The clip will receive its first play on TIDAL tomorrow (August 6th) and ahead of its arrival, Mr Raymond is giving a sneak peek of what folk can expect.

Jaden Smith‘s role on the show ‘The Get Down’ is to thank for the interview he delivered on the ‘Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.’

There, the free-thinking 18-year-old showcased his comedic side during a conversation which began on the top of vacations and ended with alien conspiracy theories.

It made for an interesting watch, especially as it aired days after his father Will Smith took to the same platform to promote his new movie ‘Suicide Squad.’

Leona Lewis lit up Good Morning America today.

The songbird, who has been cast as lead in ‘Cats’ on Broadway, soared with the production’s signature song ‘Memory.’

Lewis’ role comes at interesting junction of her career; reports surfaced last month that she had severed ties with her record label after the disappointing performance of “comeback” album ‘I Am.’

The ‘Bleeding Love’ belter replaces Nicole Scherzinger, who instead opted for a slot on the judging panel of the show Lewis won – ‘The X Factor UK.’

Can her turn as Grizabella help turn things around? Watch her mesmerizing performance below and let us know…

When an act ascends to the levels of success Mariah Carey has, anticipation greets every release. Regardless of the performance of previous projects.

Such is the case for the diva, who is currently cooking up the follow-up to 2014’s ‘Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse.’

That project tanked terribly on the charts, yet hasn’t quelled excitement for new Mimi.
