R. Kelly - review

Terrible tease... Kelly r. spreads love at the Hammersmith Apollo, London. Photography: Christie Goodwin/Redferns

This is more than a decade that R. Kelly, King's self-proclaimed of R & B, passed through London last - time enough for his original fans to have grown up and has remained faithful despite the charges of child pornography (which he was acquitted), who has spent six years paw spawn a path in the Court. Fans embedded Lycra and bling of packaging on the first of the two dates UK have one thing in common: rose coloured glasses that transform a speed average 44 years with a small paunch in a prince among men.

"I was just simply too afraid to get on a plane", he said, to explain the gap of 12 years since he last spread the love to the United Kingdom. How did he overcome his fear of flying? Realizing that British women "deserve to see Kells, too." It is therefore here, sipping a cognac and give it what they want. "When you leave my room, you are going to be walking bow-legged," he sings, and they howl. "" "". If you want to return to my hotel, holler, "he suggests, and they duly holler." You can only wonder how room service will face.

Her self-confidence priapic is so complete it is 75 minutes from half - sung songs he gets rarely below a verse and a chorus before going on to day - an absurdly entertaining ensemble. His confidence is the result of a talent that positions him as the Burt Bacharach of R & B: he is a producer and screenwriter masterful, and the point of view of the works which pop melodies and funk rhythms are not opposing forms. The dozen hits he revisits this evening, if retro reek such that when a woman loves (from her new album Love Letter) or as Fiesta and ignition club bangers, incorporate melody and beats in a way that will still be appreciated a decade from nowWhile I Believe I Can Fly treacly ballads is guaranteed years of life as a song for the hearing of American Idol.

The latter requires as much energy to the belt that Kelly has to sit. Until that time, his endurance has been remarkable: he is an artist who rarely move constantly and frequently fires on the flights of a cappella, improvisation, which is of such a company sweat it breaks off the coast of clothing layers. But he is in fine voice tonight, and as a scarf, jacket and sunglasses are discarded side he did not miss a note.

Kelly is a terrible tease and never made good on his promise of all-back-to-mine: after a version bubbling people happy, he left the scene without a Word and the lights turn on. But for a show which is foreplay, it is not bad.

Album review: Booker t. Jones - the road to Memphis

Musician Booker t. Jones is a true legend that has identified as the leader of the Group of Booker t. and the MGS. But a less known fact is that he has also recorded four solo albums, including his last, the road to Memphis, who came out to the United States may 10, 2011. On the road to Memphis, Booker t. spreads its wings a little, not only to record remakes of songs by artists such as Lauryn Hill and Gnarls Barkley contemporary, but by working with artists, that he has never worked with before, as singer fame Sharon Jones (Dap-Kings), and hip-hop, the members of the Group The Roots.

New music: Rihanna feat Britney Spears - S & M

A few days earlier, Rihanna asked its million of Twitter followers that they would like to work with. Apparently, most of them replied "britney Spears" and now, through the wonder of crowd sourcing and probably a few label negotiations high power, we have a remix of Rihanna current unique S & M featuring a whole new section sung by Britney Spears. Britney verse operates where his recent Femme Fatale album left off, all laced insinuations lyrics and a bit uncomfortable (in all variants of this word) imaging: "it's your turn to hurt me / if I am wrong I docking / shut up."", gag and bound me." Considering that the original has been edited to remove any mention of "strings" and "whips", it is unclear if anyone rely on this version played on the radio. Also, it would be difficult for Rihanna to continue the assertion that the song talks about what that else that sado-masochist sex, unless that "feel the pain on your skin" is on the tattoo and "just a night full of sin" is watching EastEnders all make it too the chocolate cookies.

Beyoncé sued for 100 m $ by the developer of video games

End of the game... Beyonce Knowles is facing prosecution for withdraw from project Starpower. Photography: Marc Piasecki/FilmMagic.

A developer of video games U.S. continues Beyonce for more than $100 m (￡ 61 m), stating that it "destroyed [his] activities... on a whim". Five gate LLC alleges the singer "unscrupulous" scuttled plans for a game called Starpower: Beyonce, forcing the company to return 70 employees the week before Christmas.

