Cop a gander at Disney export Miley Cyrus, rocking the cover of Billboard Magazine‘s June 2013 issue.

Sporting a swimsuit and a number of well placed tattoos, the performer hits the publication to promote what many are billing a new and improved sound- described as a mix of Adele, Juicy J and Dolly Parton in the informative spread.

So, before you get your hands on it, what do you think of the cover?

All roads lead to the July 9th release of Ciara‘s self-titled album.

The stage blazer has mounted an International promo push for the project, which last night brought her to London’s IndigO2. Billed as Musicalize presents Ciara, the sell-out show saw the singer perform a multitude of hits, as well as new cuts from the hotly anticipated LP.

Watch below as she rocks out to Urban smash ‘Body Party’ and its predecessor ‘Sorry’…

When Kelly Rowland‘s jaw-dropping single ‘Dirty Laundry’ premiered last month, many drew comparisons to R. Kelly‘s iconic brand of confessionals (see: ‘Down Low Double Life’, ‘Trapped In The Closet’). So who better than the Pied Piper himself to call on for the official “Part 2” remix of  the cut?

Featuring all new lyrics from Ms. Kelly and – of course – R. Kelly, the ‘Dirty Laundry’ “sequel” awaits after the jump…

Ariana Grande is onto a smash with debut effort ‘The Way’. Yet, in smartly not resting on her laurels, the former Nickelodeon star is continuing to push the Urban-Pop cut, with her most recent stop being Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.

This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star moves in from Memphis trio Alayna, Stephani, and B.Dot. Watch as the US natives cover ‘Q.U.E.E.N.’ – the latest Erykah Badu-assisted hit from the uber-talented/eccentric performer Janelle Monae:

Did they do that or what?

Indeed, to take on and do justice to a track with the “divatude” of diva duo Monae and Badu, skill and confidence are just the beginning of qualities one must possess.  Multiplied by three, Alayna, Stephani, and B. Dot delivered that and then some.

The jazzy undertones of each lady’s solo style was only complemented by their joint harmonic offerings.  Never doing too much to overshadow one another, each songstress brought her own brand of vocal prowess to the mix – weaving together a noteworthy performance!

We give it two thumbs up! Do you?
