8 Jun

It is no secret that I adore Janelle Monáe! And if it’s possible, I adore her even more for collaborating with two of my of favorite, favorite, favorite artists in the world, Icon Prince and progressive R&B heartthrob Miguel!

“We are great friends, and he is a mentor to us, to me,” Monáe reportedly told Billboard. “It’s a beautiful thing to have a friend — someone who cares about your career and wants to see you go far and to push boundaries and shake up the world — give whatever they possibly can to the cause.”

Although there isn’t much information circulating about Monae’s collaboration with Sir Prince, I am just thrilled to know that he has agreed to contribute to the LP. However, we do know that Janelle’s creation with Miguel is a love song entitled, “Primetime,” which samples the Pixies smash “Where Is My Mind?” infused with a funk beat. Continue reading →

Buzz: Beyoncé hits the studio with Miguel

31 Oct

One can’t deny that Beyoncé knows how to choose her collaborators. She’s worked with The-Dream, Frank Ocean, Shakira, husband, Jay-Z, and now Miguel.

The singer-songwriter, who recently worked with Alicia Keys on “Kaleidsocope Dream” track, “Where’s the Fun in Forever,” teams up with King B.

Earlier tonight, Miguel shared a photo on Instagram of himself and Bey’ at a studio session. “… woah. creating for Virgo’s all weekend,” Miguel tweeted.

There aren’t details as to who’s project we can expect to hear the magic they’re creating. I’m crossing my fingers and toes it’s for an upcoming full-length of Bey’s.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if Bey’ debuted a Miguel-assisted song during Super Bowl?
