Kanye West may not be headlining Coachella as intended this year, but he brought an altogether different experience to the festival today – Sunday Service.

Mounted in the camping area of the annual extravaganza, the Weekend 2 showing was designed to mirror the gospel-themed services West had put on weeks and months leading up to the performance.

During the rousing set, he also delivered the first performance a new song named ‘Water.’

Kandi Burruss‘ ‘Speak On It’ series welcomed Tanya Sam to its chair this week to address her role on ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘, her position as the season’s fan favourite, her spat with her former pal Nene Leakes and how the veteran ‘Wives’ asked her to serve them lunch.

Fans of Leandria Johnson, Joshua Rogers, Tasha Page-Lockhart, and a host of other new school Gospel hitmakers have none other than BET’s ‘Sunday’s Best’ to thank for their respective arrivals.  An ‘American Idol’ for Gospel artists, the faith-based reality singing competition ruled the network’s airwaves during its peak as it continuously burned a spotlight on some of the nation’s most talented, yet undiscovered praise-and-worship performers.

After quietly disappearing from BET’s roster in 2015,  the series is being rebooted with an all new, all-star cast of judges.

This week served as a full circle affair for Beyonce.

It marks a year since she annihilated the Coachella stage and etched her name in yet another page of history.

To commemorate the occasion, the superstar singer teamed with Netflix to release docu-concert ‘Homecoming’ along with a companion live album – both of which arrived this week to ample praise.

With much to celebrate, Queen Bey did exactly that by throwing a Homecoming Week bash at Coachella.

Presented in partnership with Adidas and Bey’s Ivy Park (whose monumental partnership was recently announced), the event was an all-out affair; one which paid homage to HBCUs.

It’s not quite clear what, if anything, the sometimes singer, full-time fashionista is plugging. But we doubt anyone’s complaining during this music drought.
