“Record labels stopped investing in Artist Development.”

Though the speed in which new artists come and go may give some good reason to believe the above, a new report released today points to the contrary.

Danity Kane‘s break-up remains one of the year’s messiest, muckiest, and muddiest stories.

Yet member Aubrey O’Day is pushing on — with the help of comrade Shannon Bex.

As reported, the blonde bombshells are working on a collaboration project which they’ve remained relatively mum on…until last night.

O’Day was spotted at the 2014 Hollywood Christmas Parade and was quizzed by Pacific Rim Video about the project, being assaulted by Dawn Richard, and more.

Peep the interview below…

With the Platinum Edition of Beyonce‘s visual album now in stores, the remoulded set has re-ignited buzz surrounding the game-changing project.

Originally released one year ago, the blockbuster set rocked the industry by not only arriving unannounced, but by coming packaged with a video for every song.

Two of the clips most-talked-about were the Jonas Akerlund helmed ‘Haunted’ and ‘Superpower’. 

The much-sought after director is now giving the masses a behind the scenes look at the creation of both visuals, debuting never-before-seen by way of our friends over at Revolt.

Few projects can genuinely wear the title of “one of the most anticipated albums of the year”. Yet, for Nicki Minaj’s third studio LP ‘The Pinkprint’, it’s a status that is wholly befitting.

Which other songs will join the quad of preview singles? Amazon France have drawn the curtain back on the set’s official tracklist – which can be found below…

Here at TGJ we feel it imperative to honor the originators who paved the way for our favorite artists and yours. As such, From The Vault is travelling back to the year 1981 when a certain Luther Vandross unleashed what would become a genre-defining classic. This week’s pickk is ‘Never Too Much’
The disco track was the first release from Vandross’ solo-debut of the same name. It was written and produced by the artist – as was the vast majority of its parent album. At a time where “Urban” wasn’t as accepted as it is nowadays, the single charted at a respectable #33 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was a major success on the self-explanatory and now-defunct Hot Black Singles chart where it earned the top spot. Also, the release was a Top 50 hit in the United Kingdom.
Set in a groovy New York, the cut’s accompanying music video showcases pedestrians jamming to the rhythm of the city that never sleeps while Luther can be seen in a recording studio booth wearing what can only be described as an… interesting jacket. Gotta love that 80’s fashion!
With eight Grammys, over 30 million records sold and a myriad of classics to his name, Luther Vandross through his 25+ years career has been a consistant ambassador for R&B music. Like many other deceased artists of his caliber, he is the proof that if you commit to making the most genuine and authentic art, you can live forever.
