It’s been nearly three years since Ledisi unleashed her Grammy-nominated 8th studio album, ‘Let Love Rule,’ but now the vocal powerhouse is ready to rule over R&B charts once more with her new single, ‘Anything For You.’

Created alongside frequent collaborators Rex Rideout and Jairus “J.Mo” Mozee, the slow burning, guitar-driven cut is presumed to be the first single from her yet-titled 9th studio effort.

“Your kisses are a sweet surprise/Still can’t believe you’re in my life/The impossible is possible because of you/I will love you past forever,” Ledisi wails on the stirring love song.

The Pussycat Dolls put their powerful pipes on display in a brand new acoustic performance of comeback bop ‘React.’

Jointly presented by Rankin and Vero, the spirited showing sees all of the Dolls flex their vocal prowess. No doubt to the jubilation of their legions of fans.

The debut of the performance comes in the wake of the postponement of PCD’s upcoming arena tour, due to the global health crisis.

Speaking on delaying the trek from April to October, Scherzinger said:

“I’m trying to look at the positive in this situation, and ultimately it means that we have a little more time to put together something amazing to take out on the road and show the world. I’m just praying that the world is tuned into the advice and guidelines to ensure that this virus claims as few lives as possible and allows us to celebrate life again soon.”
