Expect to see much of P!nk on newsstands and TV screens in the coming weeks as the GRAMMY winner blazes the promo trail in support of ‘All I Know So Far’ – her new single, album, and Amazon documentary of the same name.  As if that’s not enough, she’s also set to receive the ICON Award at this year’s Billboard Music Awards (as we reported here).

While those topics were among the talking points in her latest appearance in ‘PEOPLE’ magazine, fans were particularly drawn to the singer (born Alecia Moore) waxing honest about the early days of her career – particularly the time when she was fashioned to be the ‘anti-Britney Spears‘ (who was the dominating female force in music when Moore arrived on the scene).

Look inside to see what she said about the subject:

Saweetie‘s work ethic is one to be admired for sure.

Amid dropping and promoting new music for her long-awaited debut studio album, ‘Pretty B*tch Music’ (as we reported here), the ICY Girl is also using her platform to shine a spotlight on rising talents via the recently released ‘Pretty Summer Playlist: Season 1’ (click here to stream).

Having already thrilled her fans (affectionately called the #ICYGang) with the Drakeo the Ruler-assisted ‘Risky’ from the set, now the rapstress (born Diamonte Harper) is trumpeting the arrival of relative newcomer Loui with their joint cut, ‘Talkin Bout.’

Anchored by a sample of Cali Swag District’s eternal party-starter, 2010’s ‘Teach Me How to Dougie,’ interpolated with elements of Kstylis’ signature hit ‘Booty Me Down,’ look down below the jump to watch Loui and Saweetie’s Whipaldo-directed music video for their duet.

Ahead of his September-due new book and album, ‘Precious Stones,’ rapper-singer-producer T-Pain dusts off one of his most precious hits – 2007’s ‘Buy U A Drank’ – to serve as the sample for his new single, ‘I Like Dat.’

A female empowerment anthem, the tune taps R&B siren Kehlani to serve as assistant.

“She don’t want drinks no more if you ain’t bringin’ no dough to the tablе / Ooh, ooh, you know that your bank account big, come back on a weekend, you ain’t able / Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, she gon’ be like, “I got it,” pull a thousand dollars out her side pocket / Ooh that lil’ bit of drank you tried to buy, stop it / Bottles on me, the cork look like a skyrocket, pop it,” Pain croons on the club-ready, DJ Montay-produced bop.

Now shining with a 23-song tracklist of cuts, ‘Beam’ welcomes new tunes “Seeing Green” featuring Drake and Lil Wayne, Minaj’s remix of Skillibeng’s “Crocodile Teeth,” and the amply-teased “Fractions.”
