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....

JAZMINE SULLIVAN HAS BIG DREAMS

Although Jazmine Sullivan just recently released a video for "Lions, Tigers and Bears" from her debut album, Fearless. She manages to deliver another hot video, which happens to be one of my favorites off her album. “Dream Big” is the Philly native's 4th single and features Missy Elliott on the track. Check out the video below.


NOW SEE THIS: JAMIE FOXX

What do Forest Whitaker, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ron Howard & Samuel L. Jackson have in common? They're all in the new Jamie Foxx video for "Blame It ft. T-Pain"! You can peep the hot new video below and also download it on iTunes

CIARA DOSEN'T REMEMBER ANYMORE

Ciara's new song entitled "I Don't Remember" has been leaked. Reportedly coming from the writing hands of Ne-Yo, the ballad track is believed to be listed on her upcoming third major studio album "Fantasy Ride". Ciara is expected to release "Fantasy Ride" on April 7th. On the new album, she teams up with Ludacris in the single "High Price". She also joins forces with T-Pain on "Go Girl" and Young Jeezy in "Never Ever".


USHER VS. JAMIE FOXX

"Just Like Me" is the latest single off Jamie Foxx's third studio album, Intuition, which has already hit stores this past December. Before Foxx even got a hold of The Dream and Tricky Stewart production, multitalented recording artist Usher had already recorded his own version that was slated to be released on his album Here I Stand. The two tracks have recently been mixed together to seem as a collabo with ATL rapper T.I. But with 2 artist and 1 track E3 wants to ask you... which track is better? Usher's or Jamie Foxx's? Listen to both versions below.



NE-YO'S SISTER SINGS TOO?


Talent must run in families. The latest to prove this theory is R&B sensation Ne-Yo’s baby sister Nikki Smith... Previously Nikki Smith worked as a songwriter on projects with Dr. Dre, Rodney Jerkins, Alonzo Jackson, Tiffany Villareal, Kurt Farquhar, Nina Sky and of course, big bro Ne-Yo. Take a listen to her new single “Turn Me Loose” to see if Nikki can stand on her own or have to live in the shadows of big brother Ne-Yo’s success.

FEMALE VERSION OF A HUSTLER?!

Beyoncé gets on that "Sasha Fierce" ish with this track called "Diva." Diva was produced by Bangladesh, who also produced Weezy's "A Milli." This is what happens when a producer blows up off one beat and then is asked by everyone to recreate it.

Beyoncé ~ Diva


“It’s too big, it’s too wide, it’s too strong, it won’t fit, it’s too much,” sings Beyoncé. Get your mind out of the gutter! She’s talking about an ego, of course.

BEYONCE SINGS "AT LAST"

With the promotion blitz for Beyoncé’s third studio album, I Am… underway, people are also buzzing about her new role as Etta James in the upcoming movie Cadillac Records. The lead song from the film Cadillac Records has leaked and now you can be the first to hear Beyoncé's rendition of the jazz classic "At Last."


BEYONCE IS A SONG STEALER?!

2 ARTIST 1 TRACK: BEYONCE vs. BC JEAN
Beyoncé has got the internet going nuts... Rumor has it that she swagger jacked the “If I Were A Boy” track from up and coming pop/rock singer and songwriter BC Jean. The track was produced and co-written by Toby Gad along with BC Jean. The truth is that when BC’s record deal fell through, co-writer Toby Gad kept the track and shopped it around to big name artists. The same thing happened with Fergie’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry”, also produced by Gad. Not saying that it's fair, but this is very common in the music biz. You can hear BC Jean’s version of “If I Were A Boy” below and compare to Beyonce's version. Which track do you like best?


KANYE GETS EMOTIONAL

Kanye says that his new album, 808's and Heartbreak, is about emotional nakedness, and most of the songs are about his breakup with one specific woman. "Coldest Winter" is the latest track to be released from the Chi-town rapper. "Coldest Winter" is dedicated in memory of his late mother, Donda West. 808's and Heartbreak has been slated for a December release, in order for it avoid collision with Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3, for which Kanye serves as producer. Take a minute tolisten to the track below.

THIS IS REAL MUSIQ

As you begin to hear those familiar piano chords, you already know what to expect from Philly native Musiq Soulchild, a beautiful ballad with huge single potential. On his newest single, 'If You Leave', the neo-soul veteran vents his frustrations with the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige. Over a wonderfully simple, yet effective melody. Sit back and listen to 'If U Leave'.

NOW HEAR THIS: JENNIFER HUDSON & FANTASIA

Here’s some material from Jennifer Hudson’s debut self-titled album, featuring none other than our American Idol, Fantasia Barrino. The song is called I'm His Only Woman, and originally was supposed to have both their J. Records label mate Jazmine Sullivan on it, but they replaced her with Fantasia. This is a good song with an old school vibe.


TREY TRIES 'WHATEVER YOU LIKE'

It's not suprising that Trey Songz decided to cover T.I.'s hit song "Whatever You Like". Just like the original track, Trey aka The Ladies Choice reminds all of his ladies that their wishes are his command. This crooner knows better than to fix what isn’t broken, instead just make it your own. Listen to the track and share your thoughts with E3.


NOW HEAR THIS: CIARA

Take a minute to listen to Ciara’s “Go Girl” featuring T-Pain, the first single off her forthcoming album Fantasy Ride, due in stores this December. Expect a much sexier image from CiCi this time around, hence the “super sexual” and “Energizer Playboy bunny” references in the song.
