When it comes to Queen, few can boast rising to the challenge of doing justice to hits by the legendary ‘Under Pressure’ performers.  ‘Pressure’ singer Ari Lennox is now among that few.

Putting a soulful spin on their classic ‘A Kind of Magic’ via a live performance in Coca Cola’s newly rebranded Coke Studio, Lennox tapped longtime collaborator Elite to produce the cut that is among seven twists on the tune featured in the 2-minute movie ‘The Conductor’ (which honors the Freddie Mercury-led band).

The other artists secured to deliver renditions of the iconic number are Turkish electro-pop producer Ekin Beril, Latin Urban Pop powerhouse Mariah Angeliq, Nigerian singer-songwriter and producer Tems, Canadian-Indian rapper and producer Tesher, British singer-songwriter Griff, and K-Pop girl band TRI.BE.

“Thank you to my beautiful family at @cocacola for having me take part in their new #RealMagic campaign❤️. Singing Freddie Mercury was such a gift,” wrote Lennox on Instagram.

Less than two months after Harry Styles‘ latest hit ‘As It Was’ found a home atop the Billboard Hot 100, its parent album – ‘Harry’s House’ – is looking to do the same at the perch of the Billboard 200.

Released Friday (May 20), the 13-track set – his third studio effort – features the previously previewed songs ‘Boyfriend,’ ‘Late Night Talking,’ and ‘Daylight’ and also comes as the follow-up to 2019’s history-making ‘Fine Line,’ which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200.

“I feel like it’s kind of a collection of all of my favorite things and very much like the album I’ve always wanted to make, so I’m really happy,” Styles said of ‘House.’ “I think for me, it’s definitely the most personal record I think I’ve made. It was definitely the most intimately made thing I’ve done so far. Obviously, the [global health crisis] and everything kind of added to the way it was made. It was made by a few people in a small room.”
