Fifth Harmony are aiming to blaze with their third studio album and have carved out an edgier new image to assist that cause.
The ladies, who became a four-piece after separating from Camila Cabello last December, will uncage their self-titled set on August 25th and are whetting appetites with new promotional snaps.

Brandy‘s career may have stalled and been stifled by poorly executed moves in recent years, but that’s done all of nothing to shake her status as one of Pop’s greatest success stories.
Leading the way for the likes of then-teenagers Beyonce and Britney Spears in the 90s, the vocalist’s unmatched success on stage and screen during the period saw her harvest a fan base which has unknowingly turned her into a streaming magnet as her ability to pick up pure sales falters.
Although Mariah Carey‘s current predicament is anything but glorious, the singer remains one of the most remarkable artists of all-time. A status she achieved by way of big hits, as well as lesser known numbers too.
The diva’s doomed single ‘Crybaby’ is this week’s From The Vault pick.
After much debate with her label (which was, at the time, still run by her newly ex-husband), the track was released as a double-A-side single, alongside ‘Can’t Take That Away (Mariah’s Theme).’ Both songs were included on Carey’s seventh studio album ‘Rainbow.’
‘Crybaby’ featured King of G-Funk Snoop Dogg and was built around a sample of Guy’s ‘Piece Of My Love.’ It was penned and produced by the singer alongside Damizza.
The single is renown for being Mariah’s first ever to miss the Top 20 after it peaked at #28 on the Hot 100; thanks largely to issues with her label.
Its visual took a literal approach to the song’s lyrics and depicts Mimi unable to sleep at 5 AM. Snoop makes an appearance in a via a video monitor. Sanaa Hamri assumed directorial duties, a role she also took for for the visualization of sister-single ‘Can’t Take That Away.’

Echoing earlier sentiments, we truly love us some Mariah Carey and we wish for nothing more than for her getting back to this level of brilliance. Even if chart glory – which we think she IS still capable of – isn’t in the cards for her next project, can we get a plate of slay as far as quality and cohesion goes. MC is too much of a force to only be relevant for being a revolving Instagram meme.

The…umm…”actor,” whose greatest hits/IMDB filmography titles include the stirring numbers ‘Bang It Out,’ ‘Bareback Gut F***ers,’ ‘Breeding Marcus Isaacs,’ and ‘Raw Assault’ was the victim of verbal assault himself over the weekend after the Beyhive locked their sights on him.
With no social media handle of his safe (thanks to a swarm of bee emojis and some choice words), the porn provocateur thought to tease the Hive with even more insults. Tuck in below to see what started the hoopla if you missed any of it:
It’s been a rocky road for Kesha, but it appears there really is a pot of gold at the end of her ‘Rainbow.’
The singer had been locked in litigation for years with one of music’s most notable producers. And given the nature of her accusations (see: sexual misconduct) and the stakes involved, her career ground to an abrupt halt. A state it remained in for several years.
With the worst seemingly behind her (despite crushing blows in the courtroom), she this week released her third album – a record that is now poised to top the Billboard 200.

And today is no different.
Last night, white supremacists took to marching in Charlottesville, Virginia and spewed race hate speech and promoted Nazi ideals. Their goal? To force Virginia to break away as a lone state.
Mainly comprised of men in their 20s and 30s, marchers were heard chanting “white lives matter!”, “you will not replace us!”, and “Jews will not replace us!”
Irked by the madness, the ‘What About Us’ singer took to social media and had the following to say…
