With only a week till Rihanna's new album "Loud" is released, a leaked track featuring Eminem hits the net. "Love the way you lie part 2" is the sequel to eminems smash hit. This time rihanna's dominates the majority of the track and the instrumental is more piano driven and features heavy drums in the chorus .
It should be noted that this is said to be an incomplete version of the track. If you wanna hear the complete version your gonna have to pick up Rihanna's album "Loud" when it hits retailers on november 15th.
Speaking on Eminem, Rihanna told MTV "Something is wrong with Eminem. He has so much in his mind that I almost feel lucky for him that he has music... Music is such a great release for him. He’s one of my favourite artists." I assume this is a complement.
American tv channel ABC have announced that the will be airing a 90min film of beyonce's I Am tour on Thanks Giving Evening. The footage is compiled from over 90 concerts and will feature guest performances from Kanye West and Jay Z. the footage shown is thought to be from the I AM TOUR DVD which will be released on november 30th.
This is the second time Beyonce has hosted a thanks giving special, as last year ABC aired "I Am Yours". Like the latter did, Beynonce's new film will probably find its way onto UK tv channels a week or 2 later.
While you wait for the for thanks giving or the release of the dvd, we have a preview clips below.
With the release of his new album "My Dark Twisted Fantasy" only weeks away, kanye west has released a shot film called "runaway". The film lasts just over 34 minutes and features many new tracks, prosumably from his new album. It act as a visual intro to the album. I've now watched the video and i have to admit kanye suprises me. Having proven himself to be one of the most formidable forces in the music industry, he can now add directing talent to his list of skills. It aparent kanye's got a keen eye for art as the short film features lots of stunning shots, normally synchronised with thundering beats. It has to be said though, at 34mins the vid feels a bit too drawn out. Not enough occurs within the running time and instead we treated with overly long scenes in which nothing much happens. The film could have done with tighter editing, chopping out most of the fat would have made run away a more enjoyable experience but theres no doubt that kanye west has shown that he has some talent in the medium of directing. I've done enough talking, go aghead and watch the vid below. Also look out for nicki minaj's narration in the opening few minutes.
Update: yesterday we posted a article, based on the rumour that Beyonce was pregnant. That rumour wa infact proven to be false when Tina Knowles appeared on chat show ellen . In a preview clip released from the show she says "No, no. It's not trye.Not right now".
I for one am actually pleased that shes not pregnant just yet, im hoping for another few album or 2 before she turns to motherhood.
Previously:
Sources are claiming that RnB superstar Beyone is pregnant with her first child. Its reported that she is in the first 3 month of the pregnancy. "B was shocked. She loves kids, but she wasn't ready to be a mother just yet,"reports one soutce but another source claimes "This is a gift from God and she's so happy." Having said this news remains in the rumour category as it hads not been confirmed by the the couple or their representatives.
In the past there have been reports about Beyonce being pregnant and of course they've all turned out to be false. This rumour however has been taken more seriously and its credibility is only hightened by the fact that it was reported by US weekly, one of the biggest magazines in the states.
Beyonce made a suprise appearance on US tv last week but no baby bump was visible. Were expecting the rumour to be confirmed or denied in the next coming hours
whilst on her "Monster Ball" tour Lady Gaga gave the Oslo audience a special treat by divulging some details of her upcoming album "Born This Way". She revealed that she had jus recently been in the studio recording for what is arguably the most higly anticipated album of 2011.
On her recent recrding session she said "I've spent time this week in the studio in Norway. People say why don't you wait till the tour is over to finish your album?’, and I say firstly cos my fans aren't going to wait that long."
She continued "Secondly because I get so much inspiration every night when I’m here with you. Then after the show I drink a bottle of Jamesons (whiskey) and I get sh*t wasted. I drink a lot and I tell the truth about myself!"
she finished saying "I've been writing all these songs on piano first and then we built the track and orchestrated it together."
On thursday 14th Alicia Keys gave birth to her first child Egypt Daoud Dean. Swizz Beats has 3 children from a previous relationship.
Acompanying this massive news Alicia Keys announced that she we be releasing a new single "Wait Till You See My Smile" The single will be released on November 28th and is giving fans the opportunity to create the video. A competition between RCA and Genero.tv will allow fans to submit their own videos where Keys will then select the best. Her selection will then be used as the offical promotional video for the single. Im wondering if we might see a X-factor performance from the Rnb superstar? Anyway whilst we await for the video, have a listen to the beautifull "Un-thinkable"
A new track has emerged from Rihanna's new album "Loud". "Whats My Name" is a quality track filled with dancehall synthes, precussion drums and RiRi employes the bajan twang in her vocals in a similar vein to "Rude Boy".
