But, if recent news from the GRAMMY nominee is anything to judge by, she’s ready to turn up the heat this winter with a new musical project to act as a warm-up.

John Legend celebrates his ‘Wonder Woman,’ wife Chrissy Teigen, in the video for his brand new single.

Lifted from the crooner’s eighth studio album ‘Legend,’ the song and its family-focussed visual are billed as a tribute to the power and grace of women.

The clip, which was shot in Tuscany, Italy, arrives on the couple’s 9th wedding anniversary.

Rising rapstress GloRilla may be ‘f*ck n**** free’ as her breakout hit proclaims, but she’s definitely not drama free thanks to murmurs of a feud with fellow femcee Saweetie.

Months after it was first announced the ‘Tap In’ hitmaker was tapped to co-headline the remix to ‘FNF’ (as we reported here), Glo lifted the lid on the tune’s official revamped version Friday (September 9) featuring Latto and City Girls‘ star JT.

With Saweetie’s glaring absence, critics, outlets, and even some of her fans – affectionately called the #ICYGang – wondered if the Rap diva had been given the cold shoulder due to some previously unreported tension.

But if a social media post lifted to Glo’s Instagram Friday afternoon is anything to judge by, that suggestion couldn’t be further from the truth.

Months after it was first reported rising rapstress GloRilla tapped Saweetie to help recharge her summer hit, ‘FNF (Let’s Go)’ (as we reported here), news has surfaced to indicate she’s giving the tune a lifeline with a set of other hit femcees:  JT (of the City Girls) and Latto.

GloRilla’s first charting Hot 100 hit, the original incarnation of the female empowerment anthem peaked at #49 at the height of its popularity due in great part to a viral response on social media.

Now, the Memphis-bred femcee is looking to get ‘Let’s Go’ back to its former glory – and bringing two other Southern beauties along for the ride.

Look inside to hear the contributions of JT and Latto to the hit song’s remix.

Gwen Stefani is waxing candid about the possibility of new music.

The Pop star first found trailblazing fame as part of No Doubt before dominating the music landscape as a soloist in the mid-2000s with bop after smash hit bop.

And then there was a break. A ten-year break, at that, before her third solo album ‘This Is What the Truth Feels Like’ landed. A project that itself followed an abandoned No Doubt reunion.

Praised in some corners, the project didn’t deliver commercially and silence once again defined Stefani’s musical output – or lack thereof.

Last year, it seemed the multihyphenate had re-started her musical engine with singles ‘Let Me Reintroduce Myself’ and ‘Slow Clap (ft. Saweetie_,’ only for there to be no further acceleration when neither song impacted the Billboard Hot 100.

Now, in a new interview, Stefani provides context as to why, as well as her future as an active artist.

“It was amazing as always working with David on ‘Trampoline,’” Afrojack said in statement. “The last hip-hop song we did together was ‘Hey Mama’ and it was an insane success. I’m very honored David asked me to come help him with this beat, it was a lot of fun.”
