Feel like partying? If so, feel free to swing by TGJ HQ today!

What we’re celebrating? The release of the very first song to be pulled from Ciara‘s forthcoming studio album, set for release later on this year and performed during her critically-acclaimed set at last night’s Grammy awards after-party.

Moving to say the very least, the number sees Ci bid adieu to light-heartedness found in the likes of ‘Work’ and  ‘I’m Out‘, and give her all to lyrics indicative of the growth she’s already showcased on the likes of ‘Sorry.‘

To put it simply, we’re in love with and hope the positive response this number will garner encourages the star to craft numbers just as applause-worthy.

For most entertainers, securing recognition from the Grammy committee comes as nothing short of a dream come true.

Alas, for the chart-force that is Macklemore, his success at last night’s ceremony has sparked what some are billing a desperate attempt to stay on Hip Hop’s ‘good side.’

For, while the bulk of his commercial success lies in the support he’s garnered from Pop loyalists, it’s his Urban credibility the performer seems eager to protect today, now that his ‘wins’ have become synonymous with Kendrick Lamar‘s ‘MAAD City’ losses.

Problematic, as it’s this ‘Urban credibility’ that’s given him a perceived point of difference in the eyes of his Pop audience.

His thoughts on the matter?

Press play to hear his recent conversation with Ebro Darden‘s ‘Hot 97′ this morning, below!

It’s finally here!

The official version of Kylie Mingoue‘s brand new single ‘Into The Blue’ swam onto the net moments ago.

Penned by Kelly Shehan (Beyonce, Mary J. Blige), the dance floor jam had “surfaced” in demo form prior to its planned arrival. Surprisingly, though, the “early” appearance only enhanced the buzz for ‘Blue’s’ digital release and that of its parent album ‘Kiss Me Once’ (which now has a confirmed due date of March 17th).

So what are you waiting for? Take a listen to the lyric video for Ms. Minogue’s first Roc Nation offering below. The official visual, which features actor Clement Sibony, is due eminently.
