As unlikely pairings go, there’s little linking Jennifer Lopez with R&B crooner Trey Songz.

However, the duo team up for duet on ‘Finding Neverland: The Album.’ The ambitious project (which hits stores on June 9th) sees a host of stars tackle tracks from the Broadway production of the hit musical.

J.Lo and Trigga trade verses on the song ‘What You Mean To Me’ – a snippet of which has surfaced today.

Tinie Tempah is back!

The Brit-bred rapper aims to please this summer with scorching new single ‘Not Letting Go.’

‘Rather Be’ chart topper Jess Glynne joins the MC on the number, which serves as the lead release from his third studio album (due later this year).

Speaking on teaming with Jess, Tempah explained:

“I’ve been a fan of Jess since I heard her song ‘Home.’ We met properly at the BRITs last year and spoke about doing something together. We both had crazy summers and kept bumping into each other at festivals. We eventually set a date for studio with Bless Beats who produced the track and it just kind of happened. Both being Londoners, I wanted to make a song that captured that London summertime feeling which is always the best time of the year for me and the time where I’ve had my most romantic experience. So it’s an ode to a girl I met and our experiences in this amazing city we call home – London!”

Have the pair cooked up a winner? Listen below and let us know!

Brandy‘s career has been sitting on top of the world of late thanks to a number of major moves.

Indeed, the Vocal Bible has made headlines in recent months after signing on to star in the Broadway adaptation of ‘Chicago’ and for landing her own BET sitcom called ‘Zoe Moon.’

Now, it would appear a role on music drama ‘Empire’ is on the cards for the songstress (who is also working on a new album).

After teasing involvement in the Lee Daniels drama earlier this month, the singer all but confirmed her recruitment by joining the cast at the FOX Upfront presentation today.

The press event, which is held to tout the shows on the 2015-2016 schedules, is typically only attended by the talent on the programming being promoted. And per the snaps above and below, a roll-call of ‘Empire’s stars populated every pic B-Rocka featured in; stars such as Taraji P. Henson, Jussie Smollett, Jennifer Hudson, and Timbaland – who executive produces the music on the series.

Put simply, it’s highly unlikely Ms. Norwood was there for fun. Fingers crossed a formal  announcement is made soon.

Pending then, peep more pics after the jump…

Rita Ora is ready to release new music.

More than one year has passed since the campaign for the singer’s second studio album was brought to a screeching halt after ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris snatched back the songs he crafted for the LP following their break-up.

Ever the hustler, Ora has spent the time since guesting on hits such as ‘Black Widow,’ being nominated for Grammys, starring in movies, and judging on talent shows.

Now, it seems the focus is back on the hotly anticipated project (which’ll also dub as her first US release). For, RiRi has spilled on its new official lead single…
