MTV’s Tim Kash managed to catch up with Janet Jackson at boyfriend Jermaine Dupri’s post-VMA party on Sunday. The ‘All For You’ singer reaffirmed that she is still in the recording process for her as yet untitled new album – her Island/Def Jam debut. She also confirmed Ne-Yo’s involvement in the project.
Janet must be back in MTV’s good books, seeing as they didn’t give a damn about her last two albums. Anyway, is it me or does it seem Janet is trying to keep ‘hush hush’ about the project (“I’m trying to do me”)? With JD’s comment about the album coming “soon”, it’ll be interesting to see how things unfold in the coming months.
Your thoughts?
Def Jam stars Fabolous and Ne-Yo stopped by the new look BET 106 & Park earlier this week to perform their hit collabo ‘Make Me Better’. Though the performance didn’t ‘wow’ me (which was expected) I thought they did pretty good; the track has grown on me a lot since first hearing it a few months back.
What do you think of their performance?
Does Janet have what it takes to be successful again?

The Swizz Beats-produced ‘Wall to Wall’ is slated to be the first single from Chris Brown’s 2nd album ‘Exclusive’. It’s a decent club track but at the same time its kinda generic- any other standard R&B artist could have dropped this one. I’m sure it’ll be a hit for him, though.

In other Rihanna news, the official tracklist for ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ has been released:
1. Umbrella f/ Jay-Z
2. Push Up
3. Don’t Stop the Music
4. Breakin’ Dishes
5. Shut Up and Drive
6. Hate That I Love You f/ Ne-Yo
7. Say It
8. Sell Me Candy
9. Rehab
10. Question Existence
11. Good Girl Gone Bad
12. Lemme Get That
It’ll be interesting to see how these end up sounding. To be honest, I’m not expecting it to be anything special; I’m not really feeling ‘Umbrella’ and ‘Hate That I Love You’ sounds too much like a mix of Irreplaceable/Sexy Love. I’m still giving her a chance though, as the production credits are pretty impressive- Timbaland, Stargate and Ne-Yo. ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ drops June 5th.

SZA may only have two albums to her credit, but in just 7 short years she’s lifted sales stats that rival some of music history’s biggest names.
With 10 Hot 100 top 10 hits and over 60 million singles sold in the United States alone, the GRAMMY-winning songstress has proven herself an undeniable force in music.
For those reasons and more, the Songwriters Hall of Fame has announced the R&B diva (born Solana Rowe) will be the recipient of one of its biggest honors at the organization’s forthcoming induction ceremony.
