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.

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…

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.
