A short preview of Beyonce’s forthcoming ‘The Beyonce Experience Tour’ DVD has surfaced. Having attended the London show back in June (click here to read my review), I feel it definitely captured the spectacle of what was one of the best live shows in a long while IMO. The DVD will be released on November 20th.

Will you be picking up ‘The Beyonce Experience’ DVD?

As reported a couple of weeks back, ‘I Still Will’ is the latest single to be lifted from 50 Cent’s ‘Curtis’ LP. The video for the track, which features R&B star Akon, premiered yesterday. Jesse Terrero (‘Wanksta’, ‘Candy Shop’) directed the clip; I can’t lie, I’m feeling this one.

What do you think of the video?

It appears yet another defunct group are jumping on the reality show bandwagon in hopes of resurrecting their careers – this time it’s B2K. Before I continue, I’m literally cracking up right now at the ‘realty show’ spelling – very professional lol. About the trailer, it was pretty interesting to see the guys back together, as well as the hinting at there still being unresolved issues with Omarion. Saying that, this kinda screams desperation to me; none of the group, aside from Omarion, have achieved any solo success. Hmmm…

Would you be checking for a B2K reunion?

Following a lengthy spell away from the music scene, new material from R&B star Usher has surfaced. Produced by Rich Harrison (‘Crazy In Love’, ‘One Thing’), ‘Dat Girl Right There’ is a welcome departure from the established sound of all those involved. The uptempo track differs from Harrison’s typical Go-Go inspired production style – in fact he’s switched things up altogether. It’s good to see Usher coming from a different angle musically this time around too.

With ‘Exclusive’ having hit stores last week, R&B star Chris Brown is hitting the promotional trail in support of the CD. The 18 year old star stopped by BET’s 106 & Park earlier last week for an interview and to perform current single ‘Kiss Kiss’ along with T-Pain. You can check out their performance below:

Another day, another Beyonce endorsement; the R&B superstar’s latest foray into the advertising market is for cable company DirecTV. Don’t get me wrong, I like her just as much as the next person, but this is bordering on overkill. What’s next? I mean, she’s already had her name slapped on almost everything saleable. I must say that the whole play on the ‘Upgrade U’ concept was pretty good, though.

Beyonce & Ads: Overkill or not?

As soulful songstress Tweet preps the release of her third studio album ‘Love, Tweet’ (her first for new label Umbrella Recordings), a 9-track sampler of the CD has surfaced. Having listened through it, the album sounds like it’s going to be solid – very vintage Tweet. ‘Love, Tweet’ is set to hit stores early 2008.
