RITA ORA - 'ORA'

Roc Nation has a new Queen. Her name, Rita Ora. Jay-Z's protégée released her debut album just last week and topped the UK Albums Chart after a long string of successful number one singles, 'Hot Right Now', 'R.I.P' and 'How We Do (Party)'. Rihanna's labelmate has been surrounded by hype since releasing her debut single while having Jay-Z and superstar wife, Beyonce as mentors would have helped the Albanian-British star immensely but is this  a A* record or just a project that is all hype and no good?

LADY GAGA - 'BORN THIS WAY'

The mother monster is well and truly back with her second full length studio album, 'Born This Way'. This may be the most hotly anticipated release of this year, and trust me, it lives up to that title. Filled with absolute club corkers and sweet soulful ballad-like songs, this lets us know that Lady Gaga is undoubtedly the greatest pop icon of the decade.

NICOLE SCHERZINGER - 'KILLER LOVE'

The head Pussycat Doll, Nicole Scherzinger is back. She released her debut solo album 'Killer Love' in March in UK and it charted fairly high at a respectable number 8. The album is packed full of club bangers and smooth slow jams, what Nicole does best.
