With the snippet of Ashanti’s latest single ‘Body On Me’ making the rounds earlier this week, it was inevitable that the full version of the cut would surface not long after. Put simply, the track is a winner IMO and has ’summer hit’ written all over it. My only gripe is that, with just one verse and backing vocals, Ashanti sounds like a feature artist on her own song. Still, this has me more than amped for ‘The Declaration’s’ June 3rd release date.

UK songstress Estelle appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this past Monday. Joined by John Legend, she performed ‘Come Over’ as well as her smash ‘American Boy’. I really enjoyed their showing.

Estelle’s sophomore LP ‘Shine’ is out now both here in the UK and in the US.

What do you think of the performance?

Pop superstar Madonna stopped by BET’s 106 & Park Thursday to promote her new LP ‘Hard Candy’. It’s not everyday we see Madonna on more Urban-centered shows, but obviously with the more R&B/Hip-Hop inspired sound of the record she’s covering all bases this time around. Great interview (Random tidbit: What was she wearing?).

Your thoughts?
