Licorice?

~ It's been confirmed that the new Madonna album that's coming out in about 8 to 12 weeks' time is gonna be called 'Licorice'.

It will feature Pharrell (who probably needs the gig to regain his musical mojo) and the Tim twins - red-hot producer Timbaland and (Justin) Timberlake. There have been reports that Justin's collaboration with Madonna is gonna 'melt the speakers', according to Pharrell, but I'm more curious to hear the Kanye rap on 'The Beat Goes On", one of the tracks that's been (intentionally?) leaked for months now.

This album so cannot suck but then again, stranger things have happened. There's also gonna be another greatest hits collection coming out some time after June next year, and that will mark the final Madonna album on Warner Music, marking the end that started in 1983 with this classic.



~ And the nominees have been announced for the 50th Grammy Awards and the big 2 are Kanye West, who gets 8 nominations, and Amy Winehouse, who scores with 6. It's gonna be an interesting evening on February 10th (or 11th in Asia) at the Staple Center. Check out the full nominee list here.

~ And thanks to OneTwoMusic for this gem from the Celine Dion archives. This is possibly the gayest music video EVER.



Have a fab weekend, bitches.
