Kelis "Flesh Tone" ( will.i.am music group/interscope)
Staging a comeback is a hard feat to accomplish, with these younger girls straight jacking your style, a public divorce and being hated on by your own people. But alternative r&b/dance artist Kelis seems to not let it get to her, she says she was inspired to make a new album after the birth of her son Knight last July. The 8 song is her first album to feature an entire dance/house direction a concept she's flirted with on her last few albums. This is also the 2nd album to feture no production by her long time collaborators The Neptunes (the first was her last album 2006's Kelis was Here). Her first single "Acapella" has already hit #1 on the billboard dance charts.
You can download "Acapella" on iTunes and her fifth album "Flesh Tones" is available May 17.
Kenna "Songs For Flight" TBA 2010
Another Neptunes alumni Ethiopian born Kenna has been flying under the radar for almost 10 years now, but I honestly feel it's worth it. He's released two critically acclaimed albums and was nominated for a Grammy. He's recently caught public knowledge after climbing mt. Kilimanjaro with Jessica Biel and Lupe Fiasco to fight the clean water crisis in the world. He's now ready to release his 3rd album aptly titled "Songs For Flight" due out later this year.
You can help Kenna's cause for by downloading his single "Turn" off iTunes all procedes go to summit on the summit. You can also download the hope for Haiti soundtrack which features him, lupe fiasco and many other artist.

After having arguably the biggest summer smash of last year a Grammy and leaving the knowles clan. Things are looking up for Kelly, after years of mediocre hits and sales stateside people have already stuck a fork in Kelly's career. But after her success in the dance Market people have been wondering what she's coming up with next.

Uffie "Sex,Dreams and Denim Jeans" Summer 2010
I'm not impressed with this united smuts of America movment but it's something about Uffie that stands out she talks about partying and unlike Ke$ha her music is directed to adults and late teens than to Tweens. Her single "Pop The Glock" has captivated worldwide clubs and made her a name through out the night scene.

With his single "Nothin On You" already in the top 20 he's sure to be the next big thing for this new decade
