Stirring an already boiling pot of anticipation for his sixth studio album ‘X,’ Grammy winning singer/songwriter Chris Brown has given fans a taste of what his new project is serving via hit singles ‘Loyal,’ ‘Fine China,’ and the Usher-assisted ‘New Flame.’

Now, with his first post-prison interview, the R&B bad boy took to Billboard magazine to encourages #TeamBreezy to look for more than club bangers and sexually charged numbers from his forthcoming LP.

“I think for this album I just want the fans to see the growth, coming of age, becoming a man, but also still being able to move with the culture, ya know influence the culture,” he said. “With this album I want to just project that and have them see what I can bring to the table as an artist and entertainer.”

In addition to touching on topics of personal and artistic maturity, the now highly publicized sit down also saw him weigh in on love, loss, and, of course, Rihanna.  Accompanied by a kaleidoscope of the ‘Look At Me Now’ hitmaker’s statement fashion pieces and visual art, tuck in below to see a behind the scenes look at the interview and its adjoining photo shoot:

In addition to dodging diss records from the likes of fellow pop titan Taylor Swift,  ‘Dark Horse’ hitmaker Katy Perry is readying a ride to the top of charts yet again with her newest single ‘This Is How We Do.’

Looking for the trick to push the song up from its present position of #29 on the Billboard Hot 100, the diva has tapped into her ever so trusty bag of “quirky and cute” to build a visual said to be filled with a number of OMG-worthy including dancing pizza and Mariah Carey-inspired drag queens.

Despite a noticeably absent Riff Raff (who acts as the song’s co-star), the video does feature Perry’s newly signed artist Ferras and NBA star Jason Collins.  

Before you can get your sights on the video’s full rainbow of characters, check in below for a behind the scenes glimpse:

K. Michelle is a busy belle these days.

Having recently concluded a one-season stint on ‘Love & Hip-Hop New York’ after finding fame on the Atlanta series, the songbird garnered praise aplenty last month for turning her debut album ‘Rebellious Soul’ into a televised musical for VH1.

And with a new LP on the horizon, the singer looks set to have quite the promotional vehicle in the form of her upcoming new reality show ‘K. Michelle: My Life’ – which begins airing in November.

So, with Q4 upon us, what better time than the present to unwrap the project’s leading single?

K clearly concurs because today saw her reveal the title of the track, ‘Love ‘Em All’, and a preview of it too.
