When you’ve created as many memorable R&B gems as Tank over the last 25 years, sometimes the best way forward is going backward.

The 45-year-old – who has made no bones about his commitment to the genre over the last few years – takes that dedication a step further in the hilarious music video for his new single, ‘I Deserve.’ 

A nod to his first Hot 100 top 40 hit as a performer, 2000’s ‘Maybe I Deserve,’ the new clip – which features cameos from actors/social media influencers Adam Waheed and Juhahn Jones – sees Tank tribute the tropes and themes found commonly in 90’s R&B music videos as a way to call for their return.

Camila Cabello has made no secret that her anxiously awaited third studio album, ‘Familia,’ will see her explore her Cuban roots as it will be designed and lined with Latin-infused sounds.

Having already served a taste of that agenda with the project’s hit lead single, ‘Don’t Go Yet,’ she’s continuing down the musical path with the tune’s successor – the Myke Towers and Tainy-assisted ‘Oh Na Na.’

“Feelin’ kinda mighty, ya, ya, ya / Go ahead and bite me, rah, rah, rah / Rum and cola to take you over, na, na, na / Tell me that you want this “La, la, la” / Love it when you talk that, blah-blah-blah / Time is tickin’, I’m waitin,” she sings on the bilingual track.

After thrilling with his Valentine’s Day single, ‘Luxury Love,‘ GRAMMY-nominated R&B crooner Mario kept a low profile over most of the year as he reportedly put the finishing touches on his highly anticipated, yet-titled sixth studio album (the follow-up to 2018’s ‘Dancing Shadows’).

The latest taste of music expected to line the forthcoming project is the Chris Brown-assisted, ‘Get Back.’  A bedroom-ready bop, the song sees the R&B duo trade verses about longing to reunite with a distant lover.

“Gotta get back to your body (your body, babe) / When I close my eyes I feel you wrapped around me (I need it, need it) / Gotta get back to your body, yeah (oh)  Girl, you’re flawless like the diamonds…,” they sing on the mid-tempo tune.

Jada Pinkett Smith believes it’s a low down dirty shame how her words regarding her sex life with Academy Award-nominated husband Will Smith have been twisted to vilify her.

As fans of her EMMY-winning Facebook Watch series, ‘Red Table Talk,’ know, the 50-year-old dished with her Academy Award-winning friend Gwyneth Paltrow about the challenges of maintaining a long-term marriage – especially related to the bedroom.

“The thing Will and I talk about a lot is the journey. We started in this at a very young age, 22 years old… I think you expect your partner to know [what you need], especially when it comes to sex,” she said. “It’s like, ‘Well, if you love me, you should know. If you love me, you should read my mind.’ That’s a huge pitfall.”

After viewers took to social media in droves to slam Pinkett-Smith for what many are calling ‘yet another attempt to embarrass Will’ (following last year’s “entanglement” scandal), she’s taken to Twitter to clap back.  See it inside:
