‘You Bring Me Joy’ is exactly what Anita Baker lovers will be singing once they get a load of the diva’s latest announcement.

As we reported here, fans of the Queen of Quiet Storm were royally let down when she took to Twitter in March to ask that everyone stop streaming her music as she fought her label for ownership of her music.  As the story made its rounds, even some of her industry peers – including Taylor Swift (who is fighting a similar battle) – chimed in with shows of support.

Fast forward six months later, Baker, after some behind the scenes negotiations and legal proceedings, has not only taken to social media to report she is the owner of her prized catalog but that she may be set to add some new titles to her discography.

Summer may be well upon us worldwide, but nowhere brought the heat more than the first-ever Yam Carnival in London.

The inaugural installment of the extravaganza took place at Clapham Common and was attended by thousands of music lovers who were treated to flavorsome performances from the likes of Davido, Kehlani, Yemi Alade, NSG, and King of Dancehall Beenie Man.

As the Jamaican royal triumphantly informed the capacity crowd, the showing was his first major stage performance in the UK for 13 years — and he did not disappoint. No hit was left untouched and fans lapped up resonating renditions of bops such as ‘Who Am I,’ ‘Girls Dem Sugar,’ as well as ‘Rum & Red Bull.’

Backed by dynamic dancers, Ms. Banks blazed with ‘Dip,’ ‘Snack,’ and more.

And while Kehlani’s set was shorter than intended, she did not disappoint. Brief but sweet, the GRAMMY nominee wowed with her silky tone during her assured showing; one which saw her in full command of the capacity crowd.

The event’s undeniable main attraction was Afrobeats titan Davido, who magnetized the largest audience of the festival.

Powering through colossal classics such as ‘If’ and ‘Fall,’ the Nigerian superstar enchanted the audience with potent stage presence and zeal that captured the essence of the entire day.

For us, and the thousands in attendance, the Yam Carnival was the sweetest of treats.

After nearly a year of teasing, Drake finally dropped his long-awaited sixth studio album, ‘Certified Lover Boy,’ on Friday (September 3).

Originally announced last October, the project’s seen multiple due dates come and go before its imminent arrival was confirmed earlier this week.

The GRAMMY winner’s first proper studio effort since 2018’s history-making ‘Scorpion,’ Drizzy fans haven’t exactly experienced a musical drought as he’s tided them over with various other releases like the 2019’s ‘Care Package’ and ‘What a Time to Be Alive 2,’ 2020’s ‘Dark Lane Demos,’ 2021’s ‘Scary Hours 2,’ and a host of features on other artists’ tunes.  All in all, those efforts combined still hadn’t quenched thirst for new music from the Canadian hitmaker.

Now, as we reported here, many of the previously mentioned features are returning the favor.  Executive produced by Noah “40” Shebib, the 21-track ‘CLB’ boasts contributions from Travis Scott, Young Thug, Lil Durk, 21 Savage, Project Pat, Ty Dolla $ign, Giveon, Future, Lil Baby, Rick Ross, Yebba, and more.
