Alicia Key’s four times platinum album “As I Am” has spawned it’s fourth single and video. “Superwoman” pays tribute to all types of women, ranging from the struggling mother on public assistance to the single working mom trying to balance family and career. The video was filmed last month during a two day shoot (June 9-10) at the LA Center Studios and was directed by Chris Robinson, who has worked on several of Alicia’s videos in the past (Teenage Love Affair, You Don’t Know My Name). The treatment for Superwoman apparently came from actress Jada Pinkett Smith, who not only acted as co-director but also makes a special cameo appearance in the video as well.

Michelle Williams must be feeling pretty good these days. According to Billboard Magazine, the singer has a modest hit on her hands as the remix version of her single “We Break The Dawn”, which features Flo Rida, is sitting pretty in the #1 position on the Hot Dance Airplay chart. Michelle’s new album, appropriately title “Unexpected”, is due to drop August 12th. However if you are itching for more of what Michelle has already offered, two new dance tracks from her new CD have been made available online. Private Party and Hungover both aim to keep the party going and are pretty decent songs. Hungover has a very urban feel- very J-Lo-ish with a bit of Amerie thrown in, while Private Party reminds me of We Break The Dawn, but with the electronic sound made popular by Britney Spears’ “Blackout” album.

Singer Ashanti and her significant other of the past five years, Nelly, have added their names to the long list of entertainers who have mixed business with pleasure. Think: Beyonce and Jay-Z, Sonny and Cher- Peaches and Herb. The list goes on and on and now that list includes this couple as they were seen recently working on a video together. “Body On Me” is a track slated to appear on Nelly’s upcoming CD and features not only the lady in his life, Ashanti, but singer, songwriter, producer, Akon as well. Body On Me is a pretty nice track and may just be the added boost Ashanti needs. Though her CD got rave review from critics, fans and non fans alike, the disc has moved less than 300,000 copies since it was released five weeks ago and presently sits at #49 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart.

As rumors started to swirl earlier this week that Erykah Badu could possibly be pregnant by producer Jay Electronica, the singer started to come under scrutiny by fans, bloggers and other assorted critics who thought she was sending a bad message to young girls and the public in general. For those of you not in the know, Erykah has two children already, a son named Seven by rapper Andre 3000 and a daughter named Puma by 80’s West Coast rapper The D.O.C. Erykah has never been married and herein lies the problem according to many. If Erykah is pregnant by Jay Electronica he will be the third man she has had a child by and never married. Three children, three different fathers- many think Erykah is just a walking stereotype of Black women.
