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‘.

Taking a brief break from recording her third studio album, Alexandra Burke made an emotionally charged appearance on BBC’s ‘From The Heart’.

Joined by her mother Melissa Bell, the singer relayed how kidney disease (which affects Bell) has impacted their family. The tear-jerking interview was followed by a rousing performance of  ‘Can’t Give Up Now’ – a song made popular by Mary Mary. Jazz maestro Jools Holland backed Burke together with a full band.

With a thriving movie career, two Platinum albums and the benefit of being one of Rap’s leading ladies, recent weeks have seen Eve make headlines with news pertaining her forthcoming album, ‘Lip Lock’…until now.

For, during an appearance on Andy Cohen’s ‘Watch What Happens Live’, the Grammy award winning beauty made remarks on Britney Spears, which will no doubt ruffle many a Pop feather today.

Five days after releasing the video for his very own ‘Started From The Bottom’ , Drake enjoys more screen time via Lil Wayne’s scorching video for the single, ‘Love Me’. 

Joined by ‘Wake Up, Turn Up’ contributor Future, the explicit video showcases a whole new level of visual creativity for all involved, boasting a gothic theme and caged strippers.

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.

Cop a gander of Beyonce!

‘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…

Kelly Rowland is wasting no time building on the buzz from her Super Bowl and Grammy showings.

The Destiny’s Child graduate is gearing up for the release of new album ‘Talk A Good Game’ and yesterday shot the video for its lead single ‘Kisses Down Low’.

A colourful affair, the Colin Tilley directed clip will feature a cameo from the track’s producer Mike Will (pictured on the right).

With the track making major moves on Urban radio, Ms. Kelly looks to be onto another hit. And with its video imminent, she’s clearly making the right power moves to ensure the track smashes like it should.

As sophomore albums go, Alexandra Burke‘s effort ‘Heartbreak On Hold’ was criminally underrated. Released last May, the Dance heavy set was hailed by fans, yet shunned by certain media sects for reasons as puzzling now as they were then.

Hoping to appease all on bases on her next outing, the X Factor graduate has revealed that she’s slowing down the tempo and channelling a more Soulful sound for LP number three (which also dubs as her US debut).
