Usher Releases Rick Ross-Assisted Single "Lemme See"

Usher gets back to releasing the music that he's good at creating - hot urban pop jams! The King of R&B unveils the cover for his new single "Lemme See". The song features one of the best rappers, in my opinion, Rick Ross.

We find Usher singing about every man's desire, which is to smell (or in this situation, be forward and see) a bunch of punani flowers protected by thin layers of panties. The production is on point, although I hear the starting synths present on Kelly Rowland's "Motivation" makes a quick visit during the beginning of "Lemme See".

Rihanna Dances For Eternal Life In "Where Have You Been"

Who would have thought that Rihanna would come for wigs like she did now? After forcing us to watch the millions of clips for "Where Have You Been", the Dave Meyers video premiered and appears to slide right into the folder labelled "Rihanna's Best Videos".

Rihanna starts the video off by emegring from the depths of the amazonian swamp. She then gets her Prince of Persia swag on and appears to wear a veil, similar to the one on the single's cover. The ritual begins and Rihanna comes for wigs!

Usher Is Going To Perform On Saturday Night Live

Usher is planning on performing on 'Saturday Night Live' in hopes of gaining a lead in the race to the top of the Billboard 200.

The singer will perform on May 12 while Will Ferrel takes hosting duties. We are all praying to the Gods above that we see a performance of "Climax". That's what we'll all be having if he decides to use his talents to remain "artistic" by performing "Climax" instead of the generic Leona Lewis remix (of "Outta My Head") known as "Scream".

New Music: Brandy Returns With Chris Brown-Assisted "Put It Down"

My review is coming!

[New Music]: Usher - "Scream"

Everything about Usher seemed to be alright once we were blessed with the greatness that is "Climax". Well, too bad Usher's streak of releasing quality singles reached an anti-climax thanks to his new single "Scream".

Yes, "Scream" has all the makings of a hit. Big vocals soaring over a redundant Max Martin and Shellback electro-pop production. Let me make things clearer - if you've heard "DJ Got Us Fallin'" and "More", then you've already heard "Scream" without hitting that play button.

[New Music]: Nas - "Daughters"

Is this an ode to Nas' daughter and those cheques he owes Kelis?

His new album is out July 17, 2012.

Lana Del Rey Poses On The Cover Of Spanish Magazine 'S Moda'

When last did I have a Lana Del Rey post?

The sexy songstress poses it up on the cover of Spanish magazine 'S Moda', set to hit stands Saturday (April 28). Lana pays homage to the twitter birdy that is strapped over her shoulder due to the success of 'Born To Die' which has sold 395,000 copies in the UK.

Emeli Sande Blesses Us With "Next To Me" Performance On BET's "106 & Park"

Emeli Sandé has been one of my favourite artists of the year so far. Her album "Our Version Of Events" is already on my best-of list and will sit there nicely for a while. Now she is ready to conquer the US after debuting at #1 on the UK charts.

Watch below.

Cassie Makes Her Comeback On BET's "106 & Park" With "King Of Hearts" Performance

God knows I have waited for this day for a new Cassie performance. After cementing her status as a victim of ridicule from within the urban blogosphere, Cassie has redeemed herself from the performance 6 years ago which put her music career on a stand still.

Taking the stage on "106 & Park" to promote "King Of Hearts", Cassie performed as if her heritage depended on it. You could see the crowd made sure she never got nervous by cheering for the indie icon as she added her emaculate style to the two-step.

[Music Video]: Alexandra Burke - "Let It Go"

Alexandra Burke premieres the video for her new single "Let It Go". As generic as it is, I can't help but think that its one of her strongest tracks!

However, the same cannot be said about the video. For such a strong track, we receive such a weak generic video. The clip failed tofully display Alexandra's dancing abilities, which we all know she slays at. It felt more like a modelling advert for Alexandra to take advantage of her new weave courtesy of Latisha

[Music Video]: The Wanted - "Chasing The Sun"

The Wanted premiere the second single "Chasing The Sun" from their self-titled debut EP.

[New Music]: Wiz Khalifa Releases "Work Hard Play Hard"

Radio rapper Wiz Khalifa is coming for radio airwaves again with his new single "Work Hard Play Hard" off his upcoming album 'O.N.I.F.C.' The single was premiered by Funkmaster Flex.  

[New Music]: Fiona Apple Returns With "Every Single Night"

After a 7 year hiatus, Fiona Apple is finally ready to release new music.

Fiona sounds better than she ever on "Every Single Night", singing against a sparse chime-like beat. It sounds really jazzy. I don't know what else to say about the song thou. I'm still getting used to it. I like it, but I've never been a huge Fiona apple fan. Maybe this album will change my mind?

Lana Del Rey Premieres Homemade Video "Carmen" [Music Video]

You thought Lana Del Rey was done making her homemade videos? Think again, because the indie-pop princess has returned to her usual shoe-string budget music video productions and is finally ready to rule the UK charts again with her melodramatic video for "Carmen".

I wish that this was not released as a single. It's no doubt one of the weakest songs of 'Born To Die'. We need something more upbeat Lana. I still hold a grudge against her for turning "National Anthem" into some anthem that would make them happier than Nicki Minaj's barbz!

Video: Rita Ora - "How We Do (Party)"

My baby Rita Ora released her new video for "How We Do (Party)" which I'm shamelessly obsessed with! Although I know her music can be much better, I can't help but love her beauty and voice. She's like my ex with just a pinch of more lips!

