New Music: "Grown Woman" (FULL SONG)/ "V.S.O.P"

I'm sure by now many of you have seen Beyonce's Pepsi commercial which features her new song "Grown Woman". After a very long wait the entire song has leaked and everyone is able to hear the song as a whole. The song was produced by Timbaland and co-written by The Dream. Beyonce is currently on the European leg of her Mrs. Carter Tour, the whole Mrs. Carter Tour ends here in Brooklyn in August. 

K. Michelle's first single off of her upcoming studio album Rebellious Soul, has been released. Her new single "V.S.O.P" is a ballad produced by Pop & Oak. The song is sampled from Debra Laws "Very Special". K. Michelle has been using her time to do shows around the country, she is making use of her new record deal with Atlantic Records as she prepares to release her new album. I will actually be attending a K. Michelle show at the beginning of June and I will be sure to provide you guys with a post on the whole experience. She will also be co-hosting 106 & Park tomorrow for anyone who is interested in watching.

New Music: "Dirty Laundry"

By now I'm sure many of you have heard the controversial single "Dirty Laundry" by Kelly Rowland. The song was written by The Dream and the track has been the main topic of everyone's discussion as Kelly Rowland touches on an abusive relationship from her past, as well as being proud but envious of Beyonce while her solo career began to take off. Her new studio album Talk A Good Game, hits stores on June 18th and she begins her summer tour with The Dream on May 23rd/

New Music: "The One"/ "Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix)"

Tamar Braxton has FINALLY released the second single off of her upcoming studio album. After working out the kinks in her record deal and signing with Epic Records via Streamline, the mom-to-be is gearing up to soon release the music video to her summer anthem "The One". The song was produced by rapper Yung Berg and LaShawn Daniels. The video was shot a few weeks ago on the Santa Monica pier where the theme of the music video was carnival. Carnival was also the theme for Tamar's babyshower that took place this past weekend in LA. In the words of Tamar herself, this single is so "funners" and with the sample of Notorious B.I.G's "Juicy" and Mtume's "Juicy Fruit" I cannot wait for the video. 

This past weekend Lauryn Hill released a new song called "Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix)" on her Tumblr account. Under the song she also posted a message for her fans, basically stating that she was forced to release the track due to her recent legal issues. The song touch's on the many problems that currently exist in today's society. Unfortunately since releasing the track Lauryn Hill has been sentenced to three months in jail for her current legal issues. As a fan, I am hoping that once she is released that she can make an official return to music, she recently signed a new deal with Sony, which also includes a new record label. 

New Music: "Back to Black"/ "Crazy In Love"/ "$100 Bill"

With The Great Gatsby hitting theaters next week on May 10th, a few songs from the soundtrack has been released. The movie's soundtrack will be available May 7th. The soundtrack was produced by JayZ himself and it features all new original music, as well as covers of popular songs.

One highly anticipated cover featured on the soundtrack is Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black", covered by Andre 3000 and Beyonce. 

British singer Emeli Sande covered Beyonce's "Crazy In Love". 

Jay-Z appears on the soundtrack with his original song "$100 Bill".

New Music: "I Can't Win"/ "Give It Away"

This past week Chris Brown released two new tracks that will not appear on his upcoming studio album X, which has been scheduled to drop on July 16th. The first new track "I Can't Win"is rumored to be about his current relationship with Rihanna. According to several media outlets they are going through a rough patch while she is on her Diamonds World Tour. Nonetheless, this is a great track.

The next new track is called "Give It Away" and I think that the lyrics to the song is kind of self explanatory. Like the previous track, this will not appear on his upcoming album, but this track was a gift from Chris to his  fans for his 24th birthday, which is on May 5th.

K. Michelle's Rebellious Soul Coming Soon

With Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Season 2 premiering tonight K. Michelle released the first webisode that will document her journey in making her new studio album. Although I know she can be crazy at times, I do respect the fact that she focuses on her music and places that before all of the drama on reality television. 

New Music Video: Ciara- "Body Party"

Last month I introduced Ciara's new single "Body Party" off of her upcoming studio album. Since then she has changed the name of the album from One Woman Army to Ciara, the album is expected to drop on July 9th. The leading man of her video is her current boyfriend Future and the video has a nice laid back vibe as the video shows the two meeting at a party out in ATL. This time around I hope Ciara's album actually does well, and people stop doubting her as an artist.