Under a subpoena filed on Tuesday in New York (April), Beyonce associated with five door in June 2010, accepting its image as a "non-profit joint venture" licence. The company claims that it has invested 7 m $ in the video game Starpower, which would have left players along with Beyonce tunes dance such as Crazy in Love. But while Beyonce "had already negotiated compensation lavish terms", the singer apparently changed his mind in mid-December, at a "crucial moment in the development of the software. The door of five lawyers allege Beyonce "make exorbitant demand for entirely new terms of compensation." It fled its funder, Beyonce "withdraw", and the project collapsed.

It was, documents of the Court to declare, "a violation of the bad faith of the contract so insensitive that on what appeared to be a whim, she destroyed Gate five of the company and led to 70 people in unemployment". Founder "Christmas week, she said that it is, I don't want to hear from you guys, go further," Grey Easley told New York magazine. Five gate supports the father of Beyonce-both his manager - "gave up" his behaviour allegedly Scrooge-like.

Door of five promises more unpleasant details are to come, but "us had much rather make a game of litigate", Easley said. Beyonce did not yet respond to the allegations.

New group of the day - non-1008: Loick Essien

The cyber R & B brilliant latest encryption algorithm... Loick Essien. Photography: Ben Cook

Hometown: London.

Range: Loick Essien (vocals).

Background: Similarly it confirmed that we did not imagine things last summer in our new piece of magnetic tape Man. Spoke of the rave-fication of dubstep and noted that track a MM sounded as Lady Gaga at a rave, while a B Katy tune recalled in the early 90s chart-rave mode standby Let me be Your Fantasy by baby d. This is all a little Ibiza Dance Party, we have decided.

Then, last week another article in the Guardian concluded that a large part R & B and pop sounds days as the scrap of one of those who, now, that is what I call Rave Vol 1 collections, drenched euphoria keyboards trancey. That is all very well if you loved that sound in the first place, but if you ignored this part of the R & B continuum and is went directly from Jam & Lewis and Teddy Riley of Timbaland and Neptune, you will not enjoy the current glut of things.

"Glut" is the key word here is EC not? If us or UK, Usher or axis homegrown Taio Cruz/Talay Riley, R & B of today - or rave'b or whatever you want call - has a sound thick, ill, sticky, dominated by the song of saccharin Auto-Tuned and synth sugar-rich layers. The overall effect is to make soundtracks in question as if they were soaked in something sticky and listen like wading in molasses.

What happens even in grime - Invincible featuring Kelly Rowland of Tinie Tempah confirmed the link between grime, R & B and rave. And now here are Loick Essien, another English singer whose music applies a blur the border between these genera as well as ragga - just in case where you thought that the mulchification complete and total chart music had not yet been achieved. Her next single how we Roll includes Tanya Lacey, last heard add dancehall flavas Tinchy Stryder Spotlight, and it is, depending on your point of view, that is a triumph of hybridization without welding or ultimate proof of the modern pop choppers. It is undeniable that accomplished, as synonym for "American", while the break synth (bottom) s are typically early 1990s - British rave.

It is sold as having "a voice that will rival people like Usher, Justin Timberlake and John Legend", if indeed you can say under had all this sheen and it is already close collaborations with Chipmunk hits (last 2008 beast debut single including the bloops computer suggest Atari' no soul (b) or 8-bit) Bashy and N Dubz. He had all the usual bazillion YouTube hits and a background steeped in many different areas of the entertainment industry, even if his pop career fails, he'll have about five other options to pursue.

He began as a child star of video clips, including OK of Big Wessun before spotted by MTV Select presenter "Not funny" Blackwood Richard, who invited him to co-present the show for 11 years. This could have been the kiss of death, so all credit to the young Essien for emerging unscathed from then try his hand to Act (appearances in Holby City and doctors) and modeling: recently, he played in a campaign of ￡ 1 m for Adidas who saw his face pasted on the panels view across London. Now, the young man of 20 years is the latest shiny cyber R & B encryption algorithm, and if you want a vision of the future, imagine (t) his ravey stamping on a human ear sound - forever.

