As the man behind Usher‘s ‘Climax‘, Keyshia Cole‘s ‘Enough Of No Love’ and many a cut on Ciara‘s ‘One Woman Army‘, Elijah Blake is fast becoming Pop’s most sought after contributor.

However, while his skills have already seen him win an ‘industry concentrated’ respect , it’s his work on Rihanna’s ‘Unapologetic’ that has many a Pop fan foaming at the mouth, with some now hailing him as the male equivalent to Ester Dean.

Now, in an interview with That Grape Juice.Net, he has opened up on his friendship with the Def Jam belle and the inspiration behind his work for her.

British chart-topper Rita Ora looks all flavours of fierce on the cover of ‘Glamour’ magazine’s January 2013 issue.

The high-profile feature is the latest in a long-line of promotional stops for the 22 year old who has been on a relentless campaign in support of her debut album ‘ORA’ all year.

********

Satisfying today’s sad, yet real reality that successful acts must “look the part”, Ora is particularly refreshing in that she actually boasts a distinctive and powerful Pop voice. A fact which trounces the so-so nature of some of her material; and a fact which, ultimately, makes the prospect of what she can become especially exciting. After all, it’s infinitely better to have the talent first and let the rest fall into place later, rather than to still be developing actual talent six or seven albums in.

Your thoughts?

Easily one of 2012’s biggest breakout stars, Rita Ora has achieved in twelve months what some of her contemporaries have been striving for for years.

Indeed, with three (consecutive) UK 1#’s, a chart-topping album in ‘ORA’, and a fourth single that also touched the top 10, the Londoner’s popularity on home soil is undeniable.

Only natural, then, is for the 22 year old to reward her most responsive market with a nationwide trek. Christened the ‘Radioactive Tour’, the jaunt commences next year ahead of Ora’s full-on US launch.

Dates and ticket details await below…

With the December 11th release of Bruno Mars‘ sophomore set ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’ fast approaching, the Soul-filled crooner has unwrapped another track from the album.

Since blazing onto the scene six years ago, Leona Lewis has become just as synomous with “talented” as she has “quiet”. Yet, the X Factor graduate turns the volume all the way up in this stunning new shoot for YOU magazine.

The feature forms the latest promo stop for the singer in the push for her third LP ‘Glassheart’, which debuted at #4 on the Official UK Album Chart in October. ‘Lovebird’, the second single to be lifted from the set, is released today.

Entirely aware of her “nice” reputation, the 27 year old addresses it her interview with the publication.

Guess who’s back?

Indeed, ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ divo Chris Brown has fired up his Twitter account again today after a short hiatus due to an e-spat with comedienne Jenny Johnson last week.

As fans know, the singer’s Twitter handle may have been on vacay for a short stay, but his Instagram account never stopped buzzing – as evidenced by Brown’s recently uploaded picture of himself and “friend”/”singer” Rihanna – similar to one she shared last week…

 Tonight saw ‘Most Girls’ singer Pink grace the ‘X Factor UK‘ stage with a performance of her new single ‘Try’, pulled from her new album ‘The Truth About Love‘.

Joined by a phenomenal orchestra and those vocals, this performance is a little tamer than her set at the ‘American Music Awards‘, though still as captivating.

Though armed with the benefit of ‘The X Factor UK’, Brit belle Tulisa has oft struggled to prove her worth as a ‘high end’ act since joining the series last year.

Indeed, though she stands as a far better vocalist than one time judge Cheryl Cole, the ‘Young‘ singer’s undeniably ‘basic’ demeanour has seen her fall short of winning the  support afforded to Cole by both the press and the general public during her time on the show.

Now watch her perform her latest single ‘Sight Of You’ on tonight’s episode and let us know what you thought of it below…