The song also features a guest appearance by singer/rapper Drake. on the collaboration rihanna commented "Drake is the hottest rapper out right now and we've been trying to to work together. He's the only person i thought could really understand the melody of the songs and the minute he heard it he said" "I know exactly what i'm going to do! I love it." "And he did it like 3 days later".
kanye west's highly anticipated new album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted fantasy" is set for release on november 22nd.
As kanye is set to submit the album to his record label by october the 14th (thursday) the rapper is putting final touches on the album and finalising what songs to include.
Kanye tweeted "Late night in the studio in Australia, wrapping up the album. what songs will make it, what songs won't?"
He continued. " Most every song has been extended and has music embellishments....I dn't make my album by any radio format.... i juslet thta sh*t ride"
The abum packed full of epic collabo's including Jay-Z, La roux, M.I.A, Lupe Fiasco and pusha T.
Heres another look at the stunning video for power. i'm astonished that this single hasnt recieved more success seing as its great song with a brilliantly original video. Either the british public have no tasre for music beyond generic pop or Kanye's out-burst at last years VMAs still putting a damper on his popularity.
Last month we reported that Beyonce wuld be going in a news direction for her new. Now we've got news that she may be releasing a brand new single in the next 3 weeks, much closer than the 2011 date.
Producer Los Da Mystro: tweeted " Listening to B's new record dream wrote.....F-INg INSANE!!!! WOw!!! she about to kill the game again!! Had to listen again!! ya'll C in 3 weeks! " When questioned further by fans Los Da Mystro replied " thats what their saying now. But it is the music business, could be sooner, could be later"
Whether or not the track is delivered on time, it seems aparent that an insane amount of hype is being built around B's new LP. Garrett says "its goin to be her biggest album ever, were taking it to another level".Will it be enough for her to steal the limelight from Lady Gaga and more importantly will it allow her to achieve the iconic status shes in search of? we won't know until the album hits retailers which is likely to be late 2010 or early 2011. Heres a unrecorded song which found its way onto the web a quite a while ago, maybe it gives us a taste of whats to come from beyonce. would yu like B's new album to follow in this direction? post your coments below.

After taking a 6 month hiatus Beyonce knowles is back in the studio working on her fouth (yet to be titled) album. Confirmation comes from singer/song writer Neyo. He broke the news on twitter boasting "Morning NY, in the studio with Mary J Blige last night, Beyonce tonight. I love my job" The hit maker who is responsible for beyonce's smash hit single "irraplaceble" is one of many queing up to work with beyonce, producer Richard Harrison had this to say about a new potential track: "A track that the Irish band of rockers The script wrote for their new album was picked up and circled internally through the record company until eventually it crossed the ears of Beyonce. She is very interested in recording it for her next album. If she does, and it’s halfway as huge as any of her other songs, The Script are in for a bumper pay day". Other producers working on the new album include The Dream, Rodney"Dark Child" Jerkins and Jim Johnson.

Speaking of Neyo, heres the video to "one in a million", the second single off his new album "Libra Scale"
Whilst promoting his new album "Libra Scale" Neyo elaborated on the progression of beyonce's new LP. "Its coming along nicely. I can't speak on it too much, but its another direction from her, and shes carving out her own niche. In a minute nobody can stand in Beyonce's lane, they really cant get in her lane now, but they really can't get in her lane after this album." Bold words from the "closer" star. beyonce's previous outing "I am....Sasha Fierce" has sold approximatly 7million copies since its release in 2008 and spawned 1 number 1 single and 3 top 10 singles, including the iconic "Single ladies".
Barbadian beauty Rihanna has revealed her new LP "Loud" and its lead single "only girl(in the world)". The Umbrella singer announced the new track and LP on Ryan Seacrest's radio show. Describing the upcoming album as "sassy, fun, , flirty and energetic" It seems like Rihanna has taken a u-turn from her previous direction of work on the moody and edgy"Rated R", her darkest material to date. On the change in direction Rihanna says shes gonna miss the "Rated R" era and added "jus being normal, normal for me is loud! sassy, fun, energetic". Have a listen and tell us what you think:
Loud is due for release on November 4th, Rihanna has said it contains some suprise callaborations but did not elabourate on who would make a guest appearance. The Album arrives only a year after 2009's "Rated R" This could possibly be a result of the album sales failing to meet expectatins. Having said this, the album still managed to sell jus under 3million which is impressive by any standards, especially in an era of falling record sales.
In other Rihanna related news, the singer was seen sporting a brand new tatoo in the form of a gun. Decourating her thigh, the tatto is said to be a fake.
