It seems as though Joss Stone has gotten her label situation worked out as she just dropped a brand new single entitled “Free Me.” I actually really like this record, but I can’t seem to give it the amount of play it needs because the only think coming out of my speakers right now is Memoirs…. In any case, I think Joss is going to have success with this record because its vintage throwback feel is certainly unmatched right now considering what all is being played on the radio.

Love muffins, what do you think? Jam it? Or slam it?

I honestly have no idea what’s going on with Jojo’s album. She recently filed a lawsuit against her label asking for $500,000 and to be released from her contract due to the fact that her label can’t seem to get their stuff together so she can release her seriously delayed All I Want Is Everything album. Anyways, a brand new track surfaced online called “You Take Me (Around The World)” and it samples Daft Punk’s “Around The World.” I absolutely love this song. I don’t know why Jojo is still so underrated because she’s super duper talented.

Listen to the track below!

This is the second release from Madonna’s upcoming greatest hits compilation, Celebration. The double disc feature has 36 songs, all remastered versions of her old hits & a few new tracks. “Revolver” sounds too much like Britney’s “Radar” for my liking, and Lil Wayne doesn’t really add too much to the track. About 4 demos of the track have leaked over the last year or so and the final version isn’t much better. In all honesty, I can’t say that I’m really feeling this song.

What do you think? Do we jam it? Or slam it?

Alicia Keys is slated to drop a new album this November and now we have the official first single. “Doesn’t Mean Anything” is beautiful! I can’t tell you if this is going to be a huge radio smash or not, but what I can tell you is how wonderful it is to have new music from Alicia. She sounds absolutely amazing and I can’t wait for her new album to drop!

Amidst all of the VMA drama a new Beyoncé track hit the net yesterday called “Control.” I’m sure it’s a left over from one of the recording sessions and I can definitely see why I didn’t make the cut for whichever album. The Stargate duo is responsible for the production and while it’s a good song, it’s just not album material.