Buzz: "Loick Essien has done enough to fill two or three careers" - g - shock .co .uk.

The truth: George Orwell would have not been impressed. Justified, Yes.

Probably to: JLS make jealous.

The least likely of: Star in a remake of the animal farm.

What to buy: How we Roll out the RCA on 19 June, followed by the album identity later this year.

Review: Raphael Saadiq - Pierre Rollin '

In 2008, singer-producer-musician?Raphael saadiq captured lightning in a bottle with his brilliant album of songs inspired by Motown, the way I see it. But when word leaked that his next album, Pierre Rollin ', would return even more later in time to the music of the 1950s and early Gogo, an obvious question arose: could lightning twice? And the answer is Yes. Pierre Rollin ', out to the United States on May 10, 2010 is another brilliant album of brand new retro-Soul songs by Mr. Saadiq. And then would not has the element of surprise on her side as in the way which I see he did, the album deserves all the pre-release attention.

Rihanna and the rise of raunch pop

Taking the goal... Rihanna at the Madison Square Garden in New York. Photography: Lucas Jackson/Reuters.

Bondage, dolls Blow and Perez Hilton dog leash - they are all featured in the video for the single recent Rihanna S & Mr. four-minute clip was banned in 11 countries and followed a debate in the blogosphere. What is we were meant be seduced by bubblegum colour fetish outfits? Amused by garish humor and eyes video concupiscents camera work? A explicit hook of the song-"sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of this"-liberator or exploitation? The video is filled with CCTV cameras and ball-gagged paparazzi crucify Rihanna for his love of the "whips and chains", but any serious comment on voyeurism pleasures and pressures of Fame seems to be lost by the 3.35 mark when singer fellates a banana Pelee.

S & M, marked a crucial moment for the pop. In 2007, Rihanna said Paper magazine she aspired to be "the black Virgin", and it is possible S & M was his attempt to calculated to top level of infamy his heroin once reached, but it could well take its cues from the generation of the good-girls-driveway-bad phenomenal success that preceded his: Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Their own transmogrifications of the teen stars wholesome girls of FHM poster plus issues for future pop princesses, who must wear less and promise of more to make the same impact on a public wired. Pop music has reached a point where its most successful young women are shooting whipped cream (Katy Perry) and Fireworks (Lady Gaga) out of their arms.

Video Rihanna is an extreme portrait of a particular vision of female sexuality that permeates pop young women artists provide a misleading impression of autonomous, feminist organization. they are aggressively marketed as role models and trend setters, and yet the fantasies they will play on the screen are manufactured. Some studies, including a report of the American Psychological Association, 2007, found the output more scorching of the only pop mainstream was an insidious effect on young consumers and can be directly related with "three of the most common mental health problems diagnosed in girls and women - disorders of the alimentationfaible believes self-esteem" and depression "." Youth, female pop stars and machines behind them, have a responsibility to their audience?

Absolutely, says Diane Levin, a university based in the United States and author of So Sexy, so little time. Levin is not a fan of the S & M video. "It promotes what I call"disorder of compassion deficit"." That is, it deals with individuals as dehumanized objects, and sex and sexual behaviour outside the context of a caring human relationship - undermining the Foundation children need to grow up to have healthy relationships or sex. ?

Peter Robinson, editor of Popjustice, disagrees. "Employment is not a pop star to keep the children in the country", he said. "Parents should know - and control if necessary - that use children, and as guards, the media have responsibility for content filter so that you may not be Lady Gaga firing a machine gun of her vagina in the middle of in the garden of night." Truly offensive thing on S & M was annoying how it was. It was a song designed to push the boundaries of a really annoying way. ?

However, Dodai Stewart, editor in Chief Assistant of United States pop culture blog Jezebel, points out that female artists are systematically encouraged to capitalize on their sexuality. "Women artists are conclusively sexualised more often, which allows to sell albums, but they are also criticized for having been so sexual." Women cannot earn. "There is also a contrast between what is happening in the video by R & B male and female and acts of hip-hop. In the first case, you may see female role models semi-dressed cavorting around the artist. In the latter case, the artist will be the semi-dressed: there is no sign of male models walking on their bare buttocks in camera. The same thing happens far, videos, as Stewart points out: "Rihanna was on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, and the focal point was his behind.". "Jay - Z has been photographed for same publication wearing a suit and tie".

