MYA IS MISS INDEPENDENT

R&B diva Mýa may be down but she is not out of the music game. The tap dancing, D.C. native was let go by her label Motown last year. Currently, the singer is working on her 6th studio album due this summer and to be released on her own independent label, entitled Planet 9. Mýa has leaked brand new songs titled “Height Of My Love” and “Take It Back”. In spite of the fact that the she doesn't really shine on either track they are still worth a listen. You can listen to Mýa's “Take It Back” and “Height Of My Love” after the jump....

MYA IN PARADISE

Mya premiered a brand new video for her latest single ‘Paradise’ (a Japanese release only). The song is the first single to be lifted from her forthcoming album ‘Sugar & Spice’ which will be out on Dec 3rd courtesy of Manhattan records. The album will only be released in Japan, but I’m sure we’ll get a leak pretty soon. Check out the video below:

"It's something I always wanted to do; sing, dance, act and tell a story," Mya tells the Associated Press. "It's probably the ultimate complete dream for me.""I have gone through all the material with the show's musical director and everything is suited for my key," she said. "We don't have to do any transposing. It's perfect."
