Christina Aguilera , Frank Ocean  and Miguel were all included in the "Artist" section. [...]

Today, TIME magazine unveiled its list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World and of them, five are musicians. Jay-Z (who also serves as cover boy), Beyoncé , and Justin Timberlake all received nods, but the other two inclusions are a bit more surprising: the crown princes of R&B, Frank Ocean and Miguel . Yes, they're both right there, listed alongside other influential people like President Barack Obama, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, and Oscar winning actor Daniel Day Lewis. For each of [...]

Thank you,  Frank Ocean . The 20/20 Experience  would not be what it is if it had not been for Channel Orange . In no way am I saying that the N'Sync -ster's latest album ripped anything off. No, but a lot of ideas on The 20/20 Experience are based in some of the bold approaches Frank Ocean took in the R&B genre that would not have been welcome without the success of Channel [...]

Calling it On The Road , this lineup of 32 performers and 10 comedians will span domestic and international cities over the course of six weeks. The full lineup has yet to be announced, but there is also word that Macklemore and Ryan Lewis as well as Trey Songz will join the tour. So [...]

That Eyes Like Sky didn't quite make the grade for broadcasting on  Frank Ocean's sensational  channel ORANGE  LP of yesteryear is testament to the strength of the album as a cohesive whole, given that this one so too is sublimity itself. Though despite its furthering of Frank's infatuation with oceanic lyrics and insinuations of ever vivid colours (the subliminal messaging this time centres around "a blind boy" who encounters both "a green girl" and "a blue man", before going on to describe "yellow so perfectly") it would have perhaps been ever so slightly extraneous to [...]

A noite da diversidade nos prêmios e nos shows. O Grammy Awards , em sua 55ª edição, procurou agradar todos estilos, mas ao contrário do ano passado em que trouxe um elenco de peso que contava do Paul McCartney , Bruce Springstee n, Beach Boys e tantos outros, a festa preferiu mostra que não só de medalhões se faz a música. Com nomes que buscam refrescar o cenário como Frank Ocean , Mumford & Sons , fun. , e Black Keys , a festa até pode ser um teste de resistência [...]

About two thirds of the way through last night's endless Grammy ceremony, Justin Timberlake ambled onstage for the second time, this time to flank Recording Academy CEO and inveterate pirate-scolder Neil Portnoy. Timberlake asked a question: "Best Grammys ever?" Then he answered himself: "Best Grammys ever." Well, no, Justin. The idea of a "best" Grammys, or even an "OK" Grammys, is nearly impossible to conceive. As far as I can remember, the best Grammys ever was 1998, when Ol' Dirty Bastard soy bombed Shawn Colvin and Soy Bomb soy bombed Bob Dylan, if only because that was the year that [...]
