After seeing its lead single ‘Team’ tank and fail to crack the Billboard Hot 100’s top 40 (peaking at #42), Grammy-nominated rapstress Iggy Azalea has gone back to the drawing board for her official sophomore album ‘Digital Distortion.’

Coming as the follow-up to 2014’s ‘The New Classic,’ ‘Distorion’ has seen its campaign clouded and preceded by drama (see:  engagement woes, allegations of cultural misappropriation, more) and has had an undoubted uphill battle since its announcement.  But, as revealed on Twitter recently, the saucy Aussie is vowing to press forward with a reworked edition of the set with hopes of generating a better response from the buying public.

With just days to go before her faithful #Arianators can get their hands on her third studio album, ‘Dangerous Woman,’ pint-size powerhouse Ariana Grande lends yet another video from the set – this time for the Lil’ Wayne-assisted ‘Let Me Love You.’

Tapping famed director Grant Singer to helm the clip, the video – hosted exclusively on Apple Music – follows the visual developed for the album’s title track, ‘Dangerous Woman.’

Despite being the victor of many-a-social media battle over her short, but storied career, Azealia Banks met her match when she crossed paths with the unlikeliest of opponents:  14-year-old Disney star Skai Jackson.

Jackson, best known for her infamous “sitting” meme, politely sat and shat all over Banks via Twitter – a bout that’s now gone down in infamy for the self-proclaimed “Yung Rapunxel.”

Now, a day after the rapstress tried to rekindle the beef by labeling the young actress as a “c**n in training,” Jackson’s interview with ‘Teen Vogue’ has surfaced and gets her take on the now epic Twitter feud.

With the Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and Future-assisted tunes from Ariana Grande‘s third album, ‘Dangerous Woman,’ already shifting anticipation for the set upward , its last feature – courtesy of Macy Gray – will only send it into overdrive.

Indeed, teaming with the smoky voiced songstress for the Victoria Monet-penned number,’Leave Me Lonely,’ the duo ooze soul and sex appeal over the heartbreak anthem.  The release is the latest preview from Grande leading up to the Friday, May 20th release of her new album.

Listen to “Leave Me Lonely” below and weigh in.

Tinashe‘s sophomore album may have been titled ‘Joyride’ – yet the journey to its release has been anything but.

The follow-up to her 2014 debut ‘Aquarius’ has been teased since late last Summer. Yet, almost a year on, it’s still missing in action.

To complicate matters, the 23-year-old singer has not only revealed that she feels the album is done, she embarked on and completed an American tour in support of the project – which, of course, is still not out. Muddying the waters even more is the fact that the LP has thus far spawned several songs including ‘Player (ft. Chris Brown)’ and ‘Party Favors.’

In recent months, the rising star has maintained a silence of sorts. However, it’s becoming clear she hasn’t been relaxing. She’s been working with super-producer Timbaland.

Keen to sip on the sweet nectar of nostalgia, Puffy is reuniting all the major players from the posse for the ‘Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour.’

Speaking on the venture, mogul Puffy said:

“This isn’t just a concert– this is a moment in hip hop and R&B history. The family and I are so excited to welcome fans into this once in a lifetime experience.  This tour is 20 years in the making, and is a celebration of the hits and the Bad Boy lifestyle.

Season 3 of That Grape Juice‘s live series The Splash welcomes Nathan Sykes!

The vocal nucleus of boyband The Wanted has since broken out solo and has been steadily building buzz with cuts such as ‘Kiss Me Quick’ and the Ariana Grande assisted ‘Over And Again.’

On his TGJ debut, the rising star delivers a soaring rendition of new single ‘Give It Up,’ the studio version of which features man of the moment G-Eazy.

Flavoursome and soul-filled, the song puts a modern spin on Blackstreet classic ‘Don’t Leave’ – which, when paired with Nathan’s powerful vocals – leaves a lasting impression.

So, what are you waiting for? Watch Sykes soar above! And let us know who you’d like to see on The Splash next!

Is the latest wave of Adele mania about to be unleashed this summer? It appears so.

Following the gargantuan success of ‘Hello,’ housing album ’25’ exploded at retail and has, since its November 2015 release, sold over 17 million copies worldwide.

Seemingly content, the British bred superstar has spent much of 2016 focussed on touring the globe. So much so, that the LP’s second single ‘When We Were Young’ received a limp push and no traditional video. [It still hit top ten, but we digress…]

If any of her contemporaries were beginning to think “coast clear” then they may need to revise their strategy. Because, moments ago, the 28-year-old previewed the video for ’25’s official third single – the Max Martin moulded ‘Send My Love (To Your New Lover).’
