Not long after Pop megastar The Weeknd sent his faithful fans into a frenzy with the release of his new song, ‘Double Fantasy,’ he doubled their pleasure with the unveiling of its official music video.

Featuring Future, the Mike Dean and Metro Boomin-produced tune comes as the first original song off the Canadian hitmaker’s upcoming HBO original series, ‘The Idol’ (slated for a June 4 premiere).

“You want me inside you, beg me to slide in / No way we should have never met / Girl, when you ride it, see you decided,” sings The Weekend in the racy visual.

Co-starring French-actress Lily Rose-Depp (who also leads ‘Idol’), hop inside to see the ‘Double’ video in full.

‘White Men Can’t Jump’ is the latest classic film to be reimagined for a whole new generation.

Led by rapper Jack Harlow (in his feature film debut) and actor Sinqua Walls, the new take on the 1992 classic tells the tale of two basketball hustlers. Initially, at odds with each other (both on and off the court), the pair eventually team up to conquer a bigger goal.

‘First Class’ MC Harlow takes on the role of Jeremy (a spin on the character played by Woody Harrelson), while Walls stars as Kamal (a character inspired by Wesley Snipes‘ role in the original flick).

Premiering on Hulu on May 19 (and Star in international territories), a new extended trailer for the 20th Century Fox production has been unleashed.

Directed by Calmatic and written by Kenya Barris, the movie also stars Teyana Taylor, Vince Staples, Laura Harrier, Lance Reddick, and Myles Bullock.

With Ed Sheeran sailing towards to the release of his new album ‘-‘ (Subtract) on May 5, the Pop chart-topper has premiered its latest single ‘Boat.’

Penned by the star by the British seaside, the song was the first crafted for the LP.

The track, which follows UK #1 smash ‘Eyes Closed,’ arrived alongside its official video, which was directed by Mia Barnes.

Simple, yet effective, the clip finds Sheeran submerged in the sea with waves engulfing him.

Just weeks after German Pop sensation Kim Petras teased a collaboration with Rap Queen Nicki Minaj, the two have sent their respective fan bases into a royal frenzy with the official unveiling of the new song ‘Alone.’

Lined with a prominent sample of Alice Deejay‘s 1999 signature hit ‘Better Off Alone,’ the tune follows Petras singles ‘If Jesus Was a Rockstar’ and ‘Brrr’ and is believed to be the third single from her forthcoming album.

“I’ve been tryna give it to you all night / What’s it gonna take to get you all alone? / I just want you here by my side / I don’t wanna be here, baby, on my own,” Kim croons on the chorus of the Dr. Luke-produced bop.

Ahead of the June 4 premiere of The Weeknd‘s forthcoming HBO drama series, ‘The Idol,‘ the Pop megastar (born Abel Tesfaye) lifts the lid on music that is set to line the show’s official soundtrack.

The first taste of such comes courtesy of ‘Double Fantasy’ – a reunion of sorts of Tesfaye and his ‘Low Life‘ co-star Future.

“Temperature risin’, bodies united / Now that I trapped you in my arms / No need to fight it, no need to hide it / Now that I see what’s in your heart / Baby girl, I’m the only one who knows this side of you,” Abel croons on the Mike Dean-produced cut.

Just days after the song got an unofficial debut during Metro Boomin‘s set at Coachella (April 14), music lovers are being introduced to its recorded version.

One of the year’s most unexpected pairings comes courtesy of chart-blazing music star Khalid and rising rapstress/songstress Bree Runway.

Titled ‘Be the One,’ the tune tells the tale of two hesitant lovers on the precipice of a passionate love affair.

“I can see the tears in your eyes when you look in mine / Told you for the thousandth time, you should be the one for me / Should I stay here tonight? Baby, you decide / Hopin’ you’d be the one, you, you could be the one,” they croon on the chorus of the Digi-produced cut.

The union comes as one neither star was shy about expressing elation over.

“This collaboration is special to me for more than one reason; I’m obsessed with this song; our voices marry together perfectly,” Bree said in a statement. “It magically came together from a hangout in the studio; I love Khalid for his light and his incredible character, I’m really proud to call him a friend, and now musical collaborator. This release will be major, very excited for the world to hear!”

Khalid echoed the sentiment.

“I’ve been a supporter of Bree since long before I even met her, and I have always been a fan of her artistry,” he added. “She has always been a superstar in my eyes and I’m beyond excited to share this moment and collaboration with someone who I can call a genuine friend!”

Accompanied by a Zachary Bailey-helmed music video, see and hear ‘Be the One’ inside.