Watch how she parties it up in the video. She made me love her even more (I'm not a huge fan of her music thou) once I saw her amazing cover of Outkast's iconic single "Hey Ya!".

Album Stream: Norah Jones' '...Little Broken Hearts'

I completely forgot that Norah Jones was releasing a new album called '...Little Broken Hearts' but the artist has given us a taste of her new album via an album stream.

NEW SMASH: Nelly Furtado - "Big Hoops (Bigger The Better)"

Nelly Furtado is still the same promiscuous woman that we were introduced to a few years ago, except this time she's conformed to pop society's rules of crafting sexually-agrresive tunes that promote a healthy living. Yes folks, Nelly is back...raunchier and hornier than ever!

Nelly reintroduces herself in the form of a urban-pop banger, "Big Hoops (Bigger Is Better)". This serves as the first single off her new album, 'The Spirit Indestructable', set for a June 19 release date. It will be Nelly's first English album since 6 years ago when she burned down careers with her classic album 'Loose'. I'm expecting some bilinguilism on this album with some special flamenco bangers!

New Music: Maroon 5 Feat. Wiz Khalifa - "Payphone"

Maroon 5 seem to getting back to doing what they are known for - making top 40 hits! "Payphone", the new single off their upcoming album 'Overexposed', due June 26, fnds the band using their free minutes to call radio rapper Wiz Khalifa to secure them a surefire smash.

B.o.B. feat. Taylor Swift - "Both Of Us" [New Music]

Rita Ora Heats Things Up In Sunday Times

Rita Ora shows off her curvaceous body in the London Sunday Times. If only knew about this spread on Sunday I wouldn’t have been chocolate-deprived because Rita would have given me a whole lot of sweetness!

Shot by British photographer Damon Baker, this shows how classy and fashionable Rita is. From gritty London chick to sophisticated, do we need any more proof that Rita needs to be ruling the Paris runaway?

New Music; N.O.R.E. feat. Cassie - "Baby Girl"

You can check the pictures after the jump.

Album Cover: Lil' Twist - Don't Get It Twisted

Lil Twist is preparing to release his debut album 'Don't Get It Twisted', which arrives this spring. The cover is an interesting one consisting of Lil Twist standing in front of the Dallas skyline while he sees a tornado through the reflection of his glasses.

Video Premiere: Norah Jones - "Happy Pills"

No, that's not Norah Jones on the phone with Beyonce asking for advice on how to have her revenge with her cheating boyfriend. That my friend is Norah on the phone with your faves, listening to their remorseful cries as they beg her not to end their career. Yes, Norah is back and she's ready to slay again with a hit new single "Happy Pills".

Produced by Danger Mouse, the new single is a new sound for Norah, exploring more of a retro electro-pop sound that should gain Norah a bit of indie cred. Could your fave come back with a new single that sounds different from what's on the radio, and still sell more albums than your faves in its first week?

Album Cover: Karmin - 'Hello'

Youtube star duo Karmin are preparing to release their debut album 'Hello' on May 8, 2012. You might know them from their amazing covers of artists, such as Chris Brown, Keri Hilson, and Adele. The album is preceded by the singles "Crash Your Party" and "Brokenhearted" (read the review of the video).

The album will also feature production credits from Stargate, Tricky Stewart, The Runners, Claude Kelly, and Benny Blanco.

Rita Ora Performs "R.I.P." On The Crush

Rising sensation Rita Ora showed the world why Jay-Z signed her and unintentionally marketed her as the next "Rihanna'". The singer performed "R.I.P." in a basement on 'The Crush' (???), making sure she obtains her second No. 1 single in the U.K.

Rita really shined in this performance. Not only did she sing with confidence, she also added a much-needed conviction to a convinction-less song. I actually like the song now and I think it has more to do with how beautiful she is, so I obviously let my guard down.

Video Premiere: Drake feat. Lil Wayne - HYFR (Hell Ya F**kin' Right)

Video Premiere: Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull - "Dance Again"

After deliverying a stellar single in the form of "Dance Again", Jennifer Lopez is ready to conquer the charts alongside Youtube with the single's video. To add more flavour to the spicy clip, Jenny invites her toyfriend Casper Smart to allow her sensations and fantasies to explode.

Immersed in a ton of sparkling glitter, a supermodel mother enters the room while Pitbull raps his verse. The camera then shifts to a room where the roof is flooded with a pool of half-naked men and women, who unite with Jennifer as she is elevated to the top. This is intersected with scenes of J.Lo surrounded by vibrant pink and purple colours.

Nelly Furtado Is Ready To Release New Music

The world has not been the same without a new Nelly Furtado album. It has been years since we heard the sexy songstress annihilate her peers with her catchy pop songs, which actually contains some substance.

Thanks to the wonderful world of twitter, Nelly announced the release date of her upcoming album 'TIS, The Spirit Indestructable'. Don't ask me what it means. If it has anything to do with the music and it's impact on the charts, then I'd understand the meaning behind the name.

Adam Lambert Reveals 'Trespassing' Tracklisting

Adam Lambert finally releases the tracklisting of his sophomore album 'Trespassing'. I really hope that a second single gets released before the album's release date, since there is little to no hype left for this album. I'm still anticipating it because I'm an Adam fan, but the promotional strategies has been a mess. 

'Trespassing' is out May 15, 2012!

Fiona Apple's "Idler Wheel..." Is Coming

Yes, Kelly Clarkson was recorded churning out her rendition of Britney's "Till The World Ends".

Who would have thought that all you needed was a guitar and great vocals to turn one of the best pop singles of 2011 into another genre-defining smash?
