QUINCY JONES
Amy Winehouse's back from the undead. We already knew she was finally back in the studios for the almost divine Quincy Jones after a long, long, long period of self introspection I should say. You now have the opportunity to discover her new song. I will let you judge the song. Please don't be too difficult after those four years of debauchery.
"It's my party" is her first studio recording since a while and is produced by the usual Mark Ronson. This song will appear on the next Quincy Jones compilation named "Q: Soul Bossa Nostra." The original version of the song was procuded by Quincy Jones in 1963 and number on the Billboard for two weeks.
"Q : Soul Bossa Nostra" will be released on next Tuesday. Mary J. Blige, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Wyclef Jean and Ludacris and others will be on the record. Have a look at the song now.
The 12-year-old "Youtube Miracle," Gresyon Michael Chance, has done what millions have tried, but has clearly shined a lot brighter than the others.
With over 14 million views of his rendition of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi," Chance caught the eye of many record labels and even finalized a deal after a in-n-out visit with the prominent, Interscope Records. Interscope currently has superstars including 50 Cent, Enrique Iglesias, Sting, Gwen Stefiani, Fergie, Quincy Jones, Lady Gaga and many many many more.
Quincy Jones's remake of We Are the World debuted during the opening ceremony of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver this past weekend. The video that was showed was slightly edited but the longer version is now available on iTunes.
The video, which was directed by Academy award winner Paul Haggis, begins with Jamie Foxx speaking a few words about Haiti and the original We Are the World. Foxx encourages support from everyone, "Do more than just watch, whatever you have, no matter how big or how small, it all counts."
Although we were sad to see Charles Hamilton leave the music scene, his return and release of his latest creation Normalcy more then made up for it. And now, alongside with Josh Madden spinning the records, the tag team will tear up the opening night at our Fashion Week Gala event at Capitale. Renowned DJ Josh Madden is the perfect complimentary sidekick to match the energy of Sonic The Hamilton. Not only is DJ Josh Madden touring the U.S., he is also a stylist and co-founder of the clothing label DCMA Collective. Talk about the interwining of music and fashion! We were able to get some answers as to what make these two tick.
Quincy Jones has been asked to remake ‘We Are The World' countless times over the past 25 years and every time it has been quickly shot down. Only after the devastation in Haiti was Quincy inspired to re-make the classic and just like 25 years ago, it's going to be big ... real big!
More than 80 musical artists joined forces at Henson Studios in Los Angeles on Monday to start recording the epic classic. Quincy Jones will be producing along with Will.I.Am and RedOne, and RedOne couldn't be more pleased to help, "Having Quincy, our father of music ... and Lionel Richie asking me to contribute and help, I said of course, because this is not about me," he said. "It's about Haiti."
Quincy Jones is determined to regain his beloved publication. Vibe, the urban hip-hop and R&B magazine, was founded by Jones in 1993. An announcement was made yesterday confirming the magazine’s end.
"I'm trying to buy my magazine back now," Jones told Ebonyjet.com. "They just messed my magazine all up, but I’m gonna get it back. You better believe it, I’m’ a take it online because print and all that stuff is over."
