Rihanna – U Da One (Premiere)
Troubled singer Rihanna premiered her music video for her 2nd single “U Da One” off her album, Talk That Talk. TTT has managed to sell only 320K units after 4 weeks on the charts, despite the fact that Rihanna has over 10 million followers on the social networking website Twitter.com.
The Melina-directed video is more of the same from Rihanna, slutty imagery juxtaposed with elementary lyrics backed by a simplistic track, and Rihanna’s dependency on pot (see screen grab above).
New Music: Ciara – “Swim” & “Be Out”
Singer Ciara finds herself in the best position of her career. Rihanna’s latest studio effort bricked, and Beyonce had to fake a pregnancy to boost interest in her fading career. Those two vacancies leaves the door open for Ciara to reclaim her dominance in the R&B/pop scene. Today, the 26-year-old budding superstar dropped two tracks from her upcoming as-yet-untitled album on Epic records titled “Swim” and “Be Out”. The latter track is album filler, but “Swim” boasts a catchy, upbeat track that should appeal to her teeny bopper audience. Welcome back Ciara!

Sneak Peek: Cassie – King of Hearts
Bad Boy/Interscope Records released the official trailer for Cassie’s long-awaited single titled “King Of Hearts”. Lol, I’m joking about the ‘long-awaited’ part. She’s still trying. Bless her heart. The video looks like a teenage boy’s wet dream. This blogger put it best when he wrote: “This looks like a commercial for a new Trojan Condom.”

Beyonce’s baby bump absent from latest music video, “Party”
Earlier tonight, BET premiered Beyonce’s latest music video, “Party”. Missing from the much-hyped music video (and the song) is Andre 3000, aka Dre of Outkast. In his place is newcomer J. Cole, who doesn’t quite measure up vocally to Dre 3K. Also missing from the video is any hint of Beyonce’s notorious baby bump.
Oh, of course her Stans will repeat the tired excuse that Bey filmed this video months ago — before she started showing. But if that’s the case, did she know ahead of time that she was going to be pregnant? Because it seems like she’s filmed all of her videos in a short span of time, the way T.I. did before he went off to prison earlier this year.
The music video features cameos by younger sibling Solange, Kelly Rowland, and the aforementioned Roc Nation artist J. Cole.
