September 2007 Archives

Ashanti is rockin the cover of the new King magazine.

It's days like today that remind me how old school I am. As I get ready to run down to 125th Street to get some red Egyptian musk scented oil from the African dude across from the Apollo, the new commercial for Mariah Carey's "M" fragrance comes on.

Lyfe Jennings is making a return with Change, due out in 2008.

FOR THE RECORD, SOULMAN HASN'T LOST HIS PASSION... YOU JUST CAN'T SUFFOCATE A BROTHER, THEN EXPECT HIM TO BE ABLE BREATH ON COMMAND! IT'S NOT LOST. I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IT IS.

Mary J. Blige is pulling a fast one dropping her new CD, Growing Pains, on November 27th.

SOHH it seems Michael Vick tested positive for drug use.....

J. Holiday recently spoke with SOHH Soulful about growing up a preacher's kid and how that cramped his personal style.

Since Britney backed out of a duet with her ex Justin Timberlake, the hardest working woman in show business aka Beyonce put it on her to do list.

It ain't easy being Emily, naw naw..

Diddy is so sure of himself and his new fragrance Unforgivable for women that he issue a challenge.

A lot of people were sour that Usher got married and started a family rather than focus solely on his career.

I know Mary's new single "Just Fine" was suppose to hit radio this week.

Keri Hilson got with SOHH while we were out in Vegas.

Quite a few videos have surfaced on the net including another installment of Beyonce, Alicia Keys' new joint "No One" and Nicole Scherzinger continuing to display why she is beautifully boring.

Trey Songz's long awaited cd Trey Day has been set for an October 3rd release. He and Mya have had the worst luck trying to get their albums out the door and onto the shelves.

Nicole Scherzinger is determined to stay in your face til her album drops. Since she's gorgeous as hell, I can't say I mind.

Back in July, Ashanti talked to SOHH about her role in Resident Evil 3.

[edit 6:23am] Reportedly, Mariah Carey's new cd is titled Sweet Soul Odyssey.

As we know Mimi has big music plans for us all on Dec 4th.

So it seems that Timbaland is adding the title of actor to his resume.

Ne-Yo just dropped the third video from his CD Because of You and I wonder if it's going to get peeps interested in his album again.

If you've wondered what Laurie Ann formerly of "Making the Band" has been up to...

Keyshia Cole had a listening session here in NYC last night for her new CD Just Like You.

A while back Ne-Yo went public with the fact that he gave songs he wrote for Britney Spears to the Pussycat Dolls.

Word on the street is that Mario still has plans to drop GO! in late October.

Raheem DeVaughn had a listening session down in Atlanta for his forthcoming CD Love Behind the Melody.

Since speaking with Britney is quite like looking at her -- confusing-- SOHH got with some of the industry heads called upon to give her a hit album.

Like JR Rotem for instance

Bow Wow and Omarion leaked a track from their forthcoming cd, Face Off.

Last week another video of Jennifer Hudson and her 'pal' James showed up online.

According to USA Today, Mary J. Blige is dropping a new CD on November 20th...

It's hot in Vegas... so why was Lloyd rocking all this leather in 100 degree weather as he promotes his new single and video, "Player's Prayer."

R. Kelly's newest video from Double Up has him partying like a rock star alongside Kid Rock and Ludacris.

All that hoopla being made around Amy Winehouse possibly singing the new theme to the next installment in the 007 series was in vain.

SOHH Soulful caught up with one of our favorites, Lloyd, at the BMI Awards in Vegas.

Timbaland recently sat down with Sway from MTV News to discuss Britney Spears throwing away her recording session in which she was to record a duet with Justin Timberlake.

Will.I.Am is all over MySpace pimpin his new CD via some exclusive in studio video. In the webisodes he previews the new CD and talks about the NEW GROUP he is forming. Supposed one of the members is like Janet Jackson in the making and the rest of them are fergalicious.

While Kelly Rowland is flossing her video for "Ghetto" featuring Snoop. Beyonce is busy building ghettos in low income area of Houston.

Poor thing....

As promised, Soulful will be covering fashion. Check out and support the coverage provided by SOHH's new fashion blogger Najwa Moses.

"Idyllic4u Street Couture is a chaotic Jazzy episode, wild with layers of colors goaled towards expression," says Karen Brown about the mood and feel of her avant-garde collection.

Omarion is in that new reggaeton movie produced by Jennifer Lopez. The movie produced a single called "Cut Off Time" featuring Kat De Luna. Check out the video for Omarion and Kat's new single:

But wait... there's more.

MTV banned Diddy's new ads for the fragrance Unforgivable.

Wyclef is back at SONY after a stint at J Records.

Kanye has new video out and like everyone else he is realizing T-Pain's 'hit' making ability.

Rihanna kicked off the "Tyra" show's first episode in it's New York City studios.

After Britney Spears made a fool of herself on the 2007 MTV VMA's, the news team must have made a split decision to allow Janet Jackson news to be covered on the network.

In this installment of Word 4 Word.... T-Pain and Melyssa Ford exchange words.

Jennifer Hudson has signed on to star in the upcoming Sex and the City movie.

We've been waiting on Kelly Rowland's follow up to "Like This" for a while now.

By now the entire world has seen at least a snippet of Britney Spears' performance from last night's MTV VMAs.

By now you've hit all your favorite blogs looking for the MTV performances and commentary about who did what, had on what and said what....

Mya is trooper. When bloggers received a memo stating that her CD Liberation being moved from it's September 18th release date and change to "TBD", many people thought this most recent false stat was the end of that project.

We've all heard the mediocre attempt by Nicole Scherzinger to pimp Sean Garrett, T.I. and Polow Da Don on "Whatever U Like."

En Vogue, one of the first engineered girl groups in my recollection never reached their full potential as a group. Back in the day, everyone blamed that damned Dawn Robinson. She wrecked En Vogue, she wrecked Lucy Pearl and now she looking to wreck shop with a new reality show.

Lemme first say Diddy is a friend to the room. But let me also say... if this is really him on this video buying E pills or any other illegal drug then Kim Porter needs sole custody and about 10 more million a year. But if this is a misunderstanding then.... YAY BAD BOY!

Jagged Edge is pimping Baby Making Project-- their newest CD on Island Def Jam.

Just when you thought you'd saved enough money for an iPhone, you realize it's time to go back to the drawing board, 'cause.... tadaaaa here comes the damn iPod Touch.

I posted some of my own clips of Justin Timberlake's concert at Madison Square Garden a while back. Now that it's aired on HBO, you can really see what its like to see homeboy do his thing in convert.

Mya spoke exclusively with Soulman about industry politics and being compared to Beyonce when facing challenges with her label.

Beyonce celebrated her 26th birthday with a concert in Los Angeles, which was also taped for her DVD, live album project coming out by Xmas.

SOHH's Player Watch spotlights Wardell Malloy, Director of Writer/Publisher Relations for BMI.

Lil Bow Weezy, who will probably be more know for his cash than his cadence has a video on the internet of his pool party.

Jock itch?

Chili from TLC is jockin on them....

Fantasia showed up on "MTV Cribs" this week.
