N*E*R*D’s forthcoming studio album, Nothing, finally received an official release date: November 2. That’s not too far away and with that, track number nine has made its way online.
“Nothing On You” is a funky lil midtempo with a 70′s guitar riff. The chorus carries a nice melody and is signature N*E*R*D.

We only had to wait about a week but now we can press play and repeat. Yup, the second single lifted from N*E*R*D’s Nothing is the Daft Punk-produced “Hypnotize U.”
All we have to say is this is truly the best song to come from the trio in a very longtime. Listen to the greatness below.

Although being serious fans of N*E*R*D, we really did not feel their last album, Seeing Sounds, and this new album wasn’t exciting us too much but since last week that’s somewhat changed. The incredibly fresh album art was the first thing to jump start our real interest. Then, last night the trio performed on David Letterman to perform a brand new song from Nothing: “Hypnotize You,” produced by Daft Punk.
All we needed to see was Daft Punk and we were on that song like nothing else. With all biased opinions aside this is truly N*E*R*D’s best song in the last long while. The song is very mellow, smooth and defines N*E*R*D’s unique lane of music. The best part is it can played just as much as any other catchy radio tune out there. Nothing is in stores November 2.
N*E*R*D spoke had a one-on-one with Blackbook magazine to discuss their fourth studio album, Nothing. In the interview, the members discuss their different approach to the music all while keeping their unique and quirky style:
Williams’ deliberate shift from playboy to politico is felt all over Nothing, which he approached with a new-found sensitivity to global affairs. “We looked at the war, we looked at commerce, we looked at finance, we looked at the environment,” he says. It’s heavy stuff for a band whose inaugural single was called “Lapdance.” But, he adds, smiling, “We also looked at other interesting things, like the new Ferrari. I like a flower as much as I like a Ferrari. If it’s under the sun, why do I have to choose just one?”
For Nothing, 27 initial tracks were whittled down to the dozen or so that appear on the mastered album. The ones that got cut weren’t “magical,” Hugo says. “They were all great songs,” adds Williams, “but we needed something that will make people go, ‘What the fuck was that?’ When you hear this music, you’re gonna bug out.” Given the underwhelming critical reception of N.E.R.D’s last couple offerings, the band had better hope to blow a few minds.

The guys have been through some changes as of late but it seems that the group remains a threesome. From what we just read it seems that the music will be left-field as usual so don’t expect a Billboard Hot 100 #1 unless it’s a surprise. Listen to 2 new tracks from the album after…
We want to apologize to you all for the empty weekend, do you forgive us, okay, moving along.
So N*E*R*D’s first single from Nothing leaked in full yesterday. The song entitled “Hot N Fun” features Nelly Furtado and comes ready for the dancefloor.
Pharrell mentions the bassline is hypnotic and he is not telling a lie. The song’s repetitive and funky beat just makes you want to “feel.” The addition of female vocals in the form of Nelly Furtado is pretty cool, much better than a Rhea… Take a listen and view the viral video for the song after…

A minimalistic approach is taken in the video for Janet Jackson’s “Nothing,” the theme from Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Too?. The Tim Palen video displays a very fashionable Jackson singing with accompanying mirrored images. Also, clips from the movie are edited in as with all soundtrack movie videos. Wow, we had no idea Perry turned Jackson’s character into a complete emotional wreck for the sequel.
Pop icon, Janet Jackson, recently shot the music video for the soundtrack single of Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married Too?” Jermaine Dupri gives us all an inside look before the finished product hits screens all over.
Can’t help it but we just want to squeeze Janet Jackson’s cheeks, she is too cute. The thing is she doesn’t come off like an immature idiot, it just suits her personality so well.
Anyway, which one of you lucky buggas will be going to see the “Why Did I Get Married Too?” premiere this Monday, March 29, at the Atlantis resort here in The Bahamas?
