Toni Braxton stopped by Access Daily and opened up about a multitude of topics.

Indeed, beyond dishing on her upcoming Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2024, support from Prince, and her inspiring Get Comfortable campaign, the GRAMMY winner teased a possible performance with Usher.

Chopping it up with Mario Lopez and Kit Hoover, Braxton revealed that the newly-announces Super Bowl headliner has been encouraging the icon to join him onstage to “sing something together” at his Las Vegas show.

Referring to Usher as her “baby brother,” she said “we’re gonna come together soon.”

It’s hard to believe that a decade ago, the Pop scene was introduced to one of its leading ladies.

Today’s From The Vault pick is Ariana Grande‘s breakthrough single ‘The Way,’ featuring the late Mac Miller.

While the songbird had released music before, this track is often considered her unofficial debut single. Penned by Jordin Sparks and produced by Harmony Samuels, the ‘Yours Truly’ jam became an instant hit in the US, reaching the 9th spot on the Hot 100.

‘Way’ samples Brenda Russell’s ‘A Little Bit of Love,’ which also served as the foundation for Big Pun’s ‘Still Not a Player.’ With its ’90s vibes, Ariana’s velvety vocals, and airy harmonies, it drew immediate comparisons to Mariah Carey‘s earlier work, sparking debates about Ariana’s artistic authenticity.

Notably, the song features Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller, who would later become Ariana’s boyfriend before his tragic passing in 2018.

The accompanying music video, directed by Jones Crow, featured Ariana, Mac, and a group of dancers having a blast in a room filled with balloons. While playful and carefree, it marked Ariana’s transition to a more sensuous image, shedding her Nickelodeon persona. 10 years later, the video boasts over 460 million views on YouTube.

What a difference time can make. Although she never lost her stunning chops, it’s safe to say she’s again transformed into a completely different artist than the one we see today.

Regardless, it’s been a joy to witness Ariana Grande’s rise as a Pop powerhouse within such a short time.

While new music might not be on the cards just yet (as she sets her sights on the big screen), we have no doubt she’ll continue to captivate audiences worldwide with her infectious output and glossy videos.

We’re ready!

Drake drops are often an event and the release of the superstar’s newest album ‘For All The Dogs’ is no different.

Uncaged on October 6 (two weeks after it was initially set to arrive), the hotly anticipated LP brought with it collaborations with the likes of SZA, J. Cole, and Sexyy Red.

Much like with his last effort, 2022’s 21 Savage-assisted ‘Her Loss,’ rapper Drake is not only making headlines for dropping a new album but also the perceived disses that line its content.

As October 6 brought with it his highly anticipated ‘For All the Dogs‘ project, Drizzy has found himself in the doghouse of the fan bases of a few prominent artists for eyebrow-raising lyrics – namely NBA YoungBoy and Rihanna.

For the latter, the ‘Dogs’ song ‘Fear of Heights‘ is believed to come as yet another chapter in their storied history as they’ve lifted multiple hits – ‘What’s My Name,’ ‘Work,’ Take Care,’ and ‘Too Good’ – to impressive heights on the Hot 100 over the last 15 years.

Having failed to lift their romance to similar altitude, however, lines relayed on ‘Heights’ suggest the Canadian hitmaker is still salty about not bagging the Bajan beauty.
