THE KING IS BACK!

We haven’t had new music from Justin Timberlake since he dropped The 20/20 Experience part 2 back in 2013. With Justin’s superbowl performance right around the corner, he decided to give us an album release date and what is rumored to be a single a week till it’s release.

The album is titled, Man of The Woods, and is due out February 2nd. “Filthy” is the first single from Timberlake in over 5 years! It is written and produced by Timbaland, Timberlake and Danja who each had a huge hand in Timberlake’s Futuresex/LoveSounds era.

On first listen it is definitely different from what we are used to hearing from the soulful singer, but so was his Futuresex/LoveSounds album, and look how that turned out. I absolutely love this track and am so ready for what is to come from the “MOTW” era!!!

NEW MUSIC: Jennifer Hudson – Walk It Out [Ft. Timbaland]

After releasing her fun and safe, T.I assisted single, ‘The Way I Feel’, Jennifer Hudson comes back pretty strong. Her new Timbaland assisted single ‘Walk It Out’, is a little more Rihanna flavored, but that doesn’t take away anything from Hudson, because lets be honest, the 2 don’t even compare. Jennifer Hudson shows us she can change her sound up and still sound amazing. I’m loving this track, definitely doing something she hasn’t done before. I want to hear more from this side, although her soulful ballad side is just as good, anyway take a listen below!

 

NEW MUSIC: Missy Elliott – 9th Inning + Triple Threat

FCK YES. The Queen is BACK!

YES.YES.YES.YES
I can’t contain my excitement, both of these tracks are pure fire and I’m so glad to hear Missy back after her long hiatus, and it was definitely well worth the wait. I was a bit worried when I heard Timbaland was behind these Missy tracks because I didn’t want a trademark Timbo beat, but it just goes to show that these two are definitely an unstoppable force.

9th Inning, is a more exciting track, with Missy giving her standard fire flow over a piano based beat, basically pushing aside any of these newcomers. Triple Threat has more of a Timbaland influence, and is a little more repetitive, but still has that Missy flow that we have been waiting 7 years for. Either way, I can finally say that this Missy album will definitely be one to watch, and could very well slay the charts.

Let me not hold you anymore to some actual rap music, listen below!

SNIPPET: Missy Elliott – 9th Inning

For those of you like me, and can’t wait for the epic return of Queen Missy, well wait no longer! The snippet sounds like an intro to the song, or something because there is no real beat drop, but that Missy flow is exactly what is needed. This track sounds like pure fire, and I’m hearing rumors that she pushed back the release of this track a week, so by next week we should have this song, and another too.

Watch out, Missy is coming to slay all these fresh artists!

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT/NEW VIDEO: Lyrica Anderson – Love Me

I recently saw Lyrica perform at a venue at SXSW and immediately fell in love. After doing some research, I found out the talent behind the big haired beauty is super producer Timbaland. Having support from one of the most influential producers in our generation is never a bad thing and it definitely shows in this track ‘Love Me’.

NEW MUSIC: Timbaland – Break Ya Back [Ft. Dev]

Timbaland has released the Radio Rip version of his first single off his highly anticipated Shock Value III featuring recent top 40 feature queen, Dev. Fresh off the extremely exciting news that he and Missy Elliott are closer and closer to releasing new music, he drops this banger!

I have to say, I’m extremely glad that he ditched his typical Timbo beat and changed it up. I was getting tired of hearing the the non progressive beat that he was experimenting with. This beat is absolutely sick and I have to admit Dev adds a lot of sex appeal to the song. After hearing this, I do have a little faith in this new album he is dropping and I can’t wait to hear more!

I’m more excited for the return of Queen Missy!
