Camila Cabello meets ‘Meet Me At Our Spot’ singer Willow at the intersection of crazy, sexy, and cool on the new song ‘Psychofreak.’

Found aboard the former’s long-awaited third studio album ‘Familia’ (click here to stream), the odd pairing works in many ways most wouldn’t have anticipated as the two trade verses about how their lovers should expect the unexpected in- and outside of the bedroom.

“Feelin’ like a psychofreak sometimes / Tryna get connected, no Wi-Fi / Tell me that you love me, are you lying? / Give me lemonade, I give you limes,” the GRAMMY nominee sings over the Ricky Reed-produced track.

20 sizzling tracks line ‘Trendsetter’ – the anxiously awaited debut album of rising rapstress Coi Leray.

Preceded by the warmly received ‘Big Purr,’ ‘No More Parties,’ and ‘Twinnem,’ ‘Trendsetter’ is most notably packed with a star-studded guest list that includes the likes of H.E.R., Yung Bleu, Fivio Foreign, Young M.A., Chief Keef, Polo G, G Herbo, and more.

Arriving on shelves just a week after Leray’s Nicki Minaj-assisted ‘Blick Blick’ became the second song of her career to impact the Billboard Hot 100’s top 40, the 24-year-old is undoubtedly hoping more of the album’s offerings follow the trajectory of ‘Blick.’
