“I might give you a new track every week until this album drop,” says Nicki in the bass-driven number.

Has the hip hop hitmaker traded her radio friendly pop verses for a grittier sound?  If “Lookin *** N*gga” and this tune is any indication, it is a long-awaited “yes”.  See what we mean below:

The mishandling of Lady GaGa‘s ‘Do What U Want’ remains one of modern music’s biggest injustices.

Released last November, the cut found favor in its original form as a duet with R. Kelly. Yet, when no supporting video arrived, not even a remix with Rick Ross or a stellar duet with Christina Aguilera could reverse the song’s fortunes.

Indeed, though reaching #9 in the UK and #13 on the US Hot 100, mass consensus was that the song could easily have been a mega-hit had it not been marred by the melee within the singer’s camp (see: departed managers, messy roll-out).

Still, the DJ White Shadow number appears to be the gift that keeps giving. For, today saw a new solo version placed for sale on iTunes Spain as part of an NRJ compilation.

The latest incarnation of the ‘ARTPOP’ track features re-worked lyrics (which were performed by Aguilera on their remix).

So what are you waiting for?

During Destiny’s Child‘s ground-breaking reign, the ladies firmly established themselves as a “supergroup”.

By no means editorial rhetoric, each member brought a brand and strand of unique that, when fused together, delivered dynamite results.

Yet often under-valued is the fact that each of Destiny’s divas are also solo forces in their own right.

Of course the blockbuster success of a certain mononymously named member has cemented this in some regard, however the abilities of the trio’s remaining pillars are rarely spotlighted or celebrated.

One week before its season 6 finale, ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Kandi Burruss continues to welcome messages from fans congratulating on her recent marriage to the show’s former production manager Todd Tucker.

Unfortunately, despite the show’s last episode seeing her mother ‘Mama Joyce’ give the marriage her blessing, it would seem the wedding has done little to quell her suspicions of Tucker, whom she has billed a ‘gold digger’ throughout his time on the series.

What she told Brian Particelli of ‘Too Fab’ hours after the ceremony?
