We thought Fantasia would have sold MUCH more with her new album ‘Back To Me’ but some things don’t always happen the way you expect them to. The singer’s new LP managed a number two slot with sales in excess of just 122k sold in the US…

Fashion Bish: Barüch…
From the moment I saw the collection from London label Barüch I was blown away.
Baruch, which in Hebrew means blessed, was launched just last year and is the vision of self taught London based designer Angela Knowles. Within her capsule collections, the designer focuses on creating accessible fashion for women who have an appreciation for vibrant colors and sharp style. Continue reading →

Would Beyonce Be “Queen B” If Aaliyah Were Here?
When it comes to the greatest female entertainers of our generation, there are a few names that come up. Alicia Keys, Beyonce and Rihanna (which I don’t understand why). However, with the Beyonce explosion coming and hitting us hard in the late 90’s and never stopping, most people automatically give her the crown. Does she deserve it?
She is a hard working woman however, that is something I have to question because not too long ago there was another very popular R&B songstress who was always on people’s minds and hearts. Sadly, she passed away right as her legend status was beginning to be aflame. I am speaking of Aaliyah. Continue reading →

Would TLC be on top if Lisa “Lefteye” Lopes were alive today?
If it weren’t for a tragic automobile accident eight years ago, the top female music group today probably would have condoms over their eyes. From 1990 – 2002, supergroup TLC was just that big and influential.
Destiny’s Child would probably have remained mere children in music. The Spice Girls would never have even been manufactured. Countless female groups, many of them consisting of solo acts today, largely wouldn’t have even entered the business if it weren’t for this trio from Atlanta. How powerful was the musical juggernaut comprised of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas? Continue reading →

New Artist: Tracie-Josphine…
“Music lives with me; it has invaded my thoughts and is the pioneer to my dreams just as God is the captain to my ship, I’m the passenger on his wings. The only thing that’s free and all over me, music has kidnapped me and made me its own now that I have it I must share it with the world.” When it comes to music, there’s no denying the passion and drive for it all.
Singer/Songwriter Tracie-Josephine’s love for music began at a very young age on a small island known as Grenada singing solos in church. She relocated to New York at age 18 to further pursue her dreams of creating music for a living. Her eclectic musical influences stem from Michael Jackson to Cold Play, from Bob Marley to Marvin Gaye, from Lauryn Hill to Joss Stone. Continue reading →

Alesha Dixon performs ‘Drummer Boy’ on ‘Suck My Pop’…
Alesha Dixon delivered another performance of new single ‘Drummer Boy’ over the weekend. She performed the track on VIVA’s ‘Suck My Pop’ show, here in the UK:
My ears just won’t embrace this song but nevertheless, Ms Dixon stays performing the hell out of it. A good little performer she really is, and with much of that stage charisma seriously lacking on this side of the pond, the former Mis-teeq songstress is most certainly a pleasure to watch on screen.

I just got word that Les Nubians will release their fourth studio album “Nu Revolution” in September! The Grammy-nominated French-born sisters are known for their unique and sultry take on world R&B music with a French language twist.
We were introduced to Les Nubians on their debut album “Princesses Nubiennes” in 1998.” The ladies quickly became a fixture on the underground music scene with tracks like “Makeda” and “Embrasse Moi.”

Rihanna’s new single ‘Cheers’ produced by The Runners…
We now have the OFFICIAL names behind the alleged new Rihanna single ‘Cheers’. Top rated producers The Runners have taken FULL CREDIT for PRODUCING the song. The track is co-written by Stacy Barthee and Corey Chorus!

I have never seen so much mystery and anticipation surrounding one single since Britney Spears ‘Gimme More’. And am I the only one relieved it’s not produced by David Guetta? I’m not a fan of his work.
