‘Somebody call the doctor…’

They wished, hoped and prayed it and today…they received it.

That’s right, almost a year after a first hearing a snippet from the number, today saw Ciara announced ‘Overdose‘ as the third single to be pulled from her R&B #1 album ‘Ciara‘.

Releasing its artwork to Just Jared.Com, the Grammy winning chart sensation strikes a provocative pose with an unidentified male on the cover, sure to raise many an eyebrow and erect a fresh buzz around the Pop single- penned by  Ali Tamposi, Livvi Franc and Cici herself!

From underdog to market leader.

Lacks a ring to it? Maybe- but it’d be an accurate way to describe J.Cole’s current positioning, washing his hands of his underdog status this year with the release of his #1 album ‘Born Sinner’ and becoming the standard many a Hip Hop act now has to live up to…at least on a commercial front.

Now, watch him use his rising star for good with the release of his new video for the single ‘Crooked Smile’.

For fans of ‘Cosmic Journey’ darling Solange, ‘Lovers In The Parking Lot‘ is one of the many songs from the star all would agree deserves a music video just as stunning as the song itself.

Well, it seems wishes really do come true, for today saw that happen with the release of the cut’s Peter J. Brant directed clip, now waiting on you below.

What the pair cooked up for her ever loyal supporters?

He’s the Hip Hop sensation on course to take his scene by storm with his budding smash ‘I Luv This’.

His name? August Alsina– currently housed at Island Def Jam alongside ‘Nostalgia’ creator Frank Ocean and R&B’s fastest rising star Elijah Blake.

Standing as one of the many acts everyone here at TGJ HQ is excited about, August is fast becoming a staple name on the YouTube cover scene, with thousands of budding stars taking to the outlet to perform their renditions of the song.

So, you can imagine our joyful surprise when we came across a cover of the song which- in all honesty- sounds much better than the original! A cover, recorded by an act named Candice Nicole who we fell in love with yesterday and wanted to introduce you today.

Meet her below!

Hours after celebrating her latest River Island outing with supermodel Cara Delevingne, Instagram Royal Rihanna made her way to China’s Macau to rock her Asian ‘Navy’ with her ‘Diamonds World Tour’.

Unfortunately, the star’s ‘phoned in’ performance style reared its head during the showing, resulting in what can only be described as a hit driven bore fest- lacking the fire and charisma music lovers can expect to find at Ciara‘s forthcoming stage tour.

Got two minutes to waste?

With the likes of Rihanna unable to soar without the benefit of a ‘competition free’ arena, Beyonce readies the launch of an album set to dominate the scene in ways ‘Unapologetic’ failed to.

Armed with a record breaking world tour and two years worth of fresh material, the star’s fifth studio album will no doubt feature the fan favourite ‘Grown Woman’, which she brought to life for fans in Sao Paulo- during her ‘Mrs.Carter Show‘ set.

Not sure she’s hailed the best performer of our generation?

With streaming data now counting towards Billboard Hot 100 chart positions, there’s never been a better time for acts to forge music videos that pull in viewers over and over…and over again.

Take Miley Cyrus for example, who’s on course to securing her first US #1 single thanks to the 20 million+ streams afforded to her controversial ‘Wrecking Ball’ visual.

Now, in what will ensure he scores a commendable chart debut with his single ‘Honest‘, Hip Hop’s Future has the video for the single pull impressive numbers, in an impressive space of time.

 As ‘Body Party’ eyes its 21st week consecutive week on the Billboard Hot 100, Ciara whips up a buzz for future endeavours this week- teasing her forthcoming tour in an interview with Radio.Com!

They came, they saw, and they certainly conquered.

Just ask any fan in attendance at this past weekend’s ‘Rock In Rio’ and they would tell you with certainty that two of R&B’s finest – Justin Timberlake and Alicia Keys – came armed with an arsenal of their biggest hits and, to fan delight, rocked the Brazilian city with two amazing sets.

Joining the like of their ‘Until the End of Time’ and ‘Put It In A Love Song’ co-star Beyonce (whose set can be seen here), Timberlake and Keys offered over 60 minutes of non-stop, energetic entertainment respectively and lent reworked versions of their signature hits.

Just in case you missed it, you can see them both below:

Envious of ‘Va Va Voom’ vixen Nicki Minaj‘s style?

Well, now – thanks to K-Mart – you can affordably put that envy to rest.  Indeed, the ‘Moment 4 Life’ maestra took to Twitter today to unveil sneak peeks at the line-up of the department store collection that bears her name.

Due to make its official debut on racks in October, cop a gander at Minaj’s foray into fashion just in time for Halloween via the shots below:
