It’s the remix!

Just two days after making headlines for revamping Muni Long‘s megahit ‘Made for Me,’ Songbird Supreme Mariah Carey gave one of her own ballads similar treatment via a four-track EP.

Dedicated to her 2018 cut ‘Portrait‘ (originally found aboard her critically acclaimed 2018 album ‘Caution‘), the May 24-released project not only features the standard version of the fan-favorite cut but also a House-inspired reimagining and more.

First teased as part of Carey’s inclusion on Audible’s ‘Words + Music,’ now the diva’s beloved fans (affectionately called #Lambs) can hear the updated take on ‘Portrait’ courtesy of Apple Music and Spotify.

Barely a year after her breakthrough mixtape ‘Hood Hottest Princess‘ saw her crowned one of 2023’s most exciting newcomers, Sexyy Red is capitalizing on that momentum by unveiling that project’s follow-up: ‘In Sexyy We Trust.’

Preceded by her inaugural solo Hot 100 top 20 hit ‘Get It Sexyy,’ ‘Trust’ – executive produced by her longtime collaborator Tay Keith – is a star-studded, 14-song effort that includes big names like Mike Will Made It, Lil Baby, and Drake.

The latter serves as the co-star on the headline-grabbing track ‘U My Everything’ that features elements of ‘BBL Drizzy’ – an instrumental diss track made by producer extraordinaire Metro Boomin against the Canadian hitmaker amid his beef with Kendrick Lamar.

“Me and the surgeon got history / I changed a lot of girls’ lives for real, they need a new body, they hittin’ me,” raps Drake. “BBL Drizzy, they want a new body, they ask me for it / The last one drunk, he did it for free ’cause I sent over so many passports for him, for real.”

Two years separate fans of Shenseea from her debut album, ‘Alpha,’ but the wait for ‘Never Gets Late Here‘ – the Jamaican hitmaker’s highly anticipated sophomore LP – came to a close Friday (May 24).

Preceded by well-received cuts like ‘Hit & Run‘ and ‘Die For You,’ the 14-track effort – executive produced by London On Da Track – shines with features from big names like Masicka, Di Genius, Anitta, Wizkid, and Coi Leray.

The latter guests on the set’s latest single, ‘Flava.’

“Wanna rub it up, touch it up, feel it up, run it up, on it all night (all night) / If the lights went down, could you keep it up baby? (mmm) / Keep it up, keep it up baby / I wanna drip it up, flick it up, turn around, lift it up, for you all night (yeah, yeah) / Bet you want to get some of my dutty love, baby,” Shen sings on the summery bop.
