Break-ups to make-ups are routine in R&B. And Pretty Ricky are the latest to hop-aboard the comeback train.

Many will remember the quad for their raunchy mid-00’s hits such as ‘Grind With Me’ and ‘Your Body.’

Now, they say there’s more on the way.

Bruno Mars is hitting stages across the globe in support of new single ’24k Magic’ and its like-titled album.

Skavlan in Norway was hit latest stop.

Backed by his ever-present Hooligans, Mr Mars marvelled with a spirited showing of the song – which has thus far peaked in the top 5 in countless countries including the US and UK.

Should the 30-year-old keep it up, the album – due Nov. 18th – will also be a fixture in the upper echelon of the charts.

Peep the performance after the jump…

Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature launched to celebrate TV and Film’s glorious past.

Today, we honour the creative force that is Grace Jones. In recent years, the entertainment industry has often found its creativity stifled by tight budgets and the short attention spans of a Snapchat generation.

The price it’s paid for these problems?

The demise of the multi-hyphenate star.

Gliding through music, film, fashion and television, the multi-hyphenate acts of yesteryear came armed with the talent and skill the industry would employ to rake in cash at record stores, movie theatres and runways alike.

With this in mind, the Jamaican Jones undoubtedly stands as one of the best to do it.

So, in honour of her work, we revisit some of her career highlights via the clips waiting below…

Despite having a hard-hitting history at retail, Alicia Keys‘ latest album ‘HERE’ launched softly last week.

Little Mix are marching on to the November 18th release of their fourth studio album ‘Glory Days.’

Preceded by UK #1 ‘Shout Out To My Ex,’ the LP is being tipped by some to be the project that catapults Perrie, Jesy, Jade, and Leigh-Anne to global superstardom. After all, given the gargantuan success of predecessor ‘Get Weird,’ expectations are high.

With exactly one week to go until the album impacts retail, the ladies have rolled out an official sampler previewing its tracks.

Boasting creative collaborations from the likes of Meghan Trainor and Electric, folk can listen to official snippets after the jump…

The Obamas are saying farewell in fine fashion.

America’s outgoing First Lady Michelle Obama covers the December 2016 issue of Vogue Magazine. 

The stunning shoot serves as one of the final looks the world see of the dynamic figure in her role before she vacates the White House in January.

With uncertain times ahead following Donald Trump‘s shock victory, we can at least be comforted (even if momentarily) remembering how phenomenal this woman is.

Love Sia?

‘Adore’ Miguel?

Respect Queen Latifah?

If the answer to all three of the questions above is yes you’re in luck.

Why? Waiting after the jump is their collaborative number ‘Satisfied’ which appears on the forthcoming ‘Hamilton’ mixtape.

Today marks the global release of Emeli Sande‘s long-awaited sophomore album ‘Long Live The Angels.’

Inescapable following the premiere of 2012’s ‘Our Version Of Events,’ the 28-year-old shocked many when she voluntarily traded her omnipresence for silence.

Indeed, the Scot describes 2014 onwards as a period of deep reflection; a window in which she would dissect life, love, fame, and pain. And a time during which she toyed with the idea of not “coming back” at all.

Thankfully for her legion of loyal listeners, Sande has returned to the music sphere and has done so in triumphant form.

‘Long Live The Angels’ is rich, soulful, and full bodied. It advances the qualitative, while mass appealing narrative she started with its predecessor.

In a crowded sea of releases, the LP is one that earns its place on the list of must-listens.

Check out our Top 5 Songs From ‘Long Live The Angels’ below…
