The clock is racing toward the October 24 release of Halle Bailey‘s long-awaited debut album ‘Love…or Something Like It,‘ and the singer-actress is sending buzz over the project into overdrive by lifting the lid on its official tracklist.
See the full list of megawatt talent tapped to join her on the 15-song project.
In what comes as little surprise, Taylor Swift continues to dominate Billboard charts to historic measure with content from her album ‘The Life of a Showgirl‘ album for a second week.
Ed Sheeran‘s latest album ‘Play‘ may have entered the Billboard 200 with his lowest first-week sales to date, but that doesn’t mean he’s abandoning promotion of the project.
Breathing new life into some fan-favorites from the LP, Sheeran dropped the ‘Play (Remixes)‘ EP on October 17 – revamping songs like ‘Don’t Look Down,’ ‘Heaven,’ ‘Sapphire,’ and ‘Symmetry’ with Indian artists.
Even featuring Ed singing in the Punjabi and Hindi languages, the latter tune was given the video treatment alongside singer-rapper Karan Aujla.
“I don’t know where you’ve been / Cracked the code of feelin’ / We’re alone, two silhouettes just touchin’ skin / This is how it begins,” Sheeran sings in the first verse of the intercultural cut.
‘Sweet Love‘ songstress Anita Baker may have left legions of fans feeling sour after her 2023 ‘Songstress Tour‘ was muddied with bad press for her very public fallout with co-headliner Babyface as well as reports of extreme tardiness, cancelations, and even rumors of substance abuse.
Ready to leave all the drama in her rear view, the 8x GRAMMY winner could not only be gearing up to enter 2026 with long-awaited new music but also a new global jaunt to support it.
Doja Cat may have scored her fourth consecutive Billboard 200 top 10 hit with her latest album, ‘Vie,’ but the September 26-issued project pounced to the position with her lowest first-week sales this decade.
Undoubtedly hoping to help the LP lengthen its tenancy on the tally, Doja is still hot on the promo trail in its support – most recently giving her beloved fans (affectionately called #Kittens) a peek at the behind-the-scenes action of the music video of the effort’s latest single ‘Stranger.’
Released the same day as its parent album, ‘Stranger’ serves as the third single from ‘Vie’ following the warmly received ‘Gorgeous‘ and ‘Jealous Type.’

That Grape Juice‘s From The Vault shines the spotlight this week on Brandy’s ‘Afrodisiac,’ a bold pivot in the GRAMMY-winner’s sound and look.
By 2004, the Vocal Bible was ready to experiment, and with Timbaland behind the boards, she delivered one of the most forward-focal tracks of her career.
Directed by Matthew Rolston, its accompanying video matched the sonic edge with moody lighting, choreography, and styling that re-positioned Brandy, an act the masses had known since childhood, as a woman.
Though it only peaked at #42 on the Billboard Hot 100, fans instantly recognized the cut as an offering ahead of its time.
Two decades on (as B-Rocka sets sail on ‘The Boy is Mine Tour‘ with Monica), the visual still feels fresh, streams climbing steadily as new audiences discover its daring artistry.
‘Afrodisiac’ proved Brandy wasn’t content to rest on the laurels of her previous. As with its like-titled parent album, it showcased that she could push R&B into the future, leaving behind a cult gem that continues to influence.
