Although two years have separated fans of John Legend from an official studio album, the wait for a new body of work came to a close Friday (September 9) with the arrival of the EGOT winner’s newest project ‘Legend.’

The first fruit from the singer’s deal with Republic Records (after leaving his label home of 17 years, Columbia), the two-disc affair arrives on digital shelves after support from its critically acclaimed singles ‘Honey’ (featuring Muni Long), ‘Dope’ (featuring JID), and the Saweetie-assisted ‘All She Wanna Do.’

Speaking on the new project, Legend – who is in the middle of the  hotly-selling ‘Love in Las Vegas’ residency at Zappos Theater in Planet Hollywood – revealed:

“Until this point, I’ve never used an aspect of my name as the title of an album. I had to earn that, to live up to it by delivering in the performance and the music. And this is me saying, I’m proud of who I am, I’m confident in the work I’ve done, and I’m just going to declare it.”

Now you can stream the “declaration,” which also features appearances from Rick Ross, Ty Dolla $ign, Jhene Aiko, and more, courtesy of Apple Music and Spotify.  Hear it inside:

Months after it was first reported rising rapstress GloRilla tapped Saweetie to help recharge her summer hit, ‘FNF (Let’s Go)’ (as we reported here), news has surfaced to indicate she’s giving the tune a lifeline with a set of other hit femcees:  JT (of the City Girls) and Latto.

GloRilla’s first charting Hot 100 hit, the original incarnation of the female empowerment anthem peaked at #49 at the height of its popularity due in great part to a viral response on social media.

Now, the Memphis-bred femcee is looking to get ‘Let’s Go’ back to its former glory – and bringing two other Southern beauties along for the ride.

Look inside to hear the contributions of JT and Latto to the hit song’s remix.

Gwen Stefani is waxing candid about the possibility of new music.

The Pop star first found trailblazing fame as part of No Doubt before dominating the music landscape as a soloist in the mid-2000s with bop after smash hit bop.

And then there was a break. A ten-year break, at that, before her third solo album ‘This Is What the Truth Feels Like’ landed. A project that itself followed an abandoned No Doubt reunion.

Praised in some corners, the project didn’t deliver commercially and silence once again defined Stefani’s musical output – or lack thereof.

Last year, it seemed the multihyphenate had re-started her musical engine with singles ‘Let Me Reintroduce Myself’ and ‘Slow Clap (ft. Saweetie_,’ only for there to be no further acceleration when neither song impacted the Billboard Hot 100.

Now, in a new interview, Stefani provides context as to why, as well as her future as an active artist.

David Guetta is no stranger to collaborating with top female rappers over his illustrious career (see: Nicki Minaj, Saweetie, etc.), but now the world-renowned French DJ is using his ‘Trampoline’ to get clubs bouncing with assistance from Hip Hop legend Missy Elliott and relative newcomers BIA and Doechii.

And, as if the trio of femcees weren’t enough to take ‘Trampoline’ to energetic heights, production on the cut comes as a reunion of Guetta and Dutch DJ Afrojack (who are sharing a GRAMMY nod for their 2021 hit song ‘Hero’).

“It was amazing as always working with David on ‘Trampoline,’” Afrojack said in statement. “The last hip-hop song we did together was ‘Hey Mama’ and it was an insane success. I’m very honored David asked me to come help him with this beat, it was a lot of fun.”

A must-hear party starter, look inside to hear the quintet’s commands for you to report to the dance floor!
