September 29th has brought with it quite the diva showdown!

Coming from corners of country, R&B, and pop, four of the year’s most highly anticipated releases – Demi Lovato‘s ‘Tell Me You Love Me,’ Miley Cyrus‘ ‘Younger Now,’ Shania Twain‘s ‘Now,’ and Tamar Braxton‘s ‘Bluebird of Happiness’ – all soared onto shelves today.

Who will be collecting your coins?

All roads have led to September 29th for R&B songbird Tamar Braxton.

After 20+ years in the music business in varying capacities, the singer/songwriter’s prized achievements have been the critical success afforded her three solo albums ‘Tamar’ (2000), ‘Love & War’ (2013), and ‘Calling All Lovers’ (2015).  We expect no different from her fourth LP, ‘Bluebird of Happiness.’

Branded her by Braxton herself as her  ‘last album’ and ‘best work yet,’ ‘Bluebird’ showcases her oft-envied, crystal clear belts in ways like never before – proof that time has been nothing but kind to the singer’s vocal chops.  Will that kindness be reflected commercially as fans (affectionately coined #Tamartians) cling to the last entry on their fave’s discography?

Time will tell.  Until then, hear the new album from Tamar Braxton inside:

Pop powerhouse Demi Lovato‘s sixth album, ‘Tell Me You Love Me,’ arrived on digital shelves today.

Kicked off by the top 20 single, ‘Sorry Not Sorry,’ the set’s been described by Lovato as a “more soulful” counterpart to its 2015 predecessor, ‘Confident.’  Also featuring the fan-favorites ‘You Don’t Do It For Me Anymore’ and its title track as forerunners to the LP’s full release today, the singer has apparently already won over a number of critics with the mature set (which houses only one feature – rapper Lil Wayne).

Now, we’re anxious to see how it will perform commercially.  Looking to help Lovato score some big first week numbers?  Tuck inside to stream:

Fall’s kicked off in a major way thanks to three of Urban music’s most highly anticipated releases – Ledisi‘s ‘Let Love Rule,’ Fergie‘s ‘Double Dutchess,’ and Jhene‘s ‘Trip’ – all dropping on the same day (September 22).

For fans of soulstresses Ledisi and Jhene, who both released their last opuses in 2014, the wait was certainly nowhere near as long as that for fans of Fergie who waited over a decade since her 2006 since debut solo offering, ‘The Dutchess.’ 

Despite the differences in wait time, the fever for new music from the ladies respectively seemed to be on par:

Sam Smith says hello to yet another hit thanks to his latest release, ‘Too Good at Goodbyes.’

As we reported here last week, the tune – the first from his yet-titled, highly anticipated sophomore album (due fall 2017) – made its presence felt on digital charts just hours after its release when it dethroned Taylor Swift‘s monster chart-topper, ‘Look What You Made Me Do,’ on real-time iTunes charts.  Now, after its first full tracking week (which includes radio airplay, digital downloads, and streaming figures), ‘Goodbyes’ debut on the Hot 100 comes as a career high for the British crooner.

Rita Ora is on the cusp of snatching another hit with new Avicii collaboration ‘Lonely Together.’

The anthemtic track, which is lifted from the ‘AVĪCI’ EP, currently sits at #4 on iTunes and within the top 20 of Spotify’s global chart.

With a major push underway, the arrival of its video is oh so timely.

Speaking on the concept of the clip, co-director Levan Tsikurishvili says:

“It was such a big honour to create this beautiful piece for Avicii and Rita Ora. It has been an amazing fun process in many ways – I loved the idea of playing around with the ‘frozen’ world. What I would do if I could freeze the world – imagine one day if you really could do that, what would you do?”

On December 15th 2005, the Hip-Hop empress Remy Ma released the single ‘Conceited.’

Shortly after, it peaked at #90 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Fortunately, that modest peak position has done little to harm the cut’s impact on Pop culture.

Good news below…

Almost a year from the date Madonna fans threw ‘Papa Don’t Preach’ plagiarism claims at ‘Perfect Illusion’ – the first single from Lady Gaga‘s chart-topping last album, ‘Joanne’ – Little Monsters are doing the same to Nick Jonas thanks to his new single, ‘Find You.’

Unveiled in full September 15, the tune – the second release from his yet-titled follow-up to 2016’s ‘Last Year Was Complicated’ – has already shot to the top 20 of iTunes ahead of its video release.   Yet, while his fans are praising the cut for its stripped, guitar driven instrumentation, some (namely Gaga fans) are saying its chord progressions sound a little too familiar.

Did Nick take a page out of the songstress’s playbook or is it just a coincidence?  Listen to the two inside and tell us your thoughts:

Tamar Braxton has promised her faithful #Tamartians a gem from her forthcoming album, ‘Bluebird of Happiness,’ every week until it’s due in full on September 29th.  The latest of her promise has come in the form of the up-tempo, ‘Pick Me Up.’

Featuring a sizzling sample of Evelyn King‘s timeless 1982 groove, ‘Love Come Down,’ ‘Pick’ is undoubtedly a party-starter, a welcomed ode to Braxton’s love for old school music topped with her even more impressive vocal displays.

While on ‘Birthday,’ she switches things up and slows down on the seductive cut.
