In the seven years that have passed since Charlene Keys released her last studio album, her stage name Tweet has come to represent something entirely different to the mainstream music listener.

Perhaps recognising this, the Soulful songbird is making a beeline for the grown and sexy with her first body of work since 2005 – ‘Simply Tweet’.

A four-track EP, the set  (due out digitally on February 26th) serves as a re-introduction of sorts ahead of  full-length album later this year.

Judging by these freshly released previews, this is one project that will be nesting in our music collection. Find out why below…

With Valentine’s Day upon us, Cher Lloyd has gifted her fans the video for her latest US single ‘With Ur Love’.

Already a top ten hit in the UK upon its release in 2011, the ‘Sticks + Stones’ cut has been given the re-worked video treatment for its Stateside roll-out.

Done away, it seems, was the simple yet potent flair of the first visual, and in its place is a supernatural theme. Check it out below…

He may not have performed at last Sunday’s Grammy Awards, but with the release of his new video ‘Started From The Bottom‘ dropping on the same night, Drake ensured his name stayed hot on everyone’s lips as the star studded night went on.

The best part about this is though, that while the video’s launch comes as part of the push for this third studio album ‘Nothing Was The Same‘, it’s arrival has gone some way in rekindling interest in his 2011 LP, ‘Take Care‘.

With a career spanning 16 years, it’s safe to say Destiny’s Child has seen their fair share of Pop upstarts come and go all too quickly. However, more so than any of the newbies they’ve watched rise from beneath their shadows comes ‘Pon De Replay‘ belle Rihanna, signed and launched by Beyonce‘s very own husband, Jay Z in 2005.

Indeed, so fast has Rihanna’s ascent to the top been, that it’s hard to believe that she once paid tribute to the multi-platinum trio in her launch year, joining Teairra Mari and Amerie to honor them at the 2005 ‘World Music Awards‘.

After watching Britney Spears take to the single to the top of many a Pop chart, Will.I.Am enlists Diddy, Hit Boy, Lil Wayne and Waka to push his ‘Scream & Shout’ jam to similar heights on an Urban tip.

The thing about it is- that while the production on the reworked version is a certified A+, verses from from Waka and Wayne are without a doubt a little embarrassing, sullying what would have otherwise been a great remix.

Your thoughts?

‘Off To The Races’ star Lana Del Rey teams up with Jaguar to endorse their new F-Type automobile, via the brand new video for the cut- ‘Burning Desire‘.

As far as the song goes, we’d say it wins on a melodic tip but fails to wow creatively- with Lana’s subject matter going no further than the realm of hopeless romanticism. Sure, while it makes for a good listen, one would hope her forthcoming sophomore LP sees her tackle new thematic ground.

Either way, we love the video- so check it out below…
