I Look To You Leaks!

Whitney Houston's upcoming album, "I Look To You" has leaked. The album, due 31 August is the diva's first release in 7 years and promises to be one of her best yet. Peep the official tracklisting and album artwork below.

1. Million Dollar Bill

2. Nothin' But Love

3. Call You Tonight

4. I Look To You

5. Like I Never Left (feat. Akon)

6. A Song For You

7. I Didn't Know My Own Strength

8. Worth It

9. For The Lovers

10. I Got You

11. Salute

12. I Didn't Know My Own Strength (iTunes Preorder Only)

After listening to the entire album (besides track 12), I'm really liking what Whitney and her team have put together here. I think the album sits between classic and contemporary RnB which works well for what they were trying to achieve.

I really feel that with the right promotion this could be a very successful 'comeback' album for her. My favourites are tracks 1, 3, and 8-11.

If you can find a copy of the album somewhere take a listen to it and let me know what you think.

PS: Buy your copy on Tuesday!

New Music: Mariah Carey!

The second single from Mariah Carey's upcoming album has premiered. The track, "I Want To Know What Love Is" is a cover of The Foreigner's 1970 hit and has been confirmed as the second single. Listen to the track below and let me know what you think!

I'm really liking this. I think Mariah has taken a classic and really given it her touch. In my opinion this is the best vocal we've heard from Mariah since The Emancipation of Mimi, especially around the end of the song when she gives it her all! I'm hoping this single does well for her, but I'm not sure if I see another #1 that she seems so desperate to get. What do you think?

MJB: The One Video!

The video for Mary J. Blige's lead single, "The One" off her upcoming album, "Stronger" has debuted. The clip sees Mary in a familiar place with a few effects and an appearance from it rapper, Drake. Peep it below and let me know what you think!

Whitney Shoots Bill!

Finally! Whitney Houston has been snapped on the set for her first single "Million Dollar Bill" off her upcoming album, "I Look To You". Whitney looks great in the pic so lets hope the video does the catchy song justice. Like many people though, I've been wondering why the video is not on the TV yet! Let's hope it debuts soon because the album release is less than a week away! What do you think of the pic?

Leona Echos!

The much anticipated sophomore album from Leona Lewis has now been given a title and a release date. The album, "Echo" will reportedly be released on 17 November and is said to feature production from Ryan Tedder, Stargate and Timbaland. After suffering a few leaks in the past months (see "Don't Let Me Down" with Justin Timberlake) I'm hoping she is able to really deliver this time around. What are you looking forward to on Leona's new album?

MC Wants To Know What Love Is!

The new "official" first single from Mariah Carey's upcoming (delayed) album has been announced as The Foreigners' "I Want To Know What Love Is". The track is said to see Mariah getting her whisper on (see entire Charmbracelet album). Again, I can't wait for this to debut. In other news, "Obsessed" has reclaimed its spot at #11 on the Billboard Hot #100, maybe the PR team will continue to push it if it climbs higher. What do you think?

We Have A Smash!

Listen to a snippet of "100%" a new track from Mariah Carey said to be off the Push soundtrack album. The track sees MC teaming up with long time collaborator Jermaine Dupri and really emphasises why she IS the top artist in this game. This really has my hopes lifted for Memoirs! What do you think?
