Tiffany Evans - Spotlight (full) - listen
Check out this new track from Tiffany Evans, produced by none other than Brian Kennedy. “Spotlight” is interesting for Tiffany, it finds her exploring the realm of the Euro-pop sound. I like this effort from her because it shows that her voice can’t be pigeon-holed into one genre. Many think that all Tiffany can do is belt with those church-trained pipes, but this shows that her voice has a versatile pop side. No word on the release date of her new album, Ponytail Krush, but it’s good to hear some new material.
Mario feat. Brandy - Boom In It (full) - listen
Mario is working on his new album and a few songs have leaked. Of my favorites is this new track, “Boom In It,” with one of my favorite female vocalists, Brandy. It’s really interesting to hear Brandy on all of these duets, because I love seeing how well her tone matches with so many different sounds. I’m a little worried about Mario’s album, because I really thought that he wasn’t working with a whole lot of producers this time around. And it seems with all the material that’s leaked, there really hasn’t been a consistent sound that he’s going with.
Whitney Houston’s first single, “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength” hit the internet yesterday. The new track comes from her long-awaited seventh studio album, I Look At You. It was first announced in March 2007 by Clive Davis who revealed that the singer would be heading into the studio to record her first studio album in 4 years. It will be released September 1, 2009 by long-term record label Arista in assocation with J. Records.
The new single, produced by David Foster and penned by Diane Warren, tries to capture a timeless sound that Whitney should be going for. On the album, Whitney is slated to also work with hitmakers Akon, Swizz Beatz, Sean Garrett, Alicia Keys and R. Kelly.
Check out the new video from Drake entitled “Best I Ever Had”. The clip was directed by Kanye West and surprisingly, I’m not impressed. Very lackluster. Come on Drake & Kanye, y’all know this isn’t up to par!

Singer Trey Songz released a new R&B mixtape earlier this week via his Twitter page. The 13 song “Anticipation” mixtape will definitely hold Trey fans over until the release of his third studio album, READY, on August 4th.
Check out the new video from U.K. based singer/producer Mr. Hudson and rapper/producer Kanye West entitled, “Supernova”. The tune, which was produced by Kanye, is the lead single from Mr. Hudson’s sophomore album, Straight No Chaser, which drops in August on Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music Imprint.
