Kim Kardashian is entering the music industry with her first single, “Shake.” Produced by the Neptunes, the heavy Auto-Tuned track sounds like leftovers from Britney Spears. Though the production is great, we’d rather she stay in her lane and continue to do what she does best. Whatever that is. Spokesperson? Socialite? UPDATE: It’s not her. […]
Jennifer Hudson has released “You Put A Move On My Heart. The single is pulled from Quincy Jones’ upcoming compilation album, “Q: Soul Bossa Nostra.” The original was sung by Mica Paris, and then again by Tamia. We love Jennifer Hudson, we do, but we’re not feeling this version. Her voice is excellent, as usual, […]

Keyshia Cole’s new single features none other than “it” girl Nicki Minaj.

It will be the second song released from Rihanna’s “Loud” album. Rihanna already filmed a video for her solo version, the original, but Drake wants to […]
As you know, HelloBeautiful is all about women: uplifting and inspiring, legendary and up-and-coming. And we were granted access to seeing some promising acts take stage, thanks to the Hennessy Artistry events going down in New York City. Don’t be surprised if you hear these names for years to come: Wynter Gordon, Erin Christine, and […]
Rihanna gets into the holiday spirit with her new Christmas song, “A Child Is Born.” However, don’t expect a traditional tune with jingle bells – Rihanna personalized the song by adding a reggae flavor. The island feel reminds of us of the Rihanna we once knew, the first one we met back in 2005 on […]
Kelly Rowland’s song “Forever Is Just A Minute Away” recently leaked. We still don’t know when her upcoming album is to be released, but we really can’t get enough of all the material we’ve been hearing. For those that are confused: this is not the same song as “Forever & A Day.” While “Forever & […]

He was seen wearing his love for the R&B trio on his T-shirt at last month’s VMA rehearsals. Remembering Lisa “Left Eye” […]