Morrissey to open for U2 at Glastonbury festival

The EEC Lo of Morrissey... the range of Glastonbury 2011. Photo: Getty

The first time, he played the festival of music of the greatest and most beloved of the world in 1984, the game had to be cut short as fans stormed the stage.

Twenty-seven years later and with one always base of dedicated fans, Morrissey will return to Glastonbury, playing the opening evening of the festival (Friday, 24 June), warm-up for U2 headline act.

His colleague Mancunians elbow on the Bill, the organizers have announced that they come out of the full range, also play the pyramid stage before the unconditional Glastonbury Coldplay philatelic Saturday night.

Organizing Festival what emily Eavis said this year will one of the most exciting offers of Glastonbury. "For all these incredible artists is truly a feat," she said. "I think that this is one of the more eclectic files yet.".

Elbow will lift the crowd with their music "lovely, festive and edifying", she says, while the Queens of the Stone Age - on-going face to face the other against Beyonce on Sunday night scene - will go some way to keep everyone happy. She added: "That will be fantastic because they will appeal to very different people".

There are also actions focused on the old fans of Glastonbury. Sunday will see Don McLean to play the pyramid stage in the afternoon, followed later by Paul Simon. BB King Blues legend will play the same stage Friday, while Jimmy Cliff and Kool and the Gang will feature on West Holt.

Simon should play a range of hits, Eavis said. "Everyone must verify by Paul Simon." It will make a total mix of songs, it will be as a greatest hits set. ?

The US group Fleet Foxes will play another step forward of Mumford & sons Friday, while White Lies are warmed up for the Chemical Brothers Saturday.

There will also be attractive acts for fans of urban music, with rising that Star Tinie Tempah to the pyramid stage, Saturday of British rap and R & B singer Cee-Lo Green West Holt Friday, while fans of dance may take their choice of Chase and statutDJ Shadow and Robynwith Annie Mac and John Digweed also playing DJ sets.

Among emerging artists, Anna Calvi, James Blake, Jessie J, Warpaint and vaccines.

Festival founder Michael Eavis could barely contain his glee go Morrissey to worthy farm in Pilton, Somerset, where the festival takes place. Morrissey played Glastonbury in 2004.

"When the Smiths play in 1984 it any change for us." "We were just on hippy band until then, and when they performed it was like a bolt of lightning", he said. "There is no fencing in these days - we thought that the fences were evil - and when the crowd began to invade the stage we had to close the game." There everyone is talking about us. ?

Performance of Coldplay on the evening of Saturday will be "the pinnacle of their career", while that total of U2, set Friday will have no shortage of "razzmatazz", he promised. "This will be a huge set for Coldplay and I think that U2 will be one of the greatest moments of the summer." "They could have been a long tour, but our expectation to Glastonbury has been even longer," he said.

Playgrounds of nocturnal Glastonbury, as Shangri La and Trash City, will be more sites, with the festival also create a new performance of "bull-ring" wood lock has made a donation.

Last year, 40th anniversary of the festival, with memorable and uninterrupted sunshine, performance but Eavis is satisfied, it can be improved. "I believe that we have the best stars, that we have never had, and if we get the sunshine, in my view, that it will be even better than last year."

New group of the day - not 1,016: Ny

Sweet Lidl mystery... Nyomi Gray. Photography: Mark Lightford

Hometown: Kentish Town.

Range: Nyomi Gray (vocals, songs).

Background: The company that allows New York could be the tire for you. You are or will be encouraged by the fact that she is friend with N-Dubz, sings on the album and recently supported their tour... or you're not. Then, you could be more pleased to learn that she worked with producer Davinche, has collaborated with Professor Green, Tinchy Stryder and streets, sings the choruses with Plan B and was the guest star on the top of the affected Ironik 5 stay with me. The collaboration of the latter was in 2008 and it is still only 22. In addition, she managed to adapt in a live-in girlfriend small passage from the Wiley.

