Fantasia is back!

Fresh from whetting appetites with new single ‘Enough,’ the ‘American Idol’ graduate has announced ‘Sketchbook’ – her seventh studio album.

The set serves as the songbird’s first collection of original tunes since 2016’s ‘The Definition Of…’ and sees her continue her musical journey as an independent act.

Set for release later this year, the project is billed as a work of art, pieced together as a “sketchbook.”

Lucky for concert goers in Paris, France, she set ‘Fly’ free with a spirited offering that was all-live.

Madonna fans may have been very impressed by the Pop icon’s lengthy feature in the most recent ‘New York Times’ magazine, but the ‘Express Yourself’ diva wasted no time expressing her disappointment in it.

As we reported here, she not only likened the experience to ‘rape’ but also asserted the interviewer – Vanessa Grigoriadis – perpetuated sexist and ageist stereotypes by overlooking better content gleaned from their interaction in favor of focusing on her age.

Well, once the diva’s response made its rounds on the net it eventually landed on the desk of the publication.  See their cheeky response inside:

‘The Lion King’ has the world awaiting its roar as its July 19th release draws near.

Beyond promises of jaw-dropping cinematics, many are anticipating the musical component of Disney’s live action re-telling of one its most popular titles.

The involvement of superstar singer Beyonce, who stars as Nala, is widely cited as one of the main reasons for this.

Sans carefully curated trailers, much of what’s to come has been shrouded in secrecy.

Only six months separate fans of Future from his latest effort, January’s chart-topping ‘The WIZRD,’ but that hasn’t stopped the 35-year-old from seeing if he can sprinkle a bit more magic on the summer’s Billboard 200.

Announced just this week (as we reported here), his new project – the ‘Save Me’ – is a 7-song EP that’s been described as “his most vulnerable, visual, and vital statement yet” and stands as a feature-less affair.

Keen to see if the description is fitting? Tuck inside to hear:

The rumor mill swirled no shortage of reports that ‘Jealous’ star DJ Khaled was incensed at news his latest album, ‘Father of Asahd,’ failed to nab the top spot of the Billboard 200 (unlike its predecessors – 2016’s ‘Major Key’ and 2017’s ‘Grateful’ respectively).

Like we reported here, ‘Asahd’ – despite its guest list of heavy hitters and padding its first week sales with a merchandise bundle – still came in second place to Tyler, the Creator‘s critically acclaimed album, ‘IGOR.’  The upset was all the more shocking as the latter set had no Billboard Hot 100 top 40 singles to precede its arrival, unlike that of Khaled’s.

Our friends at Page Six first broke the story that Khaled was “fuming” at his label, Epic Records, after losing out to Tyler and reportedly was “yelling” and throwing a “temper tantrum.” Later, the 43-year-old uploaded a video (that’s now deleted) that may not confirm his tantrum at Epic, but at least suggests he felt some kinda way about Tyler’s triumph.
