Brace yourselves because ‘Black Panther’ is back!

Moments ago at Comic-Con 2022, the trailer for the eagerly anticipated sequel, ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ was unlocked.

Directed by a returning Ryan Coogler, the Marvel production serves as the follow-up to the 2018 first film – which took the world and box office by storm, generating over $1 Billion.

Following the tragic loss of Chadwick Boseman, who died in 2020 of cancer, many have wondered how his harrowing absence would be navigated in the film.

Execs promised that his character T’Challa would not be recast and have honored that promise.

The epic first look preview meets Wakanda and its inhabitants (such as Lupita Nyong’o, Angela Bassett, and Letitia Wright) in mourning. New cast member Michaela Coel also makes her debut.

Musically, the trailer is set to Tems belting an enchanting cover of Bob Marley‘s ‘No Woman No Cry’ which is powerfully interpolated with Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Alright.’

As the rave reviews for Flo Milli’s surprise-dropped debut album ‘You Still Here, Ho?’ roll in, the Southern belle is wasting no time ringing the alarm on promotion of its content.

After serving her growing legion of fans with music videos for the LP’s housed tunes ‘PBC,’ ‘Roaring 20s,’ and more, now she adds ‘No Face’ to the list of cuts afforded the visual treatment.

“Put that p*ssy on his face (Go) put that p*ssy on his face (Yeah) no face, no case/ Ridin’ ’round in ‘Bama, got these n***as in rotation, I ain’t gotta rap, you know p*ssy rule the nation,” she declares aboard the bass-buoyed track.

Few Pop divas can say they’ve spent as much of their careers fielding comparison to a peer as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera have.

Mostly fueled by purported similarities in their images, early sound, proximity in their respective rises to fame, and on-and-off again rivalry, the chart titans – now both in their 40s – have endured over 20 years of being pitted against each other, a positioning that seems to show no signs of slowing.

Case in point? Spears taking to Instagram recently to show off her vocal chops.

The glowing newlywed, who has dodged mixed reviews in the past for her vocal showings on the platform, garnered favorable commentary this time when she belted a stunning rendition of her breakthrough 1998 hit ‘Baby One More Time.’

Highlighted with growls and soaring melisma, the contralto showcase – which for many was reminiscent of Xtina’s signature style – was the latest of Britney embracing her true singing voice (the opposite of the thinner and more nasally-driven vocal showings that line her biggest hits).

Look inside to hear the 40-year-old show you what she’s got “one more time.”

“Slow and steady wins the race” appears to be the mantra of Lizzo‘s career.

Her first major hit, 2017’s ‘Truth Hurts,’ didn’t pop until 2019 after gaining popularity due to Netflix movie ‘Someone Great’ and a viral response on TikTok.  The tune would not only go on to top the Billboard Hot 100, but would also help its parent album – ‘Cuz I Love You’ – to top 5 status on the Billboard 200 and assist Liz with nabbing mltiple GRAMMYs and other industry honors.

Riding that wave until 2021, the Cardi B-assisted ‘Rumors’ and other early tastes of content from her second major label album – ‘Special’ – was greeted with mixed reviews and modest commercial performance.  And while the lack of buzz signaled to many that the 34-year-old was cruising toward the dreaded sophomore slump, she redirected those murmurs thanks to the success of the set’s breakout hit ‘About Damn Time.’

Now, after a 3-year wait, Liz’s fans are undoubtedly saying it’s ‘about damn time’ they get their hands on a new body of work from the singer.  The answer to their prayers awaits inside (courtesy of Spotify and Apple Music).
