Her role in the hit Starz series ‘Power’ has turned her into one of the country’s more recognisable actresses.

However, the entertainment industry wasn’t always as welcoming to Ms. Naturi Naughton, formerly of the Urban Pop group 3LW who was reportedly booted from the trio by management shortly after their ascent to fame.

Alas, even after her alleged firing the singer would face many a closed door when the industry that had pushed the group to superstardom turned its back on her.

They thought it was behind them.

However, thanks to footage obtained by ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ the ‘Blurred Lines’ maestros that are Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams will be forced to relive the legal fiasco that marred the song’s success.

When feigning artistry goes wrong.

Rihanna has spent all of 2015 trying to gain traction for her eighth studio album…to no avail.

A stream of mismatched singles have been released, yet public interest has all but dried up after her musical confusion became glaringly apparent to the masses.

Earlier this month, a rescue boat of sorts arrived when the LP’s title (‘ANTi’) and cover were finally decided on. However, one thing that remains is a mystery is its release date.

And, according to a new report, there’s still no definitive roll-out plan.

As if it wasn’t already clear: Adele‘s comeback campaign has hit the music industry like a meteorite. One needn’t look further than the digital domination of lead single ‘Hello’ for proof.

And with the November 20th release of its housing album ’25’ drawing nearer, folk should expect to see the Brit-bred diva everywhere.

Kicking off the inevitable media flood, the 27-year-old covers the newest issue of i-D magazine. The stunning shot was lensed by Alasdair McLellan.

In keeping it 100 (while veering somewhat off-topic), we’re still floored by how flawless ‘Hello’ is. It’s not often that actual talent is hailed in the way Adele is. From our vantage point it’s wholly deserved, as such we can’t wait to see what the rest of the undoubtedly long campaign holds.
