#NEWVIDEO: K. Michelle - V.S.O.P.


Check out the debut of K. Michelle's new video, V.S.O.P.

Directed by Benny Boom, the visuals see K. Michelle perform the track while she plays narrator to the scenes being played out. K. Michelle reflects on a relationship with a guy she just can't let go of. Scenes of K. in a black wrap dress with gold cuffs, paired with shots of her performing with two back up singers/dancers, bring the video clip together.

Love the video. Makes me like the song more. At first I was weary about the song choice as the first single, but K. Michelle and her people did the right thing releasing the audio for us to get used to before dropping the visuals. She looks amazing rocking out in that black dress. A step in the right direction.

V.S.O.P. is of coarse K. Michelle's lead single off of her album Rebellious Soul, which is due August 13 on Atlantic Records.

Check the clip below.


LMFAO: Foxy Brown Falls Flat During Performance



Your favourite female rapper Foxy Brown was out celebrating Gay Pride this weekend in New York.

During an appearance at NYC's El Morocco nightclub, Ms Brown took it to the stage to perform a brand new single.

Dressed in a leopard print bodysuit, some shades and several blinding belts, Foxy Brown calls for the DJ as she chants in grunts her way into the performance. Foxy spits a few bars before calling the track back, pausing for dramatic effect. In doing so, Foxy struts across the stage as the crowd screams when suddenly, the rap-stress seemingly falls off stage.

Foxy Brown has been out of the limelight for quite a while now, and to return like this is awful. She didn't look her best, she seemed quiet off in the face, and that fall was just... no words. No words, but loads of laughs. I really can't stop laughing. Did you see how her $2 belt broke? LMFAO!! OMG I'm going to hell LMFAO!

Thanks KempireDaily for the laugh!


Lady Gaga Sings National Anthem In NYC


After taking some time out of the spotlight, Lady Gaga returns in celebration for LGBT equality at New York City Gay Pride.

Lady Gaga took to the stage in a moving speech in support of the Defense of Marriage Act, followed by a rendition of the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’.

Lady Gaga speaks to the roaring crowd:

"When I was in high school and grade school and younger, I was considered to be an outcast and I just couldn’t find my place, [But] there was a particular crowd who did accept me. There was a particular crowd who made room for me at their table, who held me up when I felt I couldn’t, who loved me for exactly who I was. It was you. And to stand here equal to you tonight, it's been a dream of mine since my very first experiences with the LGBT community"

Watch her spectacular speech and her a cappella rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner below.

Beyonce To Slay Auckland Stage In October


Stars in the #BeyHive heavens have answered your prayers!

According to the New Zealand Herald, Beyonce will be slaying the Vector Arena stage in October. My heart just fell in my hands... EXCITING!!!

The Herald on Sunday understands Beyonce will rock Auckland's Vector Arena in October.

The show will top a busy few weeks for the venue, with a series of gigs the same month by chart-topping singer Rihanna and British boy band One Direction.

Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter - married to rap idol Jay-Z - will bring her spectacular Mrs Carter show to the Auckland venue after performing in Puerto Rico at the end of September.

Vector Arena general manager Brendan Hines said talks to bring Beyonce had started several months ago but plans were put off after it was rumoured the star was pregnant.

Mother-of-one Beyonce recently denied the pregnancy rumours and has carried on with her world tour.

"We were in discussions with Beyonce's management to bring her to New Zealand, then all the talk started about her being pregnant and suddenly it was all in doubt," said Hines.

It is thought people-power may have influenced the Single Ladies singer's decision to travel south.

A Facebook petition for the singer to come to New Zealand has been backed by more than 20,000 fans.

We all know those King Bey' ticket prices will be through the roof, so start saving your coins children!!

Chris Brown's Tattoos Scared Car Victim To Death Through His Long Sleeved Shirt


A lady named Olga got into a car accident with Chris Brown last month and is alleging that Chris gave her false insurance and registration information.

Olga claims her blood pressure went through the roof after her car accident with Brown last month. She says she was "scared to death" because he was driving a huge SUV and was covered in tattoos.

