I know it seems like Rihanna overload, but she is really hitting us something serious with this music. The new track, “So Hard”, was just premiered on NYC’s Hot 97 radio station. I think the song is fire! She is really coming with these hard-hitting anthems! Not to mention, Tricky Stewart & The Dream did the damn thing with this production. This is by far the best track I’ve heard so far from Rated R. Speaking of the album, hit the jump to see the official tracklisting.

UPDATE #2: A new unreleased track called “Bubble Pop” has been added after the jump. Apparently the track was left over from Good Girl Gone Bad and will.i.am. is responsible for the production.

UPDATE: After listening to the song a few times I’ve decided that I really like it. I love the Rihanna’s delivery and her attitude throughout the entire track. I also really appreciate how she went back to her roots with the Bajan accent. I’m super duper excited for Rated R.

Rihanna wasted no time hitting us with a second single. “Wait Your Turn (The Wait Is Ova)” is a completely different offering from RiRi. I like it…I’m not sure I love it…but it’s a nice track. I prefer “Russian Roulette”.

What do you think love muffins?

Britney Spears just premiered her brand new video for “3″ on her Twitter page and let me tell you that it’s hot! The super sexy video accompanies the hot-like-fire lead single from The Singles Collection, which is a compilation of Brit’s greatest hits (due out November 24th). She looks absolutely radiant in this video and the choreography is definitely a step from from what we’ve been seeing…but it still isn’t 100% Britney. Not to mention, she still relies heavily on her backup dancers to do the more complicated steps. Come on Brit-Brit! You’re almost there…

Hit the jump to check out the sexy clip!

UPDATE: Another new track from Ush called “Blockin” has been added for your listening pleasure!

Somebody may be in trouble this morning after two new tracks from Usher found their way to the internet. “More” is another catchy club hit produced by Red One (which sounds very similar to their previous record), while “Daddy’s Home” is a sexy, smooth, R&B track produced by The Runners. Both of these tracks give us different offerings from Usher, so I’m left wondering what the final direction of the album will be. Not to mention, both of these tracks are miles better than “Papers,” which has been confirmed as a buzz single. Raymond Vs Raymond hits stores December 8th!

Give them both a listen below & let me know which one you prefer!

Alicia Keys is set to drop her new studio album, The Element of Freedom, on December 15th. The project’s first single “Doesn’t Mean Anything” isn’t performing as well as most of us would have expected, so it’s only fitting that we now have the second single from the project. “Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart” is another mellow jam & I actually like this one a bit more than the first single. I hope it does well!
