Meet BANKS…the freshest face in R&B!

Hailing from the city of angels and boasting a sound that has the likes of Ellie Goulding billing her one of 2014’s more promising breakout acts, last year saw her join The Weeknd on his headlining Fall 2013 stage tour, in support of her September 10th release ‘London‘.

This week, the ‘Brain‘ belle took to BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge to deliver a performance set to see her win over R&B lovers far and wide, taking on Aaliyah‘s 1998 classic ‘Are You That Somebody.’

To say Lady GaGa‘s ‘ARTPOP’ project has been disorganised would be the grossest of understatements. Indeed, beyond so-so sales, public disfavour, and managerial departures, the LP has only spawned one video – the clip for last Summer’s ‘Applause’.

That all changes Saturday, though. For, as reported, the singer is set to uncage the visual for the project’s latest single.

Up until now, details as to which track is receiving the video treatment were unknown. However, it has been confirmed moments ago that the song in question is…. ‘G.U.Y’.

Find out when and where the track will debut after the jump…

Here’s hoping the track is as stunning as the cover!

Keyshia Cole is renown for saying it as she feels it and the singer did not hold back during a promo stop at ‘The Breakfast Club’ today.

Much to the dismay of the UK’s R&B loyalists, the last decade has failed to deliver a US entertainer from the genre to rock their market in ways done by the likes of Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Chris Brown– and at one point- Ciara.

Set to change once Miguel sets his sights on international acclaim with his forthcoming LP, this week saw Sevyn Streeter fly her genre’s flag on British soil,  doing so with her Chris Brown-backed number, ‘It Won’t Stop.’

Full story after the jump!

With April 25th marking the launch of Nicki Minaj‘s big-screen debut in ‘The Other Woman‘, it’s safe to say 2014’s first quarter has been all flavours of fruitful for the ‘5 Star Chick.’

Fortunately, as if the positive responses garnered by the flick’s trailers weren’t enough to see her strike up a smile, this week has seen her extend her triple-threat status with a winning streak on radio.

The waiting game is almost over for Danity Kane fans. Or so it seems.

Supporters of the show-stopping stunners have been patiently anticipating the group’s next move following their headline-grabbing reunion announcement last August.

And while a few “we’re back” shows have been staged, little has been revealed about what the ladies are up to.