Olga says the only thing she got from Brown, who has been charged with criminal hit-and-run over the crash, was expired insurance for his Lamborghini. He was driving his Range Rover at the time. Brown's lawyer claims the singer also gave her his Virginia license, but the accuser says that's not true.

Hmmm...


So even though Chris was wearing a dark coloured long sleeved shirt, she was scared to death. OK...

I don't believe this woman for a second. She barely makes eye contact with the camera when being questioned. And from the footage that was captured of the incident, she couldn't have been that scared because she followed him on foot to his car. Actions of a 'scared to death' person? I don't think so!


Rihanna Announces Judges For US Reality Series 'Styled To Rock'


Rihanna drops a promo clip for her upcoming Style Network show, Styled to Rock.

Hip-Hop producer and Billionaire Boys club founder Pharrell Williams is one of the judges, alongside Model and designer Erin Wasson, and Rihanna's stylist Mel Ottenberg.

In a pair of black leather gloves and thigh high boots, rapper Eve looked sexy as ever as Conan O’Brien's musical guest yesterday. Taking it to the lit up stage to perform Lip Lock cut E.V.E., she spits verse after verse while being accompanied by two male dancers.

Watch the performance below.


#NEWMUSIC: Melanie Fiona - Cold Piece


Check out this new track from Canadian songstress Melanie Fiona titled, Cold Piece.

The emotional heavy track has Melanie spilling about the pain that comes with a broken heart. “No, I never ever met someone / Raised me up like the sun / Until you crashed into my universe / There was nothing there but just one,” Melanie sings. “I just can’t believe how someone could be such a cold piece of work at heart.”

Cold Piece is the first taste of whats to come from Melanie Fiona’s forthcoming third album.

#NEWVIDEO: Faith Evans - Dumb


As she officially makes an exit from the cast of R&B Divas Atlanta, Faith Evans drops the video for her latest single, Dumb. Lifted from the album 'R&B Divas'.

The video is a throwback, with Faith and her band rocking wigs and outfits from back in the day. Her band backs her up and she performs, telling her no good man she will no longer be a 'dummy' for him.

I don't know why the visuals took so long to be released, but it's better late than never right!? Yeah whatever!

Check it out below.


#NEWVIDEO: Aaradhna - You Don't Love Me Anymore


Check out the visuals for Aaradhna's latest single, You Don't Love Me Anymore.

The simple, yet effective clip sees Ms Aaradhna in studio with the tracks producer, P Money.

You Don't Love Me Anymore acts as the official third single from Aaradhna's well received album, Treble & Reverb.

Aaradhna will be on tour in the U.S., alongside J Boog and Katchafire, as part of the 'Live Up' tour throughout July and August. Check HERE for dates.


#NEWVIDEO: Lorde - Tennis Court


Lorde's reign continues with the release of her new video for Tennis Court.

Lorde lets the lyrics of the track take center stage, as she keeps the visuals literal and simple. Only serving face, playing to the honest, somewhat arrogant lyrics. “A new art form, showing people how little we care,” she posts on her Facebook.

Lorde aka Ella Yelich-O’Connor has already had two #1's here in New Zealand since the release of her EP The Love Club earlier this year.

“TENNIS COURT VID… for those of you who saw this in fledgling, incorrect form, watch with new eyes,” Lorde tweeted. “it’ll be available in the US soon ok.. people who work at record companies suck major d sometimes”


#NEWVIDEO: M.I.A. - Bring The Noize


M.I.A. has unveiled the visuals for her brand new single, 'Bring The Noize'.

Crazy as an M.I.A. visual always is. Blinking shots, strobe lights at one man rave parties. All guests dressed in white and shrouded in smoke. M.I.A. also rocks some hot pink hair with some crazy gold flaked nails. A less obvious political statement than previous years.

Switch and Surkin produce the track, which is the lead single from her album, Matangi (due June 21).


#NEWVIDEO: Bridget Kelly - Street Dreamin' ft. Kendrick Lamar


Bridget Kelly keeps it street in her latest video for 'Street Dreamin' featuring Kendrick Lamar.

