Legendary Mary J. Blige is gearing up for a long-awaited return to the spotlight.

The R&B chanteuse has maintained a low profile of sorts in recent times, sans the release of her Holiday LP ‘A Mary Christmas’ last year.

However, this Summer sees the singer serve up contribution/s to the ‘Think Like A Man Too’ movie soundtrack.

Vetting and whetting appetites for her comeback, the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul shared a morsel of new music on Instagram today.

In news that will no doubt excite Brandy‘s legion of fans, The Vocal Bible was snapped in the studio this week with legendary hitmaker Dianne Warren.

Taking to Twitter, Warren – who has penned smashes such as ‘Un-Break My Heart’ and Beyonce’s ‘I Was Here’ – posted the shot above with the caption:

Many will recall Warren and B-Rocka’s work on the now-classic ‘Have You Ever?’ from 1998’s ‘Never Say Never’.

With high publicised changes in her private life recently, Brandy spoken freely of her desire to “scream”, holler, and bare her soul on her next album. So, who better to team  up with than one of the most gifted ballad bakers of all-time, D.W. Needless to say, we’re already salivating at the prospect of what the ladies will cook up.

From Ciara to Joan Rivers and many more, Rihanna has seen her fair share of Twitter opponents in her time.  None, however, have “gone in” on the ‘Hard’ hitmaker like serial tweeter Charlie Sheen.

The former ‘Two and a Half Men’ star had more than two cents to lend the Bajan beauty about an encounter at a restaurant last night.  According to Sheen, he attempted to introduce Ri to his fiancee, who is a long-time fan of the singer.  But, after the ‘Disturbia’ diva declined the invitation, Charlie flew into a fiery  Twitter rant that saw him label the Grammy winner a “liar,” “idiot”, and wearer of “bad wigs”.

Never one to keep silent when attacked, see how Ri responded.  It all awaits below:

She’s back!

Twelve years removed from the release of her debut album ‘All I Have‘, Ameriie sets her soulful sights on 2014 for her hotly anticipated comeback, kicking things off with the release of a snippet uploaded to her personal ‘Instagram’ account.

Fortunately, as fans will learn when they press play below, her new jam doesn’t seem to steer too far from the ‘Go-go’ sound she rocked alongside ‘Crazy in Love’ writer Rich Harrison during her initial run!

The ‘One Love, One Rhythm: The Official 2014 FIFA World Cup Album’ seems to be the gift that just keeps on giving.

Indeed, after handing the world Pitbull and Jennifer Lopez’ official jam for this year’s ‘World Cup‘, the project welcomes the unveiling of ‘La La La’, recorded by singer Shakira and Carlinhos Brown!

Arguably better than Lopez’ offering, ‘La La La’ swings into action with the release of its official music video, celebrating Brazil’s sporting spirit and flaunting a sound just as exciting as her performance in the clip!

Enjoy below…

No doubt pleased with the response garnered by new release ‘You Don’t Know What To Do’, Mariah Carey exudes ethereality in a brand new snap pushed to promote her new album, ‘Me.I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse.’

Just as stunning as the performer herself, the shot surfaces five days before the album’s release, led by 2013’s ‘Beautiful’ and the commercially ill-fated but well received ‘You’re Mine’, both of which appear on the Jermaine Dupri-driven project.

Like what you see?

Cop a gander of Rita Ora!

The ‘I Will Never Let You Down’ chart-topper has become the first-ever female to boast her line at sportswear giant Adidas.

This week saw the Roc Nation star debut the first visual from the line, which is due in stores later this year.

The campaign’s kick-off serves as quite the coup for the 23-year-old’s second studio album, which she tells That Grape Juice will arrive “just after the Summer”.

More power to Ms. Ora!
