Ed Sheeran released his latest album, ‘Subtract,’ on May 5 and to go along with the release, he shared several music videos for the songs found on the album.

All of the visuals were directed by Mia Barnes and take place in Sheeran’s hometown of Suffolk, England.

The visuals help tell the story of Sheeran moving through grief, depression, and loss. However, there can be some healing seen as well, such as in the video for ‘The Hills of Aberfeldy.’ 

Since its debut, ‘Subtract’ has been met with rave reviews and some critics have even gone on to call it Sheeran’s best work.

Check out the videos for the ‘Subtract’ tracks below…

Jacquees isn’t letting that pesky petition (signed by over 50,000 people) stop him from putting his unique spin on the jams of other artists.

Despite being greeted with mixed reviews over the years for his takes on Brandy‘s ‘I Wanna Be Down,’ Michael Jackson‘s ‘Dirty Diana,’ Ella Mai‘s ‘Trip,’ Chris Brown‘s ‘Yo,’ Deborah Cox‘s ’Nobody’s Supposed to Be Here,’ and many other memorable numbers, the 29-year-old is hoping his rendition of rising R&B starlet CoCo Jones‘ breakout hit is received differently.

Taking a break from the promo trail in support of his December 2022-released studio album, ‘Sincerely For You,’ hop inside to hear the ‘Quemix’ of CoCo’s ‘ICU’ (which arrives alongside an official video directed by BPace).

Known on the reality circuit thanks to his role in OWN’s ‘Love & Marriage: Huntsville,’ Holt is renowned for being quite the lothario.

And it appears Whitfield’s friend and castmate Kenya Moore is less than impressed.

The hit series chronicles the iconic groups as they prepare for an epic joint show comprised of their biggest hits.

Beyond celebrating the music that has been the soundtrack to so many lives, the core of the chaos thus far has been Xscape’s internal issues and bubbling beef with SWV over whether their concert will be jointly billed or headlined by the ‘My Little Secret’ songbirds.

On the finale (episode 6), which airs this coming Sunday, viewers will see whether the ensembles are able to make the concert come together – all the while navigating how undone the relationship between sisters Tamika Scott and LaTocha Scott has become.

‘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.

That Grape Juice‘s Chet Kincaid sat down with Taylor and Rockwell for an intimate roundtable discussion in New York City.

During the candid discussion, the dynamic duo opened up about the creative process of the movie (which won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize), cliches, growing up in Harlem, the realities of gentrification, and more.
