Statistically, ‘Beautiful’ stands as one of Christina Aguilera‘s biggest hits.

It’s little wonder, then, why the potent vocalist has re-enlisted its writer, Linda Perry, for her upcoming eighth studio album.

Future’s dreams of becoming a force in the “mainstream” are becoming a reality.

Indeed, the Hip-Hop vocalist now stands a long away from the commercially barren ground he stood on in 2013 and now finds his street level buzz pushing him onto stages he would have struggled to book sans a bigger act before the release of his ‘Dirty Sprite 2′ offering.

For example? ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live.’

The Holiday season brings with it many a tasty feast and come December 11th, R. Kelly will be hoping the masses feast on his.

‘The Buffet’ – the R&B pioneer’s latest studio album – will be served up on said date and the Pied Piper is delivering a full plate of new music and guest appearances – including Lil Wayne, Jhene Aiko, and RCA labelmate Tinashe. 

How do we know?

Moments ago, the covers (standard + deluxe) as well as tracklists were unveiled for the set – which follows 2010’s ‘Love Letter.’

Justin Bieber‘s new album may titled ‘Purpose,’ but ‘Redemption’ feels more apt.

On the eve of its release, the set – which arrives after a tricky few years for the singer – is being tipped for blockbuster success. This, thanks largely to the winning run of lead singles ‘What Do You Mean?’ and ‘Sorry.’

Capitalizing on the public’s renewed embrace of his music the 22-year-old has officially announced the ‘Purpose Tour.’

Set to kick off in Seattle next March, the US leg of the trek (the first to be unveiled) will wrap up in May 2016 before hitting international markets.

While some stars masquerade as elusive, Beyonce has really embodied the term in recent years.

Indeed, since the roll-out of 2013’s ambush album, Queen Bey has remained mum about her next move…until it happens.

Still, it hasn’t stopped drips of new info tricking out. Case in point the snap above.

The pic came courtesy of actor Jorge Ortiz, who tweeted:

A picture of #Beyonce & I after last night’s #FeatureFilm script reading. Elegant and a class act

I’m about to enter the #BeyHive. Acting in a #FeatureFilm stage reading for the one and only in just a few seconds.

The #FeatureFilm stage reading went great tonight! We entered the #BeyHive and did her proud.

What could Mrs Carter be cooking up? Note how they are reading “for” her and (seemingly) not “with” her.

With a new album near, it’ll be fascinating to see how she plans to top her surprise roll-out…and whether the reading for the “#FeatureFilm” has anything to do with it!

Your thoughts?

Is Rihanna digging into her box of tried and tested tricks?

Per a new report, the model may be set to revive her kinky ‘S&M’ look in a bid to resuscitate her troubled ‘ANTI’ album campaign.

When one makes as much as impact in the world as Beyonce has finding fans in “unique” positions is inevitable.

However, we doubt that even she could have predicted where the latest compliment sent her way would originate from today.

Why?

While 2015 has brought with it explosive comebacks for the likes of Adele and Janet Jackson, it also saw a quiet, yet well-received return for Jazmine Sullivan.

The singer’s ‘Reality Show’ album was showered with praise from critics and fans alike, but didn’t impact the charts as perhaps hoped. A point particularly notable given the five year gap between its release and that of its predecessor – 2010’s ‘Love Me Back.’ 

Still, hoping to build on the buzz of the LP and its accompanying tour, Sullivan is gearing up to return to the studio for what she’s billed as an “intimate” LP.
