It’s On Again

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releases It’s On Again, featuring Lamar, from the album, The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

I’m very excited to be a part of such a powerful collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams and Hans Zimmer. This is the next chapter in the Spider-Man legacy and we really feel It’s On Again captures the experience, the story—and most importantly—the meaning behind the film, which is that we all have the potential to be extraordinary. There’s a little bit of a super hero in all of us.

Give It 2 U

Single Release0 Comments

Thicke releases the single, Give It 2U, from his album, Blurred Lines.The song features Kendick Lamar as well as 2 Chainz. Thicke:

I reached out to 2 Chainz, because I’m a big 2 Chainz fan and I think Kendrick is amazing. So the funny thing was, my management sent it to Kendrick while I had sent it 2 Chainz. So I already had a 2 Chainz version and then suddenly we hear that Kendrick loves the record and already recorded a verse. And I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is incredible.’ So they’re both on the song now, because it’s just too good.
