Not since the arrival of Ciara in 2004 has the world been introduced to an R&B starlet as promising as Sevyn Streeter, boasting a look and sound that sings to an undeniably ‘high end‘ tune.

A look and sound, that will eventually see her stock rise far beyond R&B’s walls and represent the genre in Pop’s ever gruelling arena.

Don’t believe us? Well, you can take that up with the good people of New Zealand who- much like us- find themselves enamoured by the Atlantic beauty, showing their support to the rising star by purchasing her brand new single ‘It Won’t Stop.’

Why they’ve given her cause to rejoice today?

‘A Dame To Kill For’ star Lady GaGa stepped out in style last night, stopping by at Craig’s Restaurant in LA last night before the November 11th release of her third studio album ‘ARTPOP‘.

Snapped posing in her vehicle before speeding away from the high end scene, the entertainer hit the spot as her new single ‘Applause‘ continues to hold Top Ten spots across the globe, despite facing intense competition from Miley Cyrus‘ ‘Wrecking Ball’, Katy Perry‘s ‘Roar’ and Drake‘s fresh hit, ‘Hold On, We’re Going Home‘.

It goes without saying that Lady GaGa season is in full-swing.

The multi-platinum chart-titan is gearing up for the release of her fourth studio album ‘ARTPOP’ on November 11th and is on a steady, yet aggressive promotional push for the ‘Applause’ led set.

Mother Monster’s campaign trail made a stop on Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live’ last night for what we feel is one of the star’s best interviews yet.

The ever-on-point host Andy Cohen left no stone unturned with his questioning, quizzing the 27-year-old square-on about her next Beyonce duet, her ARTPOP Tour, scrapped collaboration with Cher, and much more.

If it feels as though you aren’t seeing as much of Rita Ora as you used to, it’s with good reason.

For, after watching her debut album reach unexpected heights in the UK, the Eastern belle is currently hard at work on her sophomore set- set to dwarf its predecessor on all fronts.

Today, as she continued work on that album, she was snapped out and about in Los Angeles with a friend- reportedly swarmed by fans sporting a fresher look and longer locks, more of which can be seen below!

Miley Cyrus launches her official foray into Pop-Urban today with the premiere of new single ‘We Can’t Stop’.

Produced by hard-hitting heavyweight Mike Will (Rihanna’s ‘Pour It Up’), the cut is a marked departure from the former Hannah Montana star’s squeaky-clean Pop past. And while it’s yet to be seen how the masses react to the 20-year-old’s reincarnation, a  who’s who of Urban music have lined up to work on ‘Stop’s parent album – including Pharrell Williams and Hit-Boy.

Unwraped moments ago on Ryan Seacrest‘s radio show, you too can get familiar with “new Miley” after the jump…

With Brit-Pop fans in mourning over the split of Girls Aloud, the group’s lead and only singer Nadine Coyle has spoken up and out about their disbanding.

Expected by many to echo the soppy sentiments in yesterday’s break-up statement, Coyle’s first words as an ex-member of the Pop outfit are pleasantly “off-script” and surprisingly frank.

Several months may separate Lady GaGa‘s monsters from the release of ‘ARTPOP’, yet that hasn’t stopped the singer from ramping up buzz for the hotly anticipated album.

Thus far, the star has drip-fed fans with information surrounding the “experience” that the project is shaping up to be. And with this being a “forumla” that has worked, the 26 year old is sticking to it, taking to her Little Monsters platform to share more morsels of info this week.

“I love it- I love it- I love it when you eat it.“

“Stop at the light Imma jump out my Barbie dream car/Imma jump on it- Imma ride him like a theme park.“

It’s lyrics like these Cyndi Lauper may have been addressing, when she billed modern music ‘too sexual’ during an interview with ‘The Metro‘ recently.

Revealing that she shares her fans sentiment that much of today’s music is aggressive ‘Rape music’, the ‘She Bop’ belle had this to say on the matter:

“One young woman walked up to me recently at a concert and thanked me for my work ‘in the midst of all this rape music. I never thought of it like that, but so much music nowadays is about sex, sex, sex and is quite aggressive.

She called it rape music.I thought, ‘Oh my God, I guess she’s right’.

I just try to write music that connects with people’s conscience and make music for awake people rather than sleepwalkers”

So, considering ‘imagery’ endorsed by the likes of Marky Mark, Madonna and Adinah Howard in the 90s compared to outings by the likes of Chris Brown, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj today, we ask this:

Has Pop Music Become ‘Oversexualized’?

As one of Pop’s fastest rising stars, it’s safe to say we’re yet to see Rita Ora looking any less refined off camera than she is on.

For yesterday, the star was unknowingly snapped out and about in NYC dressed in what we’d call a ‘forward thinking’ get up, following her stellar set at the city’s ‘Good Morning America’.

Following the success of the simultaneous radio/iTunes release of Britney Spears‘ new single ‘Hold It Against Me’, arch rivals Sony Music and Universal Music have teamed up for a revolutionary new release strategy.
