MUSIC NEWS: SADE WORKING ON NEW ALBUM / DRAKE SPEAKS ON RIHANNA / OMARION SIGNS TO YOUNG MONEY
Wednesday, June 3, 2009
According to Billboard, Sade is recording her first album of new material since 2000’s Lovers Rock.
Known for her long delays between releases, Sade and the group that bears her name are in the studio. Although Sony has not set a release date, the label hopes the record will be out by the end of 2009.
“She is in the studio and the album will come when it is ready,” a source at Sony told Billboard. “You don’t wait for years for one and then rush it.”
R&B crooner Maxwell, who’s releasing a record soon after a long hiatus, is said to have heard snippets of Sade’s new music. He sent a message via Facebook saying, “Trust me, it’s so monolithic it’ll shake you in your shoes!” Can’t wait!
DRAKE SPEAKS ON RIHANNA
Rihanna is busy prepping her upcoming album and has enlisted rising rapper Drake to help. In a recent interview with DJ Semtex, Drake revealed that he’s actually writing for Rihanna right now.
“I’ve never in my mind felt like, “Oh I could probably write something crazy for Rihanna,” that wasn’t my first thought. But being put up to the task, we’re coming up with some special stuff. It’s crazy,” Drake says.
Rumors hit the web that the two were doing more than making music together, but neither has confirmed or denied it. Drake said, “We’re young. We’re just having fun and enjoying life. That’s all.”
Drake is also working on his own debut, Thank Me Later, and said he’s looking forward to working with Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lil Wayne. According to Billboard, Drake is close to signing a deal with Universal Motown in one of the biggest bidding wars ever.
OMARION SIGNS TO YOUNG MONEY
After being dropped from Columbia last year, Omarion has signed to Lil Wayne’s Young Money imprint.
Posting on his Twitter, he said:
Thanks 4 all tha love yall!! Young money! Omarion!! You will believe and see God’s power!! I’m so humble I kant wait 2 give yall tha new me.
According to SoudScan, Omarion’s last album, 2007’s “Face Off,” the collaborative project with Bow Wow, has sold 365,000 copies in the United States.

I bet I read everyone wanted Drake can’t wait, hopefully he’ll stick to the script after siging and for RiRi that’s a good look a step up from CB (though he’s a gifted).
Hmmmm on O. I still think it’s a wrap but we’ll see.

On Omarion’s quote,
“You will believe and see God’s power…”
WTF do you mean Omarion? Are you about to reign as God’s right hand man or something because you’re finally going somewhere in your career again since 2005? SMDH

You know that you are talented when you dont have to do ish on stage but sit there on a stool and SING. Thats how TOUGH Sade was. No girating. No elaborate shows…just a stool, her hair in that long ass ponytail and some red lipstick and Sade wreckkkkkkkkked the show.

I LOVE SADE!!! My mom and dad used to play her when I was maybe 10 or so… i love her music and Im de buying. AS far as Omarion I think he is tangier than “Sexy Spec” LOL and Drake, I dont get all the hype around him. Im trying to give him a chance since KAnye supports him but all I see when i look at him is little Jimmy in a wheelchair fron Degrassi SMH

Can’t wait for Sade, I’m still playing “Somebody Already Broke My Heart” off her last album.
Yeah I read the Omarion thing about light-skinned chicks yesterday on MTO so I figured it wasn’t true (lol), but who cares about any ignorant person who limit themselves to loving or dating someone based on skin tone/color.

Why would Wayne sign that Lame to his young money Imprint? I was wondering why that no talent fool was on Drakes Mixtape. Anyhoo, I’m happy for Drake. I hope he lives up to the hype surrounding him or else those labels will drop him in a second.

Ummmmmm
Great to see Sade back in action!!
Drake denied Rihanna on a Hot97 a couple of weeks ago, he said they were at Lucky Strike together but nothing is going on…even if there is, im sure he’s trying to get all the publicity he can get. I can’t stomach them together so im throwing all kinda excuses on the table LOL.
LMAO@ Omarion, boy stop. If what he said about Darkskinned women is true then he needs help. Seriously. Why is he signed to young money anyway? What happened to Chris Stokes?
42.

Wednesday, June 3, 2009 /
You know there was always something off about Omarion to me!!!………As someone who is light skinned….It is such a turn-off when dudes especially Black dudes only want to talk to me because of my hue! We got a beautiful brown-skin first lady and ni99a’s still on some whole light-skin bull-ish? People like that will never find their true loves because their of their own shallowness.

I AM GETTING INCREASINGLY PISSED WITH HOW DRAKES CAREER IS PROGRESSING. I BELIEVE THAT THIS GUY IS VERY TALENTED AND I’VE BEEN RIDING FOR HIM SINCE HIS FIRST MIXTAPE DROPPED HOWEVER HE NEEDS TO JUST SIGN A DEAL, RELEASE THE ALBUM AND STICK TO HIS ORIGINAL FORMULA! ALL OF THIS WORKING WITH JAY Z, LIL WAYNE, KANYE WEST AND RIHANNA IS JUST GONNA PULL HIM BACK AND RESULT IN HIM BECOMING THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE WHICH IS THE TOTAL OPPOSITTE TO WHY WE ALL LIKE DUDE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
JAY Z IS A CAMEL, KANYE WEST IS MENTALLY DERANGED, LIL WAYNE IS WACK (STRAIGHT CRACKHEAD) AND RIHANNA A WASHED UP WITCH. WHY WOULD YOU WANNA WORK WITH ANY OF THESE. I CAN SEE IT NOW DRIZZY GONNA BE TRYNA BE A ROCKSTAR NEXT YEAR. HOLLYWOOD FUCKS EVERYONE UP!

————By the content of people that are surrounding this character “Drake”, the

————seen that the cat is a satanist and was probably defiled from a young age
————just to get on that show “Degrassi”. I expect him to blow up now that I see

I love Drake but I guess talent alone doesn’t cut it these days, you have to drum up some sort of publicity to get noticed. But we’ll see which route he chose when the album drops.
Omarion…yea, I’ma leave that alone, lol

Oh and for those asking whether what he said about dark skinned wome is true, yes, it is on his twitter. If he deleted it, which i doubt, that’s cool cos i saved a copy. With statements like those people ask why race is still an issue in 2009. *smh*

@MrsKG,
You should get The Best of Sade to start. But here are some of my favs you should check out:
1) By Your Side (Neptunes Remix)
No Ordinary Love
2) King of Sorrow
3) Clean Heart
4) War of Hearts
5) Sally
6) Frankie’s First Affair
7) Love is Stronger Than Pride
9) It’s Only Love That Gets You Through
10) When Am I Going To Make a Living
The List goes on and on……She’s incredible! Her Lyrics + Voice+Band= Incredible Music! No one can hate on that! In fact, I question what music you listen to if you cannot feel Sade!

@Vividly.Artistic yeah he did deny the rumors. he also said her ppl made it up and i believe him b/c her publicist admitted to doing that with jay-z. they have to keep her popular somehow
i love sade! that SHE is fierce because she actually has talent and style. and she’s naturally gorgeous. it’s sad that ppl don’t know what the word fierce means. they throw it out at whoever is popular at the moment smh

Wednesday, June 3, 2009 /
and omarion is really really ugly. why would anyone care if he likes light skinned girls or whatever? if he gets a cute girl, it’s only b/c he has money and i’m sure he knows that. feel bad for him
