Nearly two years after watching his third studio album, ‘Anniversary,’ become his third top 5 hit on the Billboard 200, Bryson Tiller continues to tease its follow-up, ‘Serenity.’

While no official release date is attached to the highly anticipated project yet, it’s slated for a fall release.  To tide them over until official news drops, Tiller is giving his diehard fans yet another taste of the sounds that can be expected from the LP.

The newest, as we reported here, comes via The Vinlyz-produced track ‘Outside.’  Featuring a prominent sample of the Ying Yang Twins’ 2005 hit ‘Wait (The Whisper Song),’ Bryson’s summery bop sees him spitting some serious game to a love interest.

“Hate to be your ex, know that n*gga feel stupid / Thumbin’ through the ‘Gram, tryna figure out where you been / All he need to know is that you’re outside / Watchin’ real time while you’re too live / Easily adjusted to your new life,” he croons on the new cut.

Ahead of the release of its official music video, look inside to hear ‘Outside.’

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.
