Stormzy has unlocked ‘Firebabe’ – the latest single from his forthcoming album ‘This Is What I Mean.’

The British Rap royal premiered the track alongside its accompanying music video, which was directed by  Edem Wornoo.

Piercing and potent, ‘Firebabe’ – which follows lead single ‘Hide & Seek’ – finds the MC bearing his emotions in earnest.

Speaking on the song (which was produced by George Moore and features additional vocals by Stormzy’s 0207 Def Jam labelmate Debbie, Sampha, and Jacob Collier), the star said:

“Debbie, George [Moore] and I got in the studio together and it was the most beautiful moment. It was a session I’ll never forget, for the rest of my life. It was extremely special and everyone in the room understood that. We were making something that hopefully, God willing, lives forever. Something that has soul and feeling and it came from a really pure place. We took a truth and made some art from it.”

Chris Brown‘s sleeper hit, ‘Under the Influence,’ continues to awaken renewed interest from the masses thanks to an impressive response at R&B radio and social media.

Originally found aboard his 2019 chart-topping album, ‘Indigo,’ ‘Influence’ didn’t truly begin gaining steam until users at TikTok took it to viral status – a feat that led it to top real-time sales tallies around the world.

Stateside, the song helped Chris make history by making him the first R&B singer to nap over 50 top 40 hits.  And, if peruse of the updated Billboard Hot 100 is anything to judge by, the tune’s victory lap is far from over.

Whitney Houston‘s star is one that shone like no other and continues to radiate a decade after her untimely passing.

Fittingly, then, her story is set for the big-screen-biopic treatment by way of ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody.’

Set to hit theaters worldwide next month, the movie sets out to serve as the most seismic and definitive take on the diva’s story.

Directed by Kasi Lemons, ‘I Wanna Dance’ is penned and produced by Anthony McCarten – who helmed Oscar winner ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ (the blockbuster biopic about Queen). It notably serves as the only film production on Houston’s life to be released in partnership with the songbird’s Estate and longtime collaborator Clive Davis onboard. A move that will see the flick feature original recordings of the icon’s music too.

With buzz aplenty surrounding the project, Sony Pictures has unwrapped an extended trailer  – showcasing lead Naomi Ackie as Houston and the lifelong span the ‘I Wanna Dance’ will dive into.
