R&B crooner Leigh Bush wowed the good people of NYC last week, taking his brand of thought provoking Soul to SOB's for a performance of his new single 'Free Falling'.

Fans were sent into a frenzy moments ago when pop princess Britney Spears shared the album cover artwork for her 8th studio album ‘Britney Jean’ (due December 3).

Unveiled via the stagewalker’s Twitter handle, the photo surfaces as the first single spawned from the set ‘Work B*tch’ is still working to put up a fight on the Hot 100 (peaking at #12, sitting at #28 this week).

But as the jets on that high octane number cool, its highly anticipated second single ‘Perfume’ has been cleared for launch granted a release date…probably sooner than you think.

With a resume full of career milestones (see: Stellar & Dove Award wins, Grammy nominations, having the longest running #1 single in history), you'd think there would be few “firsts” left for gospel superstar Marvin Sapp.

But, as his first holiday-themed album 'Christmas Card' (in stores now) reveals, even the most seasoned of stars still have room for new achievements.

That Grape Juice recently caught up with the “Never Would've Made It” singer to chat specifically about the new album (which features the likes of former group Commissioned, R&B singer Joe, and more), his new reality show, thoughts on the controversial 'Preachers of LA', and so much more.  As always, you don't want to miss this:

Lady GaGa serves up another taste of ‘ARTPOP’ with this freshly released snippet of ‘Venus’ – the latest “promo” single  to be lifted from the eagerly-anticipated LP.

With sales of Justin Timberlake‘s ‘The 20/20 Experience’ now hitting the 4.75 million mark, there’s no doubt his long time friend/competitor Beyonce eyes similar glory for her fifth studio album.

So, perhaps it makes sense that the icon has decided to take as much as time as she needs to perfect the release, calling on Pharrell Williams to help craft numbers for the hotly anticipated effort!

Now, in an interview that will no doubt excite the ‘Creole’ singer’s fans, Williams has spoken openly about the release…revealing that it won’t be released until she believes it’s good enough for those fans.

No stranger to controversy, Lady GaGa courts exactly that with the covers for new promotional single ‘Venus’.

The ‘ARTPOP’ cut was initially scheduled to serve as the album’s official second single – following Platinum lead effort ‘Applause’. However, as reported, was bumped to “promo” status once the R. Kelly assisted ‘Do What U Want’ became a surprise hit on iTunes globally this week.

Still, Mother Monster seems keen to whip up a buzz about the mythical track, taking to Twitter seconds ago to post three official covers. The first (and tamest) appears above.

Does it pack punch enough to create heightened buzz? Find out after the jump…
