‘Kiss Me More’ (sans Doja Cat), ‘All the Stars,’ ‘Good Days,’ ‘Broken Clocks,’ ‘Love Galore,’ and ‘The Weekend’ were just a few of the SZA fan favorites to get the live treatment at the GRAMMY nominee’s stunning virtual concert as part of the American Express UNSTAGED music series Thursday (June 17).

Powered by LIVENow, SZA’s live-streamed showing (which followed similar specials from the likes of Alicia Keys, Sam Smith, and Dua Lipa), saw her bring a brigade of hits to the event; one which had special significance for the 30-year-old as it coincided with the celebration of the four-year anniversary of her debut album, ‘CTRL.’

Featuring special appearances from the likes of Travis Scott, Isaiah Rashad, and more, the hourlong event thrilled with its immersive action.

By many standards considered a newcomer (relatively speaking), Doja Cat – in just a few short years – has already proven herself quite the force to be reckoned with on the visual front.

When not dropping jaws with her high octane, out-of-this-world stage performances, the ‘Planet Her’ star is cranking out eccentric, highly stylized music videos that rival some of today’s best offerings.

Her dedication to visual excellence is perceived as somewhat of an anomaly for her generation – a sentiment, as Cat recently revealed to our friends at MTV News, that isn’t far-fetched given the groundbreaking female artists she draws inspiration from.

Look inside to see how she praised Aaliyah, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and others for influencing her work.

The Weeknd‘s ‘After Hours’ era is nothing short of spectacular, serving as one of the most successful albums and accompanying campaigns of the last decade.

Even before the Super Bowl and award show blitz in its support, ‘After Hours’ had already clocked one of the biggest first-week sales of 2020 and spawned two #1 hits – ‘Heartless’ and ‘Blinding Lights’ (the latter sits in Billboard Hot 100 history books as the longest-running single by a solo artist).  By mid-2021, it collected a third with ‘Save Your Tears.’

As if those accomplishments (and the many that followed) aren’t enough to boast, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) have updated certification stats attached to the era to give the star (born Abel Tesfaye) even more to brag about.

The category was body and Megan Thee Stallion undoubtedly got a winning score when she served a stunning rendition of the ‘Good News’ single on the recently-aired season 2 finale of HBO Max’s ‘Legendary’ (on which she also sits as a judge).

Having previously wowed the show’s viewers with vogue-inspired performance of her chart-topping song, ‘Savage’ (as we reported here), the GRAMMY winner returned with a dose of glitz and glamour for the ‘Body’ showing as she shined in a glittering mesh bodysuit – complete with metallic panels, a studded corset, sequined boots, and sparkling gloves and hood to match.

Hate her or love her, Saweetie – the self-proclaimed ‘Queen of Content’ – lives up to the title in more ways than one.

When not blazing the promo trail via Web and TV talk shows to support her singles, the rapstress is found playing covergirl to a number of digital and print magazines.

The latest to feature the ‘Best Friend’ beauty (born Diamonté Harper) on her promotional onslaught are ‘Complex’ and ‘Wonderland’ magazines – both of which quizzed the 27-year-old on her long-awaited debut album, long-term career goals, and so much more.

Look inside to see what she said and catch a glimpse of the fierce photo shoots that accompanied each feature.

Jacquees burst onto the scene with 2016’s 2x Platinum hit, ‘B.E.D.,’ and now – getting by with the help of some industry friends – he’s looking to replicate that song’s success with ‘Bed Friend.’

Tapping fellow R&B chart-topper Queen Naija to assist, the “King of R&B” delivers a sultry bedroom-ready bop that bolsters the beauty of being friends with benefits.

“Started off as best friends (Ooh, she) / Now you my bed friend (My bed) / Whole big relationship (Friend)
Girl, this a blessing / Said we started off as best friends (Ooh, she) / Now you my bed friend (My bed) / Whole big relationship (Friend) / Hope this don’t dead-end,” Quees croons on the cut’s chorus.