Arguably one of the better R&B singers, Kelly keeps it light and fun in this clip. Kendrick Lamar is part of the crew. It's summer, you party, you see someone you like and you holler. That's the basics of the video. She looks absolutely stunning and the styling is on point. (Thick girls, please take note of the styling and the camera shots that go with it.)

Street Dreamin is taken from Bridget Kelly’s forthcoming solo album which is set to be released later this year.


#NEWVIDEO: Rasheeda - Hit It From The Back


Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star Rasheeda recently premiered the video for her new single, “Hit It From The Back.”

We all saw the drama that went on behind the scenes, on set at the shooting of Rasheeda's video. And now we get to see, the very pregnant self-proclaimed “Georgia Peach,” spit out sexually charged lyrics which leave very little to the imagination.

All in all, the video quality is very good. One of Rasheeda's better video's. But at the same time, the content is very nonchalant. The fact that she's pregnant and spitting these kinds of lyrics is very off. I just think at this point and time, and at the age that she is, it be in her best interest to steer clear of such forceful, vulgar, lyrical content.

Eve Talks White Guys, Gumball 3000 And 'Lip Lock' On Chelsea Lately


In her continuous efforts to promote her latest album Lip Lock, Eve chatted it up with Chelsea on The Chelsea Lately Show.

In blonde locks and a studded leather jacket, Eve sat down with Chelsea and chatted about dating white guys, her Gumball 3000 adventures, and her album Lip Lock.

Eve also shared that a famous rapper, who remains nameless, called her before the release of her debut album Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryders' First Lady to discourage her, telling her things like, 'female rappers usually don't sell that much'. Shame on him because Eve became only the third female hip-hop artist to have her album debut at number one on the Billboard 200.

Somebody get me some candles and somebody with a guitar coz ch...!!!

Sittin' pretty in studio alongside her guitarist, Sevyn Streeter performs an acoustic version of her new single, It Won't Stop.

Sevyn shows all the way out in this clip. Stripped down in order to show off her vocal skills. Sevyn effortlessly slays this infectious track.


The more I see this chick, the more I love her. I liked her first single, I just never thought it was a good fit for her as an artist. But tracks like these, with performances like these are a perfect fit for her. Looking forward to the official video.

#NEWMUSIC: Mariah Carey - #Beautiful REMIX ft. A$AP Rocky


Check out the official remix to Mariah Carey's #Beautiful featuring A$AP Rocky.

The track is exactly the same. It still features Miguel, with the addition of A$AP Rocky's verse. Mariah has plans to release another four versions with re-sung vocals, including a Spanglish version (“Hermosa”), a hip-hop collaboration, and dance remixes.

This remix is nice, but it really isn't necessary. It doesn't have the impact nor the excitement a Mariah Carey remix usually brings. And with four other versions due to be released, this is one we could've done without.


WILL.I.AM Files Lawsuit Against Pharrell Williams


Yes! You read right. Black Eyed Peas front man WILL.I.AM filed lawsuit against music producer Pharrell Williams over a branding dispute.

Mr WILL.I.AM claims he owns the copyright to the phrase "I AM" and Williams' new creative brand "i am OTHER" is too "confusingly similar". In his official notice of opposition, WILL.I.AM states, "The registration of the mark... is likely to dilute the I AM mark and the WILL.I.AM mark."

Williams' lawyers have promptly filed a response to refute the allegation. Pharrell tells Rolling Stone magazine:

"I am disappointed that Will, a fellow artist, would file a case against me. I am someone who likes to talk things out and, in fact, I attempted to do just that on many occasions. I am surprised in how this is being handled and I am confident that Will's trademark claims will ultimately be found to be as merit-less and ridiculous as I do."

Dear WILL.I.AM. Have a seat. Granted that you trademarked the phrase, we all know it was Beyonce that made the phrase a trend. And I bet you trademarked "I AM" after the release of "I AM... Sasha Fierce". In all honesty, nobody even cares. We don't know your brand nor Pharrell's enough to even care to get them confused. Leave it alone and save yourself a headache.

Rihanna Drags Journalist On Instagram


You'd think people would have learnt by now that Rihanna, don't play!

