Nearly 10 years after soaring into the top 20 of the R&B charts with their 2013 joint effort ‘Beat It,’ singer-rappers Sean Kingston and Chris Brown are reuniting with even higher Billboard heights in their sights.

Their new tune ‘Ocean Drive,’ found aboard the former’s forthcoming album ‘Deliverance,’ comes as an Island-inspired, summertime jam that sees the two toast to Miami while trading verses about trying to woo a romantic interest.

“Ride down ocean drive, No I’m not what you used to / But I’m someone you gon’ like girl I Could see you / Been choose some things let’s take a ride / In a drop top swtichin’ four lanes,” Sean sings at the top of the song.

Buoyed by a prominent sample of Eugene Wilde‘s 1984 classic ‘Gotta Get You Home Tonight,’ hop inside to hear ‘Ocean Drive’ in full.

A week ahead of the one-year anniversary of her sophomore studio album, ‘Happier Than Ever,’ Academy and GRAMMY Award-winning singer Billie Eilish has undoubtedly made her fans happier than ever by springing a surprise of new music.

Unexpected unveiling new tunes “TV” and “The 30th” on Thursday afternoon (July 21), Eilish christened the collection ‘Guitar Songs’ and took to Instagram to accompany their release with a sweet message.

“a little surprise for youuuuuuuu……,” she wrote in her announcement on IG. “these songs mean so so much to me. i am so happy for them to be yours.”

While the former describes what the 20-year-old calls an “indescribable experience” and details the aftermath of learning a loved one was in an accident, the politically-leaning “TV” is better known to Eilish lovers as she’s been performing the song at her European concerts this summer.
