Time for some good news/bad news. Let’s start with the bad. B.O.B.’s album “Strange Clouds” has been pushed back to May 1st. To hold the fans over though, he will release a new single called ‘So Good’ on Valentine’s Day.

Brandy and Monica are back in the forefront of music with their recent collaborative reunion. The R&B vocalists linked up at Thursday’s rehearsals for Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy Gala at the Beverly Hilton, where they performed their 1998 classic “The Boy Is Mine” and new duet “It All Belongs to Me.” Even Whitney Houston showed up to lend her support ahead of Saturday’s big event honoring Sir Richard Branson.

Afterwards, they sat down with legendary music executive Clive Davis to discuss reuniting after 14 years, their new Rico Love-produced song, and upcoming albums.

Brandy’s as-yet-untitled RCA/Chameleon Records debut is due in May, featuring production from Frank Ocean, Sean Garrett, and Love. “It’s just gonna be a different album, but of course expressing the love that I feel now and the struggles and the different situations that I’ve gone through in the past,” said the R&B singer, who also plans to record a song from Drake.

Monica shared details about her seventh album New Life, due April 10. “New Life is just a representation of me accepting that the things of my past just set me up to be able to embrace what’s for my future,” she told Rap-Up TV. “I’m happy with where I am and I have to embrace my new life to remain that way.”

One collaboration you can expect is with Wale. “Wale is a dear friend of mine, so we’re like brother and sister and he came in and did a record with myself and Rico Love,” revealed Mo. “So I was able to do something different and reach into a different place, singing my falsettos.” via Rap-Up.

If you follow this site daily then you will remember our post for this song last weekend. This record, “No Strings Attached” is a funky, permiscuous track from burgeoning singer/songwriter Stacy Barthe’s brand new EP “In The InBetween.” While we provided a stream of the song, which appears on the EP by Stacy solo, the Brooklyn bred songstress unvealed this alternate version featuring modern soulman, and Stacy’s new label boss, John Legend. We highly suggest you head over to iTunes and pick up the EP, but you can have this track free of charge. Enjoy!
