Well, this is a treat. It’s been a while since Nicole Scherzinger has blessed the small screen with a live performance, but she made up for lost time on last night’s (March 23) episode of The Late Late Show With James Corden. The PCD legend belted out Sia’s “Never Give Up”— complete with an a cappella introduction and Indian shimmy. Which song? The Lion soundtrack ballad hasn’t really been pushed stateside, but it was a huge hit across Europe and Australia. After Nicole’s stunning rendition, it might get a belated burst of attention. This performance is the latest indication that the 38-year-old is ready to resume her…

If ya dun kno, eh, last weekend ‘twas an OVO East Side ting, eh. More Life, eh? As it turns out, Drake is still pretty popular, once again shattering streaming records on the back of his 22-track playlist behemoth, which was released last Saturday night (March 18). He’s also popular enough to send listeners scrambling to Google for the meanings behind a few key terms from the album, namely, track titles “Blem” and “Gyalchester,” and Giggs, the featured guest on two additional tracks. Taking a look at this extremely scientific graph, courtesy of Google Trends, we can see that on March 18, at approximately 5 p.m. EST, very few people…

Every now and again, the stars align and everything falls effortlessly into place. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for Nelly Furtado’s underrated 5th LP. The Spirit Indestructible suffered from unexplained delays, label drama and a hodgepodge of producers trying to stamp their sound on the project. The English-language follow-up to Loose might have suffered from a lack of cohesion, but certainly not a willingness to experiment. Take the lead single, “Big Hoops (Bigger The Better).” Produced by Rodney Jerkins, Nelly’s ode to out-sized jewelry and self-esteem was at least five years ahead of its time. “I’m going down, I’ve got my big hoops on,” the Canadian pop…

Just when you thought Bruno Mars’ latest single «That’s What I Like» couldn’t get any hotter, PartyNextDoor decided to put his spin on the track — and it’s absolute fire. As soon as the remix starts, PND jumps in and delivers lines as smooth as Mars’ («Let’s hit Miami, Biscayne / Might let you change your name for the night»), even showing off some falsetto to add to the suaveness. Although he lets Mars take the chorus, PartyNextDoor still adds a little flair with some nice «oohs.» With Mars’ song is giving Ed Sheeran’s chart-topping «Shape of You» a run for its money on the…

It’s been nearly four years since John Mayer released his most recent full-length album, Paradise Valley. Fortunately for Mayer’s fans, the wait for new music is over April 14, when The Search for Everything — which he has teased with two «waves» so far — drops in full. In those first two waves of new material, Mayer has released eight tracks, three of which reveal something pretty personal about the 39-year-old: He’s not totally over Katy Perry. If titles «Still Feel Like Your Man,» «You’re Gonna Live Forever in Me» and «Moving On and Getting Over» aren’t indicative enough that Mayer is feeling a sense of regret over a past…

It looks like he’s done it again — Drake has managed to send the internet into a frenzy with his release of new music. Shortly after dropping his 22-track playlist, More Life, on March 18, Drizzy reportedly set Google ablaze with searches of his newfound lingo, according to Mashable.

News came Tuesday (March 21) that Ed Sheeran added the writers of TLC’s «No Scrubs» to the credits of his current Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit «Shape of You.» Since the Sheeran’s song’s release, the pre-chorus («Boy, let’s not talk too much/ Grab on my waist and put that body on me») has been scrutinized over comparisons to the 1999 hit for its similar lyrical rhythm («No, I don’t want no scrubs/ A scrub is a guy that can’t get no love from me»). In turn, Sheeran validated the similarity by adding «No Scrubs» co-writers Kandi Burruss and Tameka «Tiny» Colette, of the…
