Finally we learn when we’ll have our hands on the latest offering from Nicki Minaj.

Our friends at Billboard sent Barbz into a frenzy weeks ago with reports that the album was due on November 28th.  While those reports later proved to be untrue, fans were kept in the dark about the release date of the ‘Anaconda’ hitmaker’s new album…until tonight!

After a stage blazing performance at the 2014 Fashion Rocks, Minaj took to Twitter to lift the lid on the project’s due date.  Looks like it’ll be available even sooner than we previously thought: (more…)

Singer/songwriter Ne-Yo continues to bid adieu to his chart-topping, pop-flavored offerings with his new Juicy J-assisted single ‘She Know.’

The second single lifted from his 2015 due album ‘Non Fiction,’ the horn-drenched/bass driven ode to “bad chicks” follows ‘Money Can’t Buy’ ft. Fabolous.  With reports of an accompany Stateside tour to support the project kicking off next month, it’s pretty safe to say Ne-Yo is looking to pull out all the stops with his forthcoming release.

Is ‘She Know’ what he’ll need to top the charts once more?  Listen and tell us below:

The unstoppable Pop princesses that are Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora stopped by ‘Ellen‘s house today, treating the talk show host and her guests to a performance of their smash hit single ‘Black Widow.’

Packing the same live arrangement as their ‘MTV Video Music Awards’, their performance came equipped with a live orchestra and, rather unfortunately, another awful wig sported by the super talented Rita Ora, guilty of ageing her by about five or six years.

Watch the ladies at work (with said wig) below!

She’s back!

True to her trailblazer status, Mary J. Blige is embarking on an ambitious new project christened ‘The London Sessions’.

The concept LP, which serves as the singer’s first since 2011’s ‘My Life II: The Journey Continues’, is unique in that it was created during a one-month studio run in London and was sewn together by primarily British songwriters and producers. Indeed, the likes of Naughty Boy, Emeli Sande, and Disclosure were drafted in to create the album.

And having given fans a taste of what to expect with new number ‘Right Now’, the Grammy winning diva has unveiled the set’s official cover – which you can peep above – and its UK and US release dates, which await below…
