MAY 2, 2007
Mario
He's kept quiet for a little while, but Mario returns to the spotlight this Summer with his highly anticipated third release, "Go." With the Platinum success of his previous endeavors, this album proves to be exactly what fans and critics are expecting - and then some. The first single, "How Do I Breathe," impacts urban mainstream and rhythm radio this week. Mario pours his heart out in this emotional ballad, reminding us why we fell in love with him in the first place. His smooth vocals and honest lyrics make for a powerfully mature track, allowing us to see a softer, more adult side of this R&B megastar. Fans can look out for the video in several weeks.
Fantasia
Fantasia's latest album has helped portray this urban diva as a strong, soulful superstar. Her next single, "When I See U," is another hit with a hot video to match. Fantasia premiered the video on BET's Access Granted as well as Yahoo! Music last week. The video, shot in New York City, shows Fantasia's softer side as she sings an innocent ballad about a neighborhood crush.
Paula DeAnda
Arguably one of pop's most tech-savvy artists, Paula DeAnda is showing her fans that she can yet again rule the online world. Her breakout success was documented on her MySpace page, collecting hundreds of thousands of friends and sharing her songs through her profile. This time, Paula is transforming herself into an avatar, or an "animated character," to perform a virtual concert for fans in the 3-D universe "Second Life." The event will take place on May 21st at 8 PM EST, and fans can log on and listen to Paula performing her chart-topping hits at www.secondlife.com. The website has collected over 5 million users across the globe.
Tyrese
Tyrese's next single, "Come Back to me Shawty," is next up on his latest album, "Alter Ego." Set for release at the end of May, this new track will add to the mystique of Tyrese and continue to prove that this triple threat really can do it all. He's amazed fans by churning out hit after hit through the years, and his latest track is another success.
Say Anything
Say Anything is putting their fans to the test. They are hosting a contest on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/group/sacontest2 where fans can submit their own version of the band's hit "Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too." The winning video will premier on FUSE's new television show, The Sauce, at the end of May.
Say Anything continues their co-headlining tour with Saves the Day, making stops acrossthe east coast this month.On May 5th, they'll perform at the Bamboozle Music Festival. Additional stops include Atlanta, Myrtle Beach, Houston, Dallas and many other cities.
Monica
It seems as though each track off Monica's latest album dives deeper and deeper into her soul. With the introspective new track, "Hell No," this R&B Princess proves she is all grown up and ready for a mature, serious relationship. She demands respect, and she won't settle for less. The new single is a far cry from the Monica we were introduced to almost ten years ago, but we've seen this diva grow through the years and fans have been there every step of the way. "Hell No" hits radio May 14th.
