At last Cardi B's 2nd album drops it is arriving
September 19, 2025-Friday 

Finally after 7 years after “The Invasion of Privacy”, several number one hits on the Billboard charts, 3 children: Kulture, 7, Wave, 4, and Blossom, 1 and one on the way with her new beau, NFL athlete, Stefon Diggs. Cardi has killed it in these last 8 years a Coachella performance, a divorce from an off relationship with fellow Hip Hop star, Offset of the Migos, now a new relationship, movies she was in the Oscar nominared, Hustlers, and Furious 9, tv appearances, touring, a few civil court cases, MTV, Billboard, AMA wins, crushing it at the Met Gala between 2018-2025. Cardi is back finally with her follow up sophomore album, “Am I the drama?" her new single, "Imaginary Playerz"  just debuted with the permission behind the mogul, fellow hip hop/rapper, New Yorker, Jay-Z gave his blessing on this album


 












The artwork is beautiful breathtaking with a tribute to the 20th century filmmaker, Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 film, “The Birds”. Cardi B is ready to promote her album, tour, and get out there doesn’t matter what’s coming in her way. She has been promoting hard and that’s what we love. The artwork is symbolic of Cardi's love-hate relationship with the media and press. She knows how to work it and set boundaries at the same time too. 

The woman continues to inspire people with her outspoken, real, authenticity honesty if she's on social media posting on You Tube or Instagram.  She’s smart, comical, theatrical, and she brings the sassiness. Cardi has the ability to bring the best of New York her hometown to her performances, to her music, and most of all as an artist. In New York we know drama (take it from me as a fellow New York native). 

We know theatrics, we know what is it is to put on a show. We can bring a good plot twist, the emotion, and release it all on the stage or floor. I know she can put on a show I have seen her perform live in 2019 in East Rutherford, NJ at the Met Life Stadium at Hot 97’s  annual summer jam. 
I will defintely be there in 2026 to see her on tour again.  So are you ready to see Cardi B’s new tour, album, and stream her music I know I am. Cardi’s new long awaited album will feature “The Queen of R&B Dance & Pop”, Janet Jackson, Summer Walker, Selena Gomez, Cash Cobain, Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi will reunite again after their number one hit song "WAP", newcomer,  the Johannesburg Afro beats princess, Tyla, Kehlani, Lourdiz, and Lizzo! This album has been long waited so it’s amazing like they say some creative projects take time. I believe when you let something simmer it’s going to bring that extra flavor. Get ready for that extra hot sauce flavor of Cardi with the second album. We know our girl brings the fierce looks she slays fashion week, the stage presence, and the performances.

"The Boy is Mine" Tour coming this Fall 2025 with Brandy, Monica, Kelly Rowland, Muni Long, and Jamal Roberts

 
























These two women are my heroes Brandy & Monica growing up singing around the house, as a “Radio Kid” my mother worked in sales/advertising and promotion in both the radio and television industries. I was hooked on music. I think even before I fully understood what she was doing as her profession I grown up with both of my parents constantly playing music ain our living rooms. Going to visit family members and spend the night my aunts, uncles, cousins were probably playing music on the radio, their cassette/CD players, or their surround sound systems. I once even dressed up went to my Catholic school in 7th grade as Monica for Halloween 1998. So we always had music playing around the house. Or attending concerts and shows. I remember discovering Brandy first in 1994 with her first album my father had a cassette of Brandy in the car I see this young girl wearing braids, a beige hat, overalls, and boots. 

Brandy is back and will headline her 2025 tour this fall starts October 16, 2025














I remember seeing Brandy's music videos and she just looked like someone you wanted to know. Someone you wanted in your corner. Friendly, sweet, pure good girl, and she was strong, smart, and funny. Brandy Rayana Norwood later branched out into the acting world appearing on BET’s “Thea”, “Moesha”, “I still know what you did last summer”, “Cinderella”, “Double Platinum”, “Osmosis Jones”, “The Front Room”, “The Perfect Match”, and “Descendants: The rise of Red”. Brandy has had multiplatinum albums “Brandy”, “Never say Never” , “Afrodisiac” which included her hit songs “I wanna be down”, “Brokenhearted” ft Wanya Morris “Sittin’ Up in my room” featured on “The Waiting to Exhale” soundtrack”, “Have You Ever”, “Full Moon”, “What about us?” were all on the top 100 Billboard charts. Brandy continues to evolve in the music industry paving the way for other artists and is even helping her daughter, Syrai with her upcoming career because she sings as well. Brandy is brilliant always is authentic with her lyrics and her creativity in her lyrics. So who else is joining Brandy on tour? Look below we have Kelly Rowland, Monica, Muni Long, and newcomer Jamal Roberts. 

 Brandy will also have a memoir coming out this  spring 2026 (March 6, 2026)  all about her childhood, upbringing, and journey into stardom. Look out for that hitting all bookstores this spring. 


