Video: Justin Timberlake - "Suit & Tie (feat. Jay-Z)

After a six-year absence from his still-fresh sophomore album FutureSex/LoveSounds, Justin Timberlake has finally released a new song. The track, titled "Suit & Tie" is cut from his upcoming third studio album, which he has promised will be released this year.

Justin worked with Timbaland and Jay-Z on the track, which features the latter's signature vocals. While the song isn't the Jay-Z/Kanye/Beyonce team-up we were all hoping for, it's still a solid release. It may not be exactly the comeback single he needs, but it's sure to generate buzz about his upcoming album.

Check out "Suit & Tie" below and let me know what you think!

The Saturdays - "What About Us"

Quite possibly my favorite girl group of all time (sorry Spice Girls), The Saturdays are finally on the brink of fame in America. Their new reality show "Chasing The Saturdays" premiere's Sunday on E! and they've finally released the music video for their lead U.S. single "What About Us."

The single also serves as the name for their upcoming EP, which is out January 29th via Mercury/Polydor. While the song isn't quite the huge release we've been used to from the group (see: "All Fired Up," "Forever Is Over," etc.), it's definitely promising of their release in the U.S.

I'm really digging the video as well, which is basically the girls looking fierce and rolling around Los Angeles. Nothing more, nothing less. My prediction is the ladies are saving themselves for a full album release and this is just scratching the surface. They do have five seasons on E!, after all.

Check out the video below for "What About Us" and keep your eyes peeled for the Sats on TV! They've already hit Chelsea Lately, Leno and Today!

Azealia Banks - "No Problems"

Starting 2013 off with a bang is the one and only Azealia Banks, who has recently released not one but two killer cuts from her upcoming debut album Broke With Expensive Taste, which drops in February. The first, "BBD (Bad Bitches Do It)" is absolutely amazing on it's own and features Banks' signature flow and killer beat. I'm still hung up on the drum kit that is just so unbelievably fresh.


The other stems from a bit more controversy: after igniting a feud with Angel Haze over god knows what, Azealia released "NO PROBLEMS," which is a bit more downtempo from "BBD" and reminds me a little more of "1991" from her EP 1991. It's a classic diss track that has the superstar rapper firing back at Haze with some great lines. "You mad bitch/You average"might still be my subtle favorite.

I think I'm a bigger fan of Azealia pissed off at someone than just her throwing down in a box. I can't wait for the fire she brings at Perez Hilton after their Twitter war earlier this morning. Ahhh, Happy New Year.

Girls Aloud Return To Music With "Something New"

I know the video dropped a few weeks back. I know I'm beyond late to this game. And I know this is the Girls Aloud's world and I'm just lucky enough to live in it.

That being said, I just need to comment on the latest from the Almighty Aloud. The quintet have announced their 10th anniversary tour and greatest hits CD, featuring four freshly-crafted new tunes to help fans last another decade. The production will be left to the spectacular Brian Higgins and his team over at Xenomania, who have been responsible for so many of the Girls' previous hits. Their latest release is no different.

"Something New" is a fantastic blend of old Girls Aloud mixed with the new blend of pop currently dominating the airwaves. It's got a little bit of "Something Kinda Ooooh" with the off-kilter "Sexy! No No No..." to round it out. It's everything I love about the Girls mixed with everything I could ever want. It's a good thing The Saturday's have got their new American reality show on E! premiering in January, because they've just been majorly shown up.


It's been two weeks and I still can't handle it.

The Best Cut From '18 Months'

Dj-Songwriter-Extraordinaire Calvin Harris' third album 18 Months has been released to an array of opinions, ranging from the praiseful to the, well, less-appreciative. All that aside, I really just need to take a moment to share one of my favorite and most-listened to cuts of the album.*

I know we've all had our obsessions with Kelis' return to glory with "Bounce" and the unstoppable Florence Welch's spectacular feature on "Sweet Nothing," but neither of these is the true banger. That award rests with the Dillon Francis-produced "Here 2 China (feat. Dizzee Rascall)." Full of the club-sized beats Harris is known for, layered with Francis' bouncing production, the track nails down it's success with Dizzee's best feature since "Heavy" with Chase & Status. I said it.

I mean, how can we ignore the brilliance of the track? When a song talks about Dizzee's ability to literally get it in accross the world, it's a sure sign that the hip-hop star has really arrived. Joking aside, I really hope the track gets Dizzee the attention he so deserves. In the battle of the Brit rappers, Tinie has seemingly taken the US by storm, stupid nasal grunts and all, while Dizzee has been waiting in the back for his chance to shine. Take a listen to "Here 2 China" and try and convince me that it's not fantastic.

*The other best track on the album would have to be the almost-perfect "I Need Your Love (feat. Ellie Goulding)." Shocking, I know.
