With Urban music struggles to find credible footing in the UK today,  it may be hard for some to believe that an R&B quartet once stood at the forefront of the nation’s Pop scene, alongside the force that was the Spice Girls.

Eternal….the four piece band that rocked to the top of the British charts with 1 Quadruple Platinum album, and a run that saw each and every one of the singles peak no lower than Top 20- a feat, that’s all too telling of their undisputed run at the top.

Can you taste the anticipation? We can!

Lady GaGa‘s ‘ARTPOP’ has fans and critics salivating in equal measure — and with good reason too. Billed as more of a movement than a traditional album, the project is unique in that so much, yet so little is known about it.

Continuing to whet appetites, Mother Monster unveiled a fresh promotional shot for the set (due November 11th) moments ago.

Again, we’re not yet sure what we’re supposed to be looking at nor how it relates to ‘ARTPOP’ visually. However, it’s safe to say we’ll acquire an answer of sorts when the song and video for its lead single ‘Applause’ arrives on August 19th.
