Previously reported was Fergie's lead single where she shot a cameo-filled music video with a bunch of celebrity mums. It is now titled 'M.I.L.F.$,' and according to Universal Music Singapore, it is set to be released on digital retailers and streaming services from July 1st (this Friday). The track is lifted off her upcoming 'Double Duchess' album. You ready?!
What did BET have to do to get Beyoncé this year? You know she'll only show her face every few years (if that). Sometimes, they'd be lucky to get a performance from her via Skype. On the other hand, Bey has been pro-black this era, so she decided to throw in the towel and do it big. Water filled stage and all. See you in 10 years time, Bey!
It was only a matter of time. But since sales of Adele's blockbuster selling album '25' have slowed, now's a good time to put her music on all the main streaming services. The initial decision was taken to protect '25' from early cannibalization of sales. For the first time after midnight, '25' will be streaming on Spotify, Tidal and Apple Music in full. Good news?
Chris Martin tells the UK's The Guardian that Rihanna's voice is a force to be reckoned with. He says: "Rihanna is the Frank Sinatra of our generation. She can turn anything into gold with that voice." Deja bloody Vu? To add my two pence, if he's talking about Rihanna's voice easily fitting any genre without sounding out of place, I'm inclined to agree.
Chris Brown's ex manager Mike G is suing him for beating him up (deets!) A month never goes by without someone claiming he assaulted them. But it's his Instagram video addressing the incident that bothers me more. He looks a drug-addled mess! Dude has too much money to not receive the psychological help he needs. Something is seriously wrong with him!
Disrespectful? Wrong? After being in the industry for over a decade and releasing endless bops, JoJo will serve as an opening act on Fifth Harmony's ‘7/27’ tour. *crickets* I understand WHY she's opening up for them. But it should be the other way round. Such a sad shame that her career didn't prosper to bigger and better things.
Beyoncé's latest album 'Lemonade' hit Platinum in pure sales recently, and now the RIAA has officially certified it Platinum too. As a result, all six of Bey's solo albums are now certified. Of course Bey was all smiles last night when she posed it up backstage during the NYC stop of her 'Formation' tour alongside Trayvon Martin's mother and brother.
Kelly Rowland's newly formed girl group Chasing Destiny dropped their first single 'All Of Us' today. Yes indeed, that's the actual group name. It sounds so cliche and similar to Destiny's Child. So unoriginal. As for the mid-tempo R&B cut, sounds like it should have came out in 2004. And you can definitely hear some early DC influences.
In promotion of her sparkly new Unbreakable Diamonds collection, Janet Jackson did a playful photoshoot for Emirates Woman magazine. Pregnancy has that glowing effect on Ms. Jackson. She remains her fun and quirky self behind the scenes. Jimmy Jam also promises more albums. The cover story is available to read here.
You can buy fashion, but you can't buy taste. Whoever chose Ciara's dress did not respect her in the slightest. It looks like a bunch of curtains sewn together, and not in a good way either. Maybe one day, CiCi will get her turn and be a fashion honoree as opposed to watching her much more successful peers getting it from the sidelines. A girl can dream right?
Christina Aguilera debuted her fiery red hair onstage during the ‘Hillary Clinton: She’s With Us’ concert at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, last night. She looks different with red hair, major Jessica Rabbit vibes, but it's certainly a welcoming change from almost 20 years of peroxide blonde. ETA: Oh just remembered, she did do black hair once.
Beyoncé was honoured with the 2016 CFDA Fashion Icon Award last night and her acceptance speech was emotional, poised and very eloquent. It took us waaaay back to her humble beginnings and sacrifices. The wisdom, grace, and style she exudes today was clearly passed down to her from the women in her family. Check out her entire speech below.
Lady Gaga's fifth studio album will be out "later in the year or early next year," according to her album spokesperson Elton John during a recent interview with Apple Music. This is hilarious because her fans are having meltdowns. They're like "Next year? WTF." At least Rihanna will be able to release her next effort without anyone standing in her way. Tee hee.
With the excessive media coverage surrounding Calvin Harris' breakup with Taylor Swift, Nelly Furtado decides to re-work and spotify his 2011 hit 'Feel So Close' in studio (acoustic) format. Nelly first performed it on SiriusXM’s Hits 1 show in 2012. Unexpected. But at least it should tide fans over until she's ready to make an official comeback.
