June 17th will see Jennifer Lopez unleash her latest set of jams, when her 10th studio album struts into stores.

And after wrapping much of the project in secrecy (sans of course the slew of singles that are preceding the project), today saw the diva unveil the album’s title and accompanying cover.

Heeding to That Grape Juice‘s suggestion of what she should christen the LP, Lopez confirmed moments ago that the project has been titled…

‘A.K.A’

(An acronym for “Also Known As”)

She also shared the oh so lush cover above.

Now, that is d-i-v-a! Simple title and a stunning cover – one that stresses natural beauty (see: not “Catfishing” like certain other songbirds). She looks #Beautiful!

‘A.K.A’ is preceded by singles ‘I Luh Ya Papi’ and ‘First Love’.

How kind is Adele? “Very” if the star’s latest tweet is anything to go by.

Two years have passed since Monica last blessed the charts with her most recent album, ‘New Life’.

In the years that followed, the singer has embraced the concept quite literally – living the married life with husband Shannon Brown and welcoming daughter Laiyah.

Now, the songbird is gearing up for a return to the charts and is letting fans hear morsels of new music.

Taking to Instagram this weekend, the 33-year-old shared a clip from a studio session, which included new track ‘Ocean Of Tears’.

Hours before she joins Andy Cohen for a one on one ‘Bravo’ special, Porsha Williams took one more step towards the charts with the very first performance of her debut single ‘Flatline.’

Putting her new-found fame to good use, the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star rocked NYC’s ‘El Morocco‘ alongside a crew of four dancers and a pre-recorded vocal, delivered before the single’s official video hits ‘VEVO’ on Monday.

How she she? Promising, proving that she stands just one Frank Gatson, LaShawn Daniels and Lisa Ellis away from becoming the R&B force we’d say she’s destined to become!

For dynamo diva Jennifer Lopez, all roads lead to June 17th.

The superstar’s tenth studio album struts into stores on said date and she’s wasting no time whipping up heightened buzz.

Fresh from unwrapping official Pop single ‘First Love’ this week, the 44-year-old has today teased a new song – by way of boyfriend Casper Smart.

Taking to Instagram, the dancer shared a clip of himself and the singer riding in a Jeep listening a fresh track titled ‘So Good’.

Listen below and let us know if the song is indeed…so good!

Former R&B chick Pink and her infectious hit ‘You Make Me Sick’ are this week’s From The Vault pick.

Released in the year 2000, ‘Sick’ was the third and last single off the singer’s debut ‘Can’t Take Me Home’. Produced by Babyface, it sees Ms. Moore-Hart open up about a passionate love affair that has her going out of her mind.

Unlike its predecessors ‘There You Go’ and ‘Most Girl’, it didn’t reach the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, instead peaking at #33. However, it got to the ninth position of the UK Official Singles Chart.

Pink’s frequent collaborator Dave Meyers took charge of the visualization of the track. The result: a high-octane, colorful and hilarious piece of work. Proving that there’s only but a thin line between LOVE and HATE, it was the diva’s first of many comedy-themed videos – which became Pink’s trademark on a visual tip.

Having quite literally ruled the Hot 100 last year, the ‘Just Give Me A Reason’ vocalist seems to be in a league of her own today. Indeed, with her show-stopping stage antics and blend of soulful-Pop/Rock, she incredibly keeps gaining even more recognition at a time when her peers’ stars are starting to fade.

Here at TGJ HQ, we’ll always salivate at the prospect of new material from the ‘Just Like A Pill’ Pop-genius, and we would be lying if we said we weren’t praying for an Urban-tinged album for her next chart assault.

In the meantime…

History has highlighted that even the most seasoned of talents have “bad days”. This evening presented such a case for R&B star and actor Tyrese, who performed the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ at the Floyd Mayweather vs Marcos Maidana boxing match. 

The crooner, whose hits include ‘Sweet Lady’ and ‘How You Gonna Act Like That’, suffered quite the hit when trying to perform the US National Anthem.

Watch his rendition below, where his candid reaction also awaits…

Consider yourself a ‘Cash Money’ naysayer?

Then, consider yourself an enemy of their star player Drake, who threatens to put any of their detractors “down” in ‘Believe Me‘, the latest cut by boss Lil Wayne.

Dispelling any talk of a rift between the pair, the  Boi-1da and Vinylz-produced effort will appear on Wayne’s solo final album ‘Tha Carter V.’

While a number of her rivals clamour for the attention of single-buying teen boppers, Christina Aguilera set her sights on an older audience this year, taking flight towards AC heavens with a set at the ‘New Orleans Jazz Festival.’

Stellar to say the very least, her performance at the 1751 Gentilly Blvd-held event saw her showcase the musicality that’s always placed her head and shoulders above the bulk of her contemporaries and the polished gem that is her voice, neatly restrained but never lacking its signature rasp.
