Late pass on this… missed it when I was away last week, but if you haven’t heard it yet… Burgeoning singer/songwriter Stacy Barthe has captured the attention of many R&B fans with the release of her “Sincerely Yours” EP, to some she is still unknown, and to some she is a successful songwriter for the likes of Rihanna, Katy Perry, Melanie Fiona, Estelle and more. However, the Brooklyn-bred songstress is truly starting to blossom now, and here is her newest release, a R&B, reggae infused jam titled “Keep It Like It Is.” Stacy rides the Supa Dups production with such ease, its just sweet as honey.

Big K.R.I.T. says:

“The 1st song I wanted 2 release from #4evaNaDay is called Boobie Miles. Its about over coming all the obstacles that block your dreams, the sacrifices that come with how hard you have to go to obtain your goal, giving your all no matter what the situation, the only difference between a winner N a loser is a winner plays until he wins”

Chris Brown was back in action, shooting a video for his club anthem “Turn Up the Music” on Wednesday (Feb. 1) in Los Angeles. The R&B superstar performed double duty, co-directing and starring in the dance-heavy clip, which he called his best video yet.

“I’ll let you guys judge but this Turn Up the music video hands down is probably my best video by far!!!” he told Team Breezy.

The electro-dance record, written and produced by The Underdogs and Fuego, serves as the second single from Chris’ fifth album Fortune, due this spring.
