Nathan Sykes is wasting no time getting US fans psyched for his solo debut.
For, after introducing British supporters to his new soulful sound with the release of ‘Kiss Me Quick,’ the former member of The Wanted has jet out to the States to promote the track.
And his first stop was a major one.
Moments ago, the 22-year-old took front-stage-centre on Good Morning America where he and his full band jammed to the infectious cut.
With Ciara‘s new video‘Dance Like We’re Making Love’racking up millions of views a day, the sultry songstress is giving the masses new insight into the creative process.
Released to Apple Music, the clip provides an all access pass to see how director Dave Meyers and Team CiCi crafted the much praised production over the two-day shoot.
Thematically, it’s explained that the name of the game was to stress the 29-year-old’s femininity while building towards the word at the heart of the song – dance.
Check out the behind the scenes of the ‘Jackie’ jam after the jump…
As anyone familiar with Tamar Braxton‘s brand will attest, the term outspoken defines her.
Hence, it was little surprise that when stopping by the Angie Martinez Show on Power 105.1 to promote new single ‘If I Don’t Have You’ the youngest of the Braxton clan served up a number of notable soundbites.
Indeed, beyond confirming that new album ‘Calling All Lovers’ has been been bumped from its July release to September 11th, the 38-year-old made an interesting observation about Rihanna.
Those who feared Rihanna‘s new LP would drop in 2016 needn’t worry.
For, Def Jam‘s CEO Steve Bartels recently sat down with HITS Daily Double to give an interview which spilled a number of positive pieces of information about the project.
The ‘Lose To Win’ songstress is living the lyrics of her hit single after tying the knot with longtime lover Kendall Taylor this weekend.
Radiating all sorts of happiness, the American Idol champion (who has two children from previous relationships) expressed gratitude to her supporters saying:
“How do we thank each and everyone who made Our Day one of the most unique and memorable days we will ever share. To those who texted, called, or prayed during this week and up until today… Know that we love you and we know that if we had more capacity you would have been there, but you were still there in spirit… Now… We are The Taylor’s…. Here we come!”
Congrats to Ms. Barrino Mr and Mrs Taylor!
Here’s hoping her new found happiness will inspire some much needed new music.
Mariah Carey is once again thrilling audiences with her Las Vegas residency, ‘Mariah #1 To Infinity.’
Playing at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, the show has attracted a host of notable names – with the most recent being Katy Perry.
The Pop dominator appeared to love the show and even took a snap with Mimi following the curtain call (pic above) . However, this came after an awkward initial encounter when Ms. Carey didn’t recognize Perry in the audience during the final segment of the show.
Despite her ‘Unbreakable World Tour’ in just one month, Janet Jackson is ensuring it’s not all work and no play.
The iconic diva stepped out in style with the trek’s newly recruited dancers (or as she calls them, ‘The Kidz’) to enjoy rapper J.Cole‘s Los Angeles concert.
Sharing the snap on social media, Ms. Jackson added the caption:
Could she be a fan or could there be a collaboration in the works? One thing is for sure, much of this Janet comeback campaign does feel very calculated and well-thought-out. As such, a JJ and J.Cole is not a far fetched concept at all.
“Bill collectors at my door, what can you do for me?”
This week From The Vault journey’s back to the era when Gwen Guthrie let the world know that there was “no romance without finance.”
Today’s pick is the late chanteuse’s classic anthem ‘Ain’t Nothing Going On But The Rent.’
Written and produced by Guthrie, ‘Rent’ is a R&B song which sassily details how she is only interested in the matters of the heart if it comes with advantages of the cha-ching variety. An ancestor of sorts to Destiny’s Child’s ‘Bills, Bills, Bills’, the track was a minor hit in the US where it reached #42 but fared better in the UK where it was a Top 5 smash.
Filled with faux-subliminal messages like “BUY”, “SPEND”, “MONEY”, the music video showcases footage of men at actual work as well as projections of dollar bills, fancy cars and even a yacht.
Though the message feels somewhat dated in a post Girl Power, Independent Women world, we applaud Guthrie for getting herself out there and stand behind such a bold statement.
