It’s been a real long wait but Missy Elliott would not disappoint as a new video surfaced today for new single, WTF (Where They From). Dave Meyers, whom she has collaborated with on numerous occasions in her celebrated career, returns to collaborate on the Video. She hasn’t lost a step and we love the rhythm – it’s unlike anything we’ve ever heard.

He’s definitely on fire! Earlier this year when Justin Timberlake was set to make that big Comeback of his, already R&B Lovers were drawing parallels to his resembling of Robin Thicke‘s sound. So how does Thicke counter back? He delivers a fresh, new Sound thanks to the expertise of Pharrell Williams, who single-handedly is defining our Airwaves this Summer with not one, but two Hits in Blurred Lines (Thicke ft. T.I.) and Get Lucky (Daft Punk).
Actually, you can make that three now with this brand new Single, Give It 2 U, which already is buzzing with controversy with its racy, racy Lyrics. The Collaboration between Thicke and Rapper Kendrick Lamar undoubtedly is stellar and highly danceable even if it does pose some challenges for Adult Pop/Top 40 Radio, which both have embraced current Billboard Hot 100 Chart-topping Blurred Lines. In fact, that Track has reached number one in over 28 countries – a certified International Smash, appearing as though it won’t be giving-up its dominance any time soon.
