After her new single leaked shortly after this year’s MTV VMA’s, Alicia Keys announces a release date and title for her new album.

On December 1st, Keys will release her fourth studio album, titled The Element of Freedom.

The album is being lead by the single “Doesn’t Mean Anything,” and has already been released on iTunes, but plans have already been made to release a second single, rumored to be title “Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart.”

It has been said that Alicia is releasing her album on December 1st because of World AIDS Day. As you may or may not know, Keys has work countless hours and spent many dollars on charity work for the fight against HIV/AIDS.

No more information about collaborators and special features on the album, but be sure to keep it locked to CL for more updates.

It seems that Diddy’s contract with Warner Music Group/Atlantic Records is now over and he’s making plans to move over to a different label for his upcoming release.

His hotly anticipated, much-talked about release, Last Train to Paris will now be released via Interscope Records.

Implying a new Bad Boy-styled imprint may be in the offing, Combs said in a statement:

“Now that the term of the Warner deal has ended, I have elected to accept an opportunity to move my recording career and future label venture to another company.”

This is interesting, considering the much-rumored departure does not affect WMG’s joint venture with his Bad Boy Entertainment imprint and its acts, which include Cassie, Day26 and Cheri Dennis, among others. They will continue to move through Atlantic.

After being in limbo of a couple of different situations over the past couple of years, Omarion announced to MTV that he has inked a new deal with EMI Records.

Just a month after signing with Lil’ Wayne’s label, Young Money Entertainment, after a brief stint on Timbaland’s Mosley Music Group label, he signed a new deal with EMI to create his own imprint StarWorld Entertainment, where he will release his third studio album, Ollusion, due November 24.
