New Music: R. Kelly – Green Light
Posted on June 19th, 2012



R. Kelly will release his much-anticipated 11th studio album, Write Me Back, on June 26. On the follow-up to 2010′s Love Letter, the R&B King visits numerous styles, including cuts inspired by ’60s and ’70′s soul, Smokey Robinson and even Elvis Presley. However, the real Kellz fans will be happy to hear this specific track — “Green Light,” which is very reminiscent of the Pied Pipers classic love makin’ anthems.

Chris Brown’s oft-delayed song “Calypso” is finally making its way to you. The R&B star originally planned to release the Polow Da Don-produced track in 2010.

While, it does not appear on Brown’s forthcoming album Fortune, the smooth cut is apart of his innovative new “Rarities & B-Sides” campaign, for releasing more music for his fans on digital retailers.

Singersroom: Though Rihanna's 'Talk That Talk' is still spinning, she has returned to the studio with Sia Furler (Christina Aguilera | I AM), Chase & Status (Red Lipstick), Rico Love (Hello Good Morning), Jim Jonsin (Lemme See), Frank Romano (Melanie Fiona | 4AM) and Nickolas Marzouca (Looking 4 Myself | Usher).

TGJ said it's not yet confirmed but it looks like RiRi's back at the studio again.

Fortune is going to be sick when it drops! It should be a good follow up to Fame Breezy's best album.

Fame and Fortune!

Wynter Gordon Preps Collection of EP’s, Releases New Song “Stimela”
Posted on June 21st, 2012



Wynter Gordon is prepping a self-released collection of four free EPs called “The Human Condition,” the first of which, “Doleo” (Latin for “pain”) is out July 9.

According to the singer-songwriter each EP will explore a different emotion, and sees Gordon exploring all sorts of genres that go beyond her dance-pop niche. “Doleo”‘s lead single “Stimela,” for example, was inspired by Hugh Masekala’s anti-apartheid song of the same name and features a chorus sung in Zulu and African-pop production reminiscent of early-80s Genesis and solo Phil Collins. Elsewhere, Gordon explores rock, trip-hop and what she calls “down-south hip hop and Celtic, classical music” that delves into deeper thematic material than the bubbly dance cuts for which she’s best known.

The music I’m making now is music I’ve always made, I’ve just never been able to release it on a label,” Gordon tells Billboard. “I was growing into this person I am now, and I had to make the music that felt right and was passionate about. I didn’t feel like I was singing everything I wanted to sing, doing dance music and pop music. I wanted to make something that felt real to me. These EPs include every genre of music I like. I really just felt like I had to by myself.”
