“What do you do after 16 Grammys and millions of records sold? Whatever makes you happy,” Beyoncé exclaims in the latest footage that goes behind the scenes of 4 Intimate Nights with Beyoncé , a four-night concert Mama Bey gave fans at New York’s Roseland Ballroom.
In the clip, you witness the businesswoman calling shots, offering ideas and demonstrating the music mogul she is. It’s definitely clear that the singer, who’s almost 30 years old, is at a very content place in her life and her new music is a direct reflection of that.
She’ll never be a stick figure, but the figure Jill Scott is wearing is God fearing, endearing and a visual to “baby-making music”. In other words, Jill looks AMAZING. The recently surfaced picture wasn’t officially released by Scott so there’s no telling if the lords of photoshop have waved their wands on this image.
The soul songbird lost 63 pounds over the summer and credits her two-year old son, Jett, as the motivation.
“There’s a world of discovery in his eyes,” Scott tells Us. “And I want to be around to enjoy it!”
Can you believe Solange Knowles has the nerve to use Janet Jackson as inspiration for her follow-up project to 2009′s Sol-Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams? What makes her think she has that it to make an album Ms. Jackson (I”m nasty) would be proud of? I mean, she only pens the majority of her songs, has an admirable, signature style that fashionistas love, DJs all over the country, cares for a camera-ready/cool kid son (I hear she’s a cool mom. oh, wow), and has a wide-ranged voice that gives you goosebumps in its low register and gives you wings in its highest.
I guess you’ve guessed that I love this girl and considering reasons mentioned, I’m not sure why you don’t. A little over a week ago, the Knowles’ favorite rebel took to Twitter to answer questions from her followers and when asked about the sound of her forthcoming album she says…
She mentions a song she wrote for Kelly Rowland, having more kids, and MORE below…
Lloyd rallies an acoustic session with fans as he previews a rough version of a song he seemingly just put together titled, “Inside Your Love“. The 25-year old released a solid R&B album over the summer, King of Hearts, that proved he could deliver music that resonated higher than the usual, one-dimensional songs we’ve experienced from him.
The “Lay It Down” singer surely calls for hearts, painting elements of romanticism with his lyricism and vocal delivery. Will songs like “Inside Your Love” see Lloyd soaring above his latest effort?
Love letters, dates at the movies, breaking up and making up…young love is the most complicated simplicity of adolescence. In spite of that, we never forget them.
Anthony Hamilton wants to know what became of his high school love in “High School Love“, a newly surfaced soul joint that tells a story of Hamilton’s one that got away. Nostalgia at its best.
“my high school love, thinking ’bout you almost everyday,” Hamilton sings.
As if she serves on a board of officials for street credit, Kreayshawn has taking numerous tracks to express her acknowledgement of Rick Ross‘ former gigs as a corrections officer-as it opposes his gangster image.
Ustream sessions and freestyles have served as platforms for the jabs against the Miami rapper. In one particular freestyle, she “raps”…
“You tryna play me like a boss/but you’re faker than Rick Ross/ I’ll f*cking cut your d*ck off.”
During Sunday night’s 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, the crews of the two ran into each other and a spew of angry words are thrown across the fence. The “Gucci Gucci” rapper stands near the camera as Rick Ross stands on the opposite side of the circle of chaos and oddly enough, they stay out of the confrontation completely.
