Not long after celebrating the 25th anniversary of her debut single, ‘It’s All About Me,’ and raising a toast to commemorate the 20th anniversary of her third studio album, ‘Moodring,’ R&B singer-songwriter Mya gets back to business here and now with the new single, ‘Whine.’

“No one should stand in the way / We should get a little closer now / I’m drunk off your energy eh / Let’s keep it goin’ ’til mornin’ time,” the GRAMMY winner sings on the Theron Thomas-co-penned track.

The island-kissed cut, co-starring legendary dancehall hitmaker Bounty Killer, arrived alongside a similarly themed, choreography-laden music video filmed in Kingston, Jamaica.

It’s only been four years since Latto burst onto the scene with her major-label debut single, ‘B*tch from Da Souf,’ but in that short time she’s already amassed enough accolades to be considered a frontrunner among modern female rappers.

Having recently seen her name inked alongside Rap’s leading ladies in Netflix’s ode to ‘Women In Hip-Hop,’ the femcee (born Alyssa Stephens) continued her toast to the genre’s 50th anniversary by teaming with legendary rapper Rakim and Sprite Limelight.

Weeks after introducing their updated take on his 1992 classic ‘Don’t Sweat the Technique,’ Rakim and Latto reteamed for the remix’s official music video.

“Tell me when they made it cool to be a hater? / Every year, I’m goin’ bigger, doin’ greater / Got ’em dissing for a spot, I keep it player / Putting on for my city, playing County to Decatur,” she spits on the tune’s revamp.

With the peak of summer upon us, Chris Brown rightly guessed that there’s no time better than the present to unleash the video for his latest single ‘Summer Too Hot.’

However, unlike our other segments – Retro Rewind, TGJ Replay, and From The Vault – The Pop Stop is the most in-depth look at Pop songs that may have flown under the radar over the last week that you should know, rather they be from music’s biggest stars or those on the rise.

This week, we want to highlight cuts from Aespa, Fifty Fifty, Tyler Halverson, and Bernhoft .

Ciara‘s ‘How We Roll‘ may have rolled onto the current Billboard charts as one of the top-selling R&B songs of the week, but just two weeks after delivering that Chris Brown-assisted bop she is rolling on to its follow-up: ‘Forever.’

“Everyone’s hatin’, goin’ half on a baby / They think that I’m crazy / ‘Cause one night only can be enough / Some say I’m hatin’ because I be sayin’, “Love is amazin,'” she opens in verse 1 of the Jaydot-produced cut.

Enlisting help from fellow chart-topping Atlantan Lil Baby, ‘Forever’ comes as the latest cut from the diva’s August 18-released EP, ‘Cici,’ to get the video treatment.

Though Quavo‘s biggest successes to date have been attached to his former group Migos, his wins outside of the GRAMMY-nominated trio are nothing to shake a stick at.

As if topping the Rap charts by his lonesome with his 2018 solo debut, ‘Quavo Huncho,’ wasn’t enough to brag about, the rapper (born Quavious Keyate Marshall) repeated the feat last year with ‘Infinity Links‘ as one-half of the duo Unc & Phew (with late fellow former Migos member Takeoff).

In honor of Takeoff’s tragic death, Quavo used his second solo effort – ‘Rocket Power’ – as a healing mechanism.

“This album is for the Rocket, our true fans, and also, this is my therapy,” he wrote on social media. “This album is a true reflection of how I feel right now. Sometimes I’m good, sometimes I’m down, sometimes I’m disappointed, sometimes I fall apart, but then I always find my strength again. I know everything might not be alright right now, but the Rocket showed me a way to make it right! Rocket Power keeps me going. Rocket Power gives me fuel. ‘Rocket Power’ will help us all overcome whatever we’re going through.”

Featuring the likes of Young Thug, Future, and Don Toliver among its high-profile guests, the 18-track affair also boasts production from big names like Atake, Murda Beatz, Zaytoven, Mike Dean, and others.

If you’re looking for a Tinashe fix, the Urban Pop stageblazer has just what it takes to meet your needs.

Coming less than a month after she thrilled fans with ‘Talk to Me Nice,’ the first single from her forthcoming album ‘BB/ANG3L,’ the August 18-released ‘Needs‘ serves as a tasty and equally thrilling successor.

“For BB/ANG3L I was very inspired by the concept of identity,” T said about the follow-up to 2021’s ‘333.’ “Exploring both how I self-identify and also challenging the perceptions of others. I believe how we identify in this world is ultimately our own personal choice; and I’ve enjoyed stripping back layers of aesthetic fluff, smoke & mirrors, and white noise to get down to the core of myself. Who we are at a core level, when we are alone – raw & unfiltered, is what I want this album to reflect.”

Her latest offering under GRAMMY Award-winning producer Ricky Reed’s record label, Nice Life Recording Company, hop inside to get familiar with ‘Needs.’

Ciara may have spent the last year dropping gems like ‘Jump,’ ‘Better Thangs,’ and ‘Da Girls‘ as teases of what was to come on her new body of work, the long-awaited follow-up to 2019’s ‘Beauty Marks,’ but – to the surprise of her dedicated fans (affectionately called the #CSquad) – the project’s tracklist was devoid of these titles.

Instead, the GRAMMY winner is thrilling music lovers with a collection of never-before-heard cuts assembled for the new EP, ‘Cici.’

Kicked off by the release of the Chris Brown-assisted single ‘How We Roll,’ the 7-song project – which also features guest appearances from Lil Baby and Big Freedia – is delivered via the diva’s own imprint, Beauty Marks Entertainment, in partnership with Uptown and Republic Records.

Britney Spears is no stranger to headlines and yesterday (August 16) brought with it another major twist for the singer: her husband Sam Asghari has filed for divorce just 14 months after they married.

In the 24 hours that have passed, the rumor mill has cranked into overdrive about the pair (who began dating after meeting on the set of her ‘Slumber Party’ video in 2016).

Indeed, while all that has been publicly disclosed is that the aspiring actor cited “irreconcilable differences” in his filing, reports have claimed that Asghari is gearing up to challenge the couple’s prenup in a bid to force Spears’ hand for what effectively would amount to a “go peacefully” payment.

Breaking his silence, the 29-year-old has issued a statement – as have his reps – dispelling, well, everything.
