Talent, above anything else, always holds more weight than hype.

Showcasing both her range and technical skill, the vocalist performed numbers from #1 album ‘ORA’ for the session, which comes in aid of the project’s US leg.

Curious to see just how well she performed?

Prepare to be amazed below…

Creative.

Visionary.

Classic.

The above, as we’re sure you’d agree, are words that fit the description of Dawn Richard all too well. Serving up a number of creative pieces since departing Diddy Dirty Money, the singer/songwriter readies the release of ‘GoldenHeart’.

“It’s true what you heard, I am a freak, I’m disturbed”.

Christina Aguilera gives new meaning to the term ‘a hot mess’ today, teasing this scorching snap from her ‘Your Body’ video.

Unveiled by her friends over at RCA, the snap arrived to alert fans that a preview from the clip will air tonight on NBC’s ‘The Voice’, on which the singer stars in.

We love it, but do you?

Let us know!

‘Confessions’ crooner Usher unmasks a list of just that in his highly anticipated tell-all interview with talk queen Oprah.

Airing via OWN just moments ago, the Grammy-winning singer gave great detail about his turbulent marriage, divorce, and recent custody battle with ex-wife Tameka Foster.   Bouts that have undoubtedly taken a toll on the singer’s professional life as promotions of his latest ‘Looking For Myself’ have had to take a backseat.

Now with all of this in the rearview, you don’t want to miss what Ush came forth and shared tonight.  Most definitely a must see:

Having notched up over a million views in a matter of days, it’s fair to say Ciara is onto a winner with comeback single ‘Sorry‘. 

Hence, so as to keep her buzz a’buzzin, the 26 year old has shared a new promotional shot with her ever-adoring “C-Squad”.

Needless to say, stunning stuff.

We literally can’t wait to see the promotional push for the singer’s fifth studio album ‘One Woman Army’ – which is presently slated for a Fall release. Bring on the performances, pictures, and the whole shabang. We’re amped!

Pop quad Little Mix have unveiled the official cover for their debut album, ‘DNA’.

Due in November, the LP is set to feature the group’s two chart-toppers, ‘Cannonball’ and ‘Wings’, as well as the album’s title-track, which also dubs as their next single.

***********

Having scored two #1’s with two singles, the ladies are off to the best of starts. The true test, however, will come with their album sales. The X Factor winners have both the show and Holiday-release window as big boosters to their campaign; whether or not that’ll be enough to blast them out of “talent show” territory into “credible artists” will be interesting to see. Roll on November.
