As the ladies of TLC prepare for the June 30th release of their fifth and final album, the duo continue to share tidbits of what fans can expect from it.

Already earning thumbs up for the Snoop Dogg-assisted ‘Way Back’ and its follow-up ‘Haters,’ now the twosome are serving up ‘It’s Sunny.’  A disco-flavored affair, the song lives up to its title courtesy of its uplifting lyrics and lively horn-filled instrumentation.

See what we mean below:

‘Sunny’ is the latest gem lifted from the duo’s 12-track, self-titled final album.  Click here to see the full track list.

R&B crooner Tank has long been vocal about his support of the LGBT community over the years, a stance reiterated by his recent performance at Washington D.C.’s gay pride event this weekend.

Drawing a sizable crowd, the shirtless singer/songwriter was on hand to croon some of his greatest hits – much to the delight of male and female attendees.  Yet, while those in attendance took to Twitter to shower the ‘Please Don’t Go’ performer with praise, some of his longtime fans weren’t exactly pleased with his decision to perform for a gay audience.

Inciting quite the debate on social media, look below for some of the fiery comments and weigh in:

So Tank really did do Pride.

A former Islamic extremist believes he knows why ISIS targeted Ariana Grande‘s concert in Manchester, England last week.

22 people died when a terrorist named Salman Abedi ignited a bomb in the foyer of the Manchester Arena prompting the United Kingdom to heighten security measures in the nation with hopes of stifling further attacks.

Now, Mr. Mubin Shaikh has taken to ‘Inside Edition’ to reveal that ISIS has it out for Pop princesses like Grande.

His estimation below…

Grande has suspended her ‘Dangerous Woman Tour’ and announced plans to launch a benefit concert for the families of the men, women and children harmed at the show.

Tomi Lahren is in attack mode!

After losing her job at ‘The Blaze‘ following her admission that she was Pro-Choice, the 24-year-old political personality continues to target the pregnant African-American beacon Beyonce with cruel, crass and crude insults.

What she and one Steven Crowder had to say about the mother of three?

Watch below.

Beyonce is yet to respond.

Tomi and Steven’s Beyonce bash stands as the latest diss they’ve launched at her following her decision to step out in full support of the peaceful ‘Black Lives Matters’ movement.

Bryson Tiller‘s debut album, ‘Trap Soul,’ was a mainstay on the Billboard 200 from its late 2015 premiere well into the next year.  Making its inaugural appearance on the chart at #11 thanks to the success of its official lead single, ‘Don’t,’ fans fell head over heels in love with the rapper/singer’s unique fusion of traditional R&B/soul music with the Urban’s sector dominating subgenre – trap music.

With the help of ‘Don’t’s follow-ups – ‘Exchange’ and ‘Sorry, Not Sorry’ – ‘Trap Soul’ was eventually certified platinum.  The accomplishment only helped build anticipation and pressure for its follow-up, ‘True To Self.’

A feature-less affair originally set for a late June 2017 release, Tiller took his followers by surprise when he released the project a month early.  So far, the critics have been blessing Bryson’s bearing with thumbs up across the board.  Now, two days after its release, industry analysts are forecasting that response may be well on its way to being reflected commercially:

This week’s From The Vault is a release that didn’t receive the recognition it deserved.
Today we salute ‘Never Too Far’ by one of the greatest to rock a mic – Mariah Carey.

‘Far’ was issued as the second single from Carey’s ill-fated and oh-so-underrated ‘Glitter’ LP – which served as the soundtrack to the movie of the same name. The ballad was baked by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis who had become frequent collaborators of the diva.

Unlike its Top 3 predecessor ‘Loverboy,’ the single failed to make an impact on the US charts, mainly due the fact that Mimi was going through a nervous breakdown, rendering her unable to promote the cut.

Still it was a minor hit in the UK where it reached the Top 40.

As she was in no condition to shoot a music video for the song, its official music video was a segment from the movie where Mimi’s character Billie Frank belts the ballad.

Though chart glory wasn’t in the cards for this song, we here at TGJ love it til this day and consider it one of her last great ballads.

With Mariah working on new music, hopefully we’ll get updated ‘Never Too Far’s and ‘Underneath The Stars’ instead of the usual ‘We Belong Together’ and ‘Touch My Body’ re-hashes. Two songs that slay but have become blueprints that she is over-reliant on these days.

Mimi, the ball’s in your court!

Boom like an 808!  Ameriie is back!

The ‘1 Thing’ beauty may have seen the buzz for her 2016 EP ‘Drive’ ride right into obscurity shortly after its release, but thankfully that hasn’t discouraged her from continuing to push toward the release of her long-awaited next LP.

Now, after a year of silence, A has surprised fans with the release of ‘Red Rum’ – a trap-tinged tune that sees the songstress show off every element of the sonic formula that her fans have grown to know and love (rhythmic repetition, unique harmonic layering, and sensual lyrics).

Keen to hear the latest the R&B diva has cooked up?  Its all yours below:
