At a steady rate, the Bahamian entertainment scene is blossoming into what will be a reputable one someday. Aspiring pop acts, artists and musicians are turning up from every corner and we have a new one to present to you.

Queen’s College High School graduate Dinetia Dean is beginning what will hopefully be a successful career in the music industry. Those of us who know her as Dinetia Dean will have to get use to her stage name, Saniyah, now. Saniyah was the leading lady in the music video for Big AC’s “The Anthem.” Fast forward a few months to the day she released her debut single, “Abuse the Music,” and here is what Dash had to say:

Abuse the music is the debut single from Bahamian Pop singer Saniyah. It’s obvious that this chick has grown up on some Janet Jackson (and to a lesser degree some Ciara) because the influences are unavoidable. The sound is urban but has a slight europop undertone with minimal yet pristine production. Overall it is a fair first offering, which neither dazzles nor disappoints. Really what this song needs is some more ABUSE!! We just wish that the song was attacked with more vigor. Instead of pouncing like a ferocious lioness the chorus was approached like a house cat playing with a ball of yarn. On a more positive note we must give two thumps way up for the songwriters who have crafted something that is danceable and smooth and has an international appeal.

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. The single is a solid first effort but there is a lot of growth to be done.

British trio Keane is readying the release of their Night Train EP for a May 11 release. The first song from the 8 track EP is “Clear Skies” which premiered yesterday.

“Clear Skies” finds the band taking a rare route from their usual sound. The song begins with acoustics: handclaps, vocals and some guitar playing. The song eventually progresses into a more upbeat fest with the heavily used xylophone making an appearance. It’s a neat little change for the band and sonically, it sounds just as great.

*Checks MGMT off the list* Okay, so MGMT’s sophomore album, Congratulations, is one we are really looking forward to and today the duo served us all with a free download of a single song entitled “Flash Delirium.” We were already made aware that this album would be on the other side of the fence of what Oracular Spectacular was.

This song is definitely no “Electric Feel” or “Kids”; the singles that made them the huge crossover success they are. The song is a bit closer in sound to “The Handshake,” though. All sorts of uniformity is lost in the song with a flute sound here, a whisper there, and other pounding sounds everywhere.

By the sound of this new MGMT song they want to eradicate all traces of them ever having mainstream success. Of course this will cause direct some fans away and regain some new and even original ones.

Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis Travie McCoy has gone solo for the time being with a new single, “Billionaire,” featuring Bruno Mars. The single is from McCoy’s solo debut, Lazarus, which will hit music outlets on June 8, 2010.

Mars did a great job on the hook for B.o.B.’s “Nothin’ On You” but he absolutely claimed this song. With the combination of the organic/tropical live instrumentation and Mars’ vocals he gives off a slight, dare we say it, Jason Mraz flow. Alright, don’t slaughter us for saying that because we mean it in the nicest way. This song has McCoy written all over it and this is such a great song and we  now look forward to his album.

We do not know about you all but T.I.’s stint in prison went by quicker than we thought it would have. Well, yup, ya boy has returned to the Hip-Hop scene with a new track entitled “I’m Back” produced by the Trackslayerz.

T.I. is showing us all that he went to prison as he wears his tough exterior from head to toe. The street single is a taste  of what’s to come from the rapper’s forthcoming seventh studio album. This is good ol’ fashioned T.I., so plug your ears with this.

Taylah and Kelci a.k.a. Vistoso Bosses just premiered their first single entitled “Tatted” featuring Waka Flocka. There is no news on their upcoming first album but they are releasing a mixtape on March 15: The World Would Suck Without Girls.

It’s an alright jam but ever since “Delirious” hit the net back in early ‘09 it seems nothing they’ve released after comes close to it. That song just had a unique and catchy flavor. This new single sounds like it’s conforming to what’s supposed to be on the radio. The girls can come better and it seems that Waka Flocka is about to follow Gucci Mane’s explosion and flood all the urban songs.

Chicago Hip-Hop duo, Kidz In the Hall, is readying the release of their third studio album, Land of Make Believe. They’ve released some singles from the upcoming project already but a new leak (a new single) has been pushed to the forefront. The new track is “Take Over the World” and features Just Blaze and Colin Munroe.

Don’t you just love the Hip-Hop tracks with a catchy hook, of course you do. Colin Munroe sets the mood of the song from the start and the rest of the feel-good flow follows. We’re going to have to check out their new album now because they have some serious skills. Only problem is, the track seems to be snipped before it finishes.

Kat DeLuna, y’know the cute one with the pudgy face and fiery persona, has had NO luck with the release of her sophomore album, Inside Out. Kat and her label are still pushing (no pun intended) for an album release later on in 2010. Well the latest single from the project, “Push Push,” featuring Akon and produced by RedOne is here in its mastered form.

We give up, we can’t resist, we’re addicted to this RedOne number. To us, it’s much better than the Lil Wayne collaboration and it’s a sound that complements her. Realistically speaking, the peak of Kat’s career was “Whine Up.” Not knocking her down in any way but c’mon…

So much for Friday because after the hype and wait Drake’s first single from Thank Me Later is here. The first single, “Over,” is produced by Boi-1da.

Is this a street single or a radio single because this is not IT. It will make a great album cut though. Drake has pretty much became a heavy hittin’ mainstream artist and we thought the works would be brought out for him. Maybe it’s a build up but we’re so sick of buying into the hype and being let down.

We will however give it to Drake for the lyrics in this song. He’s basically stating his time has not even begun, he has plenty more time for shine and success. Alright, he got us there but yea, we want more epic vibes.

Xenomania discovery, Mini Viva, is gearing up for their third single release on May 3rd. The single, “One Touch,” was formerly known as “Do You Want a Candy” but received a name change for good reason.

Aren’t the duo just the definition of Pop music, we seem to think so. There is something appealing and catchy about the pint-size cuties. The single is dance, upbeat, energetic, etc… Take a listen.
