Nearly 16 years after first thrilling audiences with a performance of Ray Charles hit ‘Georgia on My Mind’ at the 2004 BET Awards, songstress India.Arie has surprised fans by releasing a recorded version of the timeless classic.

Teaming with ESPN to promote the 2020 Masters Tournament (held in Augusta, GA), the Georgia-raised beauty serves up a delectable tribute to the Peach State and tapped fellow Grammy winner, Aaron Lindsey, to helm production.

Serving as the official theme of this year’s championship game, hear it in full inside:

With headlines running hot with reports Coachella 2020 is set to be rescheduled due to coronavirus fears (as we reported here), ‘Hot Girl Summer’ hitmaker Megan Thee Stallion is one of the event’s performers sounding off on the news.

Recently spotted in New York City by our friends at TMZ, the 25-year-old dished on the festival’s pending postponement as well as her March 6th-released EP, ‘Suga,’ and how it – despite initially being touted as her debut album – will serve as a means to tide fans over until she officially makes the LP drop.

‘Stupid Love’ – the first single from Lady Gaga‘s forthcoming sixth album ‘Chromatica’ – has proven itself quite a smart musical move for the Pop diva.

As we reported here, the BloodPop-produced song – which premiered February 28 –  debuted at #5 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100, her highest premiere placement in 9 years.

In addition to becoming her 16th top 10 hit, its arrival on charts also comes as a history-making feat as it makes her only the second female to date to have nabbed a top 10 single in each of the last three decades (2000s, 2010s, 2020s).

On Sunday (March 8), Pop diva Katy Perry was “girl power” personified at the Women’s T20 World Cup in Melbourne, Australia.

Taking to the stage before the final match between Australia and India, Perry commemorated International Women’s Day by donning several different 60’s-inspired outfits, including a pink and purple dress decorated with Venus symbols.

Stomping across the stage in fierce patent leather thigh-high boots, the songstress – hot on the global promo trail in support of her latest single, ‘Never Worn White’ –  cranked out some of her greatest hits, namely the chart-toppers ‘Firework’ and ‘Roar.’

Although his ‘Trolls World Tour’ soundtrack collaboration with SZA, ‘Other Side,’ just entered the Billboard Hot 100 this week (#61), Justin Timberlake is already moving on to its follow-up.

Tapping Anderson .Paak to assist, the cut – ‘Don’t Slack’ – is just as funky as its predecessor.

“Okay now don’t slack / I need all my racks / No, we don’t hold back / Act like you know that,” they sing.

Coming as what many hope is just a foretaste of more music from the duo (as Timberlake previously teased a possible joint album with the Grammy winner), look inside to hear ‘Slack’:

In addition to gracing headlines and magazine covers aplenty for being one of Rap music’s most promising breakout stars, ‘My Type’ maestra Saweetie has already seen her name typed alongside Platinum certifications by the RIAA and as a tenant of some of the Billboard Hot 100’s upper rungs.

Having made history for being one of ten female rappers to score a top 30 hit over the last decade, her entry into the exclusive club (which also includes Missy Elliott, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, City Girls, Lizzo, Iggy Azalea, Young M.A., M.I.A., and Megan Thee Stallion) is just the tip of the iceberg, the rapstress (born Diamonté Qiava Valentin Harper) told That Grape Juice in an exclusive interview.

Thanks to the enduring successes of her first two EPs – ‘High Maintenance’ (2018) and ‘Icy’ (2019) – expectations for her official debut LP (due later this year) are at their highest.  However, if her ventures into fashion and acting are any indication, the album will be just one of many ventures Saweetie showcases this year that will meet and exceed the hype.

Ahead of her upcoming London show at Heaven on May 26th, she dished on her short, but storied career, her foray into fashion, next musical moves and so much more:
