Check out these shots of Rihanna, via Just Jared, on the video set of yet another single – namely ‘Disturbia’. Judging by her outfits, the David LaChappelle directed vid looks like it’ll be pretty interesting; which it needs to be, as the song is the absolute pits.
Young Jeezy features in the August (All-Rap) issue of VIBE magazine. As well discussing music, his presidential vote and his family life, the rapper spoke candidly about his rumoured relationship with R&B songstress Keyshia Cole:“To be honest, it was more what she wanted. She was cool and we had a cool friendship. The media made it out to be something crazy. We kicked it. We hung out. Thing is, you can’t be cool with somebody you wanna be cool with [without the media thinking it’s a relationship]…I was grown enough to tell her, Look baby, that isn’t what it is right now.”
Ouch…

This week’s edition of The Best You Never Heard features little known cuts by Jennifer Hudson, Michael Jackson, Beyonce and Trina. Do you have any suggestions for future instalments? Drop me an email at sam@thatgrapejuice.net Jennifer Hudson – Stand Up
Some of you may remember ‘Stand Up’ from a post earlier this year, which saw Jennifer belting it out in her bathroom. Recorded back in 2006, ‘Stand Up’ was initially made available as a gift to fans via one of her fan-sites, however has since become so popular (among her fan-base) that it’s currently being considered for placement on her upcoming debut album. Indeed, the ‘big ballad’ showcases Jennifer’s powerful vocal ability to the fullest, while also engaging the listener lyrically. Great song.
Listen: Stand Up
Listen: 50/50 Love (ft. Trey Songz)

Your thoughts: Hit(s) or Miss(es)?
Hmm. I’m kinda wishing I didn’t listen to this, as, up until now, every track I’d heard from Solange’s album was a winner. However, the same can’t be said for this largely so-so track….which, for the most part, can be summed up as being kinda ‘blah’. Still, with a array solid cuts under her belt for the record, ‘Sol-Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams’ is definitely still one of the few albums I’m anticipating this year.
In other Solange news, ‘I Decided’ debuted at #44 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart this past week. The charting is her highest to date.
Hit or Miss?
She sounded great on both songs. The ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ feature on ‘We Break The Dawn’ was a nice tie-in.

Fantasia celebrated her 24th birthday this past weekend at Dreamz ATL. The American Idol winner was was joined by boyfriend Young Dro, former Xscape members Kandi and Tiny (pictured above) as well as Trey Songz.The cut is familiar territory for Michael – from both his and Akon’s vocal arrangements right down to the subject matter; which I guess makes it accessible for fans of that aspect of his music. Saying that, I’m kinda on the fence about this one. Despite the supposedly ‘new’ MJ material floating around, this is the first legitimate taste of post-‘Invincible’ MJ material and it doesn’t really deliver the ‘umph’ I would have hoped for. Still, this could be a grower.
Hit or Miss?
Both albums are definitely highly anticipated. So it’ll be interesting to see if they deliver the goods.
Whose album are you looking forward to most: Britney or Brandy?
R&B star Ne-Yo has unseated Coldplay on the Official UK Singles Chart this week with his single ‘Closer’. Having already secured the #2 position the week prior on download sales alone, the song’s charting stands as the singer’s second UK #1 – the first being 2006’s ‘So Sick’.Ms. Jigga was also in attendance to support her husband…
