BEYONCE GOES RETRO IN NEW PHOTO SHOOT?

Posted on March 31st, 2011 by ThisIsRnB in GOSSIP, PHOTOS |

Is the Beyonce machine ready to stage her return to music? The Queen B was spotted on set of a photo shoot at a grungy motel in New Jersey on Thursday (March 31) with photographer Ellen von Unwerth, who shot Rihanna’s Rated R packaging. It is unconfirmed exactly what the shoot was for, but the singer was dressed in ’70s-inspired garb.

I heard a rumor that she already had her first single ready, it is an “urban, up-tempo,” and was slated for release in two to three weeks. We know she has been in the studio heavy as of late. Could she be returning so soon, for a Fall album release date??

Follow the jump for more photo’s of Bey’s retro look. What do you think?

MUSIQ SOULCHILD – MUSIQINTHEMAGIQ (TRACKLISTING)

Posted on March 31st, 2011 by ThisIsRnB in NEWS |

Musiq has revealed the track listing for his sixth album MusiqInTheMagiq, dropping May 3. The 12-song offering includes lead single “anything” featuring Swizz Beatz, as well as the aptly-titled “single” and “silver&gold,” all spelled out in lowercase.

The Philly native explained that the record has a universal appeal. “I like this combination of songs because some of them are pushing me into a slightly different space that I haven’t really been in before,” he said. “People like to consider it crossover, more pop appeal, however not so much where I’m compromising the integrity of what people know.”

Check out the lineup and watch Musiq’s latest webisode where he discusses his influences and how his parents reared him on soul music.
