R&B eccentric Solange has seemingly found as much favor in her fashions as she has in her music over recent years.  A nod to such would be the youngest Knowles’ feature in February’s ‘InStyle’ magazine.

Maybe mute on the musical tip (until her new album drops later this year), Solo has certainly been making much noise through her colorful ensembles as evidenced by her stunning threads at Milan’s fashion week recently.

In an article that also sees the songstress/DJ dishing about new niece Baby Blue, get into these snaps of Solange below:

‘Save Room’ singer John Legend is undoubtedly hoping fans will be saving room (in their collections and wallets) for the highly anticipated follow-up to his acclaimed 2008 album ‘Evolver’.  While whetting appetites with his collaborative set ‘Wake Up!’ co-starring The Roots, fans of the ‘Get Lifted’ crooner got an eyeful when he recently took to Twitter to announce:

 

Reportedly set to be included on his fourth solo LP as well as the soundtrack of the romantic comedy ‘Think Like A Man’ soundtrack ,  keep it locked to That Grape Juice for your first listen of the ‘Legend-ary’ tune.

This week, From The Vault journey’s back to the 90’s with a Pop-Culture classic, the divas showdown which saw Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue ask ‘Whatta Man’.

One of the biggest hits of  1994, as well as a highlight in both the groups’ respective careers, ‘Man’ was a Top 10 smash both in the US and the UK.

Directed by Matthew Rolston, the song’s accompanying video is gutsy and bodacious. To put it bluntly, the ladies shut it down.

Rightfully so, such brilliance was rewarded with a MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography courtesy of the Frank Gaston. (Sidenote: En Vogue still stand as the female group with the most VMA wins to this day).

With femcees popping up left and right as of late (see: Nicki Minaj, Kreyshawn, Azealia Banks), we can’t help but think now would be the aptest of times for another Hip-Hop female collective to build on what Salt-N-Pepa achieved.

As for En Vogue, we hear the Funky Divas are cooking up a new album. Yet, once again, Dawn Robinson has struck herself out of the equation (citing a wack contract). Sad, as having seen the ladies live recently, they still have “it” in abundance. Such a shame.

There are some dreams we don’t want to wake up from, and given the success of Katy Perry‘s ‘Teenage Dream’ we can certainly see why.

Since its 2010 release, the multi-Platinum set has birthed hit after hit, a trajectory the singer is hoping continues with a revised version of the album.

With the return of the original Sugababes confirmed, the group’s current stand-ins are left in quite the precarious position.

Indeed, a slew of commercial disasters (the latest of which saw their last single axed and given away for free) has left the once revered Pop outfit in tatters. A situation rendered worse by their adamance on not throwing in the towel.

And yet, ironically, that’s what they appear to be doing – covertly. First, there were the unaddressed rumours of a label drop, then member Heidi‘s revelation that no new music is on the horizon, and now it has been confirmed that Amelle is going solo.

In what has become somewhat of a live action episode of  Jem & The Holograms, the rivalry between Sugababes 1.0 and Sugababes 4 reached all new heights today.

Because, shortly after the group’s original members reunited to work on new music, it has emerged that Emeli Sande‘ has teamed up with the ladies to help their upcoming assault on their replacements and the UK charts.

Her singing voice may be one queen short of a drag ball, but we challenge anyone to criticize these newly released snaps of Pop tart Rihanna.

Peep the sneak peek below…

Enter Natalie Duncan.

Hailing from Nottingham, the Soul-filled singer presents quite the compelling package. From her hauntingly stellar vocals, to the lyrical depth she evokes as a songwriter, Ms. Duncan continually justifies her ever-growing buzz. It also doesn’t hurt that she satisfies today’s (sad, but true) demand for aesthetic brilliance from artists. In simpler terms, she’s a stunner.

Yet, for all her beauty, Duncan ensures it’s her talent which resonates most. Case, point, her chilling performance of ‘Devil In Me’ above.

Universal Music here have earmarked the budding star as “the next to blow”. Do you agree with them?

Many moons have passed since Kelly Rowland and Lance Gross cosied up on the set of the video for ‘Keep It Between Us’. Indeed, so long has it been since the French shoot, many believed it wouldn’t see the light of day – especially when paired with news of Rowland recording her new album.

Fret not, though, for the ‘Motivation‘ singer has not only confirmed the video’s release window, she has also explained the  reason for the delay.

As earlier reported, the incomparable Whitney Houston is making a return to the big-screen in ‘Sparkle’. The Voice stars alongside Pop starlet Jordin Sparks in the 00’s adaptation of the 70’s classic, which is set to hit theatres on August 10th.

Peep this newly released HQ press shot (via PEOPLE), which shows 48 year old Houston in her best visual form in years. Here’s hoping her vocals are as stunning. We’re rooting for her!
