A year after FLO watched their debut studio album ‘Access All Areas‘ soar to the top 5 of UK Album charts, the Urban Pop trio – comprised of Jorja Douglas, Stella Quaresma, and Renée Downer – are looking to repeat the feat with the set’s recently released repackage.

Not to be confused with the 2024-released, original deluxe edition featuring Chloe Bailey, Kehlani, GloRilla, Bree Runway, and more, the 2025 reissue (titled the ‘Unlocked Version‘) boasts four new songs including the previously leaked ‘Recently Deleted’ and ‘Conceited’ as well as ‘Say Less’ and ‘Do Too Much.’

Unveiled courtesy of Island Records on Friday (December 12), hop inside to stream the new project via Apple Music and Spotify.

If you thought the historic domination of Mariah Carey‘s perennial hit ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You‘ was limited to the Hot 100 this week, you thought wrong.

The same day Billboard took to press to reveal the tune had become the longest-reigning #1 hit in the 67-year history of its all-genre chart, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced the song’s parent album – 1994’s ‘Merry Christmas‘ – helped pencil its performer in the organization’s record books thanks to a shiny new Diamond certification.

Tamar Braxton‘s recent attempt to share some holiday cheer was met with holiday jeers!

The four-time GRAMMY nominee, no stranger to courting praise aplenty for her soaring vocal performances over the years, hit a few sour notes with critics during her visit to ‘Sherri‘ on Tuesday (December 16).

Ahead of delivering an eye-popping interview while discussing ‘The Braxtons‘ reality show and rumors she was romantically involved with Birdman – her legendary sister Toni Braxton‘s famous husband – she walked out performing her rendition of the yuletide classic ‘Joy to the World‘ (found aboard the ‘Unexpected Christmas‘ soundtrack).

Much to viewer surprise, it didn’t exactly bring the joy intended.

Six months after rising R&B acts JayDon and Paradise woke up interest from music lovers with their blazing slow jam ‘Lullaby,’ they’re poised to gain even more notoriety for the track thanks to the inclusion of iconic R&B star Usher on its remix.

Delivered to digital shelves on Friday (December 12), the revamped version of the track sees Ush – who is JayDon’s real-life label boss at Mega Records – show the new kids how it’s done.
