Alicia Keys keeps the upliftment going on new song ‘Good Job.’

Served up as the latest taste of incoming album ‘Alicia,’ the haunting hymn expresses gratitude to those whose efforts – in various corners of life – may have gone unnoticed.

Suffice to say, in light of the global health crisis, it arrives at an apt time.

Speaking on CNN’s Anderson Cooper-hosted ‘Town Hall,’ the 15-time GRAMMY winner shared that the song is being released in dedication to all the essential workers helping combat the pandemic.

Its arrival comes on the heels of ‘Underdog,’ which is thematically similar and topped iTunes upon becoming anthem of hope.

Last night brought with it BET special ‘Saving Our Selves: A BET COVID-19 Relief Effort.’ 

Reports have been mounting touting statistics that show how African Americans are disproportionately harmed by the coronavirus pandemic.

Together with the NAACP, United Way Worldwide, and others, BET set out to combat the alarming rates with the fundraiser, with a target of helping provide financial, educational, and community support directly to Black communities – especially those hit hardest by this crisis.

Jointly hosted by TV personality/actor Terrence J, Kelly Rowland, and actress Regina Hall, the special brought with it performances from the likes of H.E.R., Jhene Aiko, Common, Ludacris, Jermaine Dupri, and Kirk Franklin (alongside Fantasia, Tyrese, Kelly Price, Jonathan McReynolds, and more).

While many pointed to the switch from dark hair as the leading force that derailed the career of one-time Pop Titan Katy Perry, diehard fans assert the absence of two key figures is to blame:  Dr. Luke and Benny Blanco.

While both key contributors to every one of her major label albums except the critically and commercially panned, ‘Witness,’ Blanco is the man behind the magic of some of her biggest hits including “I Kissed A Girl,” “Hot N Cold,” “California Gurls,” “Teenage Dream,” and more.

As she gears up for the summer 2020 release of her yet-titled sixth studio LP, fans – affectionately called #KatyCats – have been clamoring for pertinent details about its release, especially producers and such.  That’s probably why they were thrilled to see her Instagram live chat with Benny Tuesday night (April 21).

Young Thug has entered the chat.

Less than a day after French Montana earned some serious jeering from Twitter for asserting he had more hits than Kendrick Lamar (click here to read more about that), his own ‘Black Out’ co-star – Young Thug – took to social media to join the chorus of detractors.

Branding the ‘Unforgettable’ star a ‘p*ssy’ and ‘fool’ for suggesting his discography contained more memorable songs than Lamar, his fiery criticism landed on the desk of Montana – who hit back just as hard.
