A search-party may still be on the hunt for Rihanna‘s talent, yet it’s hard to deny — she’s a success. A major one at that.

As such, it’s intriguing to learn that the star may not only have left her longtime recording home Def Jam, but done so with minimal volume.

In the fifteen years since Jennifer Lopez first blazed onto the music scene, the dynamite diva has become a tour de force. From her countless catalogue of classics, to clothing lines, movies, and fragrances, the star – for many – serves the blueprint of what it means to be more than an artist, but to be a brand.

As such, it’s little surprise that Billboard have chosen the singer to receive the highest honor at the upcoming Billboard Music Awards.

The King Of Pop, Michael Jackson, lives on with new album ‘Xscape’.

Due globally on May 13th, the Epic Records set serves as the icon’s second posthumous LP.

And while predecessor ‘Michael’ was greeted with many a grunt upon release in 2010, the climate feels altogether warmer for this project.

Indeed, with lead single ‘Love Never Felt So Good’ rocking many a chart worldwide, anticipation is at an all-time high for new MJ material.

So as to capitalize on the buzz, each day of this week will bring with it a snippet of a new song from the project. Today it’s the turn of the Timbaland produced ‘Chicago’.

Really, friends, what are you waiting for? Take a listen below!

rihanna-that-grape-juice-5

She may have  impressed many  a music lover with hit-stained discography, but it would seem Rihanna‘s off-stage antics have left the folks over at ‘Instagram’ anything but this week.

For, after urging the singer to remove any nude/suggestive snaps from her account on the photo-sharing outlet, the company now appears to have deleted said account in full, pulling it from their servers earlier this morning.

Employing the bright lights and pastel colours that have been a staple in her current era, Lady GaGa kicked off the ‘ArtRave: The ARTPOP Ball Tour’ in Ft.Lauderdale yesterday evening, rocking the BB&T Centre in spectacular fashion!

Only right then, as to celebrate the launch of the light and bright stage showing, that she wow her audience with the debuting of a brand new song named ‘Party Nauseous’, originally penned for Kendrick Lamar‘s debut LP and written about Jakarta, the place in which she was forced to cancel a ‘Born This Way Ball’ showing following protests from Islamic extremists.

June 17th will see Jennifer Lopez unleash her latest set of jams, when her 10th studio album struts into stores.

And after wrapping much of the project in secrecy (sans of course the slew of singles that are preceding the project), today saw the diva unveil the album’s title and accompanying cover.

Heeding to That Grape Juice‘s suggestion of what she should christen the LP, Lopez confirmed moments ago that the project has been titled…

‘A.K.A’

(An acronym for “Also Known As”)

She also shared the oh so lush cover above.

Now, that is d-i-v-a! Simple title and a stunning cover – one that stresses natural beauty (see: not “Catfishing” like certain other songbirds). She looks #Beautiful!

‘A.K.A’ is preceded by singles ‘I Luh Ya Papi’ and ‘First Love’.

Taking to Instagram this weekend, the 33-year-old shared a clip from a studio session, which included new track ‘Ocean Of Tears’.
