The female R&B singer is a mainstay of top 40 hip-hop and dance music, often integral in providing the catchy hook on an otherwise rough track. With the popularity of the auto-tune effect in hip-hip, many rappers have taken to experimenting with singing their own hooks, effectively putting the female R&B singers out of work. The effect doesn’t seem to be losing any steam, but hopefully the female R&B singers can make a comeback with their own full-length albums. Here is a list of female R&B singers to keep your hid kits peeled for to make a comeback in 2010.

Mya

Mya has never really been gone, she has released albums in both 2007 and 2008 but hasn’t had a single on par with her early hits “It’s All About Me” and “Case of the Ex” and her 2007 album was shelved in the US and only released fully in Japan, which makes one wonder what kind of future she has in the United States market. She recently released a mixtape entitled “Beauty & the Streets Vol 1” which has her dabbling in more mainstream southern hip-hop and R&B production, possibly testing her ability to sell the material, in the hopes that if it gains enough play the record label will greenlight an actual release. Here’s hoping Mya can reach the United States commercial success of her past.

Christina Milian

Christina Milian made her mark in the music world with her sultry hooks for rap artists like Ja Rule. She set out on her own and had success on Def Jam and Island records with two albums that reached Silver sales records, which isn’t amazing but isn’t bad either. Her 2006 release “So Amazin’” didn’t sell as well as the label had anticipated. She left Def Jam due to “creative differences.” She seems to have found a happy home through her connection and marriage to singer/writer The-Dream and his Interscope Records/Radio Killa record label which will release her album in 2010. With The-Dream and his partner Tricky Stewart on the production side this could be her most successful album both commercially and critically.

You’re a singer looking for great audience songs for women. Have you thought about a “House song” from a Musical?

A House song bridges the gap between the audience and the singer, when the character comes out of the story on stage and speaks directly to the viewers, know that he (and the drama) is being watched.

In Musical theater there are not many real House songs, but there are a number of songs you can alter to make your performance cross that invisible fourth wall between you and the audience.

In this article I suggest 60 songs for women from the Musical Theater repertoire that could be sung as a House song. They fall into three categories: the true House song, the audience number and the soliloquy.

In the first category, the true House song, the musical is written deliberately for the character to step out of the drama and speak to the viewers. Think of Diva’s Lament from Spamalot, or You Can Always Count On Me from City of Angels. When You’re Good To Mama from Chicago springs to mind immediately. Other true House songs include Big Spender from Sweet Charity (originally a chorus number but can be sung by one person), I’m Still Here from Follies, Broadway Baby from Follies, I Just Wanna Dance from Jerry Springer, Jonny One Note from Babes in Arms, and Nobody Does It Like Me – the Cy Coleman song from the musical SeeSaw. And Miss Byrd from Closer Than Ever shares her secret across the fourth wall. Read the rest of this entry →

In order to sell more albums and reach a broader audience, musicians have always looked to collaboration as a marketing tactic. As it would turn out, collaborative songs usually make it to the top of the Billboard Charts. It’s no wonder they can drive around in Hummers and install audi performance parts on their whips.

Here are the best 3 collaborative artists of my time.

1. Jennifer Lopez a.k.a. J.Lo and Jenny from the Block: I would name J.lo the best collaborative female artist of all time. Her collaborations are bold, exciting, and straight up hot. This sexy diva has collaborated with rappers Ja Rule, Nas, Fabulous, Fat Joe and L.L. Cool J all of which produced award winnings songs with her. Needless to say, this girl knows how to sell albums and touch the rap, pop, R&B, and dance communities all in one bang.

2. Rihanna, the girl that’s “so hard“: This pop sensation rose to fame at a very fast rate and it definitely has a lot to do with her amazing collaborations with rappers like Jay-Z and Young Jeezy and R&B super stars such as Justin Timberlake and Sean Paul to name a few. There is no doubt that climbing this ladder of fame and celebrity has helped Rihanna reach her “fan base of 27 million.”

3. Beyonce sings for “all my single ladies”: Beyonce is by far one of the richest, highest grossing female artists of all time. Her collaborations have a lot to do with it. This bodacious bombshell has collaborated with husband and rapper Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, and Kanye West. She doesn’t leave the ladies out either, she’s sang duets with Diana Ross, former Destiny’s Child co-star Kelly Rowland, and her more recent gal pal Alicia Keys. How about that for Diva!

These ladies knows what sells, sex, talent, and collaboration. Props for all the amazing collabos that have won awards and sold millions of albums!
