After setting fire to the X Factor stage on Sunday night, Fleur East is gearing up to the release the video for her feverishly hot new single ‘Sax.’

#2 on iTunes and rising, the track’s performance is especially notable because the Londoner is the first act to serve as a serious contender to Adele’s ‘Hello’ – which has maintained a firm grip on the top spot since its October 23rd release.

It also serves as a major coup for East’s debut album, ‘Love, Sax and Flashbacks,’ which arrives via SyCo/Sony Music on December 4th. [Click here to read our EXCLUSIVE preview]

Now, with the ‘Sax’ visual due imminently, the track (which has already been synced with a high-profile Christmas retail campaign) looks poised to explode even more.

Roc Nation’s Rita Ora has her hands full these days, thanks to her role as a judge on The X Factor and the completion of her hotly anticipated album.

She’s also pounding the promotional trail in support of new Sigma single ‘Coming Home’ which she guests on.

The latter brought her to the Capital FM studios this week, where she playfully took on Adele‘s hit ‘Hello’ as well as Drake‘s ‘Hotline Bling’ in a game of “Instaoke.”

How did she do? Find out below… (more…)

Since the onset of Keyshia Cole‘s career, comparisons to Mary J. Blige have been a constant. Indeed, so rife has the chatter been that it birthed rumors of a rift between the R&B staples.

The climate wasn’t altogether helped when Cole said the following about “her idol” in a 2012 interview:

“I’m very happy to have been compared to such a wonderful woman, a strong woman. The only thing that I would’ve changed, that I am now here to do for those that come after me, is to lend a helping hand. I feel that even if it’s not me saying I’m gonna record with you, I’m gonna work with you or let’s go hang out or anything like that; we don’t have to be friends, but at the end of the day, being able to give advice or help somebody that is coming under you is an amazing gift to be able to have. I wish I would have had that from Mary, but I’m not Mary, I’m a different person and if K. Michelle ever call me or anybody for that matter, for advice, I would absolutely give it to them.”

Nonetheless, proving that there’s no bad blood, Keyshia and the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul caught up backstage at a concert last night.

Clearly touched by the encounter (said to be their first), Cole captioned the snap:

I have so much ❤️ and respect for her!!! #SheWasInChillMode#AfterTheshowPic #LoveHer#YouGuysHaveNoIdeaWhatThisMeantToMe

Awesome.

Your thoughts?

As reported here, ‘Set It Off’ star Vivica A. Fox set off a firestorm of controversy last night when she took to ‘Watch What Happens Live…With Andy Cohen’ and implied former boyfriend, rapper 50 Cent, was gay.  Referring to the former hit music star as a “booty snatcher,” the actress set social media alight with her comments – including retaliations from the rapper himself.

But, if you thought his responses last night were enough, you thought wrong.  50 continued his rants early into this morning and, as a result, earned a few clapbacks from Fox.  See it all below:

While 2015 has brought with it explosive comebacks for the likes of Adele and Janet Jackson, it also saw a quiet, yet well-received return for Jazmine Sullivan.

The singer’s ‘Reality Show’ album was showered with praise from critics and fans alike, but didn’t impact the charts as perhaps hoped. A point particularly notable given the five year gap between its release and that of its predecessor – 2010’s ‘Love Me Back.’ 

Still, hoping to build on the buzz of the LP and its accompanying tour, Sullivan is gearing up to return to the studio for what she’s billed as an “intimate” LP.

Mariah Carey isn’t just flexing her vocal chords these days, she’s beefing up her acting resume.

It’s been almost 15 years since the disaster / cult classic that was ‘Glitter’ and, in the time since, Mimi has largely made right the wrongs of the ill-advised flick with critically praised roles in ‘Wise Girls,”Precious,’ and ‘The Butler.’

This year, the songbird signed on to produce and star in a Holiday film and it appears like it doesn’t stop there.

According to new reports, the 45-year-old will play a role in a new Batman movie. Just not the one you might be thinking.
