The internet is absolutely eating up Ciara’s yummy new release as it appears the Grammy winner has 1,2 stepped right onto a viral hit thanks to the J.R. Rotem-produced cut. ‘Level Up’ – the first lift from her yet-titled forthcoming septenary album – made its debut on 7/18 and in a matter of hours shot to #1 on Youtube’s viewership tallies before heading to a similar peak on iTunes’ R&B tallies.

The fire behind these launches to the top? The #LevelUpChallenge, a viral response that’s seeing her fans (old and new) offer their best renditions of the choreography found aboard the tune’s Parris Goebel-curated clip.

As the music landscape continues to shape-shift, so too are the talent platforms trumpeting the stars of tomorrow.

Case in point Rak-Su and their stint on The X Factor 2017.

The eclectic quad, comprised of Miles, Ashley, Jamaal, and Mustafa, found instant favor on the ITV show thanks to their original flair and self-penned tracks – many of which topped iTunes week in and week out.

Their popularity carried them to winner status, thus rendering them the second band in the show’s 15 year history to snag the title and the first to do so on the back of their own material.

Currently hard at work on their debut album (due later this year), we caught up with group members Miles and Ashley to discuss their journey so far, taster single ‘Pyro Ting,’ touring with Little Mix, and much more.

With new single ‘Kream’ bubbling its way up the charts, Iggy Azalea is strutting on with purpose to the release of its parent EP ‘Surviving The Summer.’

Due August 3rd, the six-song set marks the Aussie beauty’s first body of her work since her debut album ‘The New Classic’ – which arrived four years ago.

In the time since, Azalea has tried to jump start a sophomore era, but a series of label woes saw the ‘Digital Distortion’ project shelved.

Fast forward to now and the 27-year-old seems to be in much better stead.

With the release of ‘Summer’ fast approaching, its tracklist has surfaced.

Find out which songs will populate the EP, as well as who’ll be guesting, below,
