Fantasia ft. Kelly Rowland & Missy Elliott - "Without Me"

Fantasia debuted a new sound with "Lose To Win," and it sounds like she's headed in a great direction for her album Side Effects Of You. After hearing the Kelly Rowland and Missy featured "Without Me," I might buy the album on April 23rd based on these two tracks alone.

Produced by Harmony, Kyle Stewart and Lambert, "Without Me" has enough versatility to get major radioplay and a little love in the club. Listen below and let me know your thoughts!



Hit the jump to check out the snippets from Side Effects Of You, set to hit stores on April 23.

Timbaland - E! True Hollywood Story [Full Episode]

Growing up in South Carolina and North Carolina, Pharrell and Timbaland were my two favorite musicians.  I was obsessed with Timbalands beats and I would buy his Timbaland & Magoo albums along with all of the Missy, Aaliyah, Ginuwine, Playa, and Nicole Wray singles that he produced.

Along the years, my admiration for Timbaland faded away due to many substantial allegations that he was  stealing beats from overseas, and it made me question how much of his legacy is truly his.  Now, I realize that whatever his involvement, he's still a genius who has impacted music in multiple genres for the better.  In the latest episode of E!'s True Hollywood Story, he doesn't hold anything back.
