    First Listen: Rihanna "Diamonds"

    September 24, 2012 /

    In anticipation of Rihanna‘s fall release, you can check out her new single “Diamonds” right now on Tragic Kingdom. The new single kicks off the seventh album from the R&B diva, who has been in out of the news lately regarding her rocky, and often times, confusing love life. If this single indicates anything, it looks like things are back on track for the singer, who’s last few records have been quite dark following the public beat down she suffered from then-boyfriend Chris Brown. Listen to the single below and pick it up on iTunes later this week.

    Kelly Clarkson’s Greatest Hits…So Far

    September 12, 2012 /

    With three chart topping singles from her latest album Stronger, a headlining spot on one of the summer’s biggest tours and a recent nomination for Best Female Vocalist by the Country Music Association (yep, that’s right – watch out Carrie), Kelly Clarkson doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.