The original "Miss Thang", Monica will headline and join Brandy on tour this fall 
 






















 Monica Denise Arnold born October 24, 1980 in College Park, GAI have written about Monica for a long time and I am so honored to do it again. I have written about both of these ladies and it’s always a pleasure because when you get to write about phenomenal and strong women. You want to continue to share why they are so incredible again. Monica with her soulful, sassy, powerful voice. She can sing a ballad, a pop song, a R&B, gospel, or a hip-hop song. Monica will join Brandy on this tour because why not she was a part of their number 1 hit “The Boy is Mine”. Which makes perfect sense. Monica has had her number 1 hit songs from her debut album “Miss Thang” in 1995 and has gone on to reach the Billboard charts as well with songs “First Night”, “For you I will”, “Don’t take it personal (just one them days), “That’s why I love you so much”, “Everything to Me”, and many more songs I feel should have been number 1 on that list like “Angel of Mine”. Monica also has branched out into acting appearing in “Love Song”, “ATL”, “Family Hustle”, and “True Celebrity Crime” as a host. These two queens deserve to be on the stage but they will not share the spotlight as a duo. 




Kelly Rowland will join Monica & Brandy on tour this fall 2025


















Next to join them on stage.... Wait for it Kelly Rowland one of the original members of Destiny’s Child: Beyonce and Michelle and a multiplatinum, Grammy award, NAACP winning star will join Monica and Brandy along with Muni Long will be a part of this epic tour this fall 2025. Kelly I don’t even need to tell you who she is but this phenomenal queen has branched out to pop, R&B, hip hop, and EDM. Kelly has had her share of top 100 hits on Billboard “Dilemma” ft. Nelly, “Neva End” ft. Future, “Motivation” ft. Lil Wayne. Kelly we know is a star in her own right also making appearances in several films as well , Netflix's “Mea Culpa”(2024), “The Seat Filler” (2011), “Think Like A Man”(2012) as well as television appearances and cameos too. 


Priscilla Renae aka "Muni Long" the hitmaker, songwriter, and singer










 Last but not least as part of the female lineup is Muni Long born (Priscilla Renae) from Gifford, Florida. I am a huge fan her lyrics, pure magic Muni can literally pull out a magical wand pen take a piece of paper and write a hit in about 5-10 minutes. I love her lyrics its hard for us creatives to interpret certain feelings, stories, or experiences then tap into our emotions. Plus you have to find a way for the listeners to figure out your lyrics and the meaning in about 3 ½ -5 minutes. She has done it flawlessly. Striking gold each time with her lyrics. Muni is a theatrical performer if you have seen her on award shows she knows how to tell a story with her performance. She continues to slay award shows performance wise and with her Billboard Music, BET Awards, and Grammy award winning achievements. This woman has a gift she knows how to connect with her audience. She also can connect with her fellow singers and songwriters. Prior to her taking her place in the spotlight. She started out writing for Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Madonna, Pitbull, Chris Brown, Kesha, Ma$e, Ty Dolla Sign, Cam’ron, Ariana Grande and others. She deserves this chance as an artist to grow with thes e fellow divas because they know how to work the spotlight, take a stage, and develop strong connections with their audiences. They also know about longevity what it takes to stay and to be memorable for not only months but years to take successful. I am excited for Brandy’s tour and so happy she will have these fabulous divas on stage to join her too. They begin their tour October 16th and will continue all the way into late December 2025.

"Berries with Chocolate" this FALL 2025 Fashions

 

Pantone’s color of Mocha this fall includes hues of all browns: mocha, chocolate, caramel, honey, beige, and cinnamon can be paired this fall. You don’t have to go straight brown but you can mix and match with plaid prints, houndstooth, color block with bright colors like oranges and mustard yellow. 

 There are ways to include the shades of mocha this year that keep you fashionable, fun, and staying on point with your fashion all the way into the new year. 

 For young ladies and men in their late teens and early 20s why not incorporate some fun shades of brown with a cool brown leather jacket, a peacoat, a long trench coat, brown high knee boots for ladies, or a cool pair of dark brown boots for men with the eight pair of jeans, shirt, and hat. You can look cool in college, at your first job interview, and finding your special person with date nights too. Women and men in their 30s and 40s fashion is still important you can incorporate your love of tailored blouses, funky nostalgic t-shirts, prints, or favorite colors into your fashion. You can still be youthful without trying to hard but still look on point. 


I believe when you hit this age group this is when you really get to define who you are as a person. You’ve been through adolescence you’ve played around with hair, make up, fashion choices, fads, and trends. By the time you hit your thirties and forties. You’re learning how to find balance in clothes with work, date night, play night, guys night out/girls night out, vacation trips, job interviews, parent-teacher nights, and all of the important events in your social calendar in between. 


 In your fifties, sixties, and beyond I consider this the time when you reach your queen status you know who you are, you’ve reached that height and level in life where you have survived it all. You are well aware of your strengths, your flaws, what makes you significant on the planet, how you can be of better service to others too. You know your fashion sense, what works for you, and your personal style. So fall fall to my queens who are a little higher in life age experience. Queens wear your faux fur coats, your structured jackets, your faux fur hats, scarves, and gloves. 


I am a huge lover of Harper Bazaar magazines style at any age section. I love how they make fashion fun, exciting, they create articles for women where they show their unique creative style through boutiques, department stores, thrift shops, and even sample racks. This is great for people who want a stylist or who are stylist themselves. It’s an easy way to take a color and easily use a blank canvas for yourself and add the accessories you need. So in honor of the 2025 Pantone color: Mocha Mousse and with a touch of burgundies, emerald greens, navys, plum purples you’re on your way to a fantabulous fashion forward fall.   



 


All of these looks you can find on fashionnova.com, akira.com, and ClubLondonL.com
