Katy Perry continues to search for momentum leading into her 5th LP, Witness. Unfortunately, “Swish Swish,” Ft. Nicki Minaj, falls short.

Ex Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello releases her debut solo single, “Crying in the Club.” While respectable, the single ultimately underwhelms.

Liam Payne joins the One Direction solo movement with his sexy debut single, “Strip That Down,” featuring Quavo of Migos.

Selena Gomez returns with a polarizing new single, “Bad Liar.” It has both its flaws and its moments.

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.

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.’

“Slow Hands” is a step up from “This Town,” But Niall Horan could stand to take even more risks artistically.

Following his sexy debut single “PARiS,” Cleveland-bred musician JOEY-A returns with a second, equally sexy single, “JUiCE.”

Harry Styles returns with a second single, “Sweet Creature,” ahead of his debut album, ‘Harry Styles.’ “Sweet Creature” falls short of “Sign of the Times.”

Katy Perry falls short of her typical glory on her sensual, second single, “Bon Appétit.” Despite being assisted by Migos, “Bon Appétit” lacks relevance.

Up-and-coming pop artist and YouTube personality Alex Aiono returns with a second single, “Question,” from his forthcoming project.

Shawn Mendes returns with “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back,” a new addition to 2017 editions of his sophomore album, ‘Illuminate.’
