After ringing the alarm with ‘R&B’s wake-up call’ earlier this week, R&B veteran Usher has finally lifted the lid on his new single ‘GLU.’

“I just love that glue, ooh / That slides down you whenever we start touchin’ / It gets all on you, all on me from f-ckin’ / That’s when that glue done got you,” he croons on the Avila Brothers-produced number.

First previewed on ‘Valentine’s Day’ (as we reported here), the delectable R&B ballad comes as the first taste of new music Ush’s fans have gotten since 2020’s ‘Bad Habits’ (which topped R&B charts upon its arrival).

Ahead of the arrival of its sensual music video starring socialite extraordinaire Lori Harvey, hear ‘GLU’ in full inside.

Being one of her generation’s most celebrated vocalists, Tori Kelly is no stranger to heavy demand for new music.

But with four years separating music lovers from a traditional studio album of hers, their high anticipation turned into impatience – a state the GRAMMY-winning songbird addressed cryptically in the last months of 2022 before offering a surprise announcement earlier this year about her next musical offering.

Cue ‘Missin U‘: her debut single for new label home Epic Records.

“I miss that feelin’ you would bring / I miss the way that you would make my sidekick bling and bling / I look at my fingers and think about rings / Yeah, we had a good thing,” she coons on the Jon Bellion-produced tune.

Announced March 8 (as we reported here), ‘Missin’ not only marks Tori’s long-awaited return to R&B but also signals the beginning of an edgier era as alluded to by the once-blonde diva’s dark locks.

Ahead of the arrival of its official music video Friday (March 17) at 11am, hop inside to hear ‘Missin’ in full.

After soaring to #1 on the Hot 100 with the Rick James-sampling ‘Super Freaky Girl,’ Rap Queen Nicki Minaj looks poised to repeat the feat thanks to another sample-buoyed bop: ‘Red Ruby Da Sleeze.’

The March 3-released cut, which famously features elements of Lumidee‘s early 2000’s hit ‘Never Leave You (Uh Oh),’ earned praise from the Rap diva’s fans for housing a gritty performance akin to what was found on her early mixtapes.

“Who the f**k told bitches they was me now? / I knew these bitches was slow, I ain’t know these bitches senile / Married a shooter case you ni**as tried to breathe loud,” she spit on the Go Grizzly & Cheeze Beatz-produced track.

Jetting to the top of real-time iTunes sales tallies shortly after its unveiling, the tune’s weeklong domination of digital hitlists not only led it to be the week’s top female Hot 100 debut (among all genres) but ‘Ruby’ also shines with Hip-Hop’s biggest opening of the year so far.
