Sevyn Streeter is back!

Keeping a low profile since the November 2019 release of her last single, ‘Whatchusay,’ the 34-year-old’s returned guns blazing with a new single, ‘HMU,’ and equally hot music video to accompany it.

Said to be featured on her sophomore LP, ‘Drunken Wordz x Sober Thoughtz’ (due on shelves next month), ‘HMU’ comes as her first single of 2020 courtesy of Groundwērk/Entertainment One (eOne).

“I refuse to let it go, you know it’s all yours / We fuck it up, when we get close, it’s perfect timin’ / I was ’bout my business / Until my heart fell in it / Hit me up,” she sings on the Smash David-produced track.

Dua Lipa took to ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’ Thursday (September 17) to serve a delicious slice of self ode with a parodic take on dating during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Referencing her 2017 U.S. breakout hit, ‘New Rules,’ the Brit-born beauty cranked out a list of do’s and don’ts to the beat of her biggest Stateside hit to date, ‘Don’t Start Now’ (found on her 2020 album ‘Future Nostalgia’).

Swapping lines with the host, Lipa sang:

 “What a year for dating, crazy / Nothing is the way it was / People texting exes sex pics / From the basement at their mum’s / You have human contact / don’t know what you’ll contract / so your first date’s always on Zoom.”

Nene Leakes has left the house she helped build.

As reported, the outspoken star has officially departed the ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ – after negotiations between her team and the show’s producers hit an impasse.

Despite making volcanic comments aimed at all at those at the helm of the hit Bravo show (so much so that rumors of legal action went into overdrive), Leakes pivoted and instead soaked her announcement in gratitude.

Her sentiments have since been echoed by both Bravo and Andy Cohen.

Once no stranger to dominating the Billboard Hot 100, ‘In Common’ singer Alicia Keys has seen her last two albums have one glaring stat in common; they both went to chart battle with no Hot 100 top 40 singles to precede them.

While her critically acclaimed 2016-released album, ‘Here,’ didn’t boast any charting singles, its follow-up – the self-titled ‘ALICIA’ – fared better as it at least nabbed two Gold certifications courtesy of the Miguel-assisted ‘Show Me Love’ (#90 peak) and ‘Underdog’ (#69 peak) respectively.

Powered by the relative wins on the Hot 100, ‘ALICIA’ – Keys’ seventh studio LP – is heading to digital shelves with some of her most palpable buzz in recent years thanks to positive press garnered from its tunes shedding light on social issues like the global health crisis, #BlackLivesMatter, and more (see: ‘Perfect Way to Die,’ ‘Love Looks Better,’ ‘Good Job,’ ‘Underdog,’ and more).

Is that hype enough to lift her to the top of the Billboard 200?
