Fantasia‘s weeks long tour is coming to an end. The R&B pop star, along with her special guest touring partner Joe, will be doing their final concerts this weekend.
Floridians can experience the show at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, on Friday, November 3rd; or at the Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville the following day, Saturday, November 4th. Tickets are still available on Fantasia‘s website.
The queen of hip-hop and R&B, Mary J. Blige, is back with new music. On Friday, October 27th, Beautiful Life Music – the imprint owned by Mary – released Still Believe In Love, a catchy, upbeat R&B tune done with rapper Vado.
The new record is accompanied by an official video, which shows both artists performing the song on a yacht in the middle of the ocean. The visuals can be viewed on MJB‘s YouTube channel, and the song can be downloaded from all digital music stores.
The rumors are indeed true! Grammy-nominated R&B singer and actor Trey Songz will be performing at the Sunscape All White Brunch Series, at Stadium East in Kingston, Jamaica, on November 5th. This is a day event that will run from 2:00pm to 8:00pm.
Trey Songz is an accomplished recording artist who was discovered by music producer Troy Taylor. He signed to Atlantic Records in 2005, and released his debut studio album – I Gotta Make It – in July of that year. The rest, as they say, is history.
Three R&B titans – Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank – have announced that they have reunited, and will be working on new music, and touring as a group under the name TGT in 2024. The magic happened at the R&B Music Experience concert in Tampa, Florida, on Friday, October 20th, where all three men were hired as solo acts.
The official announcement was made on Ginuwine‘s Instagram page, and was later shared on both Tyrese and Tanks‘ accounts. Needless to say, 2024 is going to be a great year for rhythm-and-blues.
Earlier today – Friday, October 20 – singer, songwriter, actress and model Brandy took to social media to announce that she will be putting out a Christmas album in a few weeks.
Titled Christmas With Brandy, the record is scheduled for release on November 10th. She went on to say: “I feel so blessed to be able to create an album surrounding joy, Family, love and quality divine time with the ones you love.”
Christmas With Brandy is now available for pre-order.
