It looks like Christina Milian will be making sweet music again…

The 30-year-old Cuban-American singer and actress—currently serving as the social media corresponded on NBC’s The Voice—has joined Lil Wayne‘s Young Money crew.

“The answer is….Yes. Let’s Get To Work! I Heart You Guys.. It’s Now or Never,” announced Milian on Twitter on Sunday.

Lil Wayne introduced Milian at the Cash Money pre-Grammy party on Sunday, according to Billboard.com, telling the crowd, “Y’all make some noise for Christina Milian… Young Money Christina Milian!”

The label—home to Drake and Nicki Minaj—is expected to release Milian’s much-delayed fourth album in the near future.

The new release has been a work in progress since 2008, and was formerly attached t oseveral  labels including Interscope and Radio Killa Records, the home of Milian’s ex-husband, The-Dream.

One version of the album, then titled “Elope,” was said to have been completed in 2009 under the helm of The-Dream and Tricky Stewart; where the project stands now remains to be seen.

Romeo Santos isn’t afraid to blend, especially if it means expanding his musical sound to reach new audiences…

The 30-year-old Dominican-American singer, who recently released his debut solo album at the top of the Billboard Latin Albums chart, says he’s hoping to partner with Mexican singer Alejandro Fernandez to blend ranchera music with bachata.

During a recent press conference in Mexico, the former Aventura front man confessed that his greatest “challenge” is the ability to spread his music and share it with other artists of different genres and countries.

“I would like to collaborate with Alejandro Fernandez to be able to mix genre,” said Santos, who admits to listening to Canadian crooner Michael Buble and legendary Mexican singers Vicente Fernandez and Juan Gabriel. “It would be interesting to mix bachata with rancheras.”

Santos’ new solo album “Formula Vol. 1” already includes collaborations with well-known artists like Mexico’s Mario Domm from the group Camila; Spaniards La Mala Rodriguez and Tomati and American singers Usher, Lil Wayne and Pitbull.

Santos expressed his desire to bring his culture and music to the entire world and said he’s ready to push forward as a solo artist to “conquer” hearts in the European and Asian markets.

“My intent is to exceed expectations and conquer the public in Spain, Japan and Brazil,” said Santos, who will begin his world tour in the United States in February 2012.

Romeo Santos is getting ready for a new “adventure”… The lead singer of bachata group Aventura will star in a new ABC comedy series.

Produced by Will Smith, the still-untitled project centers on a single Dominican-American man trying to please his harsh immigrant father while pursuing his own American dreams.

 “The show is about the different beliefs and how we think,” said Romeo during a Q&A session at the Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies (AHAA)conference in Miami on Wednesday. “It’s a show about the difference between how we think and how our parents think.”

Even though this will be the 30-year-old Dominican-American singer’s first acting stint, Santos isn’t ending his music career.

The Bronx, New York native is set to release his first solo album, “Formula Vol. 1” on November 8. It’ll feature collaborations with Lil Wayne, Usher and Pitbull among others, and include tracks in English and Spanish.
