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.
Louisville rapper and singer Bryson Tiller returns strong on “Somethin Tells Me,” the promo single from his sophomore album, ‘True to Self.’
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.’
Chris Brown continues to exhibit complacency on single, “Privacy.” “Privacy” comes off as incredibly shallow, lacking any sense of progression artistically.
Lil Yachty completely misses the mark on “Bring it Back,” the third single released ahead of his debut album, ‘Teenage Emotions.’

Grammy-winning collective Paramore returns with “Told You So,” the second single from their fifth studio album, After Laughter.
“Slow Hands” is a step up from “This Town,” But Niall Horan could stand to take even more risks artistically.
