Thrown after the ‘Losing My Way’ star signed onto serve as the company’s creative director and one of its many investors, the party took place at the EL Rey Theatre, LA where Lewis has been stationed as of late.

Is the 5th time the charm?  14 time Grammy winner Alicia Keys is probably hoping so with ‘Tears Always Win’ –  the official fifth single lifted from her fifth LP ‘Girl On Fire’.

Taking time from her hotly selling ‘Set the World On Fire’ tour, Keys unveils a Vegas themed visual to accompany the ballad.  But, while the Bruno Mars co-penned tune has long been a critic and fan favorite, its seen a very slow start on charts – making its first impact this month.

Now that it has a Robert Hales-directed video in tow, will that be enough to help the number win on the Hot 100? You tell us below:

Released in 1990, Whitney Houston’s ‘I’m Your Baby Tonight’ became one of the icon’s most renown Pop efforts in the years that followed, but inevitably found itself dwarfed by the ballads that she’s undoubtedly more celebrated for.

Now, in introducing the LA Reid & Baby Face produced jam to her audience, Brandy has made it a staple in her shows following the release of 2012’s ‘Two Eleven’.

As all would agree, to say she does it justice would be an understatement.

So, in the event you haven’t seen her perform it live, check her out in action during her recent gig in Nashville, Tennessee, below!
