Pharrell Williams released a new music and Miley Cyrus was there too! As we previously reported, Williams’ “Come Get it Bae” video features a song and dance number from Miley Cyrus. Williams’ song “Happy” is heard everywhere, however, the star is ready to move on from the song. Along with the release of this new video, Williams will also be a judge on The Voice. Williams has been a hot music artist this summer and it appears that he plans to stay this way.
Remember the boy band the Jonas Brothers? One of them is back but he stands alone with a new image.Complex premiered the youngest Jonas brother’s solo song “Chains.” The song is nothing like what he and his brothers have played in the past and the new song can seem a little dark. Nick Jonas, like Miley Cyrus, is shedding his Disney skin and is ready to show a different side.
