Ne-Yo and wife Crystal Smith announced their intent to divorce back in February, but it looks like love prevailed.

Because, the R&B crooner makes a public declaration of affection to his Mrs in the video for new single ‘U 2 Luv’ featuring Jeremih.

Featuring a cameo by Jess Hilarious, the clip sees Ne-Yo serenade his woman and make oh so clear that “I don’t want nobody else.”

The track, which melts elements of two classic 80s jams– Mtume’s ‘Juicy Fruit’ and Zapp’s ‘Computer Love,’ has been met with a favorable response from fans.

John Legend‘s latest album, ‘Bigger Love,’ may not have entered the Billboard 200 with his biggest first week sales (as we reported here), but that certainly is not the result of a lack of effort on his part.

The EGOT-winner has spent much of 2020 hitting the (virtual) promo trail in its support – nabbing features on high profile television shows, magazines, and more.

Despite seeing the LP’s accompanying tour postponed due to the current global health crisis (click here to read more), Legend’s still finding ways to bring the set’s content to the masses. His latest endeavor came in conjunction with NPR as he headlined their newest Tiny Desk Concert.

Look inside to hear him crank out tunes ‘Wild,’ ‘Ooh Laa,’ ‘Conversations in the Dark,’ and more.

EMMY-nominated actress Letitia Wright leads the cast of ‘Mangrove,’ a forthcoming episode of Amazon Prime’s ‘Small Axe’ (an anthology series from Steve McQueen).

Telling the true story of the Mangrove Nine (a group of Black activists who clashed with London police during a protest march in 1970), the event spurred a highly publicized trial that was later christened the “first judicial acknowledgment of behavior motivated by racial hatred within the Metropolitan Police. “

Before pouring out ‘Red Sangria’ recently, fans of ‘American Idol’ alum Jordin Sparks had been wondering where she’s been keeping new music bottled up.

Sure, there’s been the occasional standalone single and even a 2019 joint EP with singer-songwriter Elijah Blake (‘1990 Forever’), but by-and-large the GRAMMY nominee’s been pretty quiet since the 2015 release of her junior album, ‘Right Here Right Now.’

That changed last month when she unleashed tunes ‘Unknown’ (click here to listen) and ‘Sangria,’ with the latter recently getting the video treatment.

Look inside to see the Jamal Josef-directed action (which features appearances from actress Amber Riley, Sparks’ husband/model Dana Isaiah, & ‘grown-ish’ star Francia Raisa).
