Now, he’s expanding on his remarks.

After thrilling fans over the summer by playing assistant on Ro James‘ sultry tune, ‘Magic,’ singer/actor Luke James had the Germany-born crooner return the favor (alongside BJ The Chicago Kid) for his new song, ‘Go Girl.’

A 70’s-inspired cut dripping with elements of Soul and Funk to boot, ‘Girl’ is the latest taste from Luke’s forthcoming effort ‘To Feel Love/d’ (reportedly due on digital shelves in 2020).  Taking to our friends at Billboard, he spoke glowingly of the collaboration stating:

“It’s a celebratory song that I created with two of my best buds in the business, Ro and BJ. ‘Go Girl’ is a feeling, an unconventional vibration about a specific woman. It’s perfectly freeing… as if it came out of a ‘90s classic love song or film.”

“Living in sin is the new thing.”

Today’s From The Vault comes courtesy of the iconic Miss Britney Spears; this week’s pick is the infectious ‘3.’

The song was issued as the launching single from the singer’s second greatest hits compilation ‘The Singles Collection,’ which was released in 2009. While tongue in cheek lyrically, the song – the only new cut on the project – wasn’t opaque about its celebration of three-way loving.

Produced by Max Martin (who blessed her with her very first #1 single) alongside Shellback – it ironically became her third single to reach the pole position on the Billboard Hot 100 where it debuted. It was also a #1 hit in Canada, peaked at #7 in the UK, and inside the Top 10 in Australia, France and Sweden.

The song’s minimalistic visual was directed by Diane Martel and it presents Spears dancing in front of monochrome backgrounds surrounded by her dancers.

Upon its release, it was refreshing seeing a newly energized Britney in action again; indeed she seemed way more switched “on” than on previous efforts from the her ‘Circus’ cycle and accompanying tour.

************

Though not the force she once was, a decade later, Britney is still out here, booked and busy.

With a new album in the works, it will be interesting to see whether she and her team decide to stick to the tried, tested, and somewhat dated formula or go for an image and sound overhaul. We wish for the latter, as it seems like the next best means of her adding a fresh chapter to her legendary career; rather than settling into legacy act status before her time.

As always though, we’re rooting for you, Brit!

Your thoughts?

As unexpected pairings go, few can rival the randomness of Ashanti and Lady Gaga‘s live link-up last night.

Fresh from rocking the stage at her ‘Enigma’ residency in Las Vegas, Mother Monster was on-hand for a performance the R&B singer gave at a nearby venue.

During Ashanti’s showing, a playful sing-off ensued.

Watch the action after the jump…

Already tipped for Oscar success (which, if it achieves, will see Cynthia become an EGOT), take a listen to the cut below…

Love or loathe her, it’s hard to deny Ariana Grande is one of the hardest working women in music.

In September 2018 (amid promotion of her chart-topping album ‘Sweetener’), the Grammy-winner took to press to announce time off from music to “heal” after the highly publicized death of ex-boyfriend Mac Miller (click here to read).  That break was short-lived as the ‘Break Free’ singer followed up with the unveiling of new single, ‘thank u, next,’ and its like-titled album just months later.

Now, after spending most of 2019 promoting the project, its singles, the ‘Sweetener’ world tour, and curating the official ‘Charlie’s Angels’ soundtrack (in stores November 1), the 26-year-old believes she’s due for a break…for real this time.
