Kelis Dropped, Van Hunt, Mary's Pain

-


Goodbyes
Kelis has been dropped from Jive Records! While it is certainly nothing to celebrate, Kelis is obviously well off. Kelis expressed her disdain with Jive eons ago. Kelis released one album, "Kelis Was Here" under Jive Records which produced the hit, "Bossy". Oddly enough each of Kelis' 3 albums have been released on all different labels (Virgin, Arista, and Jive). Overseas though Kelis has remained under the Virgin wing for over 8 years. In the meantime Kelis is working on a new album with Cee-Lo and Guy Chambers (whoever that is). She is also being courted for a VH1 reality show similar to Project Runway and auditioning for film and TV roles. "Bossy" indeed!

Album Updates:
I don't know how many of you are all familiar with Van Hunt. He is signed to Capitol Records and is managed by American Idol's own, Randy Jackson. Anyway he is releasing a new album called, "Popular" on January 15, 2008. My favorite song from him is called "Down In Hell (With You)". MySpace him!

Mary J. Blige's "Growing Pains" album is now due Dec. 11th. I had previously reported it was due Dec. 18th.

Good on Kelis, I hope she finds a record label that appreciates her talent and individuality in this saturated R&B game. Jive didn't do ish for the "Kelis Was Here" album and the only reason "Bossy" did well is because it was so hot it sold itself. Can't wait for the next album.

P.S. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Chambers

I like that Kelis collaborates with a diverse range of producers and writers (eg) Dr. Luke & Damon Elliott on the last album. Although I'm not necessarily a big fan of the results as yet I appreciate her individuality always, we need more R&B artists like her.

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record
