Journey back with us to the Summer of 2012.

Fiery femcee Iggy Azalea blazed onto the scene with scorching street cut ‘Murda Bizness’.

Thereafter a slew of singles, music videos and festival slots would follow. Yet, consistently lacking was a release date for the project that tied all together – her debut album ‘The New Classic’.

Speaking in a recent interview Down Under, the Australian-bred beauty vented her frustrations about the ever-moving date, going on to reveal that the latest has been pencilled in for…March next year. Kai.

The tea awaits after the jump…

This week, well before the LP is unveiled, he has shared his thoughts on Pop Princesses Rihanna & Miley Cyrus, revealing that he has banned his children from watching their music videos.

After rocking R&B with comeback set ‘Two Eleven’ last Fall, Brandy has her eyes set on its follow-up.

During our recent Google Hangout with the Vocal Bible, she waxed honest on many a topic including her hotly anticipated new album.

Speculation ran rampant this Summer that the set was a’cooking after the singer was snapped in the studio with hitmaker Mike Will.

Ever keen to ask the questions you really want answers to, we quizzed R-Rocka about the rumors – which she confirmed as true.

Dishing to Clara Amfo, the 34-year-old also relayed her producer wish-list for the as-yet-untitled project.

Having warmed up the masses with buzz number ‘Flatline’, Brit-Pop belles Mutya Keisha Siobhan are gearing up for the next release from their eagerly awaited comeback album.

At present, the ladies (who served as the original line-up of the Sugababes) are remaining relatively tight-lipped about which track they’re set to unleash. However, they are (smartly) ensuring they keep their name and faces in the spotlight in the interim.

The trio’s latest promo stop was Reload Sessions (live on Google+), where they soared with renditions of Lorde‘s ‘Royals’ (which, dare we say, sounds more sublime than the original), Sugababes hit ‘Caught In A Moment’, and new song ‘No Regrets’.

Vocally brilliance awaits after the jump…

A smiling Rita Ora stepped out in style last night, bidding adieu to her Fashion Week fuelled fun last week to continue recording her US debut album in London.

Snapped as she left a recording studio in the city last night, the Platinum songstress was sighted just days after she was linked to a future role on Simon Cowell‘s ‘X Factor USA‘, where she has reportedly been offered a full time judging role.

While she’s yet to confirm that report, the star will be sure to drop fresh cuts from the new LP in the months to follow, cut and crafted for an international audience!

Move over ‘Preacher’s Wives’ and ‘Preachers Daughters’!  A breath of fresh air for reality TV may be coming in the form of a new source – ‘Preachers of L.A.’.

The reality venture, set to kick off Wednesday, October 9th at 10/9c, is Oxygen channel’s new reality show about the lives of six L.A. based megachurch pastors – Bishop Noel Jones, Bishop Clarence McClendon, Pastor Wayne Chaney, Bishop Ron Gibson, Pastor Jay Haizlip and Pastor/Gospel singer Deitrick Haddon. The material extravagance of athlete’s wives, confrontational drama of real housewives, and BET Sunday Night televangelist zeal all rolled up into one, the recipe for the venture has already proven itself a polarizing one even days before its premiere.

This series meets at the intersection of religion, vanity, and good TV to boot – a mixture disconcerting for many of the religious sect. Walking the fine line of dangerously realizing suspicions and stereotypes of the lavish lives of megachurch pastors who drive Bentleys for Jesus and travel in entourages, the show definitely succeeds in entertainment value and being a catalyst for conversation.

It’s hard not to appreciate the “in-your-face” brand of honesty that the show delivers oh-so-well.  But, once the masses get a taste of what the sextet are offering a debate will surely arise about its intentions.  Is there a thinly veiled facade of exposing people to Christianity and spreading the gospel?  Or are we capitalizing on an opportunistic desire to expand brands into the realm of celebrity?
