It's New Music Friday! There's a lot to pick from. Here's what I'm most likely to check out this week:

From now on when I don't know an answer to something I'm just gonna give a GRAMMY to Luther Vandross. #GRAMMYs

For those wondering, next year's #GRAMMYs will air on the Disney family of properties including Hulu. That is, of course, assuming that ABC, Disney, Hulu, television, music, the Recording Academy, and humanity are still all things.

Luther Vandross is not credited as a writer on "Luther," though it does contain a sample of "If This World Were Mine." Would his name still be on the envelope? Potentially? #GRAMMYs

Tyler is our Herbie Hancock. There I said it. #GRAMMYs

From a purely creative standpoint, nobody really touches Tyler. I don't think he wins Album of the Year, because he scares half the voters, but someday we'll look back at him as deserving of even more accolades than he actually gets. #GRAMMYs

Ahh, a music video on TV as it was intended to be consumed; as a paid commercial presented by MasterCard during the #GRAMMYs. Take that, Viacom! Wait.
