Our UK readers will remember Nadine Coyle as the lead singer of  Girls Aloud. With the future of the group, one of the UK’s most successful, currently in doubt (see: Cheryl Cole’s solo success, rumours of internal bitchery), all eyes are no doubt on what Coyle will be serving up with her solo debut.

The wait appears to be almost over, though, as a snippet of her LP’s lead single ‘Insatiable’ surfaced a few moments ago. Take a listen below…

Mary J. Blige appears to be switching things up with her forthcoming LP. The songstress, who is renown for her stirring R&B ballads and mid-tempos, instead dabbles in Reggae on ‘Anything You Want’ – a Jerry Wonder cut slated to feature on the as-yet-untitled album.

For quite some time there has been speculation that Ciara and Keri Hilson have been involved in a bitter feud. However, earlier today Ciara showed her fellow Atlanta native some indirect support. The ‘Ride’ performer was referring to a recent ‘X-Factor’ audition by Cher who performed Hilson’s ‘Turn My Swag On’. Check out what she had to say below:

Many people may not remember but before Destiny’s Child became a trio they were a group of four: Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin. Here is a rare clip of the girls talking to MTV Base about their then drama and how Franklin became a member of the group. Be sure to pay particular attention to Beyonce’s facial expressions during the discussions. Classic.

Peep Pop star Kelly Rowland sporting a new do’ over the weekend, while recording with hitmaker Jermaine Dupri. The 29 year old, who is hard at work on her third studio album, appears to have remixed her earlier short hair style for a recent photo-shoot.

Keyshia Cole’s ‘I Should Have Cheated’ is the From The Vault pick this week. The Daron Jones-produced track was the 3rd single to be lifted from her 2005 debut album, ‘The Way It Is’, and became her 1st top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 10o, peaking at #30. ‘I Should Have Cheated’ was also Cole’s 1st top 10 hit on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, a trend that was continued by all 9 of the songs released by the singer since that time.

This record has to be one of the biggest R&B breakup anthems of the last 10 years. It captures that emotion that people experience when they come to the end of a tumultuous relationship and displays the potential of Cole to become a major force in R&B music once she puts forward the right material. Deep.
