Adele is back and graces not one but two editions of ELLE Magazine. 

The British belter covers the US’ September issue and the UK’s October installment.

Arriving in grand style, the feature spreads come on the heels of the superstar announcing the rescheduled dates of her headline-grabbing Las Vegas residency, Weekends with Adele.

As widely reported, the concert special hit an iceberg when it was sensationally postponed just one day before its intended launch in January.

A mixed blend of disappointment, scrutiny, and intense critique whipped up ample uncertainty – not just around the residency but the singer’s ’30’ album campaign more broadly.

Now, with the drama seemingly in the rearview, Adele is opening up about weathering the storm and looking forward – both professionally and personally. The latter includes her relationship with mega sports agent Rich Paul – with who she says she’s “obsessed” and madly in love.

The chatter around ‘Church Girl’ has been anything but holy, placing the popular Beyonce ‘Renaissance’ song at the center of ongoing controversy.

Since the song’s July 29 unveiling, some critics have slammed its use of the 1981 Clark Sister classic ‘Center of Thy Will’ as the center of its sample – a feat of particular note as the subject matter of ‘Will’ is certainly not that of ‘Church.’

Because the writer of ‘Center,’ lead Clark Sister Twinkie Clark, gave use of the sample two thumbs up, she and Bey were the center of a headline-grabbing denunciation by President and CEO of the Upper Room COGIC Patrick Wooden (as we reported here).

As polarizing conversation around the topic continues, GRAMMY-nominated Gospel superstar Deitrick Haddon took to social media to defend the Pop diva.

Look inside to see his commentary which received a co-sign from Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles-Lawson.

Is Beyonce the greatest Pop star of the 21st century?  The good people at Billboard sure seem to think so.

In the wake of the multiple records broken by her seventh studio album ‘Renaissance’ and its lead single ‘Break My Soul’ (both sitting at #1 on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 respectively this week), some of the Music Bible’s staff weighed the impact of the LP critically and commercially.

Collectively, they not only assessed the 16-song set is one of her best deliveries to date but argued its addition to her already stellar discography served as proof she is the best Pop offering to come out of the millennium yet.
