Brandy‘s promotional push for her oven-hot new single ‘Put It Down’ is finally underway.

The R&B diva sported her trademark braids as she shot the clip for the Chris Brown assisted cut in Burbank, California today.

Creatively helmed by Frank Gatson (Beyonce, EnVogue, Destiny’s Child), the clip is believed to be a “performance” heavy affair. Bring it on!

The cut, which is taking all the way off at radio, is also shaping up to be an iTunes hit – after being released digitally this week. Hence, so as to give the anthemic cut a push, the the 32 year old paid a visit to Z100 to talk music, motherhood, and more.

“I love it, I love it, I love it when you…”

Hit the right note?

Well if you were expecting the above from ‘Styled To Rock’ star Rihanna you’ll be waiting a long time.

For, on Sunday night the Pop sensation did what she did best at the 2012 Wireless Fest by way of under performing her  ever celebrated material.

Material, despite being Pop of the highest quality, is oft unbearable when burdened with Fenty‘s pancake flat singing voice.

Not sure what we mean?

Frank Ocean‘s show-stopping performance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon moments ago lived up to its must-see billing. For, while his talent – as expected – showed up and showed out, the performance was garnished with an added coat of brilliance in that it was chosen as “the” one to launch its housing album ‘Channel Orange’.

The rare and surprising move, actioned by label Def Jam, saw the release of the eagerly anticipated set  brought forward by seven days (hitting iTunes at the strike of 12.00am) to coincide with the performance. It’s a move no doubt set in motion to capitalize on Ocean’s sexuality-bearing  letter – which remains a headline grabber a week after it rocked the industry.

Hence, in staying true to his reclusive “music does the talking” M-O, Ocean didn’t sit down with Fallon, instead he made folk sit up with a haunting showcase of ‘Bad Religion’.
