Though due next year, Beyonce‘s fifth studio album is already the hottest topic on the lips of many, thanks in part to her upcoming Super Bowl performance, newly announced Pepsi deal, as well as a docu-movie on HBO.

More than anything, though, it’s the secrecy surrounding the project that has anticipation boiling to fever pitch. However, bit by bit information surrounding the actual music is beginning to treacle out. Indeed, the last few weeks have seen the involvement of The-Dream, Miguel, among others confirmed.

Now, hitmaker Ne-Yo has revealed that he too is about to start cooking up material for the budding icon.

Check out these snaps of ‘King Of Hearts‘ darling Cassie partying it up with ‘Motivation’ mastermind Rico Love recently.

Hitting Miam’s ‘Bamboo‘ to celebrate the writer’s 30th birthday, the pair were spotted months after the mastermind penned ‘Hardly Breathing‘ for Brandy’s ‘2/11’ and Trey Songz‘ R&B smash, ‘Heart Attack‘.

Their partying also arrives two months after Cassie released the video for her new single ‘King Of Hearts‘, which failed to chart…anywhere.

While Fergie‘s sole solo album, ‘The Dutchess’, pre-dates That Grape Juice, it’s fair to say the Black Eyed Peas star had the industry at her beck and call during her singular breakthrough.

Indeed, hit after mega-hit defined her 2006 solo run; a fact which saw her serve as one of the biggest female acts at the time and a fact which has made her solo silence since then wholly puzzling.

For, even though the Peas went on to achieve even greater success upon their return (see: ‘The E.N.D’, ‘I Gotta Feeling’), many still long for another Fergie singular outing.

Well, it appears the 37 year old has listened to those calls.

At the Cell Phones For Soldiers Voli Light Vodka Party last night, the singer (real name Stacy Ferguson) revealed that she is working on a second solo project.

One can’t deny Rita Ora‘s hustle.

Let’s be honest.

Not since the latter part of her ‘Loud‘ era has Rihanna served vocals as consistent as those boasted today, in the moment that is ‘Unapologetic‘.

Now, in a continued effort to flaunt Rihanna the singer, the star delivered what we’ve billed her ‘best performance to date’ on the X Factor UK final with a medley of her most recent hits.

Think we’re exaggerating?

See for yourself below…

‘I’ll be your clown‘.

Emeli Sande stole the show tonight when she arrived at ‘The X Factor UK’ to perform her moving new single ‘Clown’.

Rihanna is indeed pop’s premier polarizer.

With seven albums in just as many years, the Grammy-winner has amassed a wealth of hits that trounce that of rival singers who have twice her tenure (and talent).

But, even with the history books singing her praises and logging new entries of her achievements on a (seemingly) weekly basis, some music buyers are just not sold on Rihanna…

Money can buy many things, but unfortunately for Tesco Value Tulisa it simply wasn’t enough. For despite a huge promotional campaign and weekly exposure on The X Factor, the 24 year old has scored a UK chart double. A double flop.
