Here is the official video for "Hold My Hand", the lead single from Michael Jackson's first posthumous album 'Michael', due on December 14th.

The first single from Michael Jackson's first posthumous album 'Michael', has surfaced in the form of "Hold My Hand", a duet with hit-maker Akon.

Unlike the recent travesty "Breaking News", this newly-finished cut, which the star reportedly expressed he wanted to be his lead single, adds to the icon's impressive legacy as it is nothing short of a winner (Listen Below).

Hip-hop stud Nelly has premiered the official video for "Move That Body", featuring Akon and T-Pain, taken from his upcoming album 'Nelly 5.0'.

Kat Deluna has released her new video for "Push Push", which was produced by hit-maker David Guetta and features Akon. Peep the clip, which serves as the first single from 'Inside Out', by clicking 'Read More':

Following songwriter Claude Kelly saying that comparisons between Christina Aguilera and Lady GaGa are "crap", Akon recently offered his opinions on the controversial battle. View his comments by clicking 'Read More':

Wyclef Jean & Akon

Male R&B stars Maxwell, Trey Songz, John Legend and Akon were among the stars at the 2010 Grammy Awards on Sunday, January 31st.

Music stars Akon and Keri Hilson team up for the charity single "Oh Africa", which will be available for digital purchase following the 2010 Grammys.

With her sophomore album penciled in for a May release, Keri Hilson gets assistance from Akon in the video for "Change Me", which is rumored to be the final single release from 'In A Perfect World...'.

To put it simply, the song couldn't possibly be any more annoying and stands as one of the lesser cuts on her debut release. That said, although the video only manages to become so-so, Hilson looks nice throughout the clip.

Following the moderate success of "Whine Up", singer Kat Deluna has been struggling to find the track that will prevent her from being labeled as merely a one-hit wonder. "Push" has been confirmed as the lead single from her sophomore album 'Inside Out'.

While this is easily the best offering she has dished up since "Whine Up", I can't help but feel that it lacks any variety from the dance offerings she has delivered in the past. It shows no growth as an artist or a vocalist, and further shortens the height that her career could potentially reach.

R&B star Cassie will release the Akon-assisted "Let's Get Crazy", as the next single from her forthcoming sophomore album, Electro Love. The track previously leaked in March, but this is said to be the official and final version.

While it does have somewhat of a Pop appeal that wasn't apparent in her earlier singles "Official Girl" and "Must Be Love", it still fails to become anything other than pure rubbish. As one of those who thought her debut album was solid, the missing element of Ryan Leslie, who oversaw a bulk of her first project, seems to have the Ms.Ventura stuck at a standstill.

"Let's Get Crazy", is a track from Cassie's forthcoming sophomore album and features assistance from Akon. Check it out:

The performance was still just okay, but the interview made for a good laugh. Ellen is a trip, which is why she continues to rack up them Emmys.

The trio FAILED to bring any energy to the performance, but the chemistry between Nelly and Ashanti was interesting to see, even Nelly couldn't keep his hands to himself. The trio will also perform together tomorrow on Ellen and the 22nd on Jimmy Kimmel.
