Today saw the chart-topper spring a surprise on fans in the form of a preview of a new video.
The visual in question? ‘Don’t Be Gone Too Long’ – which features Urban-Pop powerhouse Ariana Grande.
While it’s presently unknown when (or if) the clip will receive the full single treatment (it’s featured on C.Breezy’s ‘X’ LP), what is certain is that a sneak peek of its dance break awaits after the jump…
Tuck into ‘Food‘, the latest album from ‘Bossy’ belle Kelis, set for release on April 22nd!
Packing 13 songs exploring the singer’s life since 2010’s ‘Flesh Tone’, the project is now available to stream in its entirety today, giving fans their first listen to the David Sitek-backed piece.
Hungry for new Kelis?
Dig in after the jump!
Alicia Keys is still spinning together her new album, yet that hasn’t stopped the star from not only recording a song for ‘The Amazing Spiderman 2’ soundtrack, she’s also shot a high-octane video too.
The soul-filled songstress is joined by Kendrick Lamar on ‘It’s On Again’ – the visual for which premiered moments ago.
Check out the clip for the Pharrell Williams produced number below…
Jennifer Hudson is back!
After warming up the masses with buzz cut ‘I Can’t Describe (The Way I Feel)’, the vocal powerhouse serves a flavour-filled follow-up in the form of ‘Walk It Out’.
Produced by hitmaker Timbaland (who also features on the track), the cut introduces a whole new Hudson – who ditches the “safeness” of previous releases in favour of gritty delivery and even the odd expletive.
Take a listen below…
Come April 22nd, the world will finally be able to get its hand on ‘Honest’, the latest album from Hip Hop vocalist Future!
Featuring contributions made by the likes of Pharrell Williams and Andre 3000, the project whipped up fresh momentum for itself today when it teased its Drake-backed bop ‘Never Satisfied‘, produced by the prolific Mike Will Made It.
Is it strong enough to carry the album to the commercial heavens?

‘West Coast’, the lead single from Lana Del Rey‘s hotly anticipated sophomore album ‘Ultraviolence’, landed moments ago on BBC Radio 1.
Really, though, what are you waiting for? Take a listen after the jump…
May 6th marks the spot for Mariah Carey.
The premium diva is set to release her 14th studio album next month and in the absence of a hit is taking to the promo trail early.
Carey, who celebrated her 44th birthday last month, sat down with ET Canada recently – dishing garishly on the project and its four-year recording process. The singer also revealed that her 3-year-old twins (who she affectionately dubs “Dem Babies”) feature on a song titled ‘Supernatural’.
Mariah and her album in her words after the jump…
An independent artist she may be, yet Ashanti continues to book stages her major label counterparts could only wish for as she promotes new album ‘Braveheart’.
The latest?
A spot singing the US National Anthem at the Manny Pacquiao vs Timothy Bradley boxing match over the weekend.
Tasked with nailing a song many deem “the” definitive benchmark for any “singer-singer”, how did Ms. Douglas fare?
Her performance of the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ at the MGM Grand Las Vegas awaits with the answer…
Given the “magical” sounds that emanate from Rihanna‘s mouth, it’s fitting that the model performed ‘The Monster’ tonight at the MTV Movie Awards 2014.
Thankfully for the millions watching, the star seems to have taken That Grape Juice‘s advice and locked down a vocal coach, as she actually sounded…decent….during her much hyped showing with Eminem tonight.
Watch the pair, who set out on a sell-out stadium tour this Summer, preview the trek below…
A prolific writer responsible for co-writing the bulk of her own discography, 2011 saw Beyonce score praise from critics and fans alike following the release of her fourth studio album ‘4′, unveiled two years before the arrival of 2013’s ‘Beyonce.‘
Hailed for its raw honesty and a track list that saw her dabble in Funk, Dancehall and PBR&B, the album delivered the Bee Gees-esque ‘Rather Die Young‘, performed live for the very first time during the star’s ‘4 Intimate Nights With Beyonce’ ‘Roseland’ residency.
Knew all of the above already?
Well, one could forgive you for not knowing that before being presented to and subsequently re-written by Carter, ‘Die Young’ was originally served a solo single for songwriter Jeff Bhasker under the alias Billy Kraven, released under the title ‘I’d Rather Die Young.’
Press play to give it a spin below…
This week, From The Vault travels back to the very beginning of the 00’s with the defining R&B smash ‘I Wanna Know’ by crooner Joe.
The lead single from the singer’s third effort ‘My Name Is Joe’, the slow-jam was produced by Edwin «Tony» Nichola and produced by Joe himself. A love song by all counts, the cut stands as Mr Thomas signature song and was, according to Billboard, the 4th biggest song of the year 2000.
Having peaked at #4 on the US Hot 100 and #2 on the Hot Hip-Hop/R&B charts, it didn’t exactly achieve chart glory overseas. Still – as our non-US readers will testify – the track’s significance to modern R&B speaks louder than any chart position would or could.
The visual for the gem was helmed by Billie Woodruff and presented Joe as a knight in shining armor of sorts, rescuing a young lady after a chaotic relationship. Put simply, the perfect gentleman. A brief and quite unnecessary dance-break towards the end of clip throws things off somewhat, but still – Joe gets an “A” for effort, ay?
*****
With the Grammy nominee hard on work on new album ‘Bridges’ and R&B’s stock almost as high as it was when ‘I Wanna Know’ was released, maybe 2014 is the year that will see the vocalist bless (upper region of the) charts with his brand of grown and sexy once again. Should he serve up another classic that will also sound as fresh 14 years after its release, then we see no reason why not!
