Album Announcements, Release Date Changes and more….

Recently while on Beyonce’s “I Am…” tour in the U.K. she announced plans of releasing a new album in 2010.

“This is my last show for this tour in the UK, so hopefully, I’ll see you all in a year with a new album,” a raspy-voiced Beyonce told the crowd at the end of the set. Producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins also confirmed the news on Twitter, recently posting he is working on some tracks for Beyonce’s upcoming album.” [Billboard]

Okay so it may indirectly confirm no baby in the works for the Carters.

Usher’s upcoming album Raymond v. Raymond was finally given a release date (Dec 21), but there is a new release date. The date is still being determined.

According to the spokesperson for Jive Label Group states the change in date is because they want to give Raymond v. Raymond a proper set-up time it “deserves”.

And my Mary J. Blige fans, the wait is over; her upcoming album, Stronger will be in stores December 21. Shouts out to Urbanbridgez, and to check out the tracklisting for Stronger head over to Urbanbridgez.com.
