John Legend is returning to the scene with a brand-new album called ‘Love in the Future’ and a set of upcoming concerts designed to preview the new material.
Alicia Keys is feeling hot! Hot! Hot! The R&B songbird took to her blog on Tuesday (Aug. 14) to announce the title of her new album, which is called ‘Girl on Fire.’ In her open letter to her fans, a rejuvenated Keys says she’s locked in the studio creating songs that are powerful, soulful, honest and brave.
Based on sales in its first day of release on Tuesday (July 10), Frank Ocean‘s ‘Chanenel Orange’ is expected to sell between 110,000 and 125,000 copies this week, which could be enough to take the No. 2 position on the album chart.
It’s been three years since we heard any new material from Alicia Keys. Since her hiatus, the R&B songbird became a new mom to three-year-old Egypt and is enjoying the married life with hubby Swizz Beatz. Now she’s ready to make her return to music.
Selena Gomez is excited to get back into music after wrapping three movies in 2012. The question on everyone’s lips: Will she sing about her boyfriend, Justin Bieber? After all, she does love him like a love song.
We still don’t know for certain whether Jennifer Lopez is returning to ‘American Idol‘ next season, but we do know she’s about to issue a hits collection featuring more than a dozen of the tracks that have made her one of the most celebrated dance acts in pop music.

Rappers, get ready to tuck your whole summer in. Kanye West has penciled in Aug. 7 for the release of his G.O.O.D. Music compilation ‘Cruel Summer,’ according to Rolling Stone. Pusha T revealed the release date during an interview with Hot 97 personality Funkmaster Flex.
Considering most of what we’ve heard from Lil Wayne lately has been about pulling out of concerts, creating bizarre dance moves and dealing with perceived prejudices at basketball games, it’s easy to forget he’s a pretty prolific MC. He’s reminding the world of that fact on his new album ‘I Am Not a Human Being II,’ though it’s certainly taking him long enough.
Rihanna works fast, releasing almost an album a year. It seems like every fall, a new RiRi is on the horizon. Looks like the controversial and newly tatted (with a foot falcon) pop star is already working on album No. 7 in London as we speak. She dropped ‘Talk That Talk,’ which has spawned several hits, last November and she’s ready to strike while the iron is hot again.
Usher takes some big risks on his seventh LP ‘Looking 4 Myself,’ the follow-up to his 2010 Grammy-winning album ‘Raymond v. Raymond.’ The veteran R&B mack brings his signature falsetto vocals and lays it on top of genre-bending songs — some of which are a hit and others, are a miss.
