True to her word, four months ago Toni Braxton announced music lovers would see her name spelled on the Billboard charts courtesy of a new album, her ninth solo studio effort ‘Spell My Name.’

Landing on digital shelves Friday (August 28), the LP – kicked off by R&B chart-topping hit, ‘Do It,’ and the funky, mid-tempo groove ‘Dance’ – follows the GRAMMY winner’s ill-fated ‘Sex & Cigarettes’ (which quickly burned out on charts in early 2018).

Calling on H.E.R., Missy Elliott, and more familiar names to act as guests on the album (while Antonio Dixon and longtime collaborator Babyface serve among contributing producers and songwriters), the opus serves as Braxton’s debut aboard new label home, Island Records.

August 28 marks the end of a noted silence for songbird Jazmine Sullivan.

Sure, she’s released tunes tied to special projects since the release of her 2015 studio album, ‘Reality Show,’ but by and large the GRAMMY nominated powerhouse has steered away from the delivery and promotion of her own material over the past 5 years.

Stunning fans Thursday (August 27) with the announcement of new single ‘Lost One’ (as we reported here), its arrival comes just 8 months after Sullvan took to social media to confirm her long-awaited new efforts would arrive in 2020 (click here to read more on that).

True to her word, look inside to hear the latest from Jazzy:

After making history with their first set of back-to-back Hot 100 top 40 hits, ‘How You Like That’ and Lady Gaga collaboration ‘Sour Candy,’ K-Pop quartet BLACKPINK is looking to break into the tally’s top 10 with their newest soon-to-be-hit: ‘Ice Cream.’

Tapping Selena Gomez to assist, the amply-teased tune sees the chart-topping songstress join forces with group members Lisa, Jisoo, Jennie and Rosé to serve up a delectable Pop track their respective fans are sure to eat up.

Given their history of cranking out top 40 hits (see: Jason Derulo‘s ‘Swalla’ and Megan Thee Stallion‘s ‘Hot Girl Summer’), Ty Dolla $ign and Nicki Minaj have already proven they have the Midas touch.

Now, with new song ‘Expensive,’ they’re looking to prove it again.

“She’s so expensive, okay / Beemers or the Benzes, okay,” Ty sings on the track. “Lambo or the double R truck, yeah yeah / She gon’ let a superstar f**k.”

The song is assumed to be one of many gems set to line $ign’s forthcoming studio album, ‘Dream House’ (the follow-up to 2017’s ‘Beach House 3’).

After much teasing, ‘Over Now’ – the new joint single from Calvin Harris and The Weeknd – has arrived.

Confirmed earlier this week after both acts took to their respective social media handles to hush rumors they’d been cooking up a collaboration, the tune follows Harris’ July-released single, ‘Live Without Your Love’ (which was released under his Love Regenerator).

Having already released four EPs this year alone, it’s unclear as of time reported if Calvin plans to tie ‘Over Now’ to a larger body of work.

Until we find out for sure look inside to hear the laidback, retro R&B-inspired in full.

As widely reported, the singer appeared to take jabs at Beyonce on the remix of ‘Turnin Me On’ and later went viral for refusing to hold a magazine with the star’s image on it.
