MUSIC NEWS: TERRENCE HOWARD’S ALBUM COVER / MICHELLE SPEAKS ON ALBUM PUSH-BACK / CASSIE’S ALBUM DUE OUT EARLY ‘09

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Check out the cover of Terrence Howard’s debut album, Shine Through It (set to hit stores in September). Make sure to peep this video, to hear his sound…

Michelle Williams, former Destiny’s Child bandmate is speaking out about her album push-back. She doesn’t seem too pleased. But then again, why would she? She reference’s Solange’s song, “F*ck the Industry (Signed Sincerely),” so, yeah, that should tell you something. The singer’s third solo project, Unexpected, which is a departure from her other gospel projects, has been pushed back from an August 12th release to drop on October 9th.

This is very unfortunate, considering that a lot of the material from Unexpected has already leaked. Michelle has a pretty solid project to deliver, so I hope this doesn’t mess anything up with her.

Bad Boy has exclusively revealed to our good friends at Rap-Up.com that Cassie’s sophomore album, which is still untitled, is set to drop early next year, when we were previously promised a fall release. I think that’s what’s best, considering that “Official Girl” didn’t jump off as they’d hoped.

A sneak peek clip of the “Official Girl” video, featuring Lil’ Wayne, will debut on MTV’s FNMTV on August 22nd. I’m glad, but meanwhile, they need to be choosing a second single for Cassie to keep the buzz going, considering these Diddy relationship rumors haven’t even been able to keep her afloat.
