NEW MUSIC: SWV - I Missed Us (Album Sampler)!



R&B is back.


Sisters With Voices were the 90's biggest R&B girl group and after a 15 year hiatus, they are back to what they do best and have given us their new album 'I Missed Us'.


This SWV album sampler shows you just how good they are and what real rhythm and blues music truly is. With Coko's voice serenading the beats and sweet harmonies Taj and Lelee to follow, this is a serious winner. The album which is now available to pre-order will be released on April 17th. 


I will surely be purchasing this album as it is amazing. Listen to the 19 minute preview below and let me know what you think.


NEW VIDEO: Vince Kidd - Like A Virgin/You And Me (SB:TV A64)!

If you have been keeping up to date with Dark Days & Bright Nights then you would of probably seen an article on Vince Kidd some time last year as he was one of my ones to watch.

His come a long way in such a short time and he has caught every body's attention with his style and voice. During the weekend, the young South Londoner was on the TV show The Voice. Mentors Jessie J, Will.I.Am, Tom Jones and The Script front man Danny O'Donoghue all turned their chairs round for the Kidd  (no surprise there). In the end Vince chose to be on Jessie J's team.

What do we expect from him now? Well this is just the beginning of a beautiful career that's about to blossom and I am eagerly waiting to see what he will bring us during and after the show. Here's two video's from SB:TV. Watch it and let me know your thoughts.

NEW VIDEO: Rihanna Laughs At Nipple Slip Pictures!

Last night Rihanna laughed at the pictures where her nipples were on show and blamed it on the camera flash.

Rihanna kept silent on the matter while us bloggers and press had a field day. TMZ caught up with her last night in Los Angeles, when a fan asked her about her faux pas she replied back with 'You mean my titties?' she asked before saying with a smile: 'You come up with the flash man'.

Maybe that was just it. The top weren't really that see-through and the flash brought everything out on show. It could of been a mistake. Either way we wont know. Watch the video below.

SNAP: Rihanna Has Lost The Plot!

I have no idea what is going on in Rihanna's head at the moment. From her controversial tweets to her latest shock tactics.


The Bajan singer stepped out on the streets of NYC in a top that showed a lot more than it was supposed too. Not only did she wear this ensemble on the streets but she went to her favourite restaurant De Silvano looking like a hot mess. 


The only time I remember an artist doing crazy things like this is when Britney Spears had a melt down. Is this RiRi's cry for help? Who knows, but if she carries on this way, lord knows what she may be labelled as next.

NEW VIDEO: Mz Bratt - SB.TV F64!

Mz Bratt has come hard at these rumours and so called friends with her debut F64 on SB.TV.


I don't think I will ever be a fan of the female MC but she has out done herself in this F64. Lyrically this is amazing, but is her flow great? No it isn't. Right now I just want to point out that may be Bratt should become a writer. Seems like this is her destiny. 


If you think I'm exaggerating then watch the video below and let me know what you think.

NEW VIDEO: Melody Thornton - Lipstick & Guilt!

Former Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton has released a short but very effective music video of her debut single 'Lipstick & Guilt'.


The 1 minute and 41 second long visual shows how much the singer has been held back and why she should of been used more before. 'Lipstick & Guilt' is a remake of Jay Z and Kanye West's 'No Church In The Wild' which is from her upcoming mixtape P.O.Y.B.L (Piss On Your Black List).


Watch the video below and let me know what you think.

NEW VIDEO: Plan B - Ill Manors!

Plan B has been off the radar for a while since the release of his debut album The Defamation of Strickland Banks. Now he has returned back to his rapping roots and released his new, controversial single 'ill Manors'.


The single, which is from the upcoming movie 'Ill Manors' debuts the rapper/singers directorial skills. A hard-hitting song which is aimed at the 'working class' is already said to have touched a lot of people's nerves. If something has an effect then it must be true.


Watch the video below and let me know what you think.

Tulisa - 'He Thinks I'm A Chick With A D**k'!

X-Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos has taken to twitter to rant about the rumours that her and TOWIE star Mark Wright's so called relationship.


Tulisa was reported to have slept with Mark Wright when they met up in Miami earlier this month, but she has labelled the rumours as "sick" and "disgusting".


The singer tweeted; 'I have sumthin 2 say 2day... 1.people make me sick the things they do 4 cash,disgustin.2.why am I meant 2 b bangin every guy Im seen with?'

'3.I have DEFFINITELY NOT shagged mark wright and I can swear that on my uncle B's GRAVE!.4if the press r so bloody interested...'

'...In my love life!& their guna keep makin out I'm shaggin every bloke I meet till they have sumin 2 write about! GUESS WHAT...'

'I am seeing some1!!cus Im a bloody human being!& it gets better!..he is not mark wright!& 4 the record mark is not my type & nor me his..' 

