The world has lost another icon. On Saturday afternoon, world-renown R&B songstress Whitney Houston was found dead in a hotel in Los Angeles. She was preparing to perform at a tribute concert to her mentor, Clive Davis. The cause of her death is unknown at this point, but once an autopsy is complete more details will emerge. She was known for her incredible voice in songs like "I Will Always Love You" and "I'm Every Woman," and also her amazing acting. She starred alongside Denzel Washington in "The Preacher's Wife" and Angela Basset in "Waiting To Exhale." Houston will be missed and condolences go out to her friends and family.
“It All Belongs To” Brandy and Monica in new duet
Brandy and Monica are back! Back in 1998 the duo released their hit record "The Boy Is Mine." 14 years later they've come out with a brand new follow-up song called "It All Belongs To Be," rumored to be on Monica's new album 'New Life' (due April 10th). Their voices are just as smooth as ever and they blend even better this time around because it's more of a coming together than a back and forth exchange. A video is supposedly going to be shot on February 13th and I'm not sure about the rest of you R&B fans but I'm looking forward to it!
