Five years after “The 20/20 Experience – Part 2”, Justin Timberlake is ready to release his fifth studio album “Man Of The Woods”. Here is the futuristic video for the first single “Filthy” and it doesn’t sound like what we were expecting from the teaser.

After the announcement of his headline show at 2018 Super Bowl Halftime Show and a new design of his website, the release of a new Justin Timberlake‘s album or single was quite obvious. The artists then shared a pastoral teaser for the album some days ago and the wait was over. Nevertheless, after this teaser, we were really expecting something more like alt-country music with this first single.

Finally, Justin Timberlake surprises us once again by delivering a futuristic video for “Filthy” where he is dressed like Steve Jobs. The main character of this Mark Romanek-directed clip, which is supposed to take place in 2028, is a dancing robot. The track sounds both like Prince and N.E.R.D. but with the innovative approach that he always had with producer Timbaland. The track was also co-produced by Danja.

Justin Timberlake‘s “Man Of The Woods” will be released on February 2 and he will perform two days after on the Superbowl’s stage.

London-based producer Kelly Lee Owens has shared on social media her love for Aaliyah in the past, and she has now granted us with a cover of her single “More Than A Woman” and a remix of her own cover.

Taken from an upcoming limited edition 12″ vinyl set to be released on December 7 via Smalltown Supersound, the producer takes pleasure on disconstructing both the lyrics and the music. Creating a cold atmosphere around it, she doesn’t hesitate on giving an entire new twist to the track, released in 2001. Explaining her cover of “More Than A Woman”, Kelly Lee Owens stated:

[su_quote]My love and respect for Aaliyah as an artist/vocalist and Timbaland as a producer increased tenfold as I picked the track apart and understood how intricate and layered everything was. The remix of my cover was something I wanted to write and produce that gave the original track new life, and also gave people a sense of power—it’s unapologetic.[/su_quote]

Tink – Home

Matias Calderon — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 15:00:30 +0000

[su_dropcap style=”simple”]C[/su_dropcap]hicago based rapper Tink is one of the most underrated artist of our decade. For real. Why ? After her working with Timbaland on her Aaaliyah inspired track “Million” and recently working with him in “Circle The Block”, she has now shared “Home”, another amazing banger produced by Dr3amforever

Against all male in the industry, Tink uses her rap to get her frustrations out. It is for us still a big mystery why the talent of Tink is not been recognized, what do you need you people ?

She also collaborated recently with her mentor Timbaland in the track “Circle The Block” that you can listen below
