R&B besties Elijah Blake and Keyshia Cole may have created an anthem for many during the pandemic with their new song, ‘Bad Liar.’

Fans of both artists know the two almost have a decades worth of musical collaborations to their credit, as Blake first contributed his writing to tunes found aboard her fifth studio album, ‘Woman to Woman’ (which famously features their co-penned hit ‘Enough of No Love’).

Now, the two are hoping their supporters show love to their newest creation; ‘Bad Liar’ – a testament to the negative impact to one’s mental health when they don’t express their true feelings.

“What if I scream at the top of my lungs? / Acted like I had a gun? / Maybe then the world would notice that I’m not ok? / I’m so f*ckin’ sick of people acting like they see no evil / If it ain’t their kinda problem they just look away,” Blake croons.

Premiering at #14 on the Hot 100, the 80’s-inspired bop is her 15th top 20 hit and impressive 50th entry on the main hit list since her career began (as we reported here).

Thanks to the enduring success of her first multiplatinum hit, the chart-topping ‘Say So’ (as we reported here), rapper Doja Cat saw the tune’s 2019-released parent album – ‘Hot Pink’ – crack the Billboard 200’s top 10 earlier this year.  In fact, the #9 peak is her highest rung reached on that tally to date.

To keep up the momentum of her relatively newfound success, the 24-year-old – fresh from her inaugural MTV VMA win as 2020’s ‘Best New Artist’ – has revealed she’s already put the finishing touches on ‘Pink’s follow-up.

Ahead of winning her second MTV VMA Sunday night (August 30), the 25-year-old was on the wind down from her August 29 comeback performance (the first since her shooting incident) when she took to social media to upload a freestyle.
