Justin Timberlake‘s new album ‘The 20/20 Experience’ isn’t even in stores yet, but that hasn’t stopped ‘Let The Groove In’ from quickly becoming a fan favourite.

A hot-pot of sounds, the track tackles “world music” with a contemporary flare – and will easily garner play in the club, on radio, and even at your local Salsa class! Infectious horns and cowbells leave the song ringing in one’s ear, while the catchy hook seals the deal. Timberlake chants “Are you comfortable (right there, right there). Let the groove get in!” One listen to this and you quite literally don’t have a choice. For us, it’s the best track on the ‘Experience’ Hands down.

We’re sure the masses will be echoing the same following JT’s performance of the track a few hours ago on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. 

Backed by his band The Tennessee Kids along with The Roots, the 32-year-old ensured the third night of his week-long residency was one to remember.

Peep the performance below, where hilarious skits also await…

Nicki Minaj‘s mainstream status is cemented in the latest issue of Elle magazine.

The Young Money maven ditches the outlandish ensembles for a more demure look in the April issue of the publication, which was previewed on Access Hollywood today.

With Nicki stating that album #3 will take a more stripped-back/back-to-basics approach, could this look be one the ‘Starships’ rapper will be pushing moving forward? If so, we wouldn’t oppose; she looks stunning.

Cop a gander of Jennifer Lopez!

The Pop diva looks all sorts of fierce in the latest edition of ‘The Hollywood Reporter’, which she features in support of her stylists Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn who were honored by the magazine.

Hard at work on a new studio album,  it’ll be interesting to see if she can replicate the success of recent smashes ‘On The Floor’ and ‘Dance Again’. Time will tell.

Your thoughts?

With ‘Let Me Love You’ still riding high on singles charts the world over, it’s safe to say the latest era of Ne-Yo‘s career is shaping up to be all flavours of successful.

Indeed, despite its supporting album ‘R.E.D’ struggling to live up commercial expectations in the US, the album’s European chart run has seen the singer’s stock as a live act flourish as a result- as seen in the launch of his UK arena tour.

A feat very few acts from any market can say they achieved in the last decade, Mr ‘Compound’s current touring venture  has already seen him sell 20,000 tickets for a single date at London’s 02 Arena, no doubt cementing his status as one of R&B’s strongest contenders.

Not sure what all the fuss is about?
