                          Youssou N'dour shakes hands with opposition leader Macky Sall

    Senegalese music icon Youssou N'dour has thrown his weight behind presidential hopeful Macky Sall in his bid to thwart Abdoulaye Wade's bid to win a third term in a run-off election this month.
   Speaking after a meeting with Mr Sall, N'dour said that nearly 70 per cent of voters had shown they wanted to see the back of the 85-year-old when they cast their ballots in favour of opposition candidates in Sunday's first round.
   'The change is already there, now it is just a matter of putting it into action,' N'dour told journalists in brief comments after the meeting.
     The Grammy-winning star's spokesman told journalists that 'Macky Sall has already agreed to' several unspecified demands that N'dour had made as a condition for his support.

Chris brown receives grammy awards

   R&B superstar chris brown will release his fifth studio album titled Fortune in May,his record label RCA said.
   "I hope this album shows growth and positivity to all my fans and will inspire them to live life to the fullest!!!" ."The reason for may 8th is so you ( the fans) can have more music to make ur decision on if u want #FORTUNE" Brown posted on his Twitter about the upcoming May 8 album release.
   "Fortune" will follow on from Brown's fourth album "F.A.M.E," which was released in March 2011, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and spawned hits such as "Look At Me Now" and "Yeah 3x." Brown also picked up the Grammy award for best R&B album last month.
  The singer has been attempting to rework his tarnished image after he was arrested and pleaded guilty to beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna in February 2009. Brown was sentenced to five-year probation, which he is currently mid-way through serving.
  The singer musically reconciled with Rihanna last month, as the songstress added her vocals on a remix of Brown's new uptempo dance song "Turn Up The Music" while Brown lent his voice to Rihanna's sexually-charged song "Birthday Cake."

     Brown recently released the music video for  "Turn Up The Music," the lead single from "Fortune," which amassed more than 10 million views since its release on February 17.
  The new album "Fortune" will be released in two editions, standard and deluxe, with the latter featuring additional songs and a collectable cover.
