A representative of the family has agreed to license footage to several media outlets to “help maximize the estate for the benefit of Bobbi Kristina.” (her 18 year old daughter).

Katrin the thrill….

It’s a rare time for me these days to instantly fall in love with a newer band. I just had the chance to hear ‘Katrin the thrill’ and fell in love. There is a certain darkness that I love about their track ‘Earth is Calling Us’ that I haven’t found in a long time. The softness, the grinding of it; just awesome. Thanks to James at IndependentMusicPromotions.com for sharing with me.

Have a listen for yourself.

Motown has named Ne-Yo as the new Senior Vice President of A&R. All this while Ne-Yo continues to work on his fifth studio album.

Motown Exec Ms. Habtemariam said:

“We are honored and humbled to have Ne-Yo as a part of the Motown family, as both a recording artist and in an A&R role. We are committed to discovering, developing and nurturing R&B/Soul superstars here at Motown and in Ne-Yo we have both a global superstar and arguably one of the best songwriters in music. His presence on the executive team only strengthens our commitment to the very best in R&B.”

Ne-Yo had some nice words to say as well:

“I’m a combination of excited, honored and terrified all at once! Excited about a new beginning here at Motown, honored that I’ve been given such a prestigious title and trusted with such responsibility, TERRIFIED because I know that playing this role, in the fashion of one of my idols and career role models Mr. Smokey Robinson, these are big shoes to fill…..but trust, I can handle it.”

“I just can’t wait to just start practicing. That’s going to be a blast.”

“We’re going to perform the songs and everybody’s going to be excited,” he said. “Some of the older people of our generation will be able to tell their kids, `You’re staying home tonight, we’re going to see 2 Live Crew and shake our booty!’”

So of course I have to post a video!!
