All Hail The Queen (and more new music)

Queen latifah "Persona"

Queen Latifah "Persona"

Today we look at music…two big new releases (and one album from last week that’s getting so much buzz I thought I’d ask your opinion). First up, all hail People’s Choice Awards’ own Queen Latifah. Her latest solo record “Persona” hits stores today, and of course she rocked the first single at the American Idol season finale.  Also lending a hand on this record we’ve got Missy Elliot, Busta Rhymes and Mary J. Blige. (Be sure to check out this featured bonus track “Fair Weather Friend” exclusively on iTunes, written by People’s Choice member Ingrid Woode!) Next, the new record from another leading lady who’s no stranger to TV, Broadway and everything in between — Reba McEntire. The Oklahoma songstress made us wait 6 years for this one, entitled “Keep On Loving You,” and it’s already selling — will you check it out?And finally, we have a new record from one of music’s greatest living legends. Exactly 50 years since he scored his first Number One Hit as lead singer of the Miracles, Smokey Robinson is back — with a new solo release called “Time Flies When You’re Having Fun” (and Smokey gets a little help from his friends Joss Stone, India Arie and Carlos Santana). So what’ll it be, do any of these new titles tickle your fancy? If they do, voice your choice in today’s featured poll and tell us which one you’ll check out first!

1) Queen Latifah “Persona”
