Christina Aguilera is officially back!

Today brought with it the debut of new song ‘Accelerate’ and the formal announcement of her eighth album ‘Liberation’ (due June 15th).

Xtina is wasting no time getting on the promo trail either because she covers the latest issue of Billboard magazine.

Beyond posing for a striking shoot, she gets all sorts of candid about her return. She lifts the lid on the LP – her first since 2012’s ‘Lotus’ – and confirms that Kanye West is amongst its producers (helming ‘Accelerate’ and her favorite new number ‘Maria’). She also waxes honest about her upcoming tour, why she doesn’t feel the pressure to sell, why she had to leave ‘The Voice’ (a show she now calls an “energy sucker”), and much more.

Celine Dion blazes back on to the scene with scorching new song ‘Ashes.’

The soaring anthem is lifted from the soundtrack for action flick ‘Deadpool 2.’

And while it may seem like an odd pairing, it certainly makes for a compelling one.

The music legend is joined in the visual by Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds, who hilariously serves choreography through the course of the clip. They also face off in a fun-filled skit at its end.

Christina Aguilera is back!

The Pop powerhouse hasn’t released an album in almost six years, but that’s all set to change next month when she shares her ‘Liberation.’

Christina Aguilera‘s comeback campaign cruises in to full speed with the premiere of brand new song ‘Accelerate.’

The hard-hitting jam sees Xtina team with Ty Dolla $ign and 2 Chainz; it’s being issued as the first taste of the diva’s eighth studio album ‘Liberation.’

Word is that the cut is receiving the instant-grat treatment for anyone who pre-orders its parent LP (due June 15th). Hence, jury’s out on whether it’s  Aguilera’s “lead single.”

What is for sure is that ‘Accelerate’ is here! So what are you waiting for? Fire up new Christina after the jump…

Rihanna may have her hands full with her fashion, make-up, and acting endeavours, but the star still has music on the mind.

As reported, the 30-year-old recently told fans that new material is on its way.

And while she’s still remaining mum about specifics, she did let slip to Vogue  – whose June issue she scorches – a little about its direction.

Cop a gander of Rihanna!

The Bajan sensation beams a-front of Vogue magazine’s June 2018 issue.

RiRi’s feature comes at a busy time for the star.

Beyond having her hands full with her fashion and cosmetic ventures (ala Fenty Beauty, Fenty X Puma, and more recently her lingerie line Savage), the 30-year-old is gearing up for the June premiere of ‘Ocean’s 8’ which she stars in alongside Sandra Bullock and Mindy Kalling.

Peep the trailer below…

Their ‘Stranger Things’ duet may have not made much noise on the Billboard Hot 100 (click here to watch), but now Chris Brown and Joyner Lucas are looking to ‘I Don’t Die’ to breathe new life and interest into their collaborative album, ‘Angels & Demons.’ 

With Lucas at the director’s helm (with help from Ben Proulx), the cut’s prison-themed visual sees the duo play on the song’s theme by being featured on “death row.” All their jail-inspired action leads to fancy footwork, taunts and trauma, and a surprise ending.

Curious to see what they came up with for the bumping bop?  Look inside:

As we previously reported, ‘No Tears Left To Cry’ – the first single from Ariana Grande‘s fourth album, ‘Sweetener’ – has certainly come as some well received ear candy for the diva’s legion of dedicated fans (affectionately called #Arianators).

Need proof?  Look no further than the tune’s impressive first week commercial performance.  Netting a whopping 36.9 million US streams and 100,000 digital downloads, the out of the box success led it straight to a top 5 debut on the Hot 100.

The chart premiere is accompanied with two equally impressive historic feats:  1) she tied Rihanna and Lady Gaga for sixth place among all acts for the most top 10 debuts and 2) she earned the distinct honor of being the first artist to debut in the Hot 100’s top 10 with the first singles from each of his or her first four albums.  Simply put:  every lead single from each of her albums has debuted in the Hot 100’s top 10.

The heat is on ‘Ignition’ star R. Kelly like never before.

The R&B veteran, who for years has seen his musical success shadowed by accusations of sexual assault and molestation, continues to witness his fellow celebrities drum up support for criminal investigations into those allegations (some dating back to the early 90s).

As we reported here, famed television writer, producer, and author Shonda Rimes was one of the first major figures to shed light on the #MuteRKelly campaign which calls for concert ticket sellers, radio disc jockeys, and more platforms that showcase the singer’s music to cease.  Following her lead, film director Ava Duvernay, ‘Scandal’ star Kerry Washington, legendary DJ Tom Joyner, and the leaders of the #TimesUp movement joined the suit – prompting a response from Kelly who deemed the rallying conspiratorial and “unjust and off-target”(click here to read his response in full).

His statements only doused the fire with gas as more and more celebs have joined the fight against him.  See the likes of Lupita Nyong’o, Amy Schumer, Tiffany Haddish, Jussie Smollett, Jane Fonda, John Legend, Debra Messing, Viola Davis, and more speak out:

Concerned parents took to Twitter to voice their displeasure with NBC’s ‘The Voice’ for Janelle Monae‘s “racy” performance on last night’s (May 1) episode.

The songstress, hot on the promo trail for her tertiary album, ‘Dirty Computer’ (in stores now), took to the reality singing competition to show off one of the project’s gems, ‘Make Me Feel.’  With hip thrusts, pop, locks, and drops galore, some viewers were none too pleased with the song’s already sexually suggestive content, let alone the choreography used to support it.

Deemed “raunchy” and downright “lewd” by some, look inside to see the hoopla in response to the showing and weigh in:

Hoping to find a room for herself in the house Nicki Minaj built is the fun-loving rapper Kash Doll.

Yet to enjoy the mainstream notoriety the likes of Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks enjoyed with their debut sets, the rapper came close to bagging the look she was after when she was asked to appear on a Cardi B-fronted jam named ‘She Bad.’

Today, her fans have taken to Twitter to reveal they believe a “jealous” Cardi set out to sabotage her career.

Fact or fiction? You decide below…
