After much hoopla and debate, a single has finally been selected for Monica‘s highly anticipated comeback CD, “Still Standing”.? The song, entitled “One in a Lifetime” is a beautiful ode to love and having that special ONE in your life.

Every other day a new Usher song “leaks” on the net. I’m so over it I don’t know what to do! Seriously…how many songs must he “drop” online before the album drops? I’ve counted at least 8 so far… Radar, Papers, Be, Daddy’s Home (ft. Plies),? In My Bag (ft. T.I.), Certified (ft. Pharrell), Get My Swagger Back, and I Love You Too. I didn’t even post some of em since I know all aren’t making the cut but dayum…how much feedback does he need? *sigh*? So now there’s this one….entitled, “Little Freak”.
Usher, who’s making it quite clear he’s single and ready to mingle is joined by Nicki Minaj over a Polow Da Don beat and asks… “is you f*cking?”

I caught up with Dondria aka Phatfffat recently at her new musical home of So So Def Studios.? The talented singer has a newly released single entitled, “You’re The One” and is anxious to release her debut album, Dondria vs. Phatfffat.
The hot single has already hit the airwaves and is a Bryan Michael-Cox/Jermaine Dupri production with strong emotional vocals reminiscent of a young Monica. Listen below:
You’re The One ~ Dondria
In case you’ve been under a rock, Dondria was discovered by Jermaine Dupri after she posted a series of videos on her YouTube channel displaying her talents. She says that she started posting the vids just to get input on her voice, she had no idea she’d get the responses she received. Some of her videos have over a million views and counting!
Check out my one on one with Dondria + her remix of Pleasure P’s “Under” below: Continue Reading…
Sade is back after a lengthy absence with a cover that features… Sade’s back. What a well thought out cover shot!? Sade, the “quiet storm” R&B group which features vocalist Helen Folasade Adu (aka Sade), has completed its long-awaited sixth studio album. “Soldier of Love,” the band’s first attempt at new material since 2000’s “Lover’s Rock”.
Most people think that Sade is a solo act, but it’s actually a group which consists of Sade plus her longtime bandmates: Stuart Matthewman, a.k.a. Cottonbelly, Andrew Hale & Paul Spencer Denman.
In case you missed it, check out the first single, which premiered worldwide on December 8, 2009 below:

Trey Songz is keeping it pimpin with his hot remix of his hit “I Invented Sex,” featuring Usher and Keri Hilson.? Usher sings about threesomes and “re-inventing” sex. My favorite line… “Trey invented sex but he ain’t teach you how to **t it!”
In addition to Usher singing about introducing you to the mile high club, Keri Hilson claims to re-invent sex by doing way more than missionary.
“I’m ’bout to reinvent sex. Keri got ’em like, ‘Who’s next?’/ I’mma make it my duty to have you so woozy, you think I invented X…
Yuuuppp…. these three managed to make an already hot song explode!
