behind her new album. Part 4 is missing, sorry…
Yea, we’re happy and excited about another baby but we can’t go without acknowledging that this is officially the end of her prime.. She’s hinted at new music all year, really since November 2012 and this only confirms our previous reports about her pushing this album back to 2014….an album that can and will make or break her….
We’re disappointed in her, immensely but it’s her life, her career…
YESSSS!!!! The diva look’d AMAZING, back down to promo weight, gorgeous and ready to promote her 13th studio album!!
Mimi took to the stage to perform some of the biggest hits of her career, including “Vision Of Love”, We Belong Together”, “My All” and her new single, “#Beautiful”. Collaborator, Miguel is currently touring and wasn’t able to be apart of the show but Mariah KILLED it, amazing performance!!
We’re so ready to hear new music from the diva, huge Mimi stans!!!
The diva debuts in the top 40 thanks to the overwhelmingly positive response to her new collaboration with Miguel. Billboard reports the following:
The Hot 100′s highest debut belongs to Mariah Carey’s “#Beautiful,” featuring Miguel, which begins at No. 24. The track launched on Hot 100 Airplay at No. 44 last week with 31 million impressions after just two days of airplay, aided heavily on its first day (May 6) by coordinated airplay on Clear Channel Media and Entertainment stations. This week, with that hefty first day of spins now in the previous tracking period, “#Beautiful” maintains its No. 44 Hot 100 Airplay rank and 31 million in audience (up less than 1%). Following its first full week of sales, it enters Hot Digital Songs at No. 10 (114,000), marking her eighth top 10 on the tally and first since “Obsessed” reached No. 6 in 2009. “#Beautiful” falls shy of the Streaming Songs chart with 461,000 first-week streams.
The lead single from Carey’s forthcoming 13th studio album charges 32-7 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and 16-2 on R&B Songs and debuts at No. 1 on R&B Digital Songs.
We haven’t approved of much of Beyonce’s business decisions in the last 3 years. It’s like she thinks of what her father would do in a given scenario and does the opposite. It’s unnerving! HipHopWired reports the following of her cancelled dates, photography ban and possible pregnancy:
Everyone remembers the fiasco involving Buzzfeed’s Beyoncé photos at the Super Bowl this year, ultimately launching a ban on all performance photos from the singer’s camp. Well, the media is striking back, explaining that this boycott could do more harm than good for the superstar Mrs. Carter.Poynter reports that the National Press Photographers Association penned a letter to Beyoncé’s publicity firm Schure Media Group. The letter, written by the NPPA’s attorney Mickey H. Osterreicher, urged the PR firm to reconsider this drastic measure, stating that “removing the ban will help, not harm, [Beyoncé's] image in the long run.” Organizations like the Associated Press Media Editors Association, the Radio Television Digital News Association, the Society of Professional Journalists and the American Society of Media Photographers were all represented in the letter.
Poynter notes that during this time, media outlets are being forced to use older action shots of Bey on stage – the very flicks that she and her team were horrified by previously. It’s a Catch-22 whether not allowing any new photography will mean poorly angled photos.
Plus, nothing is more unattractive than a shaky iPhone picture taken at a 45-degree angle. Time to reconsider this mess, King Bey.
Also, the R&B and Pop diva recently cancelled a Belgium show under orders from her doctor, which will surely only lead to more Beyoncé is pregnant chatter.
The diva’s last album failed to meet sales expectations so she’s returning to the voice in the Fall. Given the performance of her last 2 or 3 albums, a show like “The Voice” is maybe something she should consider long term…. SingersRoom reports the following:
Could Christina Aguilera
return to her big red chair in the Fall? According to trusted sources, the Grammy-winning vocalist is in negotiations to return to “The Voice.”
During an upfront presentation Monday, NBC confirmed that “The Voice” will air both this Fall 2013 and Spring 2014, within the same time slot on Monday nights. A slight adjustment will be made to Tuesday airings, moving to 9 p.m. (instead of 8 p.m.).
It’s unclear when Aguilera might return, but the possibility of a return isn’t shocking. When her departure was announced last year, producer Mark Burnett expressed that it was possible to have coaches come and go, noting that breaks were plausible to allow them to tour and promote musical efforts.
“These are current touring artists, so it’s a matter of balancing schedules,” he shared last year. ”They’re all in demand and we’re just balancing it all.”
When Christina Aguilera parted with “The Voice” last year, she did so under a plan to promote her last album, “Lotus.”
If Christina Aguilera returns it is likely that Shakira, who joined the panel this Spring, will exit.
Sources say Aguilera’s deal could be at or around $12 million.
