[Review] Rihanna Remains Brave with Drake Collaboration "Work"
Rihanna better be getting suitably compensated for being Tidal's guinea pig. The entangling of it and ANTI has been pretty disastrous for the project, consistently messing up its momentum. I say this as someone salty at having to wait to hear her new single, Work. Lord knows I'm not signing up to Tidalwave for it.
Being pushed as the first "real" release from the Diva's new LP, the cut sees her teaming up with dad dancer Drake, as well a producer [Kuk Harrell] of their previous smash collab', What’s My Name. Knowing both these things- pre hearing- had me sweating Rihanna had gone and done a 180 on the initial experimental nature of the project, and was now back chasing hits.

[Music Video] Zendaya - "Neverland"
Zendaya is a Diva that hasn't quite transitioned into a global star yet. The buzz surrounding her is undeniable, but apart from the controversy surrounding her being (initially) cast as Aaliyah in the Lifetime biopic, I can't really place her.

[Music Video] Grimes - "Kill V.Maim"
Grimes' Art Angels was another critically acclaimed LP for the alternative Diva.
Unlike her first album Visions, this one presented to the public an immediately more accessible body of work. With its poppier sounds and more straightforward, cleaner vocals, it functioned nicely as an easier route for the nervous into this Diva's wonderful world.
[Discuss] Is Alicia Keys A Terrible Singer?
When Alicia Keys debuted in 2001 with her smash hit Fallin', she was held up as a kind of wonder kid. Hailing from a deprived area of New York, the Diva was pushed as a classically trained pianist who was as capable on the keys as she was with her own voice. And if that wasn't enough, she was a writer and a composer to boot! Truly the whole package, it was little surprise that she quickly came to Clive Davis' attention.

Adele Careers Into Nicki Minaj's Lane With Carpool Karaoke Session
James Corden's series of celebrity carpools for The Late Late Show has already managed to create some iconic moments in its relatively short existence.
Who could forget Mariah Carey's stiff as an arthritic Tin Man wine? Or Jennifer Hudson releasing the beast and somehow not blowing out the car windows as she belted And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going. But today's ride around London town, featuring Adele, might have just surpassed them all in terms of entertainment value.
