As reported, Iggy Azalea is heading out on the road for her first arena tour, The Great Escape.

The ‘Fancy’ femcee will be looking to capitalize on the buzz built from the Summer smash and its follow ups ‘Black Widow’ and ‘Beg For It’, especially with the recent re-release of her debut album (now rechristened ‘Reclassified’).

Joining the Aussie-bred beauty on the Stateside trek is ‘Jealous’ crooner Nick Jonas, who will be jostling to plug his self-titled debut when the tour sets sail in April.

Continuing on her in bid to be taken seriously as a “hip and happening” bad girl is Disney star Zendaya, the entertainer originally tapped to portray the late ‘Aaliyah’ in her ‘Lifetime‘ biopic.

Alas, while fellow children’s TV star Ariana Grande built her “cool” on stellar material and faultless vocals with relative ease, Ms. Coleman is still yet to find relevant footing on ground outside of Disney‘s front door.

The answer to her branding problem? Good music.

What she decided to do to score a few cool points?

A sorry scene below…

After getting off to a shaky start performance wise, the Urban Pop force that is Tinashe continues to give her competition good reason a run for their money this year with a set some might agree is one of her best to date.

That’s right…best to date. Where it happened? Power 106‘s ‘Cali Christmas’, the event which saw a number of Hip Hop and R&B’s brightest stars arrive to rock music lovers with their material in celebration of Christmas.

However, few could say they rocked the stage quite as hard as Tinashe, who now moves more naturally than she did earlier this year.

Why it won’t be long before she’s billed the “new Beyonce.”

Performance perfection below…

The Soul Train Awards 2014 aired moments ago.

Like previous years, this instalment of the annual extravaganza paid homage to the achievements of the industry’s R&B and Hip-Hop stars.

Hosted by media mogul Wendy Williams, the event (which was shot earlier this month in Las Vegas Nevada) saw performances from the likes of Chris Brown, Tinashe, and Jodeci. The show also staged the much-talked about ‘Ladies Night’ reunion featuring Lil Kim, Missy  Elliott, and Da Brat.

All the action after the jump…

Cop a gander of Rita Ora and Tinashe!

The rising stars, who many have pegged two of tomorrow’s biggest names, were snapped posing together in Abu Dhabi earlier this week.

Both ladies were in town for a private event before heading back to the US and UK respectively.

A collabo would be awesome, right? Even if not a duet. Tinashe has proven herself a sound songwriter, hence would be a great addition to the roster of names assembled to concoct hits for Ora’s new LP.

Your thoughts?

Check out Tinashe!

The rising R&B star, whose single ‘2 On’, was a smash this Summer, styles and profiles in the latest issue of VICE magazine, posing it up in shoot that tributes “British Adolescence”.

Fans of the singer can catch her on the ‘Aquarius Tour’ next year; the international trek will see the 21-year-old hit many major cities across the US and Europe.

Its follow-up single ‘Pretend‘ may have struggled to snap, crackle and pop just as hard, but it would seem there’s no stopping the force that is Tinashe‘s ‘2 On.‘

So, as to ensure her new album ‘Aquarius‘ continues to stay fresh on many a music lover’s mind, the ever-improving performer made her way to ‘Shazam’ to perform the cut live recently!

How she fared? Pretty perfectly, moving far more naturally than she did before and arming herself with new runs, a moment-serving wind machine and a charisma that’s made her arrival the source of many an R&B starlet’s anxiety.

Watch her in action below…

Tinashe is taking her talent on the road.

As earlier reported, the ‘2 On’ belter, who has been gaining rave reviews for her guest stint on Nick Jonas’ ‘Jealous’, is heading to Europe next year in support of her debut album ‘Aquarius’.

However, her Stateside fans need not worry.

Because today the 21-year-old announced the US leg of the trek, which has now been christened the ‘Aquarius Tour’.

Set to kick off next month, the dates for the jaunt await after the jump (along with preview of what she’ll be serving up)

Since the Summer, Nick Jonas has been pushing a sizzling promo campaign designed to rebrand him as a solo star.

Indeed, the former Jonas Brothers member has styled and profiled in a number of racy shoots which haven’t just sent pulses racing, but also helped his current single ‘Jealous’ rocket its way up the charts.

The real test, though, comes this week now that the 22-year-old’s self-titled debut album is finally in stores.

How are its sales shaping up? Find out below…
