Famed R&B vocal less vocalist Trey Songz spoke with The Source about his forthcoming fifth studio release ‘Chapter 5’ , citing the work as ‘the best me you’ve ever heard’.  The album, which will act as the follow-up to Songz’ 4th album ‘Passion, Pain, & Pleasure’, is said to be nearing completion.

The ‘Say Aah’ singer also had this to say (via The Source):

“… it’s my sixth year in the game so I’ve been here for a while now. You can expect the best me you’ve ever heard. I don’t have any release dates in mind right now but I’m just making music and enjoying myself in the studio and having fun. When I get to a place where I feel comfortable saying a date or all of that, people will definitely know. I have a few dream collaborations on that album that I want, but they say if you blow out your candle and make a wish you can’t tell people what you ask for or it won’t come true.”

Before it was the name of a successful talent show, ‘The Voice’ has been and still is a certain diva’s moniker – of course we’re talking about the one and only Mariah Carey. Whether on top of the charts or not, Mariah’s status as one of the greatest power-vocalist to ever grace the face of earth has never been questioned.

Mimi’s live showing of her hit ballad ‘My All’ at 1998’s Divas Live will make the object of this week’s From The Vault.

A Lamb-favorite, this live showing showcases Mrs Carey-Canon’s then new voice: a raspier, huskier one, and although a tad less powerful than before, it boasted a compelling rawness.

By the end of the performance, the soulful songbird channels her inner Dance-diva, parading on stage to the David Morales remix of the track. A refreshing flirtation with Dance we wouldn’t mind seeing her revisit with future efforts.

Speaking of what’s to come, a degree of realism is imperative. The mother-of-two’s voice had been through a lot – from the mire and back higher. Indeed, her vocals have been the subject of many heated conversations. Yet, although we highly doubt she’ll recapture the youthful horsepower she possessed during her vocal hey-day (which is only fair), we at That Grape Juice are still rooting for ol’ Mimi and anticipate more greatness from her before the curtain call.

Rihanna‘s set at the V Festival last night saw her chime ‘uh, uh, uh, I’m so hard’ and boy was she telling the truth.

Hard to listen to. Hard to watch. And ultimately hard to conceive how she’s risen through the ranks to achieve the status of Pop priori she enjoys today.
