Rihanna at her big apple signing…
Oct 27th
Wearing a floral-print dress, Rihanna whipped out her Sharpie as she signed copies of her self-titled photography book at Barnes & Noble’s 5th Avenue store in New York City today. The 144-page publication, available in trade paperback and hardcover editions, is a visual chronicle of one of the world’s most-talked-about performing artists and fashion icons.
When all else fails, reach for the controversial. This, so it seems, is an M-O aspiring singer Rihanna is well versed-up in. For, despite vowing this time last year to move on from the topic of Chris Brown, The Noise spoke once again on the intimate details of their controversial relationship.This, of course, having nothing to do with the minimal buzz surrounding her new LP “Loud“, which is but a few weeks away from release.
‘God has a crazy way of working, and sometimes when stuff happens you feel like, “What did I do to deserve this?” Why was it backfiring on me?’ she says in an emotional interview in the latest issue of UK Marie Claire.‘I was very lost. I have to say I felt really confused. I hate talking about it but it was really crazy because I felt so out of touch with myself and when that happens…It’s scary because nothing you say or do feels like it’s you,’ Rihanna says through tears. ‘You just lose touch of everything that you love and everything that you Read the rest of this entry »

Trey Songz explains the “sexual direction” of his music
Aug 6th
Trey Songz took part in a detailed discussion with The MoMo Show. During the interview the singer revealed why most of his newer material is based on sex rather than the artistic depth of his 1st 2 albums. Songz’s new album,”Passion, Pain & Pleasure“, hits stores on September 14th. Check out what he had to say below:
“The public likes generic more than they like to admit, so that’s what I gave them — I gave them sexual singles and they ate it up,” Songz says about the string of blatantly sexed-up hits from “Ready“. “I gave them two whole albums before this one — on one I talked about a mother’s love for her son and a father not being there, and on the other I made a song about safe sex. They were well accepted but not as much as the records on “Ready“. The singles were purposely very sexual to capture people’s attention.”. Trey Songz didn’t find it compromising to peddle sex to become a bigger star. In fact, he feels “Ready” wasn’t any more sexual than his previous albums.
“People say this album was highly sexual, but the first two albums were just as sexual,” he says. “If you listen to the ‘Ready’ album, there’s ”Love Lost”, ”Black Roses”, ”Yo Side of the Bed” – all songs that had nothing to do with sex, but were overlooked because they weren’t the first few singles.”
“I knew “I Invented Sex” was career-defining. After that leaked, the rough mix started playing on radio,” Songz says. “I prepared for “Say Aah“ to be a big record — I knew it would be huge. So when it came to shooting the video for “I Invented Sex” I split the budget for “Say Aah“. I think those steps were imperative to the success of this album.”
So in other words Songz decided to do anything it took to get a hit? While it is understandable that he wanted to take his music in a different direction and enjoy higher levels of success with “Ready“, he has to yet to explain why he has chosen to do the same with “Passion, Pain & Pleasure“. It seems that Songz either enjoys objectifying the bodies of women in his songs or he is afraid to return to the meager position in the industry that he once occupied as an artist of actual integrity.