'In fact he thinks Im a chick with a dick. & like my men a bit ruff around the edges!write that!middle finger is up..twit rant is over,thanks'

A new relationship already? 2 months after her split with long time boyfriend and N-Dubz band mate Fazer. As much as people want to call Tulisa a 'chav' and what not, I'm sure we can all admit to ourselves that Mark Wright is definitely not her type. There will be plenty of rumours like this to come as Tulisa is hot property. 

In other news, I have heard that her solo album is near enough finished and its sounding great. Hopefully we will get to hear the music very soon.

NEW VIDEO: Alexandra Burke - Talk That Talk (Rihanna Cover)!

Everybody who knows me or follows me on twitter will by now know that I am far from an Alexandra Burke fan. I'm a fan of her vocals but its the music she releases that makes me cringe.


Burke's VEVO channel have posted up a video of her performing an acoustic cover of Rihanna's 'Talk That Talk'. You would think covering an edgy urban pop song might make Alexandra Burke sound amazing right? Wrong. Yes vocally it is better than Rihanna but at points its flat and Rihanna gives it a certain 'swag' to the song which is what we love.


I wonder when will Alexandra Burke get a break? Out of all the Rihanna songs, 'Talk That Talk' is the least memorable one and this cover by Burke will be forgotten about just like her career may be soon.


Watch the video below and let me know what you guys think.

NEW VIDEO: Nina Sky - Day Dreaming

Nina Sky have been missing for a very long time and a couple of days ago, the twin sisters have premiered their new music video for the mid-tempo 'Day Dreaming' from the new titled album Nicole & Natalie, which is due in July.


Director Adam Saurmilch shows the twin sisters being in the same relationship but encountering two different outcomes. I love the video. aside from the fact that they both look very different, the concept and the whole visuals itself is just amazing. Nicole represented the bad side where there was arguments and upset in the relationship while her sister Natalie represented the good, happy and all rosey side of the relationship.


Nina Sky have had plenty catchy songs over the years but have been on the quite side recently. I'm looking forward to what they have to offer us in the summer. Watch the video below and let me know what you think.



SNAP: Rihanna And Kim Kardashian's Raunchy Pictures!

Amazing how the public perceive one thing one way and another differently.


We all know that 'We Found Love' singer Rihanna is always tweeting and posting pictures of herself half naked or in some skimpy clothing. Last night was no different as she tweeted a picture which probably got a lot of male hearts racing.


The 24 year old wore a fishnet two-piece bikini with a tiny denim hot pants and some long stripper boots. She was doing a shoot with Esquire magazine and was trying on some garments. One male heart that was probably racing is Chris Brown's. The pair have recently put their differences aside and even featured on both their tracks despite many fans being so against their newly friendship.


On the flip side. Big bottomed Kim Kardashian has also posted a picture of herself on twitter last night wearing a gym crop top with no make up on with the caption: 'Sweatpants hair tie chillin with no make up on!'.


Believe it or not, fans were outraged by this behaviour and Kim Kardashian was accused of showing off her body. A month ago, the 31 year old tweeted a picture which she claimed to show off her new hairstyle, but was topless with just a bra showing.


So what's the difference between Rihanna tweeting a picture of herself barely covered and Kim Kardashian doing the same? I am currently bemused by the public and fans. Surely people can not be that hypocritical? If anything, RiRi's picture's are usually more jaw dropping than Kim K's are but still that has people treating certain things different.

NEW VIDEO: Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are (Brit Awards Performance)!

By far the best vocalist of the night, pint-sized Bruno Mars performed his hit 'Just The Way You Are' and walked away with International Male Solo Artist.


Bruno Mars puts that extra little effort into all of his performances and I love watching him show many artist how your supposed to sing live. His performance was on a class of its own. His win certainly makes up for the fact that he didn't receive any gongs at The Grammy's.


On winning the Brit Award, he promised his fans that the second album is on its way. 'Just The Way You Are' received a big band make-over and his Johnny Bravo hair seemed to of got bigger than what we last saw. Watch the performance below and let me know what you think.

NEW VIDEO: Rihanna - We Found Love (Brit Awards Performance)!

Last night at the Brit Awards, the sensational Rihanna took to the stage to perform her number one hit 'We Found Love'. Was it an amazing performance? No. Was it her fault? No.


Brit Awards have certainly let down the viewers and Rihanna. Every time the singer was dancing the camera zoomed out and cut away to her one million dancers and the the audience. We didn't get to see the Bajan singer do a single move other than the willy bounce. So thank you Brit Awards camera people for your crap editing and deprivation of a worthy good performance.


