Check out this pic of ‘Pour It Up’ singer Rihanna, on location for what some fans are billing a mystery photoshoot.
Almost topless, and hours away from hearing news of Chris Brown‘s alleged brawl with Frank Ocean, the Pop star sported her now trademark pixie cut in the pic, which was uploaded to her personal ‘BadGalRiri’ Instagram account.
Her sighting comes weeks before the launch of her ‘Diamonds World Tour’– which kicks off in Buffalo, March 8th. Set to keep her on the road until July 28th, the tour comes in aid of her #1 album, ‘Unapologetic’, which boasts offerings from NO ID, Sia and ‘XOX’ singer Elijah Blake.
Her debut album has moved over 2.5 million copies worldwide, and if these pics of Jessie J are anything to go by- she is hard at work to ensure its follow up fares just as well.
Snapped perfecting its cuts in a studio hours ago, the ‘Mama Knows Best’ singer is set to launch album #2 later on this year, and was just joined by Brit MC’s Tinie Tempah and Fazer during what appears to be a fun filled session.
The year may have just begun, but Michelle Williams is making sure she’s hitting the ground sprinting.
Musical FELA is of the many ways she’s doing that, after snagging the role of Sandra Isadore in the US tour of the Broadway hit.
Our Patrick caught up with the vocal powerhouse at rehearsals for the show, chatting it up with her about her role and her upcoming Gospel album (which she shares a number of track titles from). The 32 year old also addresses the mounting speculation that Destiny’s Child are set to perform during Beyonce‘s Super Bowl showcase next Sunday.
Fans of R&B bad boy Chris Brown are very familiar with his verbal showdown with ‘Pyramids’ performer Frank Ocean some time ago. While most thought that beef had cooled, it now appears the two hitmakers have taken their hits from the charts to each other.
Indeed, as reported via a number of sources, the two were engaged in a physical altercation earlier tonight. Details below:
R&B veteran Brian Mcknight may not have had the best year in 2012, but if his stunning performance at the 2013 NFL Pro Bowl is anything to go by, his 2013 is set to be much better.
Indeed, in a time where recent performances of the historic number have been landing atop many-a-headline, the ‘How Your P*ssy Works’ hitmaker worked over the crowd of anxious football fans in Honolulu with a soaring performance of the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ – bringing to light his oft-praised vocal stylings.
While we anxiously await the forthcoming ‘Super Bowl’ rendition from Miss Alicia Keys, we know that if her showing comes close to this one, we’re in for a treat:
Brandy showed up and showed out in Atlanta hours ago, when she hit Honda’s ‘Battle Of The Bands’ for a performance we can’t get enough of.
Hitting the event with the ever genius Bangladesh, the ‘Wish Your Love Away‘ singer wowed an audience of 40,000 with live servings of ‘Put It Down,’ ‘Wildest Dreams‘ and the classic, ‘Full Moon‘.
With a career that’s been enjoyed just as many highs as its lows, it’s safe to say Britney Spears stands one of Pop’s most enduring entities.
Only right then, as she celebrates the global success of her Will.I.Am forged hit ‘Scream & Shout‘, that she shows gratitude to her die hard fans…and if these pics are anything to go by, the Lord.
That’s right, today saw the ‘Stronger’ star arrive at a Californian Church with a close friend- reportedly on her way in to join the congregation in catching the day’s service.
“My mind is telling me no… but my body’s telling me yes”
This week’s From The Vault comes courtesy of the King of R&B himself, R.Kelly and his 1994 classic ‘Bump ‘n’ Grind’.
Released as the second single from the crooner’s solo debut and R&B landmark ’12 Play’, it was produced, written and arranged by the musical genius that is Kelly himself. As it is the case with the great majority of its housing LP, ‘Grind’ deals with Robert’s favorite subject: sex!
The mother of all slow jams, this song is iconic for so many reasons – namely its acapella intro (album mix), unabashed lyrics as well as its suggestive choreography.
Released when R&B actually charted on major tally’s, the jam proved to be a hit for Kellz and claimed the ever-so-coveted #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as spending an impressive 12 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hip-Hop/R&B count. It was also a smash in the UK where it peaked inside the Top 10. It remains a staple of American urban radio with numerous stations still playing it in all its over-4-minutes glory.
The track’s live-performance themed visual, directed by Kim Watson, saw Robert (armed with two female dancers) showcase his best “bedroom moves” to an audience of screaming fans. (Side note: Where have the “live-performance” music videos in the vein of this one, TLC’s ‘Diggin On You’ or Janet’s ‘Black Cat’ gone?)
****************
R.Kelly is undeniably the master when it comes to sensual jams, yet what set him apart from his past rivals as well as the new crop of R&B crooners is his ability to tap into other themes and being excellent at it too. The Pied-Pipper is a man of many tricks.
With the next installment of his ‘Trapped In The Closet’ as well as his new LP ‘Black Panties’ set to drop this year, the year 2013 looks like a busy on for R., and we definitely “see nothing wrong” with that!
With exactly one week to go before Beyonce‘s blazes the stage at the Super Bowl, the singer and her troop of dancers are in intense rehearsals for what is being touted as her most epic performance yet.
Taking a brief break, Pepsi-Bey posed it up on Instagram in a B-sidebywale jumper which asks “can I live?”
A stylised “talk to the hand” to her critics? Who knows. What is certain, though, is that King B poised to show why she occupies the thrown next week. And we, quite literally, can’t wait!
Cop a gander at our girl Rihanna out in NYC last night.
Arriving at the city’s ‘My Studio‘ club, the ‘Styled To Rock’ gem served a cool and casual look just weeks before she kicks off her ‘Diamonds World Tour’ to help push sales of her latest album, ‘Unapologetic‘.
Her trip to the club came nights after she hit ‘Eden’ club in a see through dress, where she exchanged playful digs with members of the paparazzi as she left with her best friend, Melissa.
Alicia Keys continues to blaze many an international stage in support of her latest LP ‘Girl On Fire’.
Serving as apt preparation for her upcoming ‘Set The World On Fire’ world tour, 31 year old’s latest stop was The Jonathan Ross Show here in London town where she performed newest single ‘Brand New Me’.
