Sevyn Streeter is back and, like the runners in Rio, is ready to sprint with new single ‘Prolly.’

The newly announced cut arrives a year after the singer released EP ‘Shoulda Been There, Pt. 1’ – which spurned fan favorite ‘Don’t Kill The Fun.’

It’s been an interesting ride for Streeter, whose debut album ‘On The Verge’ has been “coming soon” ever since breakout hit ‘It Won’t Stop (ft. Chris Brown)’ was unleashed back in 2013.

Could the long-awaited project finally be near? We sure hope so.

Pending a definitive answer, listen to a preview of ‘Prolly’ below…

It’ll take more than unfavourable reviews to sink ‘Suicide Squad’s box office ship.

Slapped, kicked and punched by critics, the movie’s cast undoubtedly spent most of its opening weekend and ducking from and dodging claims that it did not live up to its hype.

Fortunately, even if that is true, its numbers tell a very different story.

Keri Hilson is on the comeback trail.

Six years have passed since the singer-songwriter released her sophomore album ‘No Boys Allowed,’ which spurned the hit ‘Pretty Girl Rock.’

In the time after, Hilson has been noticeably missing from the music scene – with little explanation as to why. Although, many have cited a romantic relationship when answering the questions surrounding her whereabouts.

Oddly, the start of the year saw a press release surface touting the star’s return. However, she quickly debunked the claims, while confirming the legitimacy of the tracks named. She also confirmed the statement’s claim that the LP is titled ‘L.I.A.R’ – an acronym for ‘love is a religion.’

Confused? So were we.

Still, we’re eager to hear what Miss Keri Baby has been cooking up. And it seems like the wait won’t be much longer.

Though far from the most active act on social media, the Atlanta native has taken a liking to SnapChat where she has been sharing snippets of new music.

Want to hear what Keri has been baking in the lab?

Despite landing the first #1 run of her solo career atop the Billboard 200 with her latest album ‘This Is What the Truth Feels Like,’ Gwen Stefani‘s failed to make music lovers feel the singles launched from set.

After missing the top 50 on the Hot 100 twice with lead singles ‘Used To Love You’ and ‘Make Me Like You’ respectively, Stefani may finally be onto a homerun with ‘Truth’s third single ‘Misery.’  Putting her best foot forward with the song’s glossy video, an ode to the golden era of Hollywood, the stunning 46-year-old just may prove the third time’s the charm.

Teasing the video aplenty before its May 31st release, tuck in below for your first glimpse of the clip and weigh in:
