tweet magic thatgrapejuice music video

One listen to the latest single from Tweet‘s long-awaited official third album, ‘Charlene’ (February 26), and you’ll know her absence has seen her lose not one drop of her magic touch.

The aptly titled single, the follow-up to ‘Won’t Hurt Me,’ saw its official music video lifted to the net today – much to the pleasure of the singer’s devoted fans (affectionately christened #Tweethearts).

Dripping with her signature velvet coo, layered harmonies, and guitar tinged flavor of R&B/soul, the song has been on constant replay here at TGJ HQ.  Tuck in below and see why:

For Rihanna‘s new album ‘ANTI,’ it would appear the truth – and not TIDAL – will set it free.

Released Thursday to much chaos (see: early leak), confusion has encased the true commercial performance of the project ever since.

On the one hand, Jay Z‘s streaming claims 400,000 “bought” the LP (beyond the million free downloads it offered), while the RIAA went on to certify the project Platinum after just 24 hours.

However, with a lukewarm launch iTunes (where the album was made available to purchase a day after its TIDAL arrival) and no physical copies in stores (yet), all eyes have been on the first week predictions.

Well, wonder no more. Because, the first ‘ANTI’ sales predictions await below…

Rita Ora hit headlines last December when she sued for her release from longtime label Roc Nation.

As widely reported, the London bred star (who has 5 UK #1’s and  1 US top 5 to her name) has been signed to the Jay Z helmed imprint since 2009 – and after much ado finally looked set to release her first Stateside album early this year.

However, said plans were dashed into disarray after the filing of her suit – which argued that she was essentially self-funding her releases as the label were focussing on other ventures (see: TIDAL, Roc Nation Sports).

In the months since, little else had been divulged, with fans left speculating the status of the case after Ora was immediately removed from the roster page on the Roc site.

Today, though, things seem to have taken an ugly turn…
