But the important thing is that, the cd contains a Hidden Beach sampler that has a pretty lengthy snippet of what is supposed to be Jill's first single from her new studio album coming out in June.
Rich Harrison. You know the name. And if you don't know the name then you know the hits. He and Amerie developed a sound with her first album, All I Have. It's been recreated in Beyonce's "Crazy In Love", Jennifer Lopez's "Get Right" and of course A's "1 Thing".
Like when all producers blow up, they work with all the big names. But when the dust settles and they become a staple, sometimes new ventures are required to take it up a notch or two.
ENTER RICHCRAFT RECORDS!
Rich is fuckin with Atlantic in a major way. He's got some male R&B acts coming on his new label. Keep in mind Rich typically works with women and has only really grinded for two dudes-- Diddy (Making It Hard" featuring Mary J. Blige from Press Play) and Usher ("Take Your Hand" from Confessions). There may be one two other songs for Usher and I think something with Mos Def, but overall Rich has been a ladies man.
Enter Young Steff and Jaiden.
Young Steff is the first male up to bat on RichcrafT.
Jennifer Hudson Breaking New Ground, Scores Cover of Vogue
Wednesday. 2.21.07 12:28 pm
Jennifer Hudson is the third African American woman since December 2002 to grace the cover of Vogue magazine.
I got the chance to meet Jennifer at the AEC/ASCAP luncheon at the Beverly Hilton this past Sunday morning in Los Angeles. We'll have footage of that a little later in the week.
I was working the red carpet and Jennifer was the last to come through. She was on tap to honor original Dreamgirl, Sheryl Lee Ralph for her philanthropy and commitment to AIDS prevention and awareness.
It was a quick interview. She was being dragged down the carpet by her handlers. Her quirky yet bubbly personality kept it lively. (I'm being nice here.)
She did however stop to speak with me answering questions on her new album, Oscar hoopla and having just bought her first home in Chicago.
What I did like is that Jennifer made it clear to me that there would be no movies, plays, commercials or projects that would happen before she completed her album. "I want to concentrate on my album and give it my all. You should hear something by March," she said as they pulled out of my camera shot.
Ciara Butches Up Like A Boy and... SOHH Soulful Top 5
Thursday. 2.22.07 1:26 pm
Last night Ciara's video for "Like A Boy" premiered on BET via "Access Granted."
Diane Martel who also directed "Promise" pulled together this lil video for CiCi which also features Reggie Bush of the New Orlean's Saints.
Ciara - "Like A Boy"
Joe's latest video for "If I Were Your Man" is out.
After a little bit of back and forth Joe finally decided to name his new cd Ain't Nothing Like Me. He bantered back and for between Who Is Joe? to R&B's Ambassador to finally, Ain't Nothing Like Me.
That's actually the title of one of the tracks that features Yung Joc.
I'm kinda glad he changed the name, because you don't want to have a cd titled R&B's Ambassador when you're on the same label as R. Kelly.
Ain't Nothing Like Me has been pushed back to April 24th.
The surprise in this isn't that Ray J is a grown ass man. It's not even that Ray J is bangin' some of the most desirable women in Hollywood. The surprise is the more women he bags, the more women come a calling.
Ray J loves himself some Kims!
After her line in Ray J's "Wait A Minute" forever labeled Ray J nothing but 'Brandy's brother' Lil Kim takes up with the 'all of a sudden' heartthrob.
,According to TMZ... Ray J has been flossin' Lil Kim and the puppies all throughout Hollywood-- showing up at Vibe's Pre-Oscar event.
Can make a Sprite can disappear in her mouth.
The funny thing is, Kim had to compete for attention with Ray J's new Ferrari-- bought with that cool million scored from them Kardashian sex tapes.
