I reported a few days ago that Faith Evans had a new single being released titled; "I Got Faith In You, You Got Faith In Me" but now I'm reading the first single is called; "Way U Move". The song is produced by Chucky Thompson who has worked with Faith in the past and who is quite underrated if you ask me. Faith's upcoming album is titled; "Somethin About Faith". Are you all looking forward to the new single and album? Ne-Yo is returning back to the music scene with his new single; "Beautiful Monster" which will be released to iTunes on June 1.

So many people were crazy about Jazmine Sullivan's 'Fearless' album but I was not. I tried to get into it but I couldn't. With a few Grammy nominations under her belt and a guest appearance on the new Snoop album, 'Malice N Wonderland' as well as Mary J. Blige's 'Stronger With Each Tear' album, Jazmine is working on a new album. Do you think Jazmine will get the sales she deserves this time? I think the last album just missed the gold status mark. Jazmine Sullivan is working hard on the follow up to her Grammy-nominated debut "Fearless". Taking news of her progress thus far to Twitter, Sullivan wrote "I've been working hard on the project u guys! i'm starting to like it! lol." Also sharing lyrics from a song, Sullivan later wrote "i could put my best dress on, get my hair all done for you... and you still wouldn't say i'm pretty.. one line from my song." Sullivan's as-yet-untitled sophomore project, r...

Depending on your taste in music and preferably R&B, these albums are not to be ignored. They weren't exactly my favorites but they came pretty darn close. And for that they get a honorable mention. Starting with Bobby Valentino, find out what other albums I personally liked and which ones are really worth checking out! Enjoy! The Rebirth, Bobby Valentino This album is not bad by any means. I mean Bobby isn't my favorite when it comes to male singers but he did a good job on this album. He did show that he is still capable of coming back even after splitting with DTP hence the title, 'Rebirth'. Some of my favorite songs include 'Another Life' and 'Hands On Me'. A Man's Thoughts, Ginuwine I'm seeing that I liked a lot more albums from males this year. One, because a lot of males released albums this year and they just happened to do a good job with these albums. Like Bobby, Ginuwine returned after being gone for awhile. He hit us with the hit ...

I remember one of my co-workers had 'Raindrops' for her ringtone months before Jeremih's album was even released. She went on and on about the song and I heard it every time her phone went off. Though Jeremih doesn't appear in the video the song serves as a warm-up for strippers or a steamy ad for a 1-900 sex line. Music Biz: Pleasure P Speaks On Child Molestation Claims! The following statement was issued by Marcus Cooper p/k/a Pleasure P through his attorney Robert Meloni, Meloni & McCaffrey, P.C., 1515 Broadway, New York, NY10036; Email: r.meloni@m2law.net; Tel: (212) 520-6090.

If you paid attention to my "Back To School Week" section, you will see that I mentioned Ester Dean among the many new artists you should check out. While her identity here is kept a secret, many of today's hottest and most brightest stars came out for her to show their support for her video, "Drop It Low". Check it out! And me being the person I am, I don't buy into the hype even if half a dozen of celebrities is bigging her up. I've heard "Drop It Low" before as well as some other stuff but I can't get into her voice. Music Biz: Pleasure P Plans New Single! Pleasure P is on a hit streak so why stop now?

Brooke Hogan vs. Beyonce - The VH1 reality star turned singer was asked about Beyonce and the singer had this to say about the star "..she needs to go sit down and make some babies and chill. She's talented, but she needs to give it a break." It's not like she wasn't telling the truth but of course the Beyonce fans claim that Brooke is jealous. Trey Songz vs. R. Kelly - Trey Songz has always been compared to R. Kelly and the singer even lists Kells as one of his influences. Over the last few years Trey has become increasingly cocky and called Kells out on a song from his "Anticipation" mixtape[I believe]. Trey Songz vs. Pleasure P - Who knew that beef between the two musicians existed until Teairra Mari revealed that Pleasure would be insulted if Teairra recorded a song written by Trey for her upcoming album, "At That Point".

A source close to Drake says the rapper is signed to Republic, but that Motown will distribute the album, alleging that Motown -- specifically label president Sylvia Rhone -- wants to take "credit for anything involving Drake." The news isn't expected to be taken well ...

I actually like this cover. Kid Cudi's debut album is set to be released this month or has it been pushed back? Either way I'm not sure if I'm checking for it. It seems like the little buzz he had died out, in my opinion. I learned from a friend of mine that Kid Cudi actually attended the university(University of Toledo) I graduated from at one time. I was surprised but then again the majority of the students are from the Cleveland(where Cudi hails) area. Music Biz: Joss Stone Battles Record Label! The planned release of Joss Stone's album "Colour Me Free" has been postponed with the "You Had Me" singer upset and prepared to go to war with her label.

Drake Plans Label Debut! While there are as many as three major labels battling it out to sign Drake, the Toronto-born MC signed to Lil Wayne's Young Money label is close to signing a deal with Universal Motown, a source close to the negotiations confirms.Sources say three majors are in possibly "one of the biggest bidding wars ever" in hopes of signing Drake, including Universal Motown and Atlantic Records. The presence of Warner Music Group's CEO Lyor Cohen and COO Julie Greenwald at Drake's recent New York show further intensified the speculation that WMG was making a serious play. I just don't get what the fuss is concerning Drake but whatever. It is glad to see that Lil' Wayne might actually release albums from Drake and Nicki Minaj, maybe because they actually have a buzz as opposed to artists like Currency, another Lil' Wayne signee.
