It was not long after around 272 that she flew over to LA and annouced she had some special news so...drumroll please...

!!!Congrats to Kirby Lauryen, the newest Roc Nation signee!!!

Watch her tear up over the news that she'll be a songwriter for the label and re-perform her first ever "Song-A-Day" tune, "Til' The Angels Cry."

So, uh, now's a good time to get familiar...--GB

VIDEO- BASTILLE & JAY BROWN, "THINK ABOUT THAT"

Jay Brown is wrapping up her tour with Bastille and Swiss Lips in the UK, but stopped by her blog to give her ever growing fanbase a listen into what she's been up to in the studio. This duet with her and featuring Dan Smith from Bastille is called "Think About That."

Jay Brown's got that gritty raspy voice, a Tracy Chapman pensive air, and a simple guitar melody that can capture without intense production effects. And she's just getting started!

A free download to her song "Video" is available on her Facebook page.

VIDEO: LAURIANA MAE'S "LIKE A DRUM (BEAT IT)" FEATURED ON DWTS SEASON 15!

The seamless filming, svelte toework and skimpy outfits of The Troupe and Pros on the 15th season of Dancing With The Stars were the forefront to a song that truly matched the passions of all three last night--Lauriana Mae's "Like A Drum (Beat It)." Family shows have a whole new meaning. --GB

 These heavily-sultry slow sounds are owned by Rebecca Ferguson, whose single for "Teach Me How To Be Loved" can be found on her deluxe album for Heaven, out now.

Kinda really stupid dope.

NEW SONG: AARADHNA "I'M NOT THE SAME"

Aaradhna drops the third freebie in anticipation of her new album Treble & Reverb set for release on November 9 and boy, she goes in. The subtle soft guitar and piercing vocals on "I'm Not The Same" almost seem to drown in the sorrows of the dimwit who had done her wrong; but the channeled depression turned out therapeutic. This is a new anthem that while candid and vulnerable, solidifies Aaradhna's songwriting versatility.--GB

NEW VIDEO: SOLANGE, "LOSING YOU"

Solange outdid herself with her premiere video for "Losing You," part of a two song drop that digitally hits online outlets today. The funky hawk inspired jam, shot in South Africa, basically consists of four things: amazing writing from Solange and Devonté Hynes, bananas production from Blood Orange, fun direction from Melina Matsoukas, and prints on prints on prints! It's a fashionable video to a fashionable song, and you can check it out after the jump.
