Pink collaborates on new Naughty by Nature project

Outspoken at times, Pink seems to be at peace nowadays at the top of her game and has now collaborated with the naughty lads Vinnie and Treach aka Naughty by Nature. The track 'What you wanna do' is taken from Naughty By Nature's forthcoming release Iicons due out April 23. .

Also contributing to the set was 3LW (aka 3 Little Women) making an appearance on the lead off single 'Feels Good' that goes to radio next month. Check it out coming to a radio show near you

Newcomer Chanel makes a bright impression

Now much in the way of information is available on this young lady but Chanel certainly does have a voice. The debut song is called 'My Life' a lusciuos and beautifully orchestrated mid-tempo groove that's sure to make you shake a leg on the dance floor.

With the Crusaders 'Street Life' as the sampled theme, this one is a sure fire hit in my eyes and will be played frequent and often on The Menu - so do tune in if you care to listen.

The Brit Awards - the nominees are...

Speaking of award ceremonies, you may remember last years Brit Awards where Craig David received the most nods with 6 and didn't win a single statue (and this was in his homeland). Well this year he receives 3 nods but guess who grabbed 6 this time around The Gorillaz (don't figure).

The awards will take place at Earl's Court in Central London once again on Wednesday Feb.27th. Nominees include Elton John and Aphex Twin (Best Male), 'the lady' aka Sade and Geri Halliwell (Best Female), as mentioned the Gorillaz and Jamiroquai (Best Group) and So Solid Crew and Robbie Williams (Best Single). Robbie can set a record for most consecutive wins in the Brit single category with 4 straight if he takes the award home.

UK prominent Prince of Soul Omar was left out of the voting yet again now I ask you what's the point of having these awards if true talent is not recognized, isn't that the purpose behind the awards is giving props to those who had a steller year and deserve to be recognized (I'm mystified by this).
