Up-and-coming R&B singer Kehlani takes a page out of the Rihanna textbook with one ‘crazy’ single, fittingly titled “CRZY.”

Justin Bieber is polarizing. Polarizing is a fitting characterization given the reactions he receives. We're going to break down Bieber's pros and cons!

Major Lazer drops catchy new single “Cold Water” featuring pop heartthrob Justin Bieber and Danish pop singer MØ.

Chi-Town rapper Lupe Fiasco aims for pop success once again on single “Pick up the Phone” (featuring Eric Turner), though ultimately falls short.

This playlist features 35 profane songs that feature the f-bomb in their title. All song selected were released in 2010 and beyond.

Distinctly versatile New Orleans soul legend Aaron Neville returns with his best and most enjoyable album in years, ‘Apache.’

These five contemporary gospel songs clearly honor God, but have wider appeal to a secular audience compared to their contemporaries.

Miranda Lambert returns with ballad “Vice,” clearly a departure from the country artist’s feistier and more ferocious offerings.

Florida Georgia Line returns with single, “May We All” featuring country veteran Tim McGraw. Respectable, “May We All” lacks the same magic of “H.O.L.Y.”

Good Charlotte delivers an enjoyable, well-rounded comeback effort with 'Youth Authority', its first album in nearly six years.

Ghostbusters (2016 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is very much a soundtrack – it has some moments and it also has some flaws.

ZAPPER and DATGIRL collaborate to create an eccentric, ambitious, politically-charged song and music video, “Bang Bang, B*tches!”

All in all, Chicago rapper/singer Dreezy shows immense potential throughout the course of her debut album No Hard Feelings.

French Montana delivers a banger with “No Shopping.” Problem is, He’s too selfless, allowing Drake to take over the spotlight.

Up-and-coming contemporary R&B/pop artist Tinashe drops a good record with “Superlove,” though arguably it’s not enough to elevate her superstardom.

Ah, the fourth shopping week in July! Unfortunately, it’s hard to justify an exclamation mark for the new albums arriving Friday, July 22. None stand out.

Katy Perry returns respectably after a three-year hiatus with Olympic single, “Rise,” which doesn’t supplant her best work.

Despite being past his lucrative peak, Snoop Dogg continues to be prolific, delivering another consistent and enjoyable offering with latest LP ‘Coolaid.’

Michael Kiwanuka assembles a superb effort with sophomore LP Love & Hate. The singing, songwriting, and production are top-notch.

Grouplove’s latest single may hail from a forthcoming album entitled ‘Big Mess’ but “Welcome to Your Life” is the furthest thing from a mess.

Alternative musician Banks drops a bomb (an f-bomb specifically) with electrifying, explicitly honest single, “F*ck With Myself.”

Britney Spears’ latest single “Make Me” is easily a cut above her previous single, the mediocre “Pretty Girls” featuring Iggy Azalea.

Flume flexes his tremendous musicianship and production skills on well-rounded, eclectic sophomore LP, SKIN.

West Coast rapper Schoolboy Q delivers a dark and intriguing effort on his highly anticipated fourth album, ‘Blank Face LP.’

John Newman has some nice ideas happening during “Olé.” That said, the single isn’t nearly as electrifying as “Love Me Again” or “Losing Sleep.”

Jidenna follows up "Classic Man" with "Little Bit More." “Little Bit More” has some of the underpinnings of a hit, it's lukewarm at best.

Friday, July 15 is a relatively quiet date for new albums. Two new efforts stand out: Good Charlotte (Youth Authority) and Dreezy (No Hard Feelings).
