There are no questions about it – Camila Cabello is striking out in a big way.

The former Fifth Harmony singer has just been revealed as the new face of GUESS Jeans.

As part of the partnership, the 20-year-old will front the Fall 2017 campaign for the fashion brand. She will appear in the major print and online roll-out.

Speaking on the venture, the ‘Crying In The Club’ singer said:

“I couldn’t be more excited to partner with Guess on this incredible campaign. I’ve grown up loving their aesthetic and not in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d be lucky enough to be a part of it.”

GUESS CCO Peter Marciano added…

“Camila’s confidence, strength and beauty reflect the qualities I look for in a Guess Girl. Choosing Camila to be the face of Guess this fall celebrates that Guess Girls are multi-talented, dynamic and accomplished women.”

Needless to say, Team ‘Mila are coming full force.

The campaign appears like it’ll tie-in with the arrival of her album ‘The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving.’

Excited?

Some may scoff, but we feel there’s still some mileage in the Ashanti tank. It’s all about the music and how she rolls it out.

We’ve yet to see her truly make the indie route work for her (in the way it has for others), but maybe it will this go round?

Ne-Yo is officially back!

After tiding fans over with loose cuts after the release of his 2015 LP, ‘Non-Fiction,’ the R&B crooner tapped producers Dr. Luke and Cirkut to help craft the official kickoff to his yet-titled 7th album.

An upbeat summer jam titled ‘Another Love Song,’ the cut – released by Motown Records and Ne-Yo’s Compound Entertainment – has a timely release as it coincides with the premiere of NBC’s reality dance competition ‘World of Dance’ (which features Ne-Yo, Jennifer Lopez, and Derek Hough as judges).

Teyana Taylor sends pulses racing in the titillating video for new song ‘Drippin.”

The omnipresent Migos join the the 26-year-old on the edgy track, which serves as her first offering since she rode the wave of renewed relevance following her appearance in Kanye West’s ‘Fade.’

It also appears the sizzling number is the debut taste of Taylor’s long-awaited sophomore album.

Watch below, but be warned the clip is Not Safe For Work….

This works…as a buzz track.

We are holding out hope, however, for something beyond this consistently minimalist R&B she’s been peddling. Because her skill set, both as a vocalist and performer, render her capable of much more.

Dancers wouldn’t have gone amiss, but that was solid nonetheless.

Perhaps it’ll lend the songs enough juice on the charts in the UK to become hits there.
