I'll admit, I initially checked out the video because of J. Cole but I stayed to listen because of Elle Varner . A new artist to J Records , Varner's newest single, "Only Wanna Give It To You ," is incredibly fresh. Her quirky and colorful persona is on par with her natural soulfulness, making for a very promising blend of soul-pop music. I'm looking forward to hearing more of her in the future.

RCA executives have made the decision to close down Jive, Arista and J Records, home to many of our favorite acts like Whitney Houston , Alicia Keys & Pink "The path we've taken is to refresh RCA, so we're going to retire those brands," RCA president and COO Tom Corson told the Hollywood Reporter . "There may be a reason down the line to bring them back, but it's a clean slate here." Another day, [...]

RCA Records has shut down three of its more well-known subsidiary labels, Jive Records, Arista Records, and J Records, as The Hollywood Reporter points out. The news was unveiled in a recent interview between The Holly Reporter and RCA President Tom Corson, who explained that "the path we've taken is to refresh RCA, so we're going to retire those brands. There may be a reason down the line to bring them back, but it's a clean slate here." The artists represented by these three labels will now be under the RCA umbrella. Jive Records, [...]

Elle Varner has returned with a brand new single "Only Wanna Give It To You" from her upcoming debut on MBK/J Records. We love the "Make The Music With Your Mouth Biz" sample and an added verse from J. Cole should make this 902s feel track another smash for Elle's collection. Big things for this lady in 2012 until then get familiar with her by grabbing the track below. Elle Varner ft J. Cole - Only Wanna Give It To You Download

JAMIE FOXX BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE (J Records) www.jamiefoxx.com In 2009 Jay-Z declared the Death of Auto-Tune. It appears that Jamie Foxx didn't get the memo, or maybe Jay-Z spoke too soon. Foxx's new record kicks off with a healthy dose of the software over his vocals even though it sounds like he really doesn't need to use it. The guy has an amazing voice; he utilizes his R&B style with a mix that's sure to be a hit in the clubs. He's created a [...]

Rod Stewart 's new record is digging into his past. Fly Me to the Moon...The Great American Songbook, Volume V , which arrives via J Records on October 19, has Stewart covering classic songs from the past, and he also teams with his past collaborators, Richard Perry and Clive Davis. There's probably a joke in here somewhere, but considering the singer's previous multi-platinum efforts, it seems impossible to make fun of him. The full track list for the new record is available after the jump. Fly Me to the Moon...The Great [...]

I'm assuming the majority of you didn't even know Jamie Foxx had a music career before he kicked "Slow Jams" with Kanye Titta and Twista back in 2004. Funny thing is, I have a feeling the fantastic Mr. Foxx didn't either. After the transitioning actor found out eleven years prior that unsubliminally awesome album titles like Peep This don't sell records by themselves and subsequently moved on from his childhood passion, the burgeoning actor found himself on the receiving end of a game-changing alley-oop from the hands of the young son of Chicago, who would ultimately [...]

When it was announced Mikey got signed up by J Records, I pleasantly vowed to behead anyone who misguided the path of my favorite Southfield, MI singer. Now, here we are, mere months later, watching an official visual for one of Mike's most popular tracks...and it's not even the best version of the song . But, apparently justified. Previewed on Posner's One Foot Out The Door mixtape, Gigamesh's version of "Cooler Than Me" is a driving force of phased frequencies that turns up the tempo on the [...]

At this time last year, if you would've told me the new mixtape from a white suburbanite, Southfield, MI Pop producer/singer named Mike Posner would make my most anticipated releases of 2009 list, I would have laughed straight in your face. Well, things change and the unexpected is now common place, because as you all hopefully know by now, young Mike P has come a long way in the last 365 days. With only the one classic mixtape (Yup) under his belt, this Duke senior has achieved [...]

This is the moment so many artists envision for themselves, yet very few actually attain. That one, single, life-changing scenario where perseverance literally pays off, the angst pops alongside the bottles of Mo' and the pipe-dreams become promises. I have no reason to wish young Michael luck, because he simply won't need it. Good for you, J Records. Now don't drop the ball.

This track, from Australian R&B singer/songwriter Daniel Merriweather titled ' Impossible ' was produced by Mark Ronson . It sounds like it may contain sample(s) from the Zager and Evans song ' In The Year 2525 (Exordium and Terminus) ' that was written in 1964, released independently in 1967 and released nationally in 1969. Either way, the song is a good listen. I would have posted his song ' Change ' featuring Wale , but his stupid record label ( J Records / Sony ) disabled embedding of the video on [...]

Chicago rapper Rhymefest posted a music video for the track "Chicago" to his Myspace today. The track is from his upcoming J Records release, El Che , tentatively due in June. The video was produced by Chicago videographer, editor, and director Konee Rock . The video itself is pretty freaking sweet as it's animated to look a comic book. Rhymefest appears as various incarnations of comic book heroes such as Spiderman, Iron Man, and Superman. Also video game icons Sonic The Hedgehog and Mario turn up for some [...]

Toronto - Audrye Sessions is a Californian rock quartet consisting of frontman Ryan Karazija, bassist Alicia Marie Campbell, drummer James Leste and guitarist Michael Knox. They've just released their self-titled debum album on the label Black Seal. So what's Black Seal anyway? I've never heard of this label before. It turns out that it's a unit of Sony BMG. While I will admit that you can find this information on the cd case, in teeny weeny print, they certainly don't make it very clear. After doing a little digging, I've found out that Sony owns a bunch [...]

The godfather of Atlanta's urban music scene discusses everything from his early days with Babyface to his regrets over his move to Arista Records several years ago.

Note: Missy Elliott is a co-executive producer on this debut album from Jazmine Sullivan. Missy also co-wrote and co-produced two of the tracks on here ("Dream Big" and the first single "Need U Bad"). Sound: Empowered, confessional, sometimes vengeful and sometimes playful r&b driven by a powerful voice...

A l'écoute de la playlist ci-dessous, vous manquerez sûrement, tout comme moi, de superlatifs pour décrire l'époustouflant talent de cette jeune artiste originaire de Philadelphie. Retenez bien son nom : Jazmine Sullivan vient de signer sur le prestigieux label J Records (celui d'Alicia Keys), et son premier single officiel "Need U Bad" , produit par nul autre que Missy Elliott , s'imposera sans peine comme LA ballade de l'été. Pour preuve, cette fusion parfaite de Reggae et de Soul est déjà en train de faire sensation dans les charts US. [...]
