Despite serving as an omnipresent voice on R&B radio over the last two years, Giveon‘s first full-length album, ‘Give or Take,’ finally arrived this week.

Preceded by singles ‘For Tonight’ and ‘Lie Again,’ the LP sees the R&B baritone aim to make a renewed mark following the multi-Platinum success of breakout hit ‘Heartbreak Anniversary’ and the critical acclaim accrued by EP’s ‘Take Time’ and ‘When It’s All Said and Done.’

Uniquely, both of those projects were eventually combined to form the GRAMMY-nominated compilation album ‘When It’s All Said and Done…Take Time.’

With his debut album in the marketplace, how are the first week numbers shaping up for the ‘Peaches’ performer?

Chris Brown is dancing his way across the promotional circuit for his newly released album, ‘Breezy.’

And his latest stop was Drink Champs with Norega. 

As is to be expected from the popular show, the conversational discourse was wide-ranging and saw Brown dish on his new project, longevity in the music industry, and comparisons to his idol Michael Jackson.

One of the central topics was a possible VERZUZ battle with Usher; a battle many have been calling for ever since the platform emerged.

Head below to see what Brown has to say about it…

The Sugababes proved a sweet treat for revelers at Glastonbury 2022.

Original members Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan, and Siobhan Donaghy delivered a seismic set that magnetized such a crowd that entry to Avalon Stage had to be closed. A festival first.

And the excitement was justified.

Because the Brit-Pop trio (who are one of the most successful groups in UK music history), rocked the slot with classics such as ‘Push The Button,’ ‘Overload,’ and ‘Too Lost In You.’

The Babes’ showing comes on the heels of their 2022 tour announcement.

The drama between B2K‘s members is boiling to scorching degrees in the wake of Omarion‘s VERZUZ battle with Mario. 

As reported, the latter brought out impersonators to mock the much-publicized issues within the band.

The move not only generated laughs from those watching but also from B2K members J-Boog and Raz-B. 

Needless to say, Omarion did not see the humor and launched a tirade against his former comrades – branding them his “three backup dancers” who always sought his “downfall.”

Now, J-Boog has weighed in with a lengthy letter spilling his side of the B2K fall-out and landed a number of zingers on O.

Omarion may be renowned for his zen demeanor, but it appears the aftermath of “that” VERZUZ showdown with Mario has the star saying “oh” for a multitude of reasons.

As reported, the latest installment of the battle series saw the ‘Icebox’ singer square off with the fellow 00’s launched crooner.

During the spar, Mario brought out B2K impersonators and joked about the group needing to iron out their much-publicized differences.

Various members of the group reacted on social media by posting a shady clip from The Temptations biopic.

And let’s just say Omarion didn’t see the funny side of the matter – lashing out at his former bandmates and Mario.
