Expect a new Ne-Yo album in 2012. It had been previously announced that the singer/producer was working on new material. The album titled; "The Cracks In Mr. Perfect" is said to feature gues appearances by Trey Songz, Chris Brown, and T-Pain. Look out for that!

Personally I don't get the hype about this album and I'm not sure if I will be exactly checking it out. Jay-Z and these duet albums. I just hope this one doesn't end up like the R. Kelly one; well the second one anyway. Lil' Wayne has finally revealed the Deluxe Edition tracklisting for...

Who knew? I was just reading a review of a recent concert by Chante Moore and she announced that she is in the midst of a divorce with singer; Kenny Lattimore. Together the couple made a variety of albums on the Arista label. Word is that Chante's next album is said to be a gospel album; "Changed" which currently has no release date. A few years ago Chante released the album; "Love That Woman" to little fanfare. Ashanti is releasing new music and her first single is said to surface within' the next two to three weeks. The single is currently untitled. Ashanti's new untitled album is said to be released on her own label; Written Entertainment. No word yet on what label if any is distributing the project. Me and my friend were talking about the BET Awards and the many travesties of it. We talked about the skit; "The Hollywood Husbands" and how she thought Nelly and Ashanti were married. I told her they were not and that JD and Janet weren't e...

That's the word on the street! With his movie and TV career in high gear; Justin has pretty much ditched music much to the dismay of many fans. It's been five years since his last album; "FutureSex/LoveSounds". I'm sure if and when Justin comes back out; he'll be okay. His only competition was Usher when they were sparring back and forth at one point. Other than that he'll be okay. I mean you see other artists who haven't dropped albums in 10 or more years and they come back like alright like Sade and Maxwell. Surely every artist can't do that and be successful but JT will be fine! I'm not sure if I posted this already but it hasn't been that long that this info has been available. I'm referring to the tracklisting for the upcoming Lloyd album; "King Of Hearts" which is quite star studded. Check it out below! By the way the album will be in stores July 5. Good luck to him because even with all these collaborations, that may no...

It's been a busy day for Beyonce as she not only released the new single cover art for her second single; "1+1" but also the tracklisting to her upcoming album; "4" in stores and online June 28. If that wasn't enough; the second single leaked out. She appeared tonight on "American Idol". Beyonce mania has officially started! You can check out the tracklisting below and I'm a little sad that "End Of Time" previously known as "Till The End Of Time" is not the second single. Maybe it if didn't leak out it would of still been a go but Beyonce opted to choose something fresh and something that we hadn't heard which is cool. Oh yeah here is that tracklisting I promised you all! Tracklisting: 1. 1+1 2. I Care 3. I Miss You 4. Best Thing I Never Had 5. Party" (feat. Andre 3000) 6. Rather Die Young 7. Start Over 8.