Ms Rihanna took it to her infamous Instagram account to respond to a journalist who wrote a vicious article about her. Daily Mail writer Elizabeth Ann Jones decided to aim some slick words at the bajan beauty in an article posted yesterday. Elizabeth labels Rihanna as “Pop’s poisonous princess: Glorying in drugs, guns and sleaze, Rihanna’s toxic role model for her army of young fans.”

Throughout her article Elizabeth expresses her no holds barred opinions, and despise for Ms Fenty.

“I wish she’d stop infecting our High Streets with her gun tattoos, her false nails and fake hair, her bogus bad-ass shenanigans that try to portray her as ‘real’, as ‘street’, as her own person, as strong and single-minded.”

Rihanna caught whiff of the story and took to her Instagram account with her ever so eloquent way with words to fire back.

LOL!!!! My money got a bad habit of pissing people off!! If you sincerely wanna help little girls more than their own parents do, here’s a toxic tip: don’t be amateur with your articles, you sound bitter! What’s all this about hair and nails and costumes and tattoos?? ….That shit ain’t clever!!! That shit ain’t journalism! That’s a sad sloppy menopausal mess!!! Nobody over here acts like they’re perfect! I don’t pretend that I’m like you, i just live… My life!! And I don’t know why y’all still act so surprised by any of it!! “Role Model” is not a position or title that I have ever campaigned for, so chill wit dat! I got my own fucked up shit to work on, I’ll never portray that as perfect, but for right now it’s ME!! Call it what ya want!! Toxic was cute, Poisonous Pop Princess had a nice ring to it, just a lil wordy! And P.S. my first American Vogue cover was in 2011…APRIL!!! #ElizabethAnnJones

Damn Riri! Hahaha... Rihanna pretty much shut her whole article down. If you read through Elizabeth's article, she really seems bitter. Like it's personal. To the point where it's very bully "mean girl" -ish. SMH! Well she learnt something new today.

American Idol Winner Candice Glover's Album Pushed Back


Fans will have to wait as Candice Glover's album gets pushed back from it's previous release date, July 16.

Music Speaks will now be released August 27. Which is 6 weeks after the original release date.

This is great news. Ever since Idol wrapped up we haven't seen that much of Candice. If the album is anything like her lead single, they need to add more R&B. Candice's coronation single 'I Am Beautiful' had the worst first week sales of any American Idol winner. In my opinion, the song was too Pop. Candice is an R&B singer. People understand her as an R&B singer. The label should cater to that.

Music Video Preview: Ciara - I'm Out ft. Nicki Minaj

Beware” acts as the lead single as Big Sean puts the finishing touches on his sophomore album, Hall of Fame. The LP, featuring appearances by Miguel and Nas, will arrive in stores on August 27.

Love the track. Production is amazing. I wish Kanye or J. Cole took the guest verse instead of Wayne. All in all, a great leading single for his new project.

Mariah Carey Pushes Back Album Release Date


Mariah Carey has taken to Twitter to tell fans that she is delaying her upcoming album, which was set for release on July 23!

“While making this album, I got so immersed in the creative process that I just don’t feel I would be doing it justice to release it on 7/23,” she tweets.

Mariah adds, “I’d rather not exclude meaningful songs. I want to give you this album as it’s meant to be heard.When I’m ready, you’ll be the first 2 know!”

I for one am glad to hear this. Mariah is going to need at least one more hit single before this album drops. Therefore she will have plenty time to do so. I just hope the push back is only another month because If it's longer, people would have given up already.

Madonna Unveils Violent Teaser For Mysterious #SecretProject


Madonna has unveiled a short clip of #SecretProject, a mysterious endeavor that she has kept in wraps. The black and white footage is the first glimpse of the project that Madonna has been working on with photographer Steven Klein.

The trailer offers nothing specific. We see a man being violently slammed to the floor by four topless men before hurtling against glass. Clips of a ballet dancer dancing painted in white are merged with photos of a room littered with lifeless bodies. And a scene where Madonna is seen standing over a dancer with a gun before apparently pulling the trigger.

Whatever this is, she surely has my attention. The guy she guns down looks a little like her boy-toy Brahim Zaibat, doesn't it?!
