Blu Cantrell, Missy Elliott, Angie Stone
Once In A Blu Moon
Ever wonder what happened to Blu Cantrell ("Breathe", "Hit'Em Up Style (Oops)")? Well she has resurfaced in a new stage play entitled, "Angela Dunlap's Gossip, Lies, and Secrets". Blu plays one of three women bound by trust and loyalty who's lives are suddenly shattered after another friend's success. There is more to the plotline (of course) but that's a general idea of what its about. The play stars the aforementioned Cantrell, LisaRaye ("All Of Us", "The Players Club"), and Kenya Moore ("Trois"). Sadly I always looked at these stage plays as a last resort (for actors/singers) who were pretty much off the radar. I am glad Blu is doing something to pay the bills. I do hope she returns to the music. She is one of my favorite singers. I know a lot of people are quick to say Blu can sing but they just don't like her image.
A Sure Bet
Missy Elliott returns this December with her new album, "The Countdown". I would guess Timbaland is producing on this. He made some comments (somewhere I read) where he said something along the lines of Missy fitting in with music changing. I'm sure Missy has a few more hit singles up her ass. She currently co-wrote and produced Keyshia Cole's, "Let It Go" which is #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop charts. Meanwhile starting Sept 17th you can catch Missy in the new Doritos (chips) commercial.
Album Update:
Angie Stone finds her latest album, "The Art Of Love & War" pushed back from Oct 9th to Oct 16th. Wow! These albums are really getting pushed back as of lately. I think a lot of artists are trying to avoid the 50 Cent v. Kanye West showdown.
Comments
I hope Missy and Timbo do work together again, Missy just don't sound right over someone else's beats! I want them to go more R&B like Missy's first couple albums though because the last few albums Missy has been focusing too much on rapping instead of singing. (which she's better at)
I'm so glad she's not ashamed of those nude pictures. People are too quick to call women hos and sluts and like she said just because you do nude pictures doesn't mean you out there sleeping with everybody.
By the way, did you ever see the Playboy spread she was promoting the shit out of in this interview? I can't find it anywhere on the internet...lol
