Before Ne-Yo saddles up to ride his forthcoming Country album ‘Highway 79‘ to the top of the genre’s charts in July, the R&B hitmaker is giving on-the-fence fans yet another taste of what the LP is set to offer ahead of its arrival.

Following the warmly received previous singles ‘Ms. Tundra,’ ‘Simple Things’ and ‘Up, Out, & Gone,’ the GRAMMY winner (born Shaffer Smith) continues to showcase his sonic versatility by lifting the lid on new song ‘Thinking What I’m Thinking.’

“Are you thinking what I’m thinking? / We ain’t been on the same page for the last little minute / Both moving we only halfways in it,” he sings over Chuck Harmony and Claude Kelly production.

Weeks of speculation and teasing have culminated to the highly anticipated release of Chloe Bailey and Timbaland‘s joint mixtape ‘Resurrection.’

Marking a sonic reinvention for Bailey following her last body of work – 2024’s critically acclaimed ‘Trouble in Paradise‘ – the 13-track project comes as an ode to the bass-buoyed, groundbreaking 90’s sounds that lined the albums of acts like Aaliyah and Missy Elliott (making Timbo one of his generation’s leading producers in the process).

Delivered to digital streaming platforms courtesy of Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records on Friday (June 19), ‘Resurrection’ serves a hearty helping of new music to tide Chloe fans over until her next official LP drops (and the long-awaited Chloe x Halle reunion album follows that).

In what comes as little surprise, Olivia Rodrigo‘s latest album – the June 12-released ‘You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love‘ – is an out-of-the-box success.

Coming as the follow-up to 2023’s chart-topping ‘Guts,’ ‘Sad’ – Rodrigo’s third studio effort – is marching to Billboard 200 chart battle on the wings of the Hot 100 #1 smash ‘Drop Dead’ and its top 10 successor ‘The Cure.’

As if capitalizing on the buzz from those hit singles wasn’t enough pressure for the 23-year-old hitmaker, the 13-track affair – helmed primarily by GRAMMY-winning producer-songwriter Daniel Nigro – also has the pressure of stacking up to its blockbuster predecessors that both topped the all-genre tally upon their respective arrivals.

Look inside to see how industry analysts predict ‘Sad’ will perform commercially by the end of its inaugural sales tracking week.
