There's no doubt that Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown's "No Air" was a giant hit and a breath of said fresh air that not only propelled Sparks to another level far above some of her previous American Idol winner contemporaries, but also revived the good ol' fashioned ballad, as well.
So now Jive is officially promoting "Superhuman," Brown's duet with Keri Hilson—i.e., the singer on Timbaland's "The Way I Are"—as his latest single off Exclusive.
Like "No Air," it employs the traditional melodic structure of an '80s-type ballad (soaring vocals, fancy harmonizing) and features the required angst-ridden emoting and clutching of each other's designer clothing during drama-tinged moments.
And while it's not immediately catchy upon first listen, there's something just sappy enough about the tune that taps into your inner lighter-waving dork.
"Superhuman" might not be up there with classy duets of yore like "Next Time I Fall," "After All" or, well, any other one featuring Peter Cetera...but it could just be the next "No Air."
I actually love this song, it was in heavy rotation for the longest about 2 months ago when I first snagged it. "Superhuman" ia Chris Brown's second single from the re-release of Exclusive: The Forever Edition. The music video was directed by Erik White, Brown's seventh video directed by him.
Solange has finally filmed her "T.O.N.Y" music video in New York City and blog, Urban News Network TV was on the scene capturing the fun. Spotted on the set were her sister Beyonce (and that patchwork D&G bag), Teyana Taylor, Kid Cudi, and Cee-Lo who co-wrote the track.
Just in case you haven't heard "T.O.N.Y" yet, give it a quick listen.

Oh, right. Towleroad column, up now. As you may have read about from Poster Girl, Chris Brown's intended duet with Rihanna, "Electric Guitar," leaked last month before Ri-Ri even laid down her vocals. (But not before she laid down Chris—oookay!!) Hear it below.
Good news is, per the second short interview clip, they'll still be recording and releasing "Electric Guitar," despite the unfinished version getting out.
Singer Christina Aguilera clearly isn’t one to let standards slip, as she stepped out for dinner In Manhattan, with her family still looking every inch the diva. In a long patterned maxi dress, stacked wedge heels and a pair of huge sunglasses, Christina looked immaculate as she carried son Max, 7 months, in her arms, while husband Jordan followed.
