1. Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World)

Radio princess Rihanna returns with the first single from her upcoming album "Loud!". The track titled "Only Girl (In The World)" was produced by Stargate and sees Riri going back to her dance/pop routes. This should see Rihanna back on top of the charts once again.

5. R. Kelly - "Fireworks"

R. Kelly is apparently releasing three studio albums this year. "Fireworks" is a single off the first album, "Epic" and is a typical Kelly track with a piano loop, choir and great hook. Take a listen to it below.

JoJo returns with mixtape

After a highly publicized dispute with her label, JoJo has opted to release a mixtape, "Can't Take That Away From Me" on 7 September. The mixtape is preceded by the single, "In The Dark" which was written by JoJo and produced by Jordan Gatsby. Take a listen to the track below and let me know what you think!

I'm really liking this. It's a very different direction for JoJo, but I think it works. She has stated that the mixtape does not necessarily represent what the new album will sound like, but lets hope she incorporates something a bit different into what she's been working on. You can also peep the official tracklisting for the mixtape below. Let me know what you think!

JoJo gives an album update!

Teen sensation JoJo has had a bit of trouble getting her third studio album, "All I Want Is Everything" released. Anyway, she recently spoke to Rap-Up about the progress of the album and it seems as though it may be hitting stores before the end of the year.

JoJo has been working with Jim Jonsin (Lil' Wayne, T.I.), Wayne Wilkins (Natasha Bedingfield, Michelle Williams), Jim Beans (Nelly Furtado, Britney Spears) and Danja (Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey) among others so the sound of the album should be impressive. We all know that she is a real artist and has one of the best voices of the younger generation so I'm really interested to see what she will be putting out.

Took a look at the interview below and let me know what you think!

The Return of JoJo!

What have you been listening to?

JoJo: Random Hotness!

So I was browsing around the net and came across a leaked tracked from teen sensation JoJo. The track is titled "How You Did It" and is said to have been produced by the one and only Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. Listen to the track below and let me know what you think!

I'm really liking this track. I feel it's on par with her previous lead singles, "Get Out (Leave)" and "Too Little Too Late". If they added a bit of vocal gymnastics at the climax I see reason as to why this couldn't serve as a lead single for her upcoming album.
