R&B chanteuse Chrisette Michele returns with her second album, Epiphany, hitting stores today.
It wasn’t long after the release of her great debut, I Am, in mid-2007, that she hit the studio to work on her follow-up. Although I Am garnered a couple of Grammy nominations, it was not a commercial success; none of its singles reached the Top 20 of the R&B/Hip-Hop chart, and the album itself barely hit the Top 30 of the Billboard 200.

After a couple of failed singles, it took a little while for Ciara to really get the ball rolling on her third studio album, Fantasy Ride. But she’s past all the push backs the album is finally in stores this week.
When Ciara first started to talk about the new album, Fantasy Ride was set to be a 3-disc set, conceptualized around three very different cities: “Crunktown,” “Groove City” and “Kingdom of Dance.” The three discs would contain 5-6 songs, with each city reflecting a different facet of Ciara’s music.

After a lot of set backs, push backs and mishaps, Keri Hilson finally releases her debut album, In A Perfect World…, today, March 24th.
ConcreteLoop has had a close relationship with Keri since she began the first stages of her debut album, In A Perfect World… We were one of the first sites to feature her in an exclusive interview, and we even were the first blog to debut her break-out single, “Energy,” back in May last year. It’s been a long time coming, but after all the drama with leaks and label politics, Keri delivers a solid debut effort that was well worth the wait.
Atlanta native Terius “The Dream” Nash re-emerges with his sophomore offering ‘Love vs. Money.’ This go-around Dream attempts to further distance himself from his super-producer/ songwriter label and step into the major music star lane. 
Fueled by the lead single ‘Rockin that Thang,’ a track that sways so smoothly from side to side, your hips can’t help but follow suit. A certified club banger?…yes, but the good news is there’s more where that came from.
Similar to his debut, Dream finds himself grappling with the parallels of love versus another equally powerful entity. Instead of “hate” this time it’s money. ‘Walking on the Moon’ featuring Kanye West is 80s style and disco inspired music, kin to the likes of Michael Jackson or Evelyn Champagne King (youngsters…if you’re lost ask your parents).
