Fresh from winning over hearts and Grammys with his impressive ‘Adorn’ performance at this year’s award ceremony, “Kaleidoscope Dream” divo Miguel lifts the latest visual from its critically acclaimed parent album “Kaleidoscope Dreams”.

The song, ‘Candle In the Sun’, is accompanied by heart-wrenching imagery of the devastation of 2012’s Hurricane Sandy, Sandy Hook elementary, and so much more.

Band! 1234!

If you consider yourself a fan of ‘Pepsi‘ belle Beyonce, you’ll be all too familiar with the above.

A staple in the star’s live renditions of her 2003 classic ‘Crazy In Love‘, and now- in remembering one of her strongest servings of the songs- today’s Retro Rewind takes it all the way back to 2004. More specifically, BPI’s BRIT Awards.

‘There’s so much power in my name!’.

Her vocals may be a little…ugh, and her US chart success a little ‘slim’ when compared to those held by the likes of GaGa and Adele. However, for every flaw to be found in Rihanna’s brand- there are 10 good to counteract it.

This week, one of these came in the form of a lucrative deal with MAC cosmetics for a deal that may go some way to threaten Nicki Minaj‘s current reign with the company.

Guess who’s still selling like hot cakes?

Cop a gander of R&B beauties Alexandra Burke and LeToya Luckett.

The pair was snapped catching up at an NBA All-Star event in Houston, Texas over the weekend.

Brit-bred Burke was in H-Town recording her third studio album, while former Destiny’s Child member Luckett resides there (when not working in Los Angeles). No word on when Lady L will be releasing her own third project, however she’s by no means idle. The 31 year old is a series regular on BET sitcom ‘Second Generation Wayans’ and is set to star in a new Gospel production.

More power to the ladies in their respective hustles?

Randomness: Does anyone else think a collaboration between the two would be super interesting? It wouldn’t be the first time LeToya has joined forces with a UK songstress. Indeed, her sophomore set ‘Lady Love’ housed the sublime Estelle collaboration ‘Take Away Love’.

As reported here, ‘Breakaway’ beauty Kelly  Clarkson broke her silence via open letter to former mentor/music mogul Clive Davis after his damning comments about her in his new memoir ‘The Soundtrack Of My Life’.

After Clarkson’s slam made headlines across the net, Davis took to Twitter to offer a response to the young diva’s claims.

The statement came shortly after the airing of his stop by ‘Katie’ where he opened up about his reported bisexuality and was later joined by ‘Climax’ crooner Usher to reflect on time with Whitney Houston and more.

…as if Beyonce didn’t have enough to celebrate this month.

After wowing the world with her Super Bowl 2013 Half Time Set two weeks ago, the ‘Start Over’ singer has given the folks over at HBO much to smile about this week, following the airing of her critically acclaimed ‘Life Is But A Dream’ documentary.

Do not cross Kelly Clarkson. She bites back.

The Pop powerhouse has hit out at former label head Clive Davis following remarks the mogul made about working with her in his headline grabbing memoir ‘The Soundtrack Of My Life’

Though somewhat surprising given Davis’ level of seniority in the industry, the spat is not entirely shocking. For, the American Idol winner made no secret of her lack of satisfaction with Davis and the team handling her career in the immediate aftermath of her 2004 mega-seller ‘Breakaway’. Indeed, the project’s follow-up ‘My December’ saw tensions reach fever-pitch – resulting in the said album’s underperformance.

And while Clarkson’s return to prominence with 2009’s ‘All I Ever Wanted’ (and the slew of hits that followed) sent a message that any issues were now water under the bridge, the feud has seemingly been reignited.

It may be a New Year, but the same issues are plaguing some of our most anticipated releases.

Unfortunately, the dreaded “push back” has struck again with singer Fantasia its latest victim.

Originally slated for release next month, the star’s fourth studio album ‘The Side Effects Of You’ has been held back until an undetermined date. And while many anticipated this in the absence of a radio or video release for its lead single ‘Lose To Win’, the American Idol alum has explained why the move to delay the “rock soul” sounding set was a must.
