Commercial success may have evaded her thus far but that hasn’t stopped the vocalist that is Mila J making a fresh attempt to woo music lover with new material.

How? A new mixtape aptly named ‘The Waiting Game’ which features production from Beyonce‘s producer Detail and lyrics from ‘Dirty Sprite’ vocalist Future who appears on the cut ‘Freaknic.’

With the likes of Tinashe and Kehlani making impressive moves in her lane Mila fans will agree that this project has to see her do the same if she’s to make the most of the buzz she was able to garner for herself last year.

If not?

Justin Bieber‘s new album may titled ‘Purpose,’ but ‘Redemption’ feels more apt.

On the eve of its release, the set – which arrives after a tricky few years for the singer – is being tipped for blockbuster success. This, thanks largely to the winning run of lead singles ‘What Do You Mean?’ and ‘Sorry.’

Capitalizing on the public’s renewed embrace of his music the 22-year-old has officially announced the ‘Purpose Tour.’

Set to kick off in Seattle next March, the US leg of the trek (the first to be unveiled) will wrap up in May 2016 before hitting international markets.

By the look of things, Rihanna is launching everything but her new album.

Indeed, at this junction, the LP’s title ‘ANTI’ seems to stand for anti-release date.

Nonetheless, the conundrum surrounding the serially delayed project hasn’t quelled her desire to trailblaze with other ventures – the latest of which was unveiled today.

Cop a gander of Destiny’s Child divas Beyonce and Kelly Rowland.

The former bandmates and lifelong sisters served style in earnest this week during a visit to the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.

It figures why the ladies are soaking up the free time; Beyonce is hard at work on new projects (which she’s true-to-form remaining mum about), while Ms. Kelly is recording a new album, shooting a BET TV show, and wracking up endorsements.

More power to the ladies. That said, for all their solo endeavours, surely we’re not the only ones who feel the time is ripe for another DC3 run? A tour? An album? A…something?

Why? Because of slayage like this….
