Microwave music maven Rihanna may have passed on putting out new music last year (due to insurmountable competition), however it appears the star is looking to make quite the splash in 2014.

For, in a move few could have anticipated, film house DreamWorks have announced that the 25-year-old is piecing together a concept album based around their animated movie ‘Home’ – which will hit stores in November.

As at writing, the release will serve as the first new material from the model since 2012’s ‘Unapologetic’.

Drake‘s ‘Would You Like A Tour’ tour rolled into Paris tonight, continuing the the European leg of the hit trek.

Residents of the French capital were treated to live renditions of the Young Money maestro’s smashes – including the Rihanna assisted ‘Take Care’.

The Noise herself surprised the thousands in attendance at the Bercy by joining Drizzy to perform the cut, as well as her own strip-club anthem ‘Pour It Up’. Let’s just say the latter saw the 25-year-old sounding like she was starting a car.

All the action after the jump…

As its global sales swim near to ‘half a million mountain’ and its lead single continues to ride critically acclaimed waves, Tamar Braxton‘s “Love & War” features prominently in the latest season of the star’s hit Reality show “Braxton Family Values.”

Yes, despite taking place just last month, the star’s time at the 56th annual Grammy awards was documented for the 1 million or so viewers who tune into the show every week this month, after the aforementioned LP failed to win in any of the categories it was nominated.

How she took the news?

Co-written by Justin Timberlake, the jam was brought to life in the UK’s Birmingham LG Arena hours ago, when “Blue” belle delivered it live during her “Mrs.Carter Show”, packing a sensual heat sure to make even the likes of Rihanna blush.

As the likes of Miguel and Jhene Aiko continue to push the genre to brave and bold new heights, Mariah Carey has declared that she will never leave R&B…doing so during a recent conversation with ‘95.5WPLJ.’

Explaining her reasons for this as she detailed her thoughts on Electronic Dance Music (EDM), the “Make it Happen” maestra also explained why so many of the hits she spawned in the 90s came armed with Dance remixes, and why her new material may be on course to doing the same.

Currently housing ‘He Won’t Go’ singer Adele and formerly home to ‘Bad Girls‘ beauty MIA, ‘XL Recordings‘ once found themselves tasked with building a star out of a teenage Azealia Banks.

Alas, despite her close ties to the likes of Diplo and the talent honed and perfected at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School, she was dropped…booted from the label she had hoped would her to the heights attained by one-time schoolmate, Nicki Minaj.

Want Azealia’s take on the matter?

Peep her explanation of her short-lived run at the label with Viacom‘s MTV below!

One’s got to give it to Jason Derulo.

For, while a number (if not all) of his contemporaries have made the mistake of sullying their brands in their quests for “credibility”, the last year has seen the ‘Tattoo” artist hold on to his ‘All American’ nature and repackage himself as a cooler, fresher and a little more Urban version of himself.

Impressive, as this organic transition has come without the side order of ‘try hard’ that currently plagues Justin Bieber’s public image, and turned him into Warner’s multi-format boy next door, nabbing sizeable spins on “Power 106″ and “Capital FM” alike!

Now watch as he joins ‘Complex’ magazine for their ‘Complex Individuals’ series, dishing on his musical tastes, embarrassing moments and what he hopes to be doing should the apocalypse swing by.

Her latest EP ‘Lipstick & Pistols’ may have dropped in 2013, but Lola Monroe extends the project’s life cycle this year with the release of a brand new video shot in its aid!

Lacking the pop of colour that usually accompanies the Rapper’s videos, the clip for “Band Up” hit the world via “Worldstar Hip Hop”, taking aim at a number of her genre-mates with lyrics that may or may not ruffle a few feathers.
