Her new album may be a ‘4 Letter Word‘, but Elle Varner has only one thing on her mind right now…and that’s her man.

Indeed, on the album’s lead single ‘Don’t Wanna Dance’, the ‘I Don’t Care‘ singer cares little for the typical night out with her girls and longs to be with her loved one instead, pouring out her feelings with a little help from A$AP Ferg.

In the mood for new Elle?

Future-that-grape-juice-2014-98

It’s safe to say 2014’s been quite the year for Hip Hop singer Future!

From welcoming the arrival of his latest child to planning his first wedding with R&B chanteuse Ciara, to say the star has been busy would be an understatement.

Has that stopped him from delivering the goods on a music tip? No, and today saw him prove himself to be quite the multi-tasker when he took time out of wedding planning to release ‘Rock Star’, featuring Nicki Minaj.

Listen below!

Now it would seem Ms.Keri is ready to return, teasing the release of a brand new album filled with “dreamy” new songs!

She sings.

She acts.

She models.

Seriously, is there anything Pop sensation Rita Ora can’t do? As you figure that one out, why not join the star in welcoming the arrival of shots pulled from her Roberto Cavalli Autumn/Winter 2015 campaign!

Unlocked today, the snaps come courtesy of Francesco Carrozzini while her arrangement with Cavalli will no doubt be used to bring her plans to dominate the US charts to fruition, months before the release of her debut LP in the country!

On a singles tip, very few have enjoyed a run half as impressive as Jason Derulo‘s.

However, the fact remains that when it comes to albums, the entertainer is one of the lowest selling acts of all time, with his sales still yet to cross the 1 million unit mark in the US even when sales from all three of his LPs are combined.

Could this be the reason ‘BET’ is yet to embrace the well behaved star?

That may be the question many of his fans ask themselves today, after he openly addressed the network’s interesting decision not to celebrate his ‘Hot 100‘ successes by inviting him to perform at this year’s ceremony…while showing love to some of his more controversial rivals.

Why he is “almost done” with the network?

His words below…

Joining John Legend and others to lead R&B’s return to Pop’s scene is Jhene Aiko, the critically acclaimed vocalist gearing up for the release of her debut album, ‘Souled Out.’

So, when fans can their hands on the release?

For most R&B staples, nabbing opening numbers between the 50 to 65,000 units mark has become the unfortunate norm.

So, you can imagine how delighted fans of ‘Trigga’ performer Trey Songz are today, now that his new LP has impacted the ‘Billboard 200′ with sales of over 100,000 units!

fifth-harmony-that-grape-juice-19

Fifth Harmony waste no time pushing their latest single ‘Boss’, flinging its music video to the masses days after releasing the sassy number!

The thing is, while we’re completely behind the ladies’ “pro-girl” approach, we can’t say their new sound is the direction they should be heading in, not helped by a video which does very little to appease their pre-teen audience.

For, as tempting as “spicing it up” may seem to Pop princesses hoping to break new ground, one really should get in where they can fit in, playing it safe until they’ve garnered a fan base big enough to carry them should they then decide to switch it up.

Why we worry ‘Harmony’ are getting it terribly wrong?

With EDM on its way out of Pop’s compound, critics set their sights on Lady GaGa to see just how much her new album will embrace a genre she helped to reignite in the US back in 2008.

Now, six years later, the singer seems to be hinting at the direction she may take next with her forthcoming ‘Cheek to Cheek‘ effort and her recent tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, performing her Gershwin-penned ‘I’ve Got a Crush on You.’

Would it be a reach to expect a Jazz-inspired project from the star?

‘Motivation’ producer Rico Love continues on in his quest for superstardom with ‘Freak No More’ today, a remix of Migos‘ number of the same name.

Though yet to convince everyone of his potential as an artist, the rapper is nothing short of impressive on the release, giving the  “ratchet” song a touch of class in ways only he knows how.

‘Freak’ with Love and weigh in on his latest effort, below!
