Making great buzz with her return to music, Solange is back and giving her fans what they’ve been waiting so long for. Her latest single Losing You has received rave reviews, and to add to his burning fire – she announces that she’s releasing an EP titled TRUE. Due out November 27th, the 7-track project is looking promising – collaborating with Devonté Hynes. Hit the jump to view her tracklisting, and in this post is the official album artwork.
If it wasn’t obvious enough… Do you remember M.I.A hanging out with Rihanna backstage at a Jay-Z and Kanye West concert in London on Monday? In addition to RiRi instagraming the two together and subliminally tweeting, “welcome home MIA”? Well on Thursday night, ROC NATION announced they will be managing the electro-pop rapper, who will also be joining R&B singer Bridget Kelly, J. Cole, Willow Smith, Jay Electronica, and Rita Ora.
Keep in mind this is just a management deal for M.I.A., as she is currently signed to Interscope Records. Be on the look out for her fourth studio album, “Matangi,” which is due this fall.
And she wins our hearts even more. With the buzz growing for the upcoming Where Have You Been music video, Rihanna has decided to drop a behind-the-scenes video, only part 1, to the making of the smash hit. In this 2:50 clip, we are shown some of the choreography that will be displayed in the video, something that is not the usual for Riri. From the usually dutty whines and slow grinds, this action packed choreo is set to make this music video another new height. Rihanna says:
I was never gonna shoot this video if I couldn’t do choreography. It was pretty pointless. It would be disappointing.
Well, we’re excited in your choice and can’t wait to see the final product. Stay tuned for an expected part 2 to release over the next few weeks.
Finally, we have the visuals for one of the most talked about tracks from J. Cole‘s debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story. Above are the visuals for Nobody’s Perfect featuring Hip-Hop’s legendary Missy Elliott. The video is directed by Colin Tilley.
Melanie Fiona is back on a fast paced trail to reclaim her spot, as she let’s us know what will be happening This Time. The track features her RocNation labelmate J. Cole and has already been performed once on the Jimmy Kimmel show earlier this week. With her album The MF Life in stores on March 20th, the promo trail is kicking into overdrive, so expect to here more from this lovely young soulstress. This sounds like a definite hit, just what Ms. Fiona needs.
Today is Rihanna‘s birthday and in celebration of it, here is the anticipated remix with former lover Chris Brown. The news was broke via Twitter a few days ago that the two have been working with each other and that they had did a remix a piece. Chris Brown adds a verse to Rihanna’s current single “Cake” and below Rihanna adds a verse to Chris Brown’s single off his upcoming “Fortune” album. Happy Birthday Rihanna.
If you’ve been watching your timelines and happen to follow Rihanna and Chris Brown on Twitter, you may have seen a couple of tweets that made you turn your head. It could seem as tho Chris and Rihanna were subtweeting, letting each other know that their love still stands despite the past. You know what? I wouldn’t mind seeing them back together. They were definitely on the verge of being the young power couple/Jay-Z and Beyoncé. However, we all know the reprucussions that would arise if they ever did get together again, but love is love people!
As a reminder, Rihanna and Chris Brown’s Mother were thought to have been subtweeting each other earlier this month, which you can catch screen grabs after the jump.
It’s a cole, cole world. J. Cole makes the cover for RESPECT magazine, hitting stands next week on November 29th. He’s proven to be the best at his craft so it’s time everyone start showing him a lot of respect. His debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story is in stores now.
