June's Diary debut first music video, "L.A.N.C.E."

Kelly Rowland's hand-selected supergroup, June's Diary has made their first red carpet appearance and debuted their first ever music video titled "L.A.N.C.E." Their first single "L.A.N.C.E." is an acronym for "Lying Ass Nigga Cheating Everyday". The Chasing Destiny girls, Shyann Roberts, Kristal Lyndriette, Brienna DeVlugt, Ashly Williams and Gabrielle Carreiro are certainly doing just that with their latest track, giving all sorts of Destiny's Child realness. June's Diary made their first red carpet appearance at the 2016 BET Awards yesterday and collectively slayed the carpet, in all of their shades of melanin.



Check out the video below.

Kelly Rowland's Girl Group releases new buzz track from Chasing Destiny.


If you've been under a rock, let me let you in on something #POPPIN, BET and Kelly Rowland premiered the finale of the 10 part docu-series "Chasing Destiny" Tuesday night. Chasing Destiny is a docu-series focused on Kelly Rowland and choreographer Frank Gatson Jr.'s search and creation of the next big girl group. Following directly in the footsteps of En Vogue and Destiny's Child, the unnamed girl group is oozing with talent. All 5 girls, Brienna, Ashly, Shyann, Kristal, and Gabby boast unique, powerhouse voices.
Throughout the series the girls were met with historical icons such as New Edition and En Vogue to offer sound advice and direction for the music industry.


At the finale the girls debuted their new buzz tracks "All Of Us" and "It's Alright". It's Alright was a gift from creator Kelly Rowland, it would've been a track on her last album. The girls offer a soul, talent and unity, 3 key factors that are missing in today's music industry and in particular female and R&B genre. Check out their singles below. We're eager for visuals and their career to come.
