Since winning the Netflix reality competition ‘Building the Band,’ new Columbia Records stars Brianna Mazzola, Nori Moore, and Wennely Quezada – known collectively as 3Quency – have hit the ground running by releasing three singles in as many months.

After wowing music lovers with their debut single ‘Top Down’ in September, the Urban Pop trio delivered a sizzling follow-up in the form of the energetic ‘Once I Was a Good Girl.’

To further amplify anticipation for their forthcoming debut album, 3Quency dropped the new single ‘Clique‘ on Friday (November 21).

“My girls, we don’t play with (We do it our way with) / We don’t need no mister / That’s my clique, that’s my twin / That’s my ride-or-die, that’s my sister / That’s my clique, clique, clique, clique, clique, clique,” they wail over Tyler Spry production.

Tate McRae‘s third studio album, ‘So Close to What,’ may have already soared to the top of the Billboard charts upon its release in February, but now the rising Pop diva is looking to repeat the feat by gifting the set the deluxe treatment.

The Platinum-certified project, already home to hits ‘It’s Ok I’m Ok,’ ‘2 Hands,’ ‘Sports Car,’ and ‘Revolving Door,’ opens its doors on the repackage to make room for the smash ‘Tit for Tat‘ as well four new songs including the November 21-released ‘Nobody’s Girl.’

“I am nobody’s girl, I love it so much / It’s exactly what I wanted, oh / I am nobody’s girl, does it mess you up? / That you had it, and you lost it, nobody,” she sings over Emile Haynie production.

Ne-Yo has garnered his fair share of acclaim over his 20-year career for R&B, Pop, Hip-Hop, and Dance offerings, but the 3x GRAMMY winner is now ready to flex his versatility by tapping into Country music.

Just two months after surprising fans with news his next release would boast a “Nashville blend,” the fruit of that tease was delivered on Friday (November 21) courtesy of the new single ‘Simple Things.’

“It’s always the simple things, the way you laugh / It’s the way you cry to your favorite song / Life is all the in-betweens / The flowers you find on the uphill climb that keep you movin’ on / And after you stop chasing / Is when you find out all that really made sеnse,” he croons on the Country-inspired cut.

Acting as the first single from his yet-titled new album, hop inside to hear ‘Simple Things’ in full.
