Jhene Aiko takes the term “keeping it real” to new levels on latest release ‘None Of Your Concern.’
Ex boyfriend Big Sean joins the songbird on the candid cut, which sees them lyrically navigate the aftermath of their relationship.
Also in the mix is Ty Dolla $ign, who lends his vocals to the background of the song.
Watch the video for the emotionally raw track below…
Ahead of the release of his own 37-track album, ‘Indigo’ (click here to read), that’s lined with a star-studded tracklist featuring the likes of Drake, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, and many more, Chris Brown continues his collaboration spree with famed R&B singer-songwriter Eric Bellinger.
Tapping the Grammy winner for his song, ‘Type a Way’ (found aboard the ‘The Rebirth 2’ album), Bellinger’s boosting interest in the song by unveiling its virtual reality-driven music video which features cameos from from the likes of fellow singer-songwriter Ne-Yo and viral dance sensation DanRue.
See all the action inside:
From The Vault hits you with yet another classic this. Today’s pick is Ne-Yo’s game-changing ‘So Sick.’
The second single off the singer-songwriter’s 2005 debut ‘In My Own Words,’ the track was a worldwide phenomenon and helped establish Ne-Yo not only as a leading Pop/Urban act but one of music’s most notable writers. Its production was handled by Norwegian hitmakers Stargate and its melody-heavy rooting ushered in a new soundscape in the mainstream.
Inspired by a difficult break-up, ‘Sick’ sees the lovelorn singer lyrically lamenting over his heartache.
This song is considered the star’s breakout single, having reached #1 both in the US and the UK.
Although an initial visual was filmed for the track, another was shot by director extraordinaire Hype Williams.
The fresh iteration, which skewed more seasonal and embraced Williams’ then-prominent aesthetic (see: split screen), was shot in the snowy mountains. Perhaps as a means of capitalizing on the Fall/Winter window and its ballad friendly climate.

What a time!
Not since Ne-Yo (and Chris Brown) has there been a male artist who came out swinging like this from the get-go; even Bruno Mars had to secure spots on well-placed features before the launch of his official solo career.
Looking back, Mr Smith’s success was most certainly justified. Upon hitting the scene, he delivered a genuine dose of freshness. He veered away from the Michael Jackson formula that Usher, Timberlake and Brown were so reliant on at the time. Instead, his proposition was one anchored in the production of melodic, emotional, and lyrically engaging radio jams that were paired with striking visuals. A modern Babyface, if you will.
We can only hope he has as much longevity as his predecessor.
Ne-Yo, we salute you!

‘Good Man,’ the seventh official LP from R&B crooner Ne-Yo, may be the first project of his prized discography to miss the top 10 upon its debut (click here to read more), but that certainly hasn’t stopped Grammy-winner from showing off some of its gems on the promo trail.
Limiting most of its promo to radio, print, and online to date, the 38-year-old took to the late night circuit courtesy of a visit to ‘Jimmy Kimmel’ this week to give televised performances of new tunes ‘Push Back,’ ‘Apology,’ and ‘Nights Like These.’
Did you miss any of the action? It awaits inside:
As a songwriter and performer, R&B crooner Ne-Yo‘s run of back-to-back hits in the noughties almost knew no equal. Debuting atop the Billboard 200 with his debut LP, ‘In My Own Words’ (2006), his presence on the album charts in the decade that followed – despite varying degrees of success – still saw each of the 5 projects that succeeded ‘Words’ premiere in the tally’s top 10.
His latest effort, ‘Good Man’ (released June 8th), is unfortunately unable to boast the same.
Kicked off by a number of teaser tunes before seeing its title track and the Bebe Rexha/Stefflon Don-assisted ‘Push Back’ named its official launching singles, the effort admittedly went to chart battle with little fanfare – especially compared to antecedent albums.
That absent buzz, coupled in a week dominated by news surrounding the releases of Dave Matthews Band and Kid Cudi & Kanye West‘s first joint album respectively, saw ‘Good Man’ pushed back to a much lower entry point on the Billboard 200. Its debut not only comes as Ne-yo’s first project to miss the top 10 upon its release, but the entire top 30!
Details inside:
Ne-Yo has unwrapped his long-awaited new album ‘Good Man.’
In the run-up to the LP’s arrival, the seasoned chanteur described the set as a collection of songs that celebrate the man he’s become, while reminiscing on the experiences, encounters, and alterations made along the way.
Joining him on the project are the likes of PARTYNEXTDOOR, Bebe Rexha, Stefflon Don, and Eric Bellinger.
With singles ‘Push Back’ and ‘Summertime’ whetting appetites, meet ‘Good Man’ in his entirety after the jump….
‘Dance Again’ diva Jennifer Lopez is going to do just that as reports have it she – alongside fellow judges Ne-Yo, Derek Hough, and hostess Jenna Dewan – will be coming back to NBC for yet another season of the hit reality dance competition, ‘World of Dance.’
The critical and commercial response to the show’s first season (which captured audiences by the millions) was so favorable the network has granted it a season 3 return…ahead of its season 2 premiere!
Details inside:
VH1 celebrated Mother’s Day early last night with their second annual ‘Dear Mama’ special.
The show, which saw a number of notable names honor their moms, also brought with it special performances.
As reported, Jessie J blew the roof off the building with her showing.
And now, there’s more.
Teyana Taylor teamed with Bobby Brown to perform his classic ‘Every Little Step’ to salute her mother. Elsewhere Ne-Yo serenaded Gabrielle Union‘s mom with the title track of new album ‘Good Man’ and dusted off the classic ‘Miss Independent.’ Jhene Aiko also took to the stage with her daughter Namiko Love and duetted on the aptly titled ‘Sing To Me.’
All awaits after the jump…
For almost 30 years, En Vogue have been at the forefront of R&B excellence.
Indeed, sewn into the group’s fierce fabric is the reality that every member possesses the potency to be lead. In many ways, it’s the reason the ensemble has long been hailed as a “super group.”
The dual definition of divadom and endurance, the vocal ensemble are now a trio comprised of originals Terry Ellis and Cindy Herron-Braggs as well powerhouse Rhona Bennett – who has been a member for over a decade.
Today marks the global release of En Vogue’s long-awaited seventh album ‘Electric Café’ – which features contributions from the likes of Ne-Yo and Snoop Dogg.
As the ladies geared up to set sail on their supporting international tour, That Grape Juice caught up with member Terry to discuss the trek, the new music, biopics, reality shows, Fifth Harmony‘s split, and much more.
Demonstrating a ‘return to form’ of sorts courtesy of his latest releases – ‘Good Man’ (the title track from his forthcoming album) and ‘Another Love Song’ – R&B singer/songwriter Ne-Yo continues to tease a full on comeback, most recently tapping rapstress Stefflon Don and fellow chart-topping singer/songwriter Bebe Rexha to assist.
Last Friday, the trio delivered ‘Push Back’ (click here to listen) – an island-kissed groove that has fans and critics delivering thumbs up across the board. To see that fanfare extended to music buyers at large, the Grammy winner’s giving a behind the scenes look at the video’s creation.
Tapping James Larese to direct, look inside to see what the three have cooked up ahead of the clip’s arrival in full:
