Kelly Rowland has been tapped as one of the headliners on the RnB Fridays LIVE Tour in Australia – alongside the likes of Ne-Yo and Craig David.
Seizing the moment, the songstress used her set to introduce fans to brand new song ‘Conceited.’
It’s the first taste of new material from the solo Grammy winner, whose last album arrived way back in 2013.
Check out what it sounds like below…
As they eye glory with their respective new albums, Ne-Yo and Miguel have learned that their wives have joined forces with Nelly‘s other half to build a reality tv show.
Its name?
‘Married to Hip Hop.’
The series, which will impact the world via E!, will follow the lives of several women with romantic ties to Urban music as they juggle life, love, conflicts and budding businesses.
Reports also indicate that Tank’s lover has also signed up to star in the series alongside Asiah Collins, the mother of Kid Ink‘s offspring and Blac Chyna‘s former friend and current foe Heather Sanders.
Jennifer Lopez continues to prove a winning force for NBC.
The media maven saw her new show ‘World Of Dance’ debut Tuesday night on the network – and it performed well out of the gate.
Benefiting from an ‘America’s Got Talent’ lead-in, the show – which awards the eventual winner $1 million – drew 9.75 million viewers. It also generated a 2.4 rating in the key 18-49 demographic.
The figure makes the show the highest rated premiere for a summer alternative series in five years and the most watched in nine.
Lopez, who executive produces the show, also stars on it as a judge alongside Ne-Yo and Derek Hough.
The 47-year-old presently anchors ‘Shades Of Blue’ for NBC too.
Slaying all round.

Congrats to all involved. We enjoyed the first episode. Did you?
This Holiday season will see NBC revive the iconic tale of ‘The Wizard of OZ’ for a modern audience.
Boasting an “urban” skew, ‘THE WIZ LIVE!’ (which airs December 3rd at 8/7c) stars newcomer Shanice Williams as Dorothy, Ne-Yo as Tinman, Elijah Kelly as Scarecrow, and David Alan Grier as Lion.
Helping the quad ease on down the road are Queen Latifah – who‘ll portray the Wiz in the live production, and Mary J. Blige who will play Evillene, the Wicked Witch of the West.
The original African-American retelling of the classic narrative opened on Broadway in 1975, ran for four years, and bagged seven Tony Awards – including Best Musical.
Thereafter, the musical was famously turned into a film in 1978, starring Diana Ross (as Dorothy), Michael Jackson, Lena Horne and Richard Pryor.
What will the 2015 incarnation look like? Wonder no more because a first look at the cast has been unveiled. Check ’em out below…

Those hoping to hear Aiko push herself vocally on these songs will be let down as she doesn’t. However, that doesn’t stop her from breathing exciting new life into the numbers with the help of the project’s producer David Foster.

Producer Deputy is etching both his name and sound into the minds of the masses – thanks largely to the commercial and Pop cultural success of Rihanna‘s ‘Bitch Better Have My Money.’
Together with songwriter Bibi, the Roc Nation talent crafted the hit on everyone’s lips – and is gearing up to bake even more blazing numbers for RiRi.
Speaking to That Grape Juice while in London recently, the rising star relived his journey and revealed that he’s also worked on new music for Beyonce and Alicia Keys.
Check out our EXCLUSIVE chat with Deputy below…
Trey Songz has been steadily building a name for himself in the R&B arena.
Indeed, though his career has yet to reach the heights of rivals such as Chris Brown and Ne-Yo, he does boast a respectable level of success.
Parallel to his rise have been rumors pertaining to his sexuality.
Though unsubstantiated, the claims – which tend to skew from either homosexual to homophobic – have proved somewhat difficult for the R&B crooner to shake.
While talking it up with our friends over at The Breakfast Club this morning (primarily to promote the re-release of current album ‘Trigga,’ the singer took a moment to acknowledge the chatter.
See what he had to say below…
Chris Brown? Check.
Jason Derulo? Check.
Ne-Yo? Check.
Triple threat diva Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to tapping R&B’s hottest crooners to offer her assistance on a track and, as her latest musical endeavor demonstrates, she doesn’t plan on stopping any time soon.
As we reported here, she’s now teamed with Trey Songz for the duet ‘What You Mean To Me,’ found aboard the ‘Finding Neverland: The Album’ project (based on the Broadway production adapted from the 2004 London-set film about playwright J.M. Barrie, portrayed by Johnny Depp).
After a snippet whet appetite weeks ago, the duo have finally unveiled the song in its entirety. So, before you get your hands on the June 9th-due soundtrack of sorts (John Legend, Rita, Ora, Nick Jonas, Christina Aguilera and more), tuck in below to share your thoughts on the unlikely pairing of J. Lo and Trigga:
Melanie Fiona has promised to deliver “the most important album of her career” this month, revealing that she has started work on her first album since her departure from Roc Nation.
Her exciting promise to fans below…
Fact: Despite being greeted with mixed critical review, ‘Non-Fiction,’ the latest album from serial hitmaker Ne-yo, is bound to break into the Billboard 200’s top 10 upon the chart’s refreshing next week. Coming as the only new title predicted to impact the chart’s currently reigning dectet, the album will give the singer-songwriter his sixth consecutive top 10 entry.
Fueled by the Jeezy-assisted ‘Money Can’t Buy’ and top 40 hit ‘She Knows’ ft. Juicy J, ‘Non-Fiction’ is set to be the crooner’s second release to hit charts without a top 10 single to support it. A feat arguably to blame for its first week sales performance, as the project is on track to deliver his lowest numbers to date.
Find out the industry forecast below:
It may be hard to believe, but Ne-Yo has been blazing the charts for almost a decade.
During a promo trip to Big Boy In The Neighborhood this week, the ‘She Knows’ chanteur served up a potent reminder in the most unique way.
There to promote new album ‘Non-Fiction’ (due January 28th), the singer/songwriter was challenged to perform a non-stop medley of his biggest hits.
He obliged and turned in an impressive showing.
