♫ Keri Hilson - Hurts Me (full) - listen
Another track for Keri’s In A Perfect World… sessions has leaked, titled “Hurts Me.” I really love the sound of this song, it really would have been a great addition to the album. If I’m not mistaken, Candice Nelson of The Clutch can be heard on background vocals and has co-writing credits on the track.
♫ Day26 - Get Away Girl (full) - listen
I’ve yet to be really wowed by anything that has leaked from these new Day26 efforts for their new album, Forever In A Day (love that album title - it reminds me of Prince’s Around the World In A Day). But I was intrigued by the simple, futuristic sound of the production (credits to Roy Hamilton) on this new track, “Get Away Girl.” I love the simplictiy of the hook too. Forever In A Day is set to hit shelves next month, April 14th.

Rihanna spotted arriving at Nobu in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. The singer has been spotted out and about all week housing shopping in the Hollywood Hills.
Rihanna also got a new gun tattoo last week. Life & Style Magazine spoke to her tattoo artist BangBang and this is what he said:
“She flew me out to LA for the day because she was getting a tattoo for one of her friends as a birthday gift. She’d been toying with the idea for a while to get another tattoo. I’ve done other tattoos for her; I added stars to the ones she already had. So when I was done with her friend, we talked about what she wanted to get. She was doing research on what would look good, and I drew up a couple of things on the back of her arm, but they weren’t the perfect one. I’m a big advocate of guns. So I said, ‘How about a gun?’ I printed out a picture of a gun that I thought would look good, and she loved it. We were thinking of putting it on her finger next to her wrist, or on her shoulders. She loved that, but it took away from her face, and you know, she’s a CoverGirl, so we couldn’t do that! So we put it under her ribs and she loved it. It took about 15 minutes. She didn’t complain while I did the tattoo. We also talked about her getting a skull and crossbones, but she didn’t love it.”

On April 1 on PBS, viewers can tune-in to a new half-hours special, Coming Home: Military Families Cope With Change, featuring Queen Latifah, John Mayer and Elmo. This half-hour special, part of Sesame Workshop’s ongoing initiative, Talk, Listen, Connect, tells stories of service members who return home with injuries, visible and invisible, and explores the heroic struggles their families face in discovering a new way of finding a “new normal.”
On the episode Queen Latifah speaks on her father’s battle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD):
“My father actually suffered from PTSD. He was a veteran of Vietnam and I know he’s helped a lot of his friends from Vietnam and from other wars to try to get treatment and get help… it was very challenging for us as a family, so I can kind of relate to what the kids have gone through because it can challenge your relationships… [My father] just really explained that he saw a lot very difficult things that were hard to deal with and it was hard for him to deal with them emotionally and psychologically. I started to understand it. Luckily he sought treatment…and it really made a big difference because it helped him to recognize what was going on.”
