Ayra Starr bulldozed global barriers with her breakout hit ‘Bloody Samaritan.’

And the hard-hitting jam is proving to be the gift that keeps giving. For, GRAMMY-winning superstar Kelly Rowland has on-boarded the track for a special remix.

Lifted from the forthcoming deluxe edition of Starr’s debut album ’19 & Dangerous’ (due October 14), the refreshed take on the track sees the newcomer and the veteran blend their butter-smooth vocals with delicious results.

Speaking on the release (which follows recent single ‘Rush’), Starr said:

“I’ve always been a huge fan of Kelly Rowland and when this came up, I could barely keep in the excitement! While recording this, Kelly made me feel so comfortable and relaxed, something I really appreciate. She was super amazing and I was able to hold my own alongside a legend and I can’t wait to share this new music with you all!”

Megan Thee Stallion‘s ‘Cash Sh*t’ collaborator DaBaby is cashing in on the copious press he received over the weekend thanks to the release of his latest album, ‘Baby on Baby 2,’ and its housed single ‘Boogeyman’ which contains lyrics alleging he slept with the GRAMMY winner the day before she was allegedly shot by fellow rapper Tory Lanez.

And while Meg has yet to officially respond to the claim, DaBaby (born Jonathan Kirk) continues to press the issue by unveiling the official music video to the tune.

Featuring a Stallion lookalike, the horror music video – which opens with a disclaimer that spoofs that of Michael Jackson‘s ‘Thriller’ – seemingly pays homage to ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ and sees its star portray a Freddy Krueger-esque character.

Directed by Kirk’s longtime collaborator Reel Goats, look inside to see the rapper’s killer clip.

Just weeks after watching their duet, ‘Hold Me Closer,’ enter the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10 to historic measure, Elton John and Britney Spears have finally unleashed the official music video for the tune.

Shot in Mexico City, the Tanu Muino-directed visual is laden with choreography – but not from Britney as she nor Elton appear in the clip.  A compilation of stunning and colorful visuals, the pace of the visual’s vibrant dancers is only matched by the city’s scenery.

Speaking on the magical experience, Muino said:

“Going into this video, I knew there would be a lot of emotional expectations the audience and fans would have. With this responsibility, I had to do something different and unexpected. The visuals had to be different. The dance had to be forward-thinking to raise eyebrows and make Elton and Britney proud. To capture this magic, we shot around all my favorite architectural locations in Mexico City and brough ton choreographer Jacob Jonas who does the best contemporary choreography today. Getting the best dancers, crew, and access to some of the most private locations in the world was simple as everyone wanted to work with Elton John and be part of his legacy.”
