Pop bop alert!

Rita Ora has hatched new single ‘How To Be Lonely’ and it’s already been forecast for big things.

Penned by Lewis Capaldi, the track is the first offering from the chart-topper this year.

Interestingly, during an interview to trumpet the track’s arrival, Ora shared that she felt compelled to release the song and will from henceforth just go with her gut (a record feels right) — rather than be tied to the regimented “lead single…then album” format. She did assure that her third LP is in the making, though.

For now, take a listen to ‘Lonely’ below…

Thanks to the premiere of new song ‘Lottery,’ March 13 is proving itself a lucky day for Dinah Jane fans.

The Fifth Harmony alum has been accumulating ample buzz for her solo efforts as of late and one listen to her newest tune will prove that growing excitement is worth it (all pun intended).

Telling a tale of a ‘good girl gone bad,’ the cut sees Jane exclaim:

“You might have won the lottery / You cashin’ out with every part of me / You might have won the lottery, yeah / It ain’t no secret when we are alone / Put in that nasty when we make it home,” she sings on the chorus.

Wringing wet with sensuality, this mid-tempo bop is undoubtedly just what the love doctor ordered.  Hear it inside:

Not even two years after Rich The Kid petitioned Nicki Minaj fans, affectionately called ‘The Barbs,’ to assist with getting the Rap queen to feature on one of his songs, his wish was granted via the new song, ‘Not Sorry.’

Found aboard ‘Boss Man’ (his third studio album in as many years), the tune serves as the LP’s second single.  Produced by Smash David, Kid recently took to press to express his excitement over nabbing the Nicki feature:

“I just had this song that was perfect to get her on and then she just killed it, this monster verse,” he said. “She’s like one of the first to start the wave for all the other female rappers.”

Since dropping her debut album, ‘The Plan,’ in 2018, R&B songstress DaniLeigh has been one of the genre’s most talked about newcomers.

Despite following the critically acclaimed effort with 2019’s ‘My Present’ EP, her growing legion of fans are still hungry for new music – an appetite she’s looking to serve with new single, ‘Levi High.’

Calling on help from chart-topping rapper DaBaby (whom she previously worked with by choreographing his ‘BOP on Broadway’ music video), ‘Levi’ sees the songstress brag about her assets in ways like never before.

“Levi high jeans, sittin’ right, keep that a*s up / It’s a ’Gram flex, basic hoes gettin’ gassed up / N*ggas in my face, boy bye, n*gga back up / I’m a city girl, it’s only that I act up,” she coos on the chorus.

After earning a moderate hit via his Los del Rio-sampled ‘Ayy Macarena’ (2019), Tyga‘s first single of 2020 – the Megan Thee Stallion-assisted cut, ‘Freak,’ also relies on a familiar tune of yesteryear.

Rapping over a beat that samples Black Eyed Peas’ 2005 hit, ‘My Humps,’ the sexually explicit ‘Freak’ sees Tyga and Meg trade verses about their respective bedroom prowesses.

“Big ghetto booty, bougie, choosy, ain’t giving up the p*ssy for a dinner and a movie,” raps the Houston Hottie.

Working the talk show circuit Wednesday (March 12) and Thursday (March 13), the Emmy and Academy-award nominated actress dropped by ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’ and ‘Live with Kelly & Ryan’ respectively to dish on both ventures, what fans can expect, and some unexpected surprises.
