Leona Lewis - NEW Album Photoshoot + NEW Music

Our British popstar Leona Lewis absolutely stunning on the cover of her new album, and the rest of the pictures speak of themselves! The London native looks ready to take on the charts again with her sophomore album 'ECHO'.I added a leak called *STONE HEARTS*, which is ANOTHER ballad from Leona. I guess her label are just on the 'If it ain't broke... why fix it?' type vibe. I would love to hear her do some more uptempo stuff because I'm flat out bored with the ballads!!

Justin Timberlake, Novel, Ne-Yo, and Ryan Tedder all made the cut on the Album that's due to be released November 17th!

New Music Review!

Listen To Sugababes - About A Girl [Keisha Version]

Listen To Sugababes - About A Girl [Jade Verson]

CLICK TO DOWNLOAD - Sugababes * About A Girl [Jade Version]

There has been so much controversy surrounding the sugababes and their new line up lately, I'm surprised they've had time to promo a new single! 'About A Girl ' is the follow up to 'Get Sexy' by the trio, from their forth coming studio album 'Sweet 7'. The uptempo club song is produced by Red One, and is defo in keeping with their new sound. To be honest I much prefer the Keisha version because it makes the song more memorable! Keisha had one of those recognisable soulful voices, that Jade fails to bring to the track. Although I think they both have good voices, Keisha gets my vote on this one. A very catchy hook, and a summer clubbin vibe.... their fans will be happy with the turn out!

JLS - One Shot
CLICK TO DOWNLOAD - JLS * One Shot

First I thought it was gonna be a real slow jam, then the beat sped up and I thought it was a strict techno vibe, THHHEEENN they mixed the two together and left me feeling kinda confused about the direction of the song?! -sigh- I'm disappointed because I thought there would be more R'n'B efforts from the group, but I guess not. Well it is better than the cheesy 'Beat Again' single. I'm starting to care less and less about JLS.... and I LOVED them on X-Factor... ah wells :-(

Listen To Teairra Mari ft/Soulja Boy & Gucci Mane - Sponsor

Ive been a fan of Teairra's from DAY DOT! We actually played her CD so much in my friends car that EVERY SONG started skipping (lol). So I'm always excited to hear new material from her, and I wasn't disappointed with this leak!No one can deny Teairra's vocal talent, and I'm loving the way she's riding the track. Soulja & Gucci give the song a southern feel that fits perfectly with the hard knocking beat. I'm looking forward to Teairra's sophomore album.... BRING IT ORNN!

Oh My Dayum: 'Mathew Knowles Is My Baby Daddy' + Trey Puts it on the ladies!

A 30 something year old LA resident Alexsandra Wright (above) has filed a paternity suit claiming Beyonce and Solange’s daddy Mathew Knowles is HER baby’s daddy. And nope–the woman aint Mama Tina. According to TMZ:

We’ve learned Alexsandra Wright filed the case in L.A. County Superior Court. Wright lives in L.A. — she works in the name-branding business. We’re told she’s in her late 30s.

Wright, who is 6-months pregnant, filed the case last week, alleges Knowles is the father. Sources say Wright is repped by Neal Hersh, who is currently repping Lamar Odom in the prenup negotiations with Khloe Kardashian.

Quiet as kept, there have been rumors for a few years now that Tina–his wife of almost 30 years–and Mathew are separated, but not divorced. And there’s been rumors that Papa Knowles is indeed a Rolling Stone. So this paternity claim isn’t all that surprising. But still. Aint this some ish? I guaran-damn-tee you Tina’s got her bedazzler gun and wig glue on deck if either of them try to jump extra crazy though…-YBF

Trey Songs gave all the ladies a show this past weekend in Atlanta for homecoming(Oct 4th). I swear the best thing Trey did was to cut off his braids... put him in a WHOLE new light.... yummm!!

Beyonce gets BillBoards WOTY award + Solange covers HONEY mag!

A few months ago, Billboard announced that the award winning wongstress (Beyonce Knowles) would recieve the coveted Woman Of The Year Award.

Billboards 4th Annual Women In Music event finally took place on October 2nd, in NYC. Bee arrived looking happy and cute in her ll light blue dress!Small recap of the event below:

Werde then introduced Billboard’s 2009 Woman of the Year recipient. “It is theoretically possible someone on some other planet had a better year than Beyonce,” he quipped. “But I’m not buying it.”

“It’s obvious how classy she is,” Werde said as he introduced Beyonce, who was accompanied by her mother and father, Matthew and Tina Knowles, and Michelle Williams from Destiny’s Child. Beyonce accepted the award, remarking “I am the luckiest woman in the world.”

Beyonce then took the hot seat alongside radio personality and Oprah’s best friend Gayle King, for a Q&A during which she was probed about her relationship with husband Jay-Z, her position as a role model for young women, and her goals for the future. “I really want to win an Oscar,” she revealed.

Bee's lil sister Solange Knowles, is looking fab in her photoshoot & feature in 'Honey Magazines' latest issue! Solo speaks on her alleged romance with up and coming rapper Wale, Fashion & Music! Peep a lil snippet below

On her Parents:
It’s interesting that people think that my dad is the one who’s all strict. They build up quite a character with that guy, and at the end of the day it’s my mom who’s going to give you the neck roll.

On her new album:
It was definitely a concept record. I was really inspired by the ’60s and ’70s sound, mixed with electronic sounds and how to mash those together. With this record I am experimenting more with a really interesting mix of music. My describing it probably sounds crazy but I’m kind of working with tribal, Native American drums and mashing them with weird ’80s and blues.

On if she’s dating rapper Wale:
Well, he’s definitely not my boyfriend, but we are good friends. I have worked with him in the past and I think he’s uber-talented. I think he’s really smart and really creative. And I respect his art. We have a mutual thing. We’re on the same record label and yeah…[Source]
