Bajan singer Shontelle visited Fuse TV Top 20. She chats with Fuse host Allison Hagendorf before the taping. The singer bursted on the music sceene with “T-shirt” and has since returned to the Billboard charts with “Impossible”. Her sophomore album No Gravity is set to release in the US and UK late September. Love the shoes and the ensemble — the hair, not so much. (Photo and video coutesy of Shontelle Online)

Super excited for today’s album release (both I’ll be downloading from iTunes, please support good music). The highly anticipated Distant Relatives from Nas an Damian Marley. I’ve been ignoring all the pre-leaks so that I can enjoy the full album in its entirety.
Janelle Monae’s The Arch Android also drop, I love her eclectic sound and “Tightrope” is one of my favorite songs right now, so I’m excited to hear more material from her this time around.

Drake’s “Find Your Love” premiered on radio just a few weeks after, but now we know what he was doing in Jamaica. Mavado makes a cameo as “the badman”. Pretty sure you can figure how it ends.
Gyptian is steady climbing up the Billboard charts with “Hold Yuh”. Nothing special about the video, but love the song none the less.
Alicia Keys delivers a great video concept with “Unthinkable” featuring Chad Michael Murray as her love interest. I love that the message of interracial relationships crossing various time periods.
Diddy & ‘em Dirty Money release a video for “Hello, Goodmorning”, but it’s a huge yawn.

R&B Songstress Melanie Fiona’s latest’s video “Ay Yo” from her debut album The Bridge.

New music is in overdrive. Here’s a sneak peak of some of the S&V favorites this week.
The “Hold You” phenomenon continues! Check out the remix from rapper Lou$tar featuring Shalea.
Cosa Nostra Riddim, simply hot! Produced by Ward 21 featuring Assassin, Timbeerlee and much more.
Sade can do no wrong, and neither can Tarrus Riley, great remix to “Soldier of Love”.

The Distant Relatives album from Damian Marley and Nas is coming along quite nicely, the latest leak is a remake of the late Dennis Brown’s Promise Land

Remember Oliva (Bizounce, Candy Shop)? She was the first artist signed to J Records, later signed to G-Unit. The talented singer, songwriter, who has yet to reach her full potential is in the studio working on a new release and linked up with Sean Kingston on a new record.

Usher officially released his video for “Lil Freak” featuring Nicki Minaj from his album Raymond vs. Raymond in stores now. Cameo from Ciara. I think he should have left out the short dance segment, but what do you think?

Bajan R&B/Pop singer Shontelle is back with a sexed up single title “Licky”. Pretty catchy, but I’m not really feelin’ it. It seems like a forced pop song that may get lost on the charts.

The blogosphere was buzzing yesterday about Rihanna writing a book titled The Last Girl on Earth. No real details about the book’s content, just a release date of June 26th. You can pre-order a copy on Amazon. I’m sure the book will sell, but I’m not sure I’ll be running to get the first copy. I think she’s had typical island girl upbringing, she’ll probably touch on her past, obviously her relationship with Chris Brown, but other than than I’m not sure she has a substantial story to tell. Maybe she’s doing it for the young girls that look up to her, she received a lot of slack from fans and the media for initially going back to Chris after the incident. Would you buy the book? Or wait ’til your local library gets a copy? (Yes. Libraries still do exist!)
