After amassing mega-success in home country Sweden, Zara Larsson zoomed into mass consciousness with global hits such as ‘Lush Life’ and ‘Never Forget You.’

All built towards the 2017 release of debut international album ‘So Good.’

Achieving reasonable success, the project set quite the foundation for Larsson’s follow-up – which fans have been anticipating in earnest.

However, updates have become sparse. That is until now.

And in a refreshing move, the 20-year-old opened up about the cause – and kept it all the way real.

Nearly four months after tapping sisters Toni, Towanda, and Trina to assist on ‘Broken Things’ – a critically acclaimed gem lifted from her August due sophomore set – Traci Braxton returns by her lonesome with another offering from the LP entitled ‘Lifeline.’

Penned by Nye the Songwrita & Mariam Aquarium, with production helmed by Dave Lindsey, the emotional cut comes as an ode to the man in Braxton’s life.

“Secure and safe / And what you do reciprocate / Protect me from tidal waves / And anything that comes my way,” she belts. “Knight in shining armor you / And anything you say I will do it / And I will never face no type of danger here with you baby.”

Boasting a top 5 debut upon its premiere on the Hot 100 last week, this week saw the cut step up to the #3 position. Now, to add to its success, ‘FEFE’s been certified Gold.

While ‘Whitney,’ the first authorized documentary about the life of pop icon Whitney Houston, left jaws dropped from its recounts of the singer’s troubled dealings with drugs, rumored lesbian relationship, and tumultuous relationship with ex-husband/singer Bobby Brown, the most shocking allegation from the film came from the singer’s assistant who claim the ‘I Will Always Love You’ singer confided in her that she was molested as a child by her cousin, singer Dee Dee Warwick. The claim was substantiated by Houston’s brother, Gary, who claimed he too was a victim of Dee Dee’s advances.

Since those accusations came to light, Houston’s mother – Cissy – adamantly denied the claims in a lengthy statement (click here to read). Now, Dee Dee’s sister – the famed Dionne Warwick – has followed suit. In a recent sit down with Larry King, the ‘Walk on By’ hitmaker referred to the ‘evil’ allegations as ‘hogwash’ and ‘unforgivable.’
