Just two weeks separate American voters from the 2020 presidential election.

Joining forces to encourage an increase in this year’s turnout are GRAMMY winners Black Eyed Peas and Jennifer Hudson, who came together for the new song ‘The Love.’

A reimagining of the group’s 2003 hit, ‘Where is the Love,’ the revamp not only endorses former Vice President Joe Biden in his bid for the highest office in the land but also addresses social issues plaguing the nation at present.

Speaking on the heart-tugging clip, Hudson shared:

“We’re living in a time where each one of us must raise our voice. That’s why it is so important to amplify this call to action. We are voting for so much more than the future leaders of our country, we are voting for the future of our citizens and the justice and rights that are too often taken for granted. This is about the future we’d like to see. It’s my hope that every single person who can vote is inspired to make their voice heard.”

Since 1985, October has been christened Breast Cancer Awareness month – a health campaign designed not only to raise awareness about the cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and eventual cure of the disease but also to celebrate survivors and honor those who have lost their battles with it.

To commemorate the occasion this year, five powerhouse female musical superstars – Dolly Parton, Monica, Jordin Sparks, Sara Evans and Rita Wilson – joined forces in the fight against breast cancer via their new  song “PINK”.

A special collaboration set to see its proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen®, the world’s leading breast cancer organization, the tune was produced by Victoria Shaw and co-written with Erin Kinsey and Jodi Marr.

Speaking on the unexpected collective effort, the legendary Parton revealed:

“This is such a beautiful song of hope,” said Dolly Parton.  “I’m honored to join with these powerful women to help support Susan G. Komen’s life-saving work.”

That sentiment was echoed by fellow GRAMMY winner Monica.

“Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among African American women!  My goal is to change that,” added Monica.  “My life and loved ones have been directly impacted by this disease and I want us all to live in a world without breast cancer.  Let’s make pink just another color.”

Despite seeing his new album, ‘Back Home,’ best industry analyst prediction (as previously reported here), ‘I Gotta Make It’ maestro Trey Songz didn’t make the Billboard 200’s top 10 for the first time in over 13 years.

The 22-track LP’s arrival was trumpeted by official and buzz singles ‘Back Home,‘ ‘I Know a Love,’ ‘Two Ways,’ ‘I Know a Love,’ ‘Circles,’ and ‘2020 Riots.’  Though unveiled to critical acclaim, the tunes’ failure to impact the Hot 100 seemed indicative of the lack of buzz surrounding the project at large.

Delivered as the first effort of his career to hit shelves without a charting single preceding it, the October 9-released set was initially projected to debut outside the Billboard 200’s top 20 to sales equivalence of less than 21,000.  While he managed to outpace predictions on the sales and chart placement front, the relative win still marked a negative milestone for the R&B heartthrob.
