With collaborative ventures or solo singles like ‘New Normal,’ ‘Last Call,’ ‘Present,’ ‘Skyline,’ and ‘Satellite,’ singer-songwriter Khalid kept fans fed with new music over the last two years and eager to learn the fate of his third studio album – the serially delayed ‘Everything is Changing.’

And while he’s yet to offer an official update on the project’s status, he continues to tease cuts that may line its tracklist. The latest of such stature is ‘Softest Touch.’

A mellow, laidback groove, ‘Touch’ hears Khalid praise a love interest for having everything he’s looking for in a woman.

“You’ve got the softest touch, I just can’t get enough / When it comes to you, you are the one I want / You’ve got the softest touch, I just can’t get enough / This touch, you’ll always be the one I want,” he croons on the hook of the Vaughn Oliver, Blake Straus, and Nico Stadi-produced jam.

Since late 2021 with the arrival of her Platinum-selling debut solo single, ‘Have Mercy,’ singer-songwriter Chloe Bailey has had fans saying just that as she blazes a path up Billboard charts without the help of her sister, Halle Bailey (as part of the sister act ChloexHalle).

And while ‘Mercy’ counts itself among a string of introductory tunes that didn’t make the final cut for Chloe’s debut solo album, ‘In Pieces,’ those scrapped cuts certainly set the pace for it.

On the wings of warmly-received songs ‘Body Do,’ ‘How Does It Feel,’ ‘Pray It Away,’ and its title cut, March 31 brings with it the GRAMMY nominee’s long-awaited inaugural body of work courtesy of Beyoncé’s Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records.

‘A Thousand and One’ has been earning rave reviews for resonating reasons.

Anchored by Teyana Taylor and written/directed by A.V. Rockwell, the moving film tells the story of the spirited Inez who returns home to Harlem, NYC in the mid-’90s.

While reacclimating, she encounters a youngster named Terry who is on the cusp of entering the foster care system. Inez follows her heart and takes him into her own care…illegally. What follows is an emotional rollercoaster ride that spans 12 years.

For many, there’s been no escaping the fiery feud between Xscape members Tamika Scott and sister LaTocha Scott.

The deeply personal fallout between singing sisters has been central to the hit Bravo reality show ‘SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B.’

In the time since, LaTocha has hit back and labeled her sister a “liar.”

Armed with a stacked collection of “receipts,” Tamika has returned serve in a jaw-dropping video – in which she alleges that she is at the center of a blackmail attempt centered around a sex tape.
