Tamar Braxton is on fire!

Keen to fly the R&B’s flag higher than she’s ever flown it before the ‘Calling All Lovers‘ singer has released a stunning visual to support its latest supporting jam ‘Angels & Demons.’

The LP drops on October 2nd and will have the heavy duty of competing with Janet Jackson’s ‘Unbreakable’ which hits retailers on the same day.

Fortunately, if its sales mirror the video below, Braxton has very little to worry about.

Brilliance after the jump…

Ciara certainly knows how to keep her name in the mix.

Indeed, beyond releasing new album ‘Jackie’ back in May, the 360 siren has been living up to said billing by appearing in TV shows, fronting fierce fashion campaigns, and now getting in on the film arena.

The 29-year-old has been tapped to record her own rendition of ‘Paint It Black’ by the Rolling Stones for Vin Diesel‘s new movie ‘The Last Witch Hunter.’

In a brand new trailer unleashed moments ago, a preview of the song features — and it’s not what folk may expect to hear from the R&B belle.

2015 JUNO Awards - Show

The Weeknd is officially the man to beat on the charts.

As if dominating the top 10 for most of the summer with hits ‘The Hills’ and ‘Earned It’ wasn’t enough, he’s now added ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ – his first #1 single on the Hot 100 – to the bunch.  Yes, he may have known temporary dethronement last week as Justin Bieber‘s comeback single ‘What Do You Mean’ knocked ‘Face’ from the top spot…but that was then.

Roaring back to the perch of the Hot 100, The Weeknd’s return is accompanied by news his sophomore LP ‘Beauty Behind the Madness’ will probably enjoy a third week at #1 on the Billboard 200.  The feat makes him the first solo male artist in history to simultaneously be #1 on the Artist 100, Hot 100, and Billboard 200.

The Weeknd‘s “Can’t Feel My Face” rebounds 2-1 for a third nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It replaces Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?,” which falls 1-3 after debuting atop the chart last week. Meanwhile,The Weeknd claims the Hot 100’s top two spots, as “The Hills” rises 3-2, making him the first act to rank at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously, as a lead act on both songs, since 2009.  (source)

Simply put:  the dude is winning.  See the full chart check below to see what we mean:

As muddy messes go, few can rival the all-round ridiculousness of Rihanna‘s eighth album roll-out.

Despite being a part-time singer, but a full time model, the star is – for some strange reason – pursuing the lane of an artiste.

A path, unsurprisingly, that is leading her and the project down a hole some say she’ll struggle to climb out of.

Parallel to the disaster, though, has been a candle of hope from fans that the 27-year-old is cooking up a master-plan of sorts that will reveal itself in a mere moment. “Rihvember” they’ve tirelessly taken to Twitter to chant.

And yet, in the new issue of NME, the Bajan beauty has not only revealed that the project isn’t near completion, she cites Kanye West as one of the causes.

The tea is poured below…

Rihanna doesn’t have any new music in the marketplace, but on the strength of her name has been tapped to cover NME‘s first free issue.

The Instagram model serves her usual brand of brash a-front of the publication, which arrives in the wake of confusion surrounding her eighth studio album (which after two years still has no attached release date).

Inside her accompanying interview, the 27-year-old had interesting words when questioned about chart-topping rival Taylor Swift and Roc Nation companion Kanye West.
