“You’re too crazy beautiful, everybody wants a taste…”

No, Nick Jonas isn’t singing about communion wine. However, he has debuted a new Gospel remix of his hit single ‘Jealous’.

Unwrapped on the eve of the release of his self-titled debut, the subject matter remains the same on the playful remake of the cut; only this time, the 22-year-old is joined by a rousing choir.

Billed as a return to his “roots”, watch the former Jonas Brothers member in action below…

Nick Jonas and Tinashe are wasting no time hitting the promo trail for their remix to ‘Jealous’.

The duo opened up today’s episode of BET’s 106 & Park with a crowd-pleasing live offering of the track which was unleashed earlier this week.

With the original having hit #27 on the Billboard Hot 100 and its new incarnation garnering ample play on radio, the performance could easily provide an added boost to the track’s trajectory ahed of the release of its housing album – Jonas’ self-titled debut (due November 11th).

In any case, peep the performance below…

A carefully calculated campaign has seen Nick Jonas jump from from former boyband-er to one of Pop-Urban’s fastest rising solo stars.

Beyond an array of body-baring photoshoots, the main vehicle for the transformation has been the 22-year-old’s delicious new single ‘Jealous’.

A Billboard hit, the blazing number (lifted from Jonas’ self titled debut, due November 11th) has thus far peaked at #27 on the Hot 100, and in a bid to help the track bolt ever higher, a new remix with R&B star Tinashe has been serviced to radio today.

Despite having clocked up three decades in the music business, Madonna‘s ability to shock and awe hasn’t diminished.

Material Madge is hard at work on her 13th studio album and it was today revealed that she’s added Nas to the unexpected mix of names she’s hit the studio with.

The iconic rapper shared the above shot of himself in the lab with the Pop queen (who posed licking his face) – yet steered clear of dishing of what the duo have been cooking up.

Beyond similar themed pics with the likes of Alicia Keys and the project’s primary producer Diplo, recording of the LP has largely been shroud in secrecy.

Its predecessor ‘MDNA’ may have been dire, but what we’re seeing and hearing of this project has us amped.

Two of the year’s most highly anticipated R&B offerings found themselves available on record shelves on the same day.

Indeed, October 7th brought with it the latest releases of R&B fan favorite Keyshia Cole and high octane newcomer Tinashe.  Between them, they left few promotional stones unturned as they popped up everywhere from ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ & ‘The Queen Latifah Show’ to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live‘ and ‘106 & Park.’

But, was it enough?

With Cole reporting the lowest first week numbers of her career and Tinashe’s modest numbers slightly behind that, did each songstress’s additional releases (i.e. songs and/or videos) and promotional appearances act as just the tricks to hoist reported numbers upward?

Cop a gander of Tinashe!

The newcomer showcases a seasoned ability to work a camera in the video for ‘Body Language’ – Kid Ink’s single which she features on along side Usher.

Set to debut later this month, the visual – which was shot two weeks ago – looks like it’ll make for an engaging watch.

‘She‘ chanteuse may have poured her heart and soul into her new album ‘Point of No Return’, but it would seem the general public have decided not throw their hearts and wallets in its support today, now that it’s first week sales prediction has been announced.

Unfortunately, after the critically acclaimed ‘Woman to Woman‘ opened with 96,000 units in 2012, ‘Return’ is set to touch down on the ‘Billboard 200‘ with anywhere between 22 to 25,000 units next week, marking her lowest opening week number to date.

On lower ground, Urban Pop sensation Tinashe isn’t set to fare any better. For despite owning the summer with the smash hit single ‘2 On’, the entertainer proves there’s more work to be done now that her debut LP ‘Aquarius’ is set to sell between 17 to 20,000 copies.
