February 16th, 2011

R&B singer/songwriter R. Kelly stopped by the Lopez Tonight show and sang his Valentine’s Day appropriate single, “Number One Hit” from his phenomenal studio album, Love Letter. Love this song. Go cop the album if you haven’t heard it yet.

THE DREAM REVEALS ALBUM NEWS

Just a couple of days ago, The Dream announced that he is working on a fourth studio album, but now he’s revealed some more information about what’s going down.

Originally, he said that he was going to title the album Love Affair (all his previous albums had ‘love’ in the title), but he has swapped to the title The Love, IV.

“This album is gonna have more features, which is unique for me, ’cause I usually don’t carry a lot of features,” he told MTV News. “I’m calling it out now. I’m cashing in my chips. I’m gonna try to get everybody, Wayne, Kanye, Jay, Drake, Mary, anybody that I’ve worked with or loaned a hand to, I’m trying to get on my album.”

Usually, The Dream works exclusively with producers Los Da Mystro and Tricky Stewart, but this time he plans to get in the studio with producers Dr. Dre, Polow Da Don, Carlos McKinney and Kanye West. Originally, he announced that the album would be out by August, however he’s set his eyes on June 7th for release.

The two have announced a co-headlining North American tour, titled The Hooligans In Wondaland. The two plan to tour the greater United States from May through June, with specific cities and tour dates to be announced in the coming days, but until those details are released:

      Oh sh*t! I thought I was the only one that noticed, LMAO! He was trying way too hard to duplicate R. Kelly’s Soul Train awards performance. He failed at that attempt.

    Cool! they have similar styles musically (and outfits-wise) so I think they’d be a great compliment to each other on a joint tour :-)

    I could have sworn Dream said he was done with making albums. Why is he releasing another one?

    Good for Janelle and Bruno. That’s a concert I would love to see.

    R. Kelly was amazing. I enjoy his entire CD. Bruno is okay. I am not into Janelle music.
