Only once in a generation can you have an artist who is so talented...so suave...so artistic...so engaging...and so beloved that they can drop out of sight and come back with the same energy and hype. The generation before us had Sade, before her it was Marvin Gaye.
People this generation it's Justin Timberlake.
It's been six years since his last album and people had almost written him off from the music scene. He's been a solo artist for ten years and only has two albums to show, but both albums have been masterpieces. He hasn't been out of public eye though, he's done the movies, SNL, and his recent marriage has kept him in the spotlight but now he's going back to his roots and the public can't wait.
Dropping his new single this week "Suit & Tie" ft Jay Z he debuts this new sound he keeps speaking of and even though they say Timberland did this track it sounds an awful lot like the Neptune's inspired music from his first album.
The 20/20 Experience Justin says happened by accident in a letter he wrote to his fans.
"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 personally can't wait to hear what's he's come up with...hell he hasn't disappointed us yet. Check out the new single below
On instagram she's been posting pics of her practicing and the excitement is real people. It's to the point now where people are saying "There is a football game going on at the Beyonce concert" lol. Not only is this her official live performance of 2013 but she will finally debut her new single from her upcoming album due out in April.

Tamar delivered a great song and a great performance with her first single "Love &War"...but that was in December. We are headed into the last full week of January and finally seeing a visual for the song. Hopefully the video will help pick up the album's promo campaign. TrueFAN loves Tamar but she pulling a Kelly Rowland right now and waiting to long to give us the videos for great songs. Album is in stores February 12, make sure you go pick it up.
In the midst
of her comments on instagram and the shortly there after retraction. A little
good news from Fantasia is needed. Recently on the Steve Harvey show, she
announced that her new album would be called “Side Effects” and will hit
shelves March 13, 2013. The lead single from the album “Lose to Win” is a song
the singer says not only talks about her personal life but her ten-year career
in the business. Working with producer Harmony,
she says this album will be a more rock/soul album similar to James Brown &
Tina Turner. 
The Beyhive
has plenty to buzz about these days. Ever since she announced to the world she
was doing the Super bowl Halftime show it has been one announcement after
another. Her new single will be released in the next 24 hours; she has been
rumored to be on a project with Justin Timberlake. She has just landed the next
cover of GQ and killed it. Now she has been the top pick by the inaugural committee
to sing the national anthem on January 21 for President Obama. The New Year is still fresh and you can
already see that this year ain’t no joke. Hopefully will hear that she will be
performing at the Grammy’s as well.
