It’s finally here!

After a week of teasing, fans of Urban Pop stageblazer Tinashe can feast their eyes and ears on her newest efforts – a ‘tringle’ (trio of singles) of sorts:  ‘Me So Bad,’ ‘Faded Love,’ and ‘No Drama.’ All reportedly found on her long-awaited sophomore album, ‘Joyride,’ the latter cut made its way to the singer’s official Apple Music page moments ago…and we couldn’t be more excited!

What are you waiting for?!  Look inside for tune featuring Migos star Offset:

2017 was an odd year for Katy Perry.

She earned a top 5 with comeback jam ‘Chained To The Rhythm’ and snagged a $25 Million check for her judging services on the upcoming reboot of ‘American Idol.’

However, it proved to be the most trying year of her music career.

Singles came and went with little impact, housing album ‘Witness’ tanked, and she somehow seemed to lose the ever elusive “cool” that so many clamour for. In many ways, she became the definitive meme of what’s not popping in the pop cultural sphere.

This reality isn’t one that went unnoticed by the head of her label, Capitol Records exec Steve Barnett.

‘Sorry Not Sorry,’ the lead single from Demi Lovato‘s sixth album, ‘Tell Me You Love Me,’ is still enjoying much love from radio and streaming outlets some 6 months after its release.  First impacting charts in July 2017, the Oak Felder-produced cut is still in the top 20 on the Hot 100 and showing no real signs of slowing down.

In an effort to introduce the masses to other hit-worthy gems from the LP, Lovato is taking her powerhouse chops on the promo trail in support of ‘Love Me’s second single – its title track.  With a peak of #53 on the Billboard Hot 100 to date, we’re certain live showings much like that on ‘Ellen’ today will serve as just the bids needed to push the tune into the top 40.
