Fresh from garnering critical acclaim this season for leading an all-star cast aboard VH1’s latest holiday film, ‘Hip Hop Family Christmas,’ as well as a CW holiday special, ‘The Black Pack,’ singer-songwriter Ne-Yo is returning focus to his music with the newly-released single, ‘Stay Down.’
Tapping rising rapper Yung Bleu to assist, the mid-tempo jam – NE-YO’s first traditional musical offering since September’s ‘What If’ – sees the GRAMMY winner lay out limitless loyalty to his lady love.
“Ooh, my last, I’ll split it / Partner in crime, I’m wit it / I’ll tell the judge I did it / Just put something on my books, come visit,” he croons in the first verse of the Mally Mail-produced tune.
Rumored to be one of many gems set to line the tracklist of his long-awaited new studio album (due in 2022), hop inside to hear ‘Down.’
Forgiveness and emotional triumph shine as central themes of ‘Song & Story: Amazing Grace,’ the first in OWN’s collection of ‘Song & Story’ films inspired by songs known as “anthems for womanhood.”
Starring Bresha Webb and Getenesh Berhe, ‘Grace’ tells the story of a talented artist (Webb) battling tremendous obstacles who forms an unlikely friendship with an optimistic store owner (Berh) who guides her towards the forgiveness of a painful past.” Over the course of the film’s journey (which also features legendary Gospel singer Karen Clark-Sheard), the women discover the many ways their paths are intertwined.
Directed by Sharon Lewis, see previews inside ahead of the movie’s December 21 debut.
After joining forces to top music charts with hits like ‘Knock You Down,’ singers Keri Hilson and NE-YO reunited in an attempt to reign over TV ratings charts with their VH1 Christmas film, ‘Hip-Hop Family Christmas.’
Toplining a star-studded affair that featured MC Lyte, Terrence J, Serayah, Red Man, and more, Hilson and NE-YO (born Shaffer Smith) portrayed a newly-engaged couple who are looking to help soften the image of their fictional Rap royal family as the dysfunctional group prepares for a live Christmas television special.
Though a knockout on the critical front, look inside to see how ‘Family Christmas’ fared with its ratings.
‘Ray of Light’ hitmaker Madonna is looking to enlighten 50 Cent on the proper way to apologize after the rapper lent sarcastic sympathy to the Pop Queen for dissing her last week.
As we reported here, 50 (born Curtis Jackson) took to social media to ridicule the aging diva for posting provocative photos – a measure she responded to by saying he was ‘jealous’ he won’t look as good as her when he’s in his 60’s.
Once Jackson got wind of her response, he posted an apology on Twitter that many – including the Pop icon – perceived as half-hearted.
Late Friday night (December 10), Madge weighed in on his comment with a lengthy clap back. Hear it inside:
The same day Leonardo DiCaprio‘s star-studded dark comedy, ‘Don’t Look Up,’ hits theaters (as we reported here), the lead single from its soundtrack – performed by two of the movie’s stars Ariana Grande and Kid Cudi – gets the official video treatment.
Titled ‘Just Look Up,’ the song’s clip arrives on screens just a week after the Nicholas Britell-produced soaring ballad made its official premiere to drum up buzz for its parent film.
“Just look up/There is no place to hide,” Grande sings on the song’s chorus. “True love doesn’t die/It holds on tight and never lets you go.”
A glittery affair performed in front of a screaming audience of fans, the screen behind the performers shows galactic imagery, which references the film’s plot of two astronomers (Leonardio DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence) who discover a comet is on a direct collision course with Earth.
Look inside to hear ‘Look’ and see how good Grande and Cudi make impending doom sound.
