Mariah Carey’s honorary title as “Queen of Christmas” is attributed to the colossal success of her #1 hit single, 1994’s “All I Want For Christmas is You.” However, to be honest, that song isn’t even her best Christmas song. Nope. You didn’t read wrong. In my humble opinion, Mariah Carey’s […]
During the initial weeks of quarantine in 2020, JoJo became an early leader amongst celebrities who used their platforms to keep fans entertained, and informed. Unfortunately for her, she had just kicked off an era – her fourth studio album, good to know, was slated to drop in May, and […]
They don’t call Mariah Carey the “Queen of Christmas” for any ol’ reason. Her entire holiday canon has become a market for success, and her ever growing power during the holiday season only snowballs year after year. The key to her yuletide fortune, though, is a song she wrote back […]
Like Whitney, Mariah, and Céline, Adele is a one-name artist, who needs no shock value or theatrics to entertain, but simply a microphone and a stage. With over 120 million records sold worldwide, off of three albums released across a matter of 13 years, Adele has already become one of […]

In the nearly four years between the release of her third album Mad Love and her latest album, good to know, JoJo hasn’t been sitting idly. She toured the world in support of Mad Love in 2017, and then hit the road again in 2018 with the Leaks, Covers and Mixtapes Tour, on which […]
At 4:15 P.M. today, J. Cole tweeted a surprise announcement: “No Phones, No Cameras, No Bags, No Press Lists, No Guess Lists” with a place and a time – Gramercy Theatre, NYC, 6 P.M. I had just walked out of work, and immediately set my GPS to the Gramercy. No […]
If this is Spicy, so is BBQ sauce. After creating a strong buzz in the fall with “Took Us A Break”, Lil’ Kim fails to keep the fire going on “Spicy”. She’s joined for the first time by fellow NYC legend Fabolous. The two cut the track barely a week […]
