The National returns with “The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness,” the promo single for its seventh studio album, Sleep Well Beast.
R&B diva Ledisi returns with “High,” her first new single since releasing album THE TRUTH (2014). “High” is both classic and modern.

Miley Cyrus eschews hip-hop (and urban culture) on her new single, “Malibu.” The most shocking thing about “Malibu” is that it’s NOT shocking.

Canadian alternative R&B duo dvsn – Daniel Daley & Nineteen85 – return respectably with single, “Think About Me.”
British boy band The Vamps and Matoma have a hit on their hands with “All Night,” a single from The Vamps’ upcoming album, ‘Night & Day.’

Lil Yachty completely misses the mark on “Bring it Back,” the third single released ahead of his debut album, ‘Teenage Emotions.’
