In an age where an artists’ personality comes hand in hand with the music, Jason Derulo has struggled to find his feet.

Sure, while the outstanding quality of his music stands as his saving grace, cringe worthy ‘Boyband 101’ choreography and seemignly bland personality has worked against him for far too long.

A shame, considering the quality of his voice and the Premium Pop nature of his discography. This year, that discography is set to grow with the release of his brand new single ‘The Other Side’.

Rihanna sure has “interesting” timing.

Proving that she has a competitive spirit rather than a competitive voice, the 25-year-old has unwrapped the teaser for her upcoming ‘777’ Fox documentary the same day her main chart rival released a teaser of her own.

Iggy Azalea teams up with the genius that is Rankin to deliver a video for her song ‘Slo’.

Edited in black & white but nowhere near as interesting as the Rapper’s prior videos, the visual touches down as momentum for her new single ‘Work‘ continues to rise in the UK, enjoying rotation all of the nation’s major stations and rising up the charts with each passing week.
