Buoyed by an unmistakable sample of Bill Withers‘ 1977 classic ‘A Lovely Day,’ new song ‘A Good Day’ – the latest from Anderson. Paak and Cordae – pays respect to its sonic predecessor while giving the iconic tune a modern 2026 twist.

Another taste of what fans can expect from the duo’s forthcoming collaborative album ‘Heavy Is the Crown‘ (due on digital shelves October 23), ‘Good’ arrived to the Web accompanied by a cinematic music video that pays tribute another classic from yesteryear: Ice Cube‘s ‘Friday’ film franchise.

“I wake up in the mornin’ thinkin’ what we gon’ do today? / ‘Cause this shit don’t feel the same, it just don’t feel the same / Oh, I wake up in the mornin’ thinkin’ how we gon’ ease the pain / ‘Cause all they gon’ do is hate, but they can’t get in the way,” sings Paak.

Boasting a cameo from ‘My Wife and Kids’ actress Jennifer Freeman, look inside to see the hilarious action directed by Dave Meyers.

New Video: Sugababes - 'Ghost'

The Sugababes are wasting no time lighting a match under the campaign for their long-awaited comeback album.

For, fresh from announcing the LP’s 2027 release and unlocking latest single ‘Ghost,’ Mutya, Keisha, and Siobhan have debuted the track’s accompanying music video.

Directed by Thomas James, the theatrical clip continues the striking visual run that has already delivered videos for ‘Jungle,’ ‘Weeds,’ and ‘Shook.’

All four tracks will feature on the trio’s self-titled ‘Sugababes’ album, which arrives on February 12, 2027 and marks their first full studio LP as the original lineup since ‘One Touch’ in 2000.

Speaking on the long-gestating project, the ladies shared:

“We knew from the beginning that we didn’t want to rush this record. We’ve poured so much into the songs, the sound and every detail around it, and the more it came together, the clearer it became that there was only one thing we could call it: Sugababes. It feels unmistakably us.”

And there is plenty of sonic variety incoming. The 12-track set will journey through Garage on ‘Modern Love,’ Amapiano on ‘After All,’ dancefloor territory with ‘Scorpio,’ and orchestral flourishes on ‘Love Language.’

For now, though, it’s all about ‘Ghost.’
