Music, motherhood, marriage. Beyonce quite literally does it all.

In recent times, the superstar stage blazer has opened up her world to the masses – sharing shots from her life  via Instagram.

The latest batch were posted today, and show King B with her 2-year-old daughter Blue Ivy on the set of a new photoshoot. Also included in the “update” are snaps of the singer sporting items branded in the font of her blockbuster visual album.

Whoa!

In an age where so many R&B belles fail to shoot and release album artwork striking enough to attract passing trade, Ashanti gets it righter than right this time around…doing so for her new LP ‘Braveheart.’

For, perhaps in realising that it takes far more than an album’s material to turn a doubting shopper into a willing customer, the ‘Happy’ vocalist takes the breath right out of our lungs with a brand new cover shot in support of the aforementioned project, still set for an independent release later on this year.

So, with the masterpiece above in mind, we ask…

Has an album’s artwork ever prompted you to pick it up?

If so, why?

Let us know below!

1) Toni Braxton & Babyface – Sweat

2) Christina Aguilera – WooHoo (ft. Nicki Minaj)

3) Usher – Euphoria

4) Trina – Don’t Trip (ft. Lil Wayne)

5) Beyonce – Drunk In Love

Jason Derulo may be dancing his way up the US charts with the 2 Chainz collaboration ‘Talk Dirty’, yet the singer is wasting no time lighting a match under its follow-up ‘Stupid Love’.

The 24-year-old unwrapped the video for the track, which serves as the latest to be lifted from his ‘Tattoos’ project, today.

After a lengthy break on the bench, ‘TGJ Replay’ is back!

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ segments, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest retrospective quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.  With the ten year mark swiftly approaching since its release, today’s ‘Replay’ goes back to ‘Afrodisiac’ – R&B beauty Brandy‘s 4th studio album:

The ladies of SWV are enjoying a renewed turn in the spotlight thanks to the success of their aptly titled WE tv series ‘SWV: Reunited’.

However, as is unravelling on the show and their interviews to promote it, the trio’s years away from music weren’t all filled smiles and laughter. Neither, so it seems, was the tail end of their initial run.

During a recent visit to the Bethenny show, Coko, Taj, and LeLee revealed that the fall out from their disbanding saw them depressed, finance starved, and emotionally lost.

In a testament to their global pull, Little Mix‘s new album ‘Salute’ marched its way to the top of iTunes US — hours before they’d given their first Stateside performance in support of it.

Preceded by single ‘Move, the LP (which is the group’s second) arrived on American shores today following top 5 success in the UK – where it was released last November.

Hitting the stage on Good Morning America moments ago, the ladies justified their buzz with an action-packed showing.

R&B’s fairy godmother.

Is the above an apt moniker for ‘Love & Hip Hop’ creator Mona Scott-Young? We’d say so, especially now that her ever-rising empire has revived the career of another Urban belle this year.

For, after serving as the vehicle used by K.Michelle to reach the top of her game, the New York version of Mona’s hit franchise has handed cast mate Amina Buddafly a second chance at superstardom!
