Kelly Rowland has been rather quiet of late, hasn’t she?
Having signed on as a judge on The X Factor USA, the natural assumption is that her “hiatus” was being used to film the FOX hit – which returns to TV screens next month. However, with new album ‘Talk A Good Game’ still a “fresh release” and in need of a push, many were left scratching their heads as to why Ms. Kelly has seemingly disappeared from the spotlight.
Well, it appears they may indeed be a method to the madness.
After unveiling a Vimeo-exclusive preview of the highly anticipated offering, Syleena Johnson & Musiq Souldchild finally invite all to tuck in below to see the official accompanying music video for ‘Feel The Fire’ – the hot new single from duo.
The R&B vets first excited fans with news of their forthcoming duet album ‘9ine’ earlier this year and have now delivered a long-awaited clip for the reggae-tinged tune.
What are you waiting for? Your first peek awaits below:
As the likes of Lady GaGa and Katy Perry would have already learned, the inclusion of streaming views to Hot 100 chart placements truly is an industry God send.
Giving established acts like themselves no choice but to win with every release, the ladies will no doubt see their pal Beyonce fare just as well when she kicks off the campaign for her new album.
In fact, if a new feat landed by the star is anything to go by, she can expect her brand new single to soar straight to the Top Ten upon release.
This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star sails in from South Floridian crooner Random Wright. Press ‘PLAY’ below to see Random take on Katy Perry‘s latest smash hit ‘Roar’ – the first release from her forthcoming album ‘Prism’ (October 22).
Alright then Mr. Wright.
Some of you may remember Random from his casting on MTV’s ‘Making the Band 4’, but for those of you who don’t, the video above provides just a glimpse of his ability. Taking a lighthearted approach to Perry’s thunderous empowerment anthem, Wright was sure not to take away from the intensity of the song when it mattered most (i.e. the chorus).
Quite reminiscent of Jason Mraz in his approach to this tune, the simplicity of Random’s performance may seem just that when compared to the original. But, after just a few seconds of listening you quickly see that somehow, someway it just works.
Bravo!

Currently riding high on the charts courtesy of production + guest slots Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’ and Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’, it’ll be uber interesting to what the Neptunes star has cooked up for Onika. Especially in light of the femcee’s declaration that this record will move away from the candy-coated Pop and instead re-embrace the “harder” Hip-Hop sound that defined “mixtape Nicki”.
With the release of Mutya Keisha Siobhan‘s comeback single ‘Flatline’ fast approaching, the ladies have given fans a behind the scenes look at the track’s accompanying video.

Alas, much like Rihanna‘s performance in ‘Battleship‘, things took a sharp turn for the worst when it emerged that the pair had gone from friends….to foes.
Now, as she continues to support and empower youth of all demographics, the star has revealed that she too remains a victim of bullying.

Next in line? Papoose, firing shots at the LA native with a response some are billing the best to unearth in the last week.
The good people of Belgium got more than they bargained for yesterday, when Hip Hop craftsman Eminem served the very first live performance of his new song ‘Survival’ live at their ever popular ‘Pukklepop’ Festival!
Released as part of the forthcoming ‘Call of Duty: Ghosts‘ package, the song will appear on the Rapper’s brand new album, sending fans into a frenzy when he surprised them with it at the sold out gig.
