Well, the time has come boys & girls :o) The highly anticipated video with Lady Gaga & Beyonce will premiere Thursday, March 11th on E! News at 11:30pm. After the video premiere Lady Gagawill sit down with Ryan Seacrest and explain the video and how she out did her self again. This will be a 9min feature full of high fashion and crazy visuals. The genius behind it? Jonas Akerlund is his name, a famed music video director. I know I will DEFINITIELY be in the house at that time to see this video. They have done a superb job on keeping this under lock & key. It’s also said this “Telephone” picks up off where “Paparazzi” ended! Well, I am just TOO EXCITED!!
It was only fitting that Ms. Badu debuted her NEW single “Window Seat” on Jimmy Fallon’s show as ?uestlove (who is the drummer on the record) performs every night with The Roots. I absolutely LOVE this record! Looking forward to her new album dropping March 30th and seeing Ms. Badu on the road :o)
I loved catching the re-runs of this show! I think The Today Show is definitely winning with doing reunion’s on some of the most popular TV shows in the past. The cast has not been together since the show ended 20 years ago. Might I saw Regina King looks FAB!
All of the cast was there except for Alaina Reed (who played Rose) & Helen (who played Pearl) who have since passed.
Oh-M-Gee! Me and my girls were on the other side so we actually saw dude hit the ground! It wasn’t a pretty sight at all but Jay & Memph did not even FLINCH! Gotta love it!
Shout out to @AngryBlkManDC for capturing this CLASSIC moment..#onlyinDC LoL
*UPDATE* Here are some pictures MetromixDC captured :o)
Here is some exclusive footage that was sent to me with the popular Baltimore based DJ Class in the studio with Monica Rush. The songs they are working on are PURE FIYA I might say myself. They are titled “Drinks 4 U” and “BeatRyder”. It’s been a while since I have been into the club/dance groove, but I will definitely pick up her mixtape/album :o)

I, for one am VERY happy that Sade is the number 1 album in the world right now. The albun is just genius, very creative and artistic. I also found out that Sade is not just one person, it’s the group! Either way, Sade is one of the most influential being’s in the music business and I am glad Sade has made their return! North American tour anyone?

New York, NY – Heralded as one of this year’s most highly anticipated albums and garnering much critical acclaim, SOLDIER OF LOVE secures the # 1 album spot worldwide today with over 501,000 copies sold taking its rightful place among the collection of iconic Sade albums. SOLDIER OF LOVE marks Sade’s second album to land at # 1 on the Billboard chart - the first was in 1986 with Promise – and is the first official album release from Sade since 2000’s multi-platinum Lovers Rock which debuted with 370,000 records sold.
Not only has America welcomed Sade back with open arms after close to ten years, but worldwide, SOLDIER OF LOVE has proven to be a smash. So far the album has seen a #1 worldwide debut in territories including Canada, France and Switzerland.
Entertainment Weekly featured SOLDIER OF LOVE in their “Must List” and gave the album an “A”, Rolling Stone wrote, “it’s unimpeachably excellent,” and The Boston Globe calls it, “a rich and rewarding album.” But the accolades don’t stop there. Associated Press raved, “like a long-ago lover not quite forgotten, Sade has returned to steal our hearts with more beautiful, uncategorizable music,” Billboard was quoted as saying, “it’s been 10 years since Sade released an album, but be forewarned – the giant has awoken,” while People Magazine reminds us that “Sade remains the voice of comfort to the wounded heart.”
The accomplishments of SOLDIER OF LOVE so far are astounding. The single, “Soldier of Love” - which Sade co-produced with Mike Pela, and was written by Sade along with longtime collaborators Andrew Hale, Stuart Matthewman and Paul Spencer Denman continues to make radio history. In less than four weeks “Soldier of Love” propelled into the top five at both Urban Hot AC and Smooth Jazz radio charts, making it one of the fastest moving records of the year. The track has held the #1 spot at Urban Hot AC radio for four weeks straight and topped the Smooth Jazz chart for 2 weeks. Sade is now the first group since the Isley Brothers in 2001 to earn a #1 spot as a lead act on the R&B Chart. The intriguing and seductive video, which Sophie Muller directed is currently the # 1 most played video this month.
Sade kicked off a phenomenal TV campaign last week with appearances on BET’s 106 & Park, The Today Show, Letterman, and The View. Performances on both Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen Degeneres air this week.
Upon pre-order release at iTunes, the album immediately shot to # 1 where it still remains.
Known for their one of a kind timeless sound, Sade has enjoyed phenomenal success both internationally and stateside throughout the span of their twenty-five year career. Since the release of their debut album, Diamond Life in 1984 the band has seen all five of their studio albums land in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Top 200 Album Chart selling a total of more than 50 million albums worldwide to date. They’ve been nominated for American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards and have won three Grammy Awards – first in 1986 for Best New Artist, then in 1994 for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group for “No Ordinary Love”, and again in 2002 for Best Pop Vocal Album with Lovers Rock.
