If You Don't Know, Now You Know: Jaicko

Capitol Records just signed a 17-year old Barbados native by the name of Jaicko. The new singer has been hard at work with his solo debut and his new single, "Oh Yeah" has just been released and he sounds good. He has the R&B and pop vibes with a dash of reggae influence in the song and I'm sure it will be like that with his new single. Listen to "Oh Yeah" below.

If You Don't Know, Now You Know: RichGirl

RichGirl is a new R&B girl group put together by prominent record producer Rich Harrison (Beyoncé, Amerie, Mya). It comprises of four girls by the names of Seven, Audra, Brave, and Lyndriette. Brave was signed by Harrison as a solo artist when she was 15 years old. Seven was discovered through MySpace, and Audra joined the group through an open audition. Once RichGirl was formed, the members began living together in Atlanta.

The group's name, RichGirl, refers to "a certain attitude and confidence, combined with individuality and talent that any girl might posses", rather than material items. Brave says that their sound is "very honest", and "each song tells a specific story". The group wants to "bring the singing back to the songs", which they feel is lacking in the music industry. The singers describe themselves as a cross between En Vogue and the Spice Girls, citing the individuality, but still being a whole. RichGirl is inspired by the looks, sophistication and classiness of En Vogue.

The girl group is often compared to Electrik Red.

Their new single "He Ain't Wit Me Now (Tho)" is out now and the music video is below.

If You Don't Know, Now You Know: Electrik Red

With a lot of promise, experience in the entertainment (already), and help from A-List duo The Dream and Tricky Stewart, four girls (Kyndra "Binkie" Reevey, Lesley Lewis, Naomi Allen and Sarah Rosete) form a sizzling R&B girl group, going by the name of Electrik Red.

Electrik Red is comprised of two sets of childhood friends, Reevey and Lewis from New York City and Allen and Rosete from Toronto. While working as back-up dancers for Usher in his 2004 Confession Tour, Reevey and Lewis asked Rosete if she wanted to be a part of their girl group. Rosete agreed to join, but requested that they meet with her best friend, Allen, who they "fell in love with". The group moved to Los Angeles where they began working with different producers, including Shannon "Slam" Lawrence and Rodney Jerkins. Electrik Red was formed finally in 2005.

The group signed a record deal with Def Jam Records in 2008 by record executive L.A. Reid. After a meet and greet with The-Dream, the girls were co-signed to his Def Jam based label with Trciky Stewart, Radio Killa Records.

Their debut album, How to Be a Lady: Volume 1, has already spawned three singles and was released today, May 26, 2009. The group explained they named the album as a "play on the stereotype of what a lady is supposed to be, how she is supposed to act and what she is supposed to say. We're bringing a new age woman to the world." The group wanted to show that it was "okay to be different".

Personally, I think these girls are promosing. They can sing and their dancing is definitely on point. Not only those two things, they have a great production team right behind them. The-Dream has written and produced some of today's biggest hits. Let's give these girls some love while their being the ladies that they are.
