New Video: "The Game" (Kelly Rowland)

The World Cup has already kicked off in Brazil, but that hasn't stopped Pepsi's soccer-inspired visual album Beats of the Beautiful Game to continue to churn out the hits for the FIFA competition.

This time, Kelly Rowland has stepped up to the plate with the official video for her joint "The Game" getting the visual treatment courtesy of the legendary Spike Lee. Speaking about her joint "The Game," Kelly said that she "was immediately attracted to ‘The Game’ because I can identify with its theme of overcoming challenges and finding your voice... It's a very important message and I'm honored to partner with Pepsi on a project that brings the worlds of music, sports, and film together. As an artist—and a huge film and sports fan—it’s been an incredible experience."

With that said, peep the official Spike Lee helmed and directed music video for "The Game" below and Enjoy!

New Video: "Love & Sex Part 2" (Joe ft. Kelly Rowland)

Joe's latest album Doubleback: Evolution of R&B was one of the most slept on albums of 2013 in my opinion and while his tenth studio album is still getting love from radio with his grown and sexy duet "Love & Sex" with Fantasia, Joe has now released a sequel to his hit single.

Electing to feature Kelly Rowland on the sequel to "Love & Sex" aptly entitled "Love & Sex Part 2," Joe has rolled out a new video as he premieres the song, which is acting as the first single from Joe's forthcoming eleventh studio album Bridges, which is hard at work on and has slated for release this July.

With that said, watch the official video for "Love & Sex Part 2" from Joe and Kelly Rowland below and Enjoy!
