New Music: "Lose To Win"


Former American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino is back with a new single entitled "Lose to Win". This is the first single she has released since her last studio album Back To Me, released it 2010. Since then she has taken time off to reshape her life and find her comfort zone. Since then she has been doing shows throughout the country. The lyrics to this song relates to many of the obstacles Fantasia has recently overcome in life, showing that she's realized sometimes in order to win in life you have to lose first. With a good head on her shoulders and a new single, I can see Fantasia coming back stronger than she has ever been before, the song speaks for itself.

New Music Video: Bridget Kelly- "Special Delivery"

Back in September I introduced Bridget Kelly's latest single "Special Delivery", and this week the official music video was released. Last year she released her EP Every Girl, and she is currently working on her debut album, which is expected to be released sometime next year. The visuals for this video takes place in Brooklyn, NY (where I'm from), and she dedicates the video to Coney Island, which was heavily effected from Hurricane Sandy this past October.

New Music: "Love and War"

If your a huge Braxton family fan like I am than you instantly identified the youngest sibling, Tamar as your favorite Braxton. Since the first season she has been mentioning wanting to put out her own solo album and "drop it like it's hot" like Beyonce. With her husband  being Vincent Herbert and her older sister being Toni Braxton, she had a lot to prove as well as overcome to prove that she can be the superstar she has always dreamed of being. Yesterday she released her first single since the late 1990's, "Love and War". On her current reality show Vince and Tamar, viewers were able to watch Tamar work on her new music as well as put together a showcase. With the release of her single and the season finale of her show last night, Tamar is definitely getting her shine, which has been way overdue. I personally shed a few tears watching her perform last night because I know it had to be a wonderful feeling showing others what you can do musically and performance wise. It only gives me hope and motivates me to work harder to change my situation and get straight to working on my dreams.
