An Open Letter to you (the fans):
I hope this gets to you the right way. It’s the only way I know to do it. Some people may criticize me for the last 3 days. But it was fun, right?? Right?!?! Besides, I’d rather speak directly to all of you. And, who can knock me for having a little bit of fun with it?
Well… No more teasing. Although, it was A LOT of fun. (Did I mention that I’m having fun with this?? Ha!)
*Makes a serious face*
So, here goes:
This year is an exciting one for me. As you probably have heard through the “grapevine,” I’m gearing up for a big 2013.
Back in June of last year, I quietly started working on what is now, my next journey with that thing I love called MUSIC.
The inspiration for this really came out of the blue and to be honest, I didn’t expect anything out of it. I just went into the studio and started playing around with some sounds and songs. It was probably the best time I’ve had in my career… Just creating with no rules and/or end goal in mind and really enjoying the process.
What I came up with is something I couldn’t be more excited about! It is full of inspiration that I grew up listening to and some newfound muses that I’ve discovered along the way.
I’m calling it “The 20/20 Experience,” and it’s coming out this year.
I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.
That’s all I’m giving you for now… I know, I know! Again, with the teasing!!!
Get ready. This is going to be fun (well, at least it is for me).
Quite a bit of Destiny’s Child news this week. First Beyonce announced that trio had reunited for a new song and compilation album. Then we learned Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams would join Bey at the Super Bowl halftime show. And now, just in time for the weekend, the single is here. “Nuclear,” the only original song off the trio’s upcoming album “Love Songs,” hit the web Friday.
The Pharrell Williams-produced breakbeat track sounds like the ’90s, but in a slower, more … background-y way. Those pining for something a bit more “Say My Name” or “Jumpin’ Jumpin'” are sure to be disappointed. That said, if you’re looking for Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams to morph into a single, blanket-like voice, you’re in luck.
Eve is back and this me she is making sure that the masses will pay attention and take notice this time around. After a decade-long hiatus, the Philly rapper returns for 2013 with the video for “She Bad Bad,” the first single off her fourth album Lip Lock. Look for her official comeback this April on her own label, Blondie Rockwell Inc.
