junes-diary-stay-cover

Emerging R&B group June’s Diary — handpicked by Kelly Rowland and Frank Gatson — pays homage to Jodeci by covering their 1991 hit “Stay” from their debut album, Forever My Lady. 

The quintet teamed with famed photographer Derek Blanks to shoot an accompanying video for the cover. The minimal visual shows five singers — Ashly, Brienna Gabby, Kristal and Shyann — dressed in ’90s-inspired clothing while they perform the song in front of a grey backdrop.

This isn’t June’s Diary first time showing love to groups that came before them. Last year, they joined En Vogue on Greatest Hits to perform their signature single “Free Your Mind.”

June’s Diary is currently the opening act on R. Kelly’s The After Party Tour. They’re also working on their forthcoming debut album that will release on Epic Records.

Blvck Rose Releases Visual for ‘Video Girl’ Featuring FùNSHO

Emerging producer Blvck Rose has released the visual for his debut single “Video Girl” featuring FùNSHO.

Directed by Bria Domonique, the kaleidoscopic-clip takes a glimpse into the lives of various women with different interests including yoga, painting, photography and 420. The ladies later join Blvck Rose and FùNSHO at a kickback where he finds himself with more than enough options.

Blvck Rose shared the creative direction for the “Video Girl” visual. “I wanted to perfectly illustrate the feel of the song, which is very groovy, vibey and fun and highlight the variety of beautiful women of the DC-Maryland-Virginia area,” he said. “The vibrant shots showcase each woman in her natural element enjoying the song, and I hope the viewers leave with the message that all women are beautiful in their own way and should be appreciated.”

“Video Girl” will make the track list for Blvck Rose’s forthcoming EP A Half Dozen Roses, which is slated to arrive this summer. The project is expected to tell “an international love story told over futuristic melodic production.”
