Billboard’s newly crowned icon Jennifer Lopez has clocked up ample mileage during her illustrious career, but the dynamite diva shows no signs of slowing.

This year brought with it the release of her tenth album ‘A.K.A’, which didn’t necessarily set the charts on fire. It did, however, birth the bodacious hit ‘Booty (ft. Iggy Azalea)’.

In wasting no time building on the buzz of the year, the fierce 45-year-old has already returned to the studio and has enlisted a major name to help craft her follow-up LP.

Ne-Yo is back!

Before the release of Usher’s new studio album, Ne-Yo joins him in flying the flag for Dance infused R&B music with the new single ‘Coming With You‘, now available to play below!

On the cut, he revealed:

This track is dedicated to the kind of strong, confident woman who demands attention when she walks in the room. All you can think of is, ‘yeah she knows.’ She knows she is beautiful. She knows all eyes are on her. She knows how to command the room. Dr. Luke’s production is incredible and J brings his club swag to the track. No matter what the song is about, he can always take the subject matter home.

Will it be enough to generate excitement for his new album Non-Fiction?

Should info recently spilled to TGJ prove to be true, the chart-slayer that is Rita Ora is playing no games in recording sessions for her US debut, recording material set to make her the envy of many a sales-thirsty Pop star.

However, we doubt they’d be able to deliver performances half as good as Rita’s even if they were given the tracks, unable to match the level of fire she served up when she performed at the Z100 NYC Jingle Ball recently.

Ready to give it a spin?