It is super-connected: it has even received Giggs Rapper on his debut only be with you, while Kirk Norcross the only way club manager is Essex is in the video. A view. The music that it is - and we are not be snobby here because you should see where we live - totally adapted to discotheques of belt suburb of London, of Biba in Bromley, Oceana to Watford and liquid at Romford. "Classy" and "top of range" soul with a veneer of sophistication chav but just enough echoes of grime and dubstep that it could be marketed in this crowd as well. RWD magazine crowned its first lady of R & G - is not surprising that garage-y ballads and commercial urban pop with singing as heavy on the melisma, as can be expected of a girl high on Mariah, Aretha and lyrics on the fighting and the survivors must speak to the Cheryl Cole demographic.

It is an interesting character, Ny. A strict vegetarian, she was educated at home by his mother until the age of 10 years and writes poetry growing. Apparently, these days that it is a "lot of philanthropy and mentoring of the work, especially with the disadvantaged children. In a way, it is more interesting than his music, which is quite generic, while slickly produced and performed. Or at least it is now. What we have heard of its two mixtapes, schizoides impulses are undertaken. In fact, Splitz Endz Vol 2 cover, there is a photo of it on one side with a ballgown, and on the other hand, it is the head to toe in sportswear budget: half smooth soulstress, half Lady Sov. One of the songs, what I see, even includes the melody of seven army Nation White Stripes, played on what sounds like a synth-kazoo. We are guessing that it will focus on the urban classification fodder, however. Which, even at its most brilliant, you can say is not American, it loan a rudimentary charm. Think that Rihanna is routed on the PA to the Lidl.

Buzz: Fiercely independent and incredibly driven - famemagazine.co.uk.

The truth: She obtained the formula, she obtained the formula.

Probably to: Date Mark Wright.

The least likely of: Date Joey Essex.

What to buy: Be with you featuring Giggs was released on May 22.

R & B free: Mayer Hawthorne - Impressions: blankets EP

Crooner mayer hawthorne is the embodiment of the life of the old cliche, that you cannot judge a book by its cover. Mayer, who looks like he could be a stand-in for the late, great Buddy Holly, has actually a misleading Soulful, Darryl Hall of Hall & Oates fame voice. It was obvious by the music it is developed in recent years that it is a big fan of the old school of music Soul, but more driving the point home, on his new song six Impressions - covers EP, it takes on some classic R & B / Soul, most other songs that were recorded by a list eclectic artists, including of Isley Brothers, little-known Soul Group The Festivals and rock English group Electric Light Orchestra. And Mayer and his label, Stones Throw Records, do not pay for the digital EP. You can download it via the link below and legally for free.

Jennifer Hudson: I remember me - review

If an of R & B/soul diva must overcome the tragedy, Jennifer Hudson is well on its way. A summary of its progress so far is sure to mention the murder of his mother, his sister, his nephew in 2008, eclipsing that Grammy (for his debut in 2008) and Oscar (for the movie Dreamgirls; his next role is Winnie Mandela). Huskier than most, thrums voice of Hudson with a richness that eludes a large portion of its competition (Beyonce, say). That said, the songs from his second album do not require lots of it, and even the title song struggles to be sufficiently poignant.

Beyoncé unveils his new title of the album: 4

Beyonce new album will be titled 4, the singer revealed and is influenced by pioneer Afrobeat Fela Kuti.

The singer has already debuted the first le premier single single 4, run the world (girls) and is scheduled for the first time the video soon.

Discussing the title of the album, the R & B star said that the inspiration came from his fans using as shortcut number. "Everywhere I look, I see them as 4." I have had a concept and any other name, but I still see that fans love the name 4. I think that this would be a really fun thing to let the registration of name. ?

The number also has personal significance for Beyonce. "We have all special in our lives, and 4 numbers which is for me." It is the day I was born. Birthday of my mother and many of my friends birthdays are on the fourth - 4 April is the date of my marriage. ?

Still no official release date has been confirmed for the album. Beyonce Glastonbury festival headlines in June.
