Taio Cruz & Ciara Team Up on Tour

                                             
Taio Cruz and Ciara will be headlining the Malibu Concert Tour, a series of beachfront and poolside dates that will take the Brit and Crunk junkie across the country. Although the two will not be touring side-by-side, they will split the ten dates with seven going to Ciara and three going to Cruz.

Speaking to US Magazine, Ciara said, "Fans can look forward to having a blast! The Radio Maliboom Boom Station Invasion Tour is going to be all about energy and pure fun! Malibu reached out to me with the concept and right away I was interested because we'll be traveling to some of the hottest cities in the country and I thought it'd be a really cool and sexy run to be a part of to help celebrate summer."

REVIEW: "4" by Beyonce

Every previous release from the superstar songstress Mrs. Knowles-Carter has had its own personality. Dangerously in Love was that swirling concoction of soul jams and contemporary R&B with subtle elements of pop and funk. B’Day laid the funk on much thicker, with songs like “Déjà Vu” and “Suga Mama” piercing the airwaves with a contemporary twist on signature bluesy melodies. I Am Sasha Fierce revealed a pluralistic Beyoncé, one who could propel your average ballad to new heights on one track and transform a dance instrumental into an anthemic rallying call on another. So, what’s so special about 4?

This album is for the most part her most cohesive effort. Largely dominated by rousing ballads and mid-tempos, this is her first release to exclude a slew of sasha-fied tracks. From “Best Thing I Never Had” to “1+1,” it is an undulating portrait of the emotional toil of love and the source of pleasure and pain it proves to be. Each track is a different position along the rollercoaster, projecting snapshots of the various phases of attachment and detachment with which Beyoncé is constantly struggling.

Watching the "Throne" - When Will Kanye & Jay-Z's Album Get Released?

The number of push-backs Jigga and Yeezy's collaboration album has experienced are too numerous to count, but rumor has it that a digital version may hit the web on the 4th of July. The Source magazine was the first to hint at this date and sources close to the label are suggesting the early release as well. This comes after the physical release date for the album was pushed back further to January 2012, ten months later than the original release date in March 2011 and a year after the lead single "H.A.M." was released.

The reasoning behind it is to prevent an early leak of the tracks from cutting into sales, a fear that has plagued virtually every artist in the digital age. In particular, Jay's wife Beyonce witnessed her entire album leak nearly a month before the album's release date this past Tuesday, but first week sales seem to not be taking much of a tumble from first-day sales predictions.

Do you think we'll get an Independence Day treat from the two?
