I’m really glad that Rihanna took over her Twitter account and has been posting updates herself rather than having her label doing the posting for her. Just today, Ri-Ri stopped by Ryan Seacrest’s Twitter page and revealed to radio jock that her new single “Only Girl” will be released in less than 10 days!!! The new song is said to be upbeat and dance oriented in the vein of some of her earlier hits such as “S.O.S.” & “Don’t Stop The Music“! Can’t wait!!!
(I guess this means that the rumor that Rihanna switched up her first single to a new one called “Cheers” turned out to be false!)
R&B powerhouse Tamia is currently in the studio working on a new album… Her first since 2006! Word is that Tamia has already recorded seven tracks for the new effort which will feature her signature mid-tempos jams as well as a few ballads. I’m praying that Tamia throws a bone to her very loyal dance fans includes at least one or two straight up dance numbers on the LP. (Why don’t these R&B/dance diva’s get it sometimes???)
Last year I reported that Tamia was working along side Deborah Cox and Kelly Price on a R&B girl-group called The Queen Project, but apparently this project has been shelved due to “scheduling conflicts”. (I think it was more likely due to a “clash of the divas”.) The Queen Project would have been a very cool affair if it transpired but I’m just as happy with getting some new music from Tamia…
I think this is a great segway into a little “flashback moment”… Here’s a little blast from the past that use to set my dancefloor on fire brought to you by Tamia & Thunderpuss…

Kylie, who toured the U.S. for the first time ever in her over-20-year career in Fall 2009, said American fans are “unbelievable.”

Looks like Rihanna’s new single for new album is just around the corner! Def Pen Radio revealed some exclusive info today about the new song today, including the title of the track! Here’s what they have come to learn…
“Def Pen Radio has exclusively learned the lead single from Rihanna‘s yet to be titled album will be called ‘Only Girl’. The record is a dance record, “Looks like no more dark music, back to Umbrella Rihanna” from our source who heard the dance track. There is no set date for when ‘Only Girl’ will be released, but information on Rihanna’s new album is coming in rapidly.”
SO GLAD she’s back to dance! I actually liked her Rated R era but like many others, I missed the fun, bubble-gum dance records she use to put out! Can’t wait for the next chapter…
Kelly Rowland revealed today that she plans on releasing two versions of her soon-to-be released new album. Sounds exciting… right?!! WRONG! According to Kelly, she plans on releasing a primarily Pop/R&B album for the US and a more dance oriented version of the LP overseas! BOOO! Come on Kell… Give up on the R&B market here in the US! Or at least give it a little break for a while… It hasn’t worked out for you so far so why keep beating a dead horse?! Does that mean we’re not getting “On & On” or “Shake Them Haters Off” on the US version on the CD? I hope we get at least one of them… I LOVE both songs!!!

For all you Cher fans… The 64 year old diva recently opened up to Entertainment Weekly and dished the deets on her new album! The good news… She is currently working on one! The bad news… It’s only in the beginning stages. The even more bad news for some of you… No dance music! Here’s what the seemingly immortal star had to say…
“It really won’t be ‘Believe-ish’. It will be more… I don’t know how to say it. I can’t put a genre to it. It’s a little bit more real instruments, like guitars and stuff like that.”
“I just got some of the songs and I’m just learning [them] so I’m kind of at that beginning stage where you’re taking baby steps.”
Actually… I think I’m over Cher trying to stay current and ‘hip’ with a house beat and kids half her age dancing around her in a music video. Bring back some rock-n-roll “If I Could Turn Back Time” Cher! Or maybe even a little emo Cher a-la Evanescence! What do you think…?
Fans of Kelly Rowland will be excited to hear that she has finished shooting her next music video for her single “Rose Colored Glasses” and the clip will be completely in 3D! The soon to be released video was apparently directed by famed fashion photographer Rankin has shot some of Hollywood’s biggest stars such as Madonna, Britney Spears & Nelly Furtado. So far, the picture below is the only image we’ve gottento see of the clip… Doesn’t really reveal much but I’m still pretty excited to see Kelly’s 3 demential musical feature!
Pink is one hell of a pop artist! Unlike some of todays biggest female acts… She actually worked her ass off for her success without cliché gimmicks, auto-tune, or ridiculous costumes to garner fame. She actually has raw, natural talent and slowly built a loyal following by proving herself as a true artist time and time again. That’s why I was so proud of her when I read in Billboard that she recently broke a new record with her Funhouse Tour by surpassing the 3 million tickets sold mark! Pink is now packing stadiums globally and has solidified herself as one of the greatest live performers of out generation! Check out this amazing clip that recently surfaced of the “So What” singer pulling a fan up on stage and giving her a moment to be a rock-star! LOVE HER!!!
Former/current hot-mess Boy George spoke to Paper Magazine Blog and revealed his distaste for Lady Gaga’s recent remarks to Vanity Fair magazine in which she admitted that she still “occasionally” uses cocaine. The 80′s icon (and former drug addict) use to sing the praises of Gaga but changed his tune after she made this (no-so shocking) revelation. Here’s what George had to say of “next Whitney Houston“…
“If Lady Gaga were about to be exposed as a drug user I would understand her recent confession to Vanity Fair, that she is an ‘occasional’ coke sniffer, but why offer up this information on a whim? Could it be that her use of coke is not so ‘occasional’? As a recovering addict who knows how dangerous ‘occasional’ use is, I can think of no reason for Gaga to reveal this to her young audience.”
“My mum had the best take on this: ‘She’s reached the stage where she feels untouchable, you all get there, you did, son’. I can’t argue with that! “One has to wonder how much of a grip GaGa has on things. Up until now she has seemed almost annoyingly professional and focused and this seems out of character! Isn’t saying you’re an ‘occasional’ drug taker a bit like saying you’re bisexual? That usually means you’re raving!”
I just never thought I would see the day that weird and outlandish Boy George would be schooling an even weirder and more outlandish artist like Gaga about drug-usage! Damn, I must be getting old! (Don’t tell anybody I just said that…)
