It may be winter time, but Summer Walker continues to bring the heat. And this time it’s with a little help from Usher.
The newcomer and veteran send pulses racing with the video for their scorching collaboration ‘Come Thru.’
Lifted from Walker’s critically acclaimed debut ‘Over It,’ the track’s visual was directed by Lacey Duke and was shot at the 285 Flea Market in Atlanta.
‘Come Thru’ notably samples Ush’s 1997 smash ‘You Make Me Wanna.’

A standout track from the LP, to date the song’s peaked at #42 on the Billboard Hot 100. The move to improve its fortune on the tally will come via its official visual set to premiere the morning of Tuesday (January 7).
To build anticipation, the burgeoning diva’s label took to Twitter to give fans a sneak peek at the action. It awaits inside:
Last month, Lil Uzi Vert sent fans into a frenzy with the release of his long-awaited new single, ‘Futsal Shuffle 2020.’ Reportedly acting as the first single from his forthcoming sophomore album, ‘Eternal Atake,’ the Starboy-produced cut – just released December 13 – has already managed to infiltrate the top 5 of Billboard’s Pop singles chart.
In a bid to hoist it to higher Hot 100 heights, Uzi tapped famed music video director Jay Weneta to helm the song’s official accompanying visual.
A choreography-laden affair, look inside to see the Philly rapper show off some fancy footwork in the clip for ‘Shuffle’:

Lifted to his official Youtube handle, the Murda Beatz-produced number sees the 28-year-old croon:
“Practice make perfect, okay / When I tell ya somethin’, it’s worth it, okay / I been wantin’ from the start / Made me want to swear to God.”

More stunning snaps after the jump…
News that undoubtedly had many scratching their heads last week were reports 2000’s R&B singer Amerie was trending on Twitter for her signature hit, ‘1 Thing,’ being included on the list of the 2010s’ best songs. Its mention on the tally was all the more confusing as it was actually released in 2005.
Despite the mix-up, the Grammy nominee – currently blazing stages across America on the ‘Femme It Forward’ tour (alongside Brandy, Monica, Ashanti, and many more) – is soaking up the attention and took to social media before the new year to not only express her appreciation but also tease forthcoming 2020 projects.
In addition to announcing work on a new studio album, her first since 2009’s ‘In Love & War,’ the 39-year-old revealed she’s toying around with the idea of going on an ‘anniversary tour’ to celebrate the release of her debut effort, 2002’s ‘All I Have,’ as it approaches its 20th birthday.
Hear all this and more:
For the first From The Vault of the new decade, we journey back 15 years.
Today’s pick comes courtesy of Pop Queen Christina Aguilera and her roof-raising anthem ‘Ain’t No Other Man.’
Issued as the lead single from 2006 concept album ‘Back To Basics,’ ‘Man’ was produced by DJ Premier and penned by Aguilera alongside Kara DioGuardi.
Lyrically, much of the reporting at the time of its release touted her then-new-husband the inspiration behind the song’s lyrics. While sonically, the song – and its parent album – had throwback etched over. Indeed, the project at large served as Christina’s tribute to the eras in music which have inspired her artistry – with a pronounced presence of sounds from the 1920s-1950s.
The tune was yet another chart success for the songstress, peaking at #6 in both the US and Australia , #2 on the UK. #5 in Germany. and #4 in Canada.
‘Man’ also won the GRAMMY Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2007.

Bryan Barber was tasked with bringing the song’s retro feel to life visually, and he did so in exquisite fashion.
Set in a Prohibition era club, the song’s vid sees Xtina – or Baby Jane as she playfully billed herself -rock many old-school looks and serve choreography backed by her dancers.
It was nominated for multiple MTV Video Music Awards in 2006, but sadly didn’t win any. Still, as with all timeless efforts, it slays ’til this day.
At a time when Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Fergie and Janet Jackson were battling it out on the charts with their respective takes on the “in” sound of that time, Ms. Aguilera was in a league of her own by means of taking it back to the origins.
Furthermore, she was consistent with her commitment to the aesthetic component too, donning that old-Hollywood look for the entirety of the era; once again setting her apart from her peers.
The very same approach was used for her subsequent project, ‘Bionic’ with the focus this time placed on everything futuristic… to lesser success. #JusticeForBionic!
***********
After playing the field with her following releases, maybe it’s time Christina revisits that era one more time and blesses us with some more throwback bops. Because it’s clearly a sphere she excels in.
