As Ashanti readies her fourth studio LP ‘The Declaration’ for a June 3rd release, a new track from the set has surfaced. Though the mid-tempo ‘In These Streets’ is a solid cut, this is very much album-only material. Decent.Hit or Miss?

Amidst the media speculation surrounding Mariah Carey’s supposed marriage to actor/comedian Nick Cannon, the video for the singer’s new single ‘Bye Bye’ – which stars Cannon – premiered today. Having watched the clip, I’m now almost certain that the ‘wedding’ is a publicity stunt. I mean why was Nick in the video? His role served no purpose to the song’s lyrical content. The initially boring clip picked up when it began to take some kind of relevant form. I’m not particularly a fan of the song, however I can see Mariah scoring another big hit with this.

A snippet of ‘High Price’ (ft. Ludacris), the first single to be released from Ciara’s 3rd studio album ‘Fantasy Ride’ (tentatively slated for a September release) has surfaced. I’ll reserve my judgement until I hear the track in its entirety. I know that I’m definitely on the fence about the ‘voice’ she’s singing in.Hit or Miss?
Jennifer Hudson’s contribution to ‘The Sex & The City’ movie soundtrack, a cut titled ‘All Dressed Up In Love’, has surfaced. Though not what I initially expected, the funky mid-tempo is a decent effort, that seems to match the tone of the film.Hit or Miss?

Pussycat Doll front woman, Nicole Scherzinger sang the US National Anthem, ‘The Star Spangled Banner’, this past Saturday at the Oscar De La Hoya vs Steve Forbes boxing match in California. Check it out below:
She sounded good for the most part, but something about her is still distinctly underwhelming to me. When is the new Pussycat Dolls album out?
What do you think of her rendition?

Diva Mariah graces the June cover of VIBE magazine. The issue, which hits newsstands today, sees the songstress model a variety of swimwear showcasing her new slim-line physique.She looks real good; they went a lot easier on the Photoshop job than her recent promo pics have done, IMO making her look even better.

Pop superstar Madonna stopped by BET’s 106 & Park Thursday to promote her new LP ‘Hard Candy’. It’s not everyday we see Madonna on more Urban-centered shows, but obviously with the more R&B/Hip-Hop inspired sound of the record she’s covering all bases this time around. Great interview (Random tidbit: What was she wearing?).

Rihanna has teamed up with Maroon 5 for a remake of the group’s song ‘If I Never See Your Face Again’. Surprisingly, I’m really liking the cut; Rihanna rides the beat well.The track, for which a video was recently filmed in Los Angeles, is set for inclusion on the re-releases of Maroon 5’s LP ‘It Won’t Be Soon Before Long’ as well as Rihanna’s Good Girl Gone Bad ( due June 17).

The video for Lil’ Mama’s latest single ‘L.I.F.E’ made its debut today. Far removed from the uptempo, party vibe of her releases to date, the song and the video depict the daily struggles of growing up in ‘the hood’. Great song and vid. Lil’ Mama’s debut album ‘VYP: The Voice Of The Young People’ is in stores now.
