Recently joining Jay-Z‘s Roc Nation Family, Pop Queen Kylie Minogue is prepping the release of her twelfth Studio Disc and a Lyric Video for her new Track, Skirt, has just surfaced after the Audio leaked online a couple weeks ago. The Track, which pairs her with Co-Writer The-Dream and Producer Nom de Strip somewhat is like Scream & Shout by will.i.am and Britney Spears with its dark, futuristic, Electro flavour – an interesting change after going lighter on Disc Aphrodite in 2010. The Melody is signature Kylie when the Track does get melodic after all the Build-up.

See the Lyric Video below:

With EMI‘s (her former Distributor) acquisition by Universal Music last Fall, it’ll be interesting to see a new energy in Kylie‘s being marketed Stateside, a feat still illusive despite her being a huge, international Megastar.  Guessing this is more of a Teaser in advance of what’s the come, but as always we’re excited to hear more from her!

I still don’t believe it’s been a month since I finally met Kylie Minogue by chance in New York City last month!  Although I’ve seen her in Concert many times including overseas, she was just everything I hoped she’d be. Sweetheart.

So pretty much everyone on the Internet is raving about Justin Timberlake‘s fantastic fifth time hosting Saturday Night Live and despite the dependency on lewd humour, there never was a dull moment as he charmed his way through Pre-taped/Live  Sketches and Performances of his latest two Singles.

Timberlake started off tonight with a Cold Open, doing a parody of Elton John performing Candle in the Wind in memory of recently-deceased Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez.  “Goodbye Hugo C…”, he sang.  The Actor/Singer/Songwriter/Entrepreneur was joined also by Saturday Night Live Veterans, who like him previously hosted five times including Alec Baldwin, Tom Hanks, Chevy Chase,  Martin Short, Candace Bergen, Steven Martin and Dan Aykroyd.   The latter two even came back to reprise their roles as the sleazy Festrunk Brothers in a Dating Game Sketch enticing Vanessa Bayer, while  Timberlake and Andy Samberg  too tried seducing her with some raunchy ’90s-inspired R&B.  Think Dick in a Box, but like a fivesome.

Also brought back  was his Liquorville Sketch, which prior saw him perform alongside Lady Gaga.  This time around he dressed-up as a giant piece of Tofu promoting Veganism, with his own takes of Chic‘s Le Freak, Rihanna‘s We Found Love, Vanilla Ice‘s Ice Ice Baby with Vegan-friendly Lyrics.He capped it all off with his own take on Internet Viral Sensation The Harlem Shake but instead, The Vegan Shake.  Amazing!

Watch it below:

With his third solo Disc The 20/20 Experience due later this month, Timberlake made us remember why it is we love him so with stunning renditions of Suit & Tie (joined on-stage by Jay-Z) and Mirrors, both drawing loud cheers, sounding impeccable backed by The Tennessee Kids Band.

Just when we thought the laughs weren’t big enough, a Video Sketch of a fictitious Series with Nasim Pedrad titled She’s Got a Dick, where Timberlake‘s Character has to come to terms with the Woman he loves having some “surprise” male anatomy.  Keenan Thompson also appears on the Sketch curiously questioning Timberlake about its size.

Full Videos will be up on Global Television‘s Website tomorrow for Canadian Viewers.

We’ve got an exciting Justin Timberlake Giveaway coming this week.  Stay tuned for more!

Sublime. Justin Timberlake‘s brand new Video for Suit & Tie ft. Jay-Z was just released earlier today and the David Fincher-directed Clip looks stunning.  Shot all in black and white, the Video exudes the same timeless elegance the Track possesses. And if there was any doubt JT truly was back, it is performing amazingly well, peaking at number three on the Canadian Hot 100 and at number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Without a doubt, we will see it ascension to number one in no time.

The Music Industry’s Who’s Who gathered at Staples Center in Los Angeles tonight for the 55th annual GRAMMY Awards. Ohio-formed Band The Black Keys came away the Evening’s top Winners with a total four Grammys tonight including Best Rock Album, El Camino and Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance with Lonely Boy. Dan Auerbach who comprises one half of the Duo, won Best Producer, Non-Classical also; prior the Band had won three Grammys.

Winning coveted Song of the Year were New York-based Newcomers  fun. featuring Janelle Monáe with their Hit Single, We Are Young. Oddsmakers at Ladbrokes nailed it, making the Tune the odds-on choice to win in the Category.  The Trio also won Best New Artist.

Australian Sensation Gotye also won big tonight for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with his massive Hit Somebody That I Used to Know (ft. Kimbra), while also taking home Best Alternative Music Album for stateside debut, Making Mirrors.  Typically, the Winner of Song of the Year wins Record of the Year, so this was a breaking of  the mold.

British Folk Sensations Mumford & Sons won Album of the Year with their Disc Babel and also, Best Long Form Music Video for Big Easy Express.  The Disc is also nominated for Album of the Year at the forthcoming BRIT Awards in their native UK.

Although she didn’t win Song of the Year with her hit What Doesn’t Kill You (Stronger), a recently-engaged Kelly Clarkson wins her third Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album for her  2012 Disc, Stronger.   Equally a Powerhouse Vocalist, Adele won her ninth Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance with Set Fire to the Rain from former Album of the Year, 21.

Jay-Z and Kanye West as their Duo Watch the Throne won three Grammys for their Collaboration, N***s in Paris for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance and also No Church in the Wild (ft. Frank Ocean and The Dream) for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. Ocean also won for Best Urban Contemporary Album with his Channel Orange, while Mrs. Carter herself Beyoncé, won Best Traditional R&B Performance with Love on Top. Toronto’s Drake was awarded Best Rap Album for Take Care, his sophomore effort.

American Idol Winner Carrie Underwood added two more Grammys to her collection, winning Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Song for Blown Away.

Check-out some of the fashion from the Grammys tonight below!  Clearly Rihanna was the Belle of the Ball in Azzedine Alaia.

He’s finally back and after all that build-up with his Teaser “I’m ready” YouTube Video, Justin Timberlake never ceases to amaze. His latest Single Suit & Tie featuring Jay-Z is a bit of a Throwback to Michael Jackson at his finest, with a deep-groove and an undeniable Horn section. And perhaps a Throwback is exactly what we need in an era of Pop where everything is sounding like tired Electronica.

Timberlake collaborates with Timbaland, Shawn Carter, Jerome “J-ROC” Harmon and James Flauntleroy to winning results and if this is just a taste of what we can expect on his next Disc The 20/20 Experience due later this year, I can’t wait for more!
