New Music: Kelly Rowland “Dirty Laundry”

New Music: Kelly Rowland 'Dirty Laundry'

I can’t lie, I have always rooted for Kelly! Single after single, I was secretly hoping that this would be the big hit for her. Sure, she has obtained some success as an artist but I wanted Kelly to blow up. She’s a talented artist that actually can sing, she just needed the right song. Well Ms. Kelly is back with a new single called ‘Dirty Laundry’, in her new single she talks about how she was in abusive relationship and how he tried to turn her against B (As in Beyonce). She went on to discuss how she had … Read More

New Video Alert: Body Party by Ciara

Body Party by Ciara

Yes, Ciara is back with a new video for Body Party and I like it! Ciara known for her dance moves, always seems to capture my attention. I have a slight girl crush on her, everytime she dances. No one can deny Ciara is a beast when she takes the stage. I’ve seen her live and she doesn’t disappoint. Set at an Atlanta house party, Body Party stars Ciara’s current Boo Future. Future seductively watches Ciara as he proclaims that she will be his soon and how does he know that? Because he’s Future! Overall, the video was the right amount … Read More

New Music: Beyonce’s Bow Down/ I Been On

Beyonce Bow Down/I Been On

As I surfed Facebook, I got an update from Beyonce′ Page alerting me that there was new music. I quickly head over to her site to check it out. Beyonce is not playing with us; “Don’t get it twisted this my shit, bow down bitches”… While it’s quite the departure from the girl anthems we are used to seeing from Beyonce it does have a street type feel. I guess B is tired of people throwing rocks at her thrown! I wonder is this a prelude to what we can expect from Beyonce’s new album. Check out Beyonce’s new song … Read More

BRANDY-TWO-ELEVEN-ALBUM-COVER

0 Yes, my love is back! I can’t lie, although Brandy has had some hits since Never Say Never she has yet to top the success of her Sophomore Album. While, I won’t say she has topped it with Two Eleven just yet (need to listen a few more times), I will say she definitely brought the heat with this one! Brandy took the simplified approach, she kept it simple and that’s why I love this album. You can tell that Brandy is on her grown women and in love with hits like What You Need, No Such Things As … Read More
