Just heard this new Faith Evans track, “Everyday Struggle,” featuring a dope verse from Raekwon, over at SingersRoom (props for the photo, too). Listen to “Everyday Struggle” below, as well as the first two songs released off Faith’s upcoming album, ‘Something About Faith,’ in stores October 5th.
I have a strong feeling that I will be picking up this album next month, and by that I mean the actual CD.
While singer JoJo has been hard at work on her long-awaited next full-length studio album, she’s also been putting together a mixtape for the fans. The mixtape is made up of some of the music that might be a bit too experimental for the mainstream audience.
Listen to and download “In The Dark” now – the first release from the mixtape, ‘Can’t Take That Away From Me‘.
The mixtape will drop online September 7th.

Jazmine Sullivan‘s official video for “Holding You Down (Goin’ in Circles)” premiered today – with appearances by Doug E. Fresh, Pepa, Pete Rock, Kwame, Missy Elliott, and more. I’ve been loving this song since it leaked in late June and I’m excited we finally have the video.
Look out for Jazmine’s upcoming new album, ‘Love Me Back,’ in stores Oct. 5th.
This past Sunday Tamia performed in New York City’s Central Park as part of their annual Summer Stage free concert series. Singersroom got some great video footage from the show, and it only confirms what I’ve already been saying; Tamia is one of the most underrated voices in R&B today. Her control, dynamic, power, and range are all top notch – don’t believe me? Watch the clips below and become a believer!
Tamia – “Stranger in My House”
Live in Central Park
Watch more of Tamia’s performances after the break!

“Breaking Point” by Keri Hilson has been floating around the net for a few days now, but I didn’t post it immediately for two reasons; one – prior to her debut album dropping so many songs leaked that no one was really sure what was a single, what was on the album, or what wasn’t anything at all. Two – I honestly wasn’t feeling this song at first.
Well, some songs are growers. This is one of those songs. I’ve had the song in heavy rotation on my iPod now since Thursday. And to solve the first issue, the song, produced by Timbaland, has been officially deemed Keri’s first single off her upcoming sophomore album, ‘No Boys Allowed,’ out later this year.
Well this is random – but certainly welcome. Joss Stone‘s official site was updated with this brand new track, “Back in Style”. From looking at her tweets from the past month or two, supposedly she’s been working on a track for a Nine West promotion, so this very well may be that song, plus the whole ‘back in style’ verbiage would be appropriate.
Whatever it’s for, it’s a good song. Listen & download below.
A week late, but who’s counting – prepare your thirsty eardrums to be quenched, it’s Kanye West‘s “Power” remix we’ve been waiting for, well at least I know I have been. Jay-Z & Swizz Beatz show up here, and you know these three gentleman are always more than welcome here in my iPod. Listen and download now.
Been bumpin’ this 4-way collabo almost every morning on the train to work, and now we get the visual! The Roots, John Legend, Melanie Fiona, and Common teamed up to record this cover of “Wake Up Everybody,” and then shoot the video in Brooklyn last month.
Pick up The Roots/John Legend collaboration album, ‘Wake Up!’ – in stores and online September 21.

This past weekend Janelle Monae was one of the many performers at the annual Outside Lands music festival in San Francisco. Watch her great acoustic live performance of “Cold War,” her recent single off the amazing album, ‘The ArchAndroid’. At this point I don’t think Janelle can do any wrong.
