brandy ciara Hot Shot: Brandy & Ciara Pose Together On Set Of The Game

One’s a stage blazer, the other a vocal bible. Yet, Ciara and Brandy‘s paths met in the middle yesterday on the set of hit BET show The Game. All smiles, the ladies shared the shot above on their respective Twitter accounts.

Set to debut in March, the sixth season of the cable hit sees B-Rocka reprise her main-cast role of Chardonnay, while it is believed that Ciara is making a cameo.

In both cases, the show is a good look. More than ever before, the music industry requires an artist penetrate many arenas for longevity. Hence, it’s great to see both ladies doing just that – together.

Weigh In: Who Is This Generation’s Vocal Bible?

brandymonica e1330646945386 Weigh In:  Who Is This Generations Vocal Bible?

Let’s face it…

The turn of the century has unfortunately been accompanied by an under-appreciation of true vocalists.  Veritably, it has been clear to see that as production technology has increased its ability, inversely, quality vocal performances have decreased.

Turn on the radio today and you will be assaulted by an abundance of autotune, so much so one may question if he/she is listening to real people or The Transformers…

Freshly Squeezed: Lachardon (Must Hear!)

If Brandy is the anointed Vocal Bible, then New Jersey-born beauty Lachardon is undoubtedly one of her faithful disciples.  Armed with a jazzy melisma rivaled by few you’ll find, Lachardon – born LaTayvia Cherry – has sweetly slipped her infectious vocal stylings all over well known hits for the last few years much to critical acclaim.

Now, the songstress is hard at work mixing up ‘Lemonade’ – her debut EP.  Executive produced by Cherry herself, the set is on board to showcase the same honey vocals that have drawn many to buzz.  Reportedly eyeing a May 2013 for release  (That Grape Juice learned exclusively), to that we exclaim…if this is the ‘Lemonade’ she’s serving – we’re definitely buying!

Click below for New Jersey’s best kept secret’s take on past hits like Aaliyah‘s ‘Rock the Boat’, Beyonce’s ’1+1′, and her uncanny Brandy impersonation:
