Ms. Braxton is finally (and officially) back! After many leaked songs, a proper first single saw the light yesterday (no pun intended). The track sounds like a Ryan Tedder track (it could’ve easily been a Leona Lewis’ single). Her voice is stronger than the hard-hitting drums. This is definitely one of the best comeback singles this year (it and Whitney’s Million Dollar Bill).
PS: This post is dedicated to Abdullah at p0ach.

Well, well, well. What a week for Ms. Jackson’s fans. Where to start? Let’s see:
MTV VMAs
Janet Jackson is opening the night with a tribute to her late bother, a performance that is set to bring down the house. Some of the dancers included go back as far as the Control era. Above is the VMAs promo regarding Janet’s performance.
Bazaar
Janet Jackson has opened up for the first time since Michael passed away. You can read Bazaar’s exclusive interview on their website here. You’ll find out that she: 1. Finished filming the sequel to Tyler Perry’s No.1 box office smash Why Did I Get Married?, aptly titled Why Did I Get Married Too. 2. Finished writing a diet/self-esteem book called True You. 3.

My very dear friend Abdullah over at Khaleejesque wrote an excellent and very thorough summation of the upcoming Fall TV shows. Featuring both new and returning shows, including everybody’s favorites (Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, Dexter, and many more). Here is the link to his article, and here’s a YouTube playlist I made of all of the mentioned shows’ promos, excluding 30 Rock, cause I couldn’t find a promo/trailer for the upcoming season.

I’ve written about it here, but now the real thing has leaked, full HQ and all. To be honest I hated it at first, but it has tendency to stick in one’s mind, some 10 listens or so, I like it. Long story short, it’s a grower.
I hope she has better things up her sleeve. Get it girl.

First of all, giving thanks where thanks is due. I’m very privileged to have been provided with a copy of this new software by my very dear friend Abdullah over at p0ach from his Snow Leopard Family Pack. It took 57 minutes to be exact to install it, with two restarting-points during the installation.
I haven’t put it through a lot to really tell the difference yet, but so far so very good, the dock icons look sharper and cleaner, the right click option on said icons is now a dark-tinted/transparent one, looks sexier. Apart from all the outside gloss and makeovers, the system runs smoothly, it is notably faster, the applications load quicker, and according to Abdullah it immediately frees up 5GB.
If you’re a Mac user, go for it without thinking twice.

Artist: Whitney Houston
Album: I Look To You
Release date: August 28
Label: Arista
After a 7-year hiatus, Whitney Houston is back with I Look To You. I will try and make this review focus more on the music than on the person, even tough it’s hard. But, we all know the story from the debut to the breakdown and break-up.

Song: Think Of You
Artist: A Fine Frenzy
Album: One Cell In The Sea
Genre: Indie-Pop
In short: A sad tale of love gone wrong. Alison Sudol’s (her real name) heart-breaking lyrics (“Just to put your mind at ease, you don’t own me anything/you paid me well in memories”) will definitely get to you. This song works better in winter.

No, Girls Aloud aren’t breaking up, they’re still very intact. But, the sexiest of the sexiest is set to unleash her solo single this week. “Fight For This Love” is the title. The song has been described as the ani-Xenomania (Girls Aloud’s producers) by Popjustice, There are no words out about the producers, it has all been very hush hush. Cheryl is yet to talk about this project herself!
The single will be played during Radio 1’s Chris Moyles Breakfast show around 8AM GMT.
Cheryl’s debut album “Three Words” is set for an Oct. 2nd release.

I can’t help but love perfume ads. Maybe it’s because of the music, the hot model, or the indirect messages in said ads. Ricci Ricci is the latest in the long-running line of Nina Ricci perfumes. There was a time when I overdosed on their ciggie-tinted Memoir D’Homme cologne, too bad it’s no where to be found today.

Hot. I rarely like “official” artworks, but this works very well, practically cause it looks fan made.

Here’s the official artwork for Carrie’s upcoming album, I didn’t know she was releasing an album this year. The cover is boring, just like all of her previous album, but luckily this time it’s not all yellow.
The album is set for a November 3rd release date.

Artist: Katharine McPhee
Song: Had It All
Release date: August 25
Label: Verve Records
Back in the game again, American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee is set to release her sophomore album Unbroken this October. Things are all different this time around, first of all Katharine is blonde, and more importantly the sound she opted for is completely different to everything found on her debut LP. One main reason is that the genius John Alagia (John Mayer, Jason Mraz) helped produce and perfect the forthcoming album. Katharine was released of her contract with RCA after dissatisfying album sales, which gave her more freedom to evolve as an artist and record the material she wanted to record. It is crystal clear that she left the R&B-fused and over-produced pop days well behind her. The lead single has a raw, earthy feel to it while McPhee keeps marinating her vocal prowess still. The bridge features a billowing high note that brings back her days of “Idol” to mind. If the upcoming album features more of “Had It All”, I’m sold.

Less than a year after winning the fifth series of the hit UK show The X Factor, Alexandra Burke is back on the scene with a blazing new tune. I will not talk much about the song, but all you need to know is that the song is a hard hitting uptempo number that features A LOT of sirens (sometimes annoying), and a clap along breakdown towards the end. Is it good though? Yes. Is it that good? No.

Song: I Told You So
Artist: Carrie Underwood
Album: Carnival Ride
Genre: Country
In short: A very touching song sung flawlessly by one of today’s best country singers. Underwood’s debut album is the best selling album of an American Idol contestant.

The genius director behind The Dark Knight brings you this epic sci-fi that is set to shake you up. The trailer looks more than promising, one of the best teasers I’ve seen in a long while. The music is LEGENDARY, keeps you on the edge of your bed.
Inception, out summer of 2010 stars Leo DiCaprio and the ever so lovely Marion Cotillard.
