#SPOTTED: TIMBALAND IN TORONTO FOR “OUT OF THIS WORLD” TOUR

He crafted a sound that defined a generation and an era. TIMBALAND needs no introduction, having won four GRAMMYs, collaborating with some of the influencial Artists of all time including Ludacris, Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliott, Madonna, Alicia Keys, Beyoncé and more.

Just as Hip-Hop legend Missy Elliott launches a comeback on her OUT OF THIS WORLD Tour, her longtime collaborator and friend Timbaland joins her on the road as a supporting act. A bona fide star in his own right even aside from the Producer’s credit, Timbaland has achieved success under his own name, most notably with his 2007 star-studded collaborations album, SHOCK VALUE.

Though Elliott‘s tour was to span two nights in Toronto, the second night got cancelled, which gave Timbaland a night out to make a surprise visit at the El Mocambo supporting New Friends at their show there.

Timbaland to this day is marking his influence on the next generation of Artists and every week mentors them on his Instagram live where he accepts and reviews beats from aspiring Musicians. A legend who walks the walk. And you know what? He’s the absolute nicest. Honoured to be in his presence.

#NEWMUSIC: SAWEETIE (FT. POST MALONE, DABABY + JACK HARLOW) “TAP IN” (NSFW)

This jam is pure-fire! Saweetie has stamped herself as one to watch her hit My Type blew-up on TikTok and now she follows- up with a banger in TAP IN, a new version featuring an all-star slate including Post Malone, DaBaby and Jack Harlow! The Track already got nominated at the VMAs for Song of the Summer and this new collaboration should help push it to the top!

#NEWMUSIC: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE – “MIRRORS”

Okay, now I real excited of Justin Timberlake‘s new Album, The 20/20 Experience.  Fresh off his amazing Grammys performance tonight comes JT‘s newly-leaked Single Mirrors. I enjoyed Suit & Tie, but this is just outstanding. Melancholic, the Timbaland-produced Track is equal parts Rock as it is Urban and all-parts Pop. The Melody has what it takes for the Track the be the Mainstream Hit that Suit & Tie could’ve been, but the 8:00 minute-length here is a bit of a tricky thing to navigate, especially for Airplay reasons.  Production-wise, Timbaland‘s rhythmic sensibilities remind us that this still is JT singing, although in a new incarnation.

Jessica Biel must’ve melted at these Lyrics which clearly are directed to her: “It was easy coming back to you/Once I figured it out /You were right here all along/It’s like you’re my Mirror”, perhaps eluding to a rough patch during early 2011, before  reuniting and eventually marrying last October.

Listen to the Track in full below:

We’re still waiting on that David Fincher-directed Video for Suit & Tie, this just will have to do for now!

The 20/20 Experience hits stores March 20, 2013 via Sony Music.
