Fergie’s comeback single, ‘M.I.L.F. $,’ may have topped iTunes, nabbed over 100 million views on Youtube, and given her the highest Hot 100 debut of her career (#34 debut and peak), but since its poor reception at radio and mixed critical review the tune has since plummeted out of sight.

Its star-studded video may have helped keep it in mention for awhile, but the buzz certainly was not enough to launch her long awaited ‘Double Dutchess’ era.  Keen to turn things around, Fergie Ferg has unveiled a brand spankin’ new remix EP featuring 6 revamps of the tune.

With additions form the likes of Polow Da Don (the producer of the original), Dave Aude, Slushii, and more, tuck in below to get your groove on:

This week’s From The Vault comes courtesy of Michelle Williams and her 2008 debut secular solo single ‘We Break The Dawn.’

After the end of Destiny’s Child, the ladies went on with their respective careers: Beyonce pursued acting and of course music; Kelly Rowland serviced her sophomore effort ‘Ms. Kelly; and, to everyone’s surprise, Michelle released her first non-gospel project, the aptly-titled ‘Unexpected’. The electro-tinged ‘Dawn’ served as its lead single.

Penned by Solange Knowles and produced by Wayne Wilkins and Adam Frampton, Michelle’s first solo foray into the mainstream arena saw her score a US Hot Dance Airplay chart-topper. The song also managed a Top 50 placing on the Official UK Singles Chart. It never charted inside the US Billboard Hot 100 and wasn’t exploited the way it could have been overseas. Occurrences some cite politics and a lack of adequate promotion to explain.

*************

Directed by Phil Griffin, the track’s visual saw Williams and her dancer friends turn up on empty night streets. Sporting a new look and a refreshed image, the songstress looked like a million bucks in the visual which reached #1 on the MTV Base video countdown chart.

After returning to faith based music with her fourth effort ‘Journey To Freedom’, it seems Williams secular days are gone. Arguably prematurely, as ‘Unexpected’ makes for a compelling listen; one that showcases the singer’s versatility and viability  as a solo star.

Still, we’d like to know, would YOU be up for an ‘Unexpected’ follow up? Or is Michelle strutting her destined lane already?