This wasn't as good as The Grammy's but it was by far the best of the night. Rihanna was named International Female Solo Artist for the second time running. Just the other day, RiRi released a remix to her upcoming single 'Birthday Cake' which features her ex-hubby Chris Brown. The video will be filmed in London on Saturday. Will it feature Breezy in it? I doubt it highly as his not allowed in the UK yet.


Watch the 'We Found Love' LIVE performance below and let me know what you think.

SNAP: Rita Ora Dresses Risque!

London at the moment is crazy and fashionable due to it being London Fashion Week. Anyone who's anyone will be looking to attend the runway shows dressed in something that may be different or stand out and singer Rita Ora is no exception.


The Roc Nation artist turned up dressed in a sheer, black maxi-skirt to Topshop's 2012 collection show to which her underwear was visible. She teamed up the skirt with a white shirt that showed off her midrif, large black shades and red lips.


Whats the big deal about this outfit? Nothing but that Rita Ora looks fabulous in it. Us Brits tend to make a big deal when we see a bit of skin and to be frankly fair, she isnt walking around in a skin tight, nude catsuit like the one Jessie J wore to The Brits Nomination Party last month. Now that was something to gasp at.


Rita had every reason to smile as her and DJ Fresh are #1 with their dubstep track 'Hot Right Now'. Other than that, the 21 year old is said to be dating Rob Kardashian who supposedly came down to London last weekend to support his 'girlfriend'. Now if that isnt something to smile about then I dont know what is.

Rihanna And Chris Brown Remixes!

Rumours are crazy and one of the most ridiculous things we've heard this year was Rihanna was going to feature Chris Brown on the remix of 'Birthday Cake'. We thought it was ridiculous, until now that is.


Not only did we get the remix featuring her ex-boyfriend Breezy, but he himself surprised us with a remix of his new single 'Turn Up The Music' which features Rihanna. A double whammy. I am so confused as to what to think of the situation.


Both remixes are absolutely great and I love it both. Then again, Rihanna and Chris Brown's music is always going to be amazing to me. My only concern is for Breezy's current girlfriend Karrueche. I wonder what she thinks of all this? Actually does anyone even care for what she thinks?


Listen to both remixes of 'Birthday Cake' and 'Turn Up The Music' and let me know what you think.

Best Whitney Houston Tributes!

The beloved diva that is Whitney hasn't been gone for long and already she has had many tributes from celebs and fans from all around the world.

Out of so many choices I have decided to pick only 5 covers who I thought were amazing.







Lean Rimes performs 'I Will Always Love You' during one of her gigs in Reno. She sounds amazing even though she gets teary towards the end of the video.



Glee cast Amber Riley (Mercedes) is known for having a powerful voice and her version of 'I Will Always Love You' shows just how much of a great vocalist she is.



Eden Rush, I'm not so sure whether this is just a soloist or a female group but their rendition of 'I Will Always Love You' is amazing and I had to add this to my top 5 especially as Eden Rush is/are British. 



The moment that it was announced that there would be a tribute for Whitney Houston at The Grammy's, only one name came to mind and that was the sensational Jennifer Hudson who blew the house down with her version of 'I Will Always Love You'.



Ashanti has been away for a while but her version of Whitney Houston's 'I Have Nothing' reminds us how much of a sweet voice she has.

SNAP: Adele Covers Vogue!

After a stunning performance at The Grammy's last night, Adele is now on the cover of Vogue magazine's March issue and does she look amazing.


Although she looks mature beyond her 23 years, the Brit-pop singer has stunning features. The 'Rolling In The Deep' singer bagged herself six Grammy's including Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Album Of The Year. This was her first televised performance since undergoing her throat surgery. And what a performance it was.


Her latest album '21' has broken records and I have a feeling that after last night it will do alot more. It was #1 in the US charts for 19 non-consecutive weeks. Only other album that did better was Usher's Confessions album and that got Diamond.


Check out some of the pictures of Adele in next months Vogue.

Whitney Houston Dies At 48!

The legend that is Whitney Houston has died at the age of 48, her publicist Kristin Foster has announced.

The cause and location of her death is still to be confirmed but rumours are said that the singer was at Clive Davis's pre-Grammy party and was found dead in the bathroom by Ray J who she was reported to be dating.

On Thursday Whitney attended Kelly Price and Friends pre-Grammy party where she was supposedly not looking well. She even took to the stage to perform with Kelly Price. A performance that would be her last.


Twitter has been flooded with lovely messages from fans and fellow artists such as Laurie-Ann Gibson, Mariah Carey, Tyrese and Rihanna are just many of the shocked celebrities tweeting.

Whitney Houston has had amazing hits with music and film. She has left behind a legacy that we will all cherish and remember for the rest of our lives. Yes, towards the final years of her life she may have not been great due to drugs and so on but that's something I choose to not remember her for.

Let us all send our love and condolences to the whole of the Houston family. R.I.P Whitney Houston. I will always love you.
