Fans of Katy Perry‘s ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)’ will soon be treated to an official remix featuring none other than femcee Missy Elliott. According to Billboard, the Missy-assisted version of the track will hit radio and digital outlets on Monday, August 8th.
As the song has been resting in the Hot 100′s #2 spot for quite sometime now, the remix could generate the airplay and sales Perry needs to push it to #1; thusly, tying Michael Jackson‘s record for most #1 songs from one album. Her previous singles ‘Teenage Dream’, ‘Firework’, ‘California Girls’, and ‘E.T.’ have all held the top spot.
In Missy Elliott news, the ‘Work It’ rapper is said to be working on her own forthcoming project entitled ‘Block Party’.
Remaining one of the most respected artists to debut in the last 20 years, Missy Elliott‘s story is surprisingly one that many are not too familiar. Yesterday, her episode of the series ‘Behind The Music‘ aired and shone a new light on the performer’s experiences. Heartbreak and all.
