And the fun-filled spars have sparked ample debate about which acts should go head-to-head next.

One of the most demanded by fans has been a showdown between divas Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston – possibly with a known figure representing the late vocal supernova who died in 2012.

Beyonce‘s visual album ‘Black Is King’ blazed onto Disney+ yesterday and shook the internet all the way up.

A year in the making, the breathtaking production shone a spotlight on Africa – with the singer billing it her love letter to the Motherland.

Inspired by the themes explored in ‘The Lion King’ (the billion-dollar blockbuster Bey starred in as Nala), this film is powered by the music found on 2019 companion compilation ‘The Lion King: The Gift.’ A critically-acclaimed effort that saw the singer join forces with some of Africa’s brightest shining stars such as Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, and Yemi Alade. 

Shooting spanned many locations across the globe, including Nigeria, Ghana, London, Belgium, and Los Angeles. And the resulting film has received rapturous applause from fans and critics alike.

If the braggadocious lyrics found aboard ‘Red Sangria’ are any indication, Jordin Sparks is (rightfully) feeling herself.

Stunning fans last week with news about the new song (as we reported here), the tune is reportedly the first lifted from her long-awaited fourth studio album (the first since 2015’s ‘Right Here Right Now’).

Having seen her most memorable chart moments based on the backs of ballads and slower tempo numbers, ‘Sangria’ serves as a welcomed departure to the more club-ready side of the tracks.
