ShezAr McKenzie may not ring many bells to the mainstreamers out there, but to us, it’s great to hear some fab new acoustic performances by the rising star. The singer’s roaring voice has caught the eye of the industry over the past 12 months, and with props from her younger brother Labrinth, she’s sure to explode on the scene this year.
After a brilliant set at last year’s Hackney Weekender (video highlights below too), it’s no wonder she’s being compared to the likes of Jill Scott and Lauryn Hill.
The performance below is from new single ‘Forever’ – very powerful. I cannot wait for more live gigs from her (JAZZ CAFE PLEASE SHEZAR!?!?!)

Last night’s Saturday Night Live showed Justin Timberlake as a true showman as he worked the double-duty of both presenting and performing on the show.
The star was welcomed by a a multitude of stars who helped introduce him as the latest inductee of the SNL’s coveted ‘Five-Timers Club’ – an accolade for those who have presented the show five times. Previous inductees were there, including Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin, Tom Hanks, Chevy Chase, and Candice Bergen; all clad in Hefner-esque velvet robes with a ‘5’ on them.
Aside from presenting, Timberlake also took to the stage to rock out both ‘Suit & Tie’ and ‘Mirrors’ from forthcoming long-player ‘The 20/20 Experience’ – another fantastic performance from a star who manages to collide strong production techniques with brilliant vocals and impressive support.
Even more impressively, Timberlake also brought out new partner-in-crime Jay-Z onto the track…. putting it into perspective, JT’s new BFF had never made an SNL appearance with Kanye or Drake!
Oh, and speaking of Kanye – remember his ‘Suit & Tie’ dig in London last week? On stage during a recent performance, K was quoted as saying “And I got love for Hov but I ain’t fucking with that ‘Suit & Tie’.” As payback, last night’s SNL saw Timberlake change the line “shit so sick, got a hit and picked up a habit” to “My hit’s so sick, got rappers acting dramatic.” WIN!
Check out the performance of ‘Suit & Tie’ below – his live shows over the past month has been proving how much he deserves to be back on stage; make sure you try and cop tickets next time he’s playing near you!:
