Phony Ppl, Fkn Around | Track Review 🎵

Eclectic five-man band Phony Ppl returns with its first new single of 2020, the infectious “Fkn Around,” featuring Megan Thee Stallion.

Grammy-nominated R&B singer Lucky Daye drops an enjoyable, well-rounded single in “Fade Away,” from the film, The Photograph.

On his brilliant sophomore album, Dreaming of David, Ryan Beatty is more ambitious, while maintaining incredible authenticity.

Cheat Codes assemble a surefire bop with “No Service in the Hills,” featuring Trippie Redd, blackbear & PRINCE$$ ROSIE.

Taylor Swift is politically and socially ‘woke’ on single “Only the Young,” which is featured in her Netflix documentary, Miss Americana.

Grammy-winning R&B artist H.E.R. shines on the soulful, thoughtful, new single (her first of 2020), “Sometimes.”

Up and coming artist contradash delivers an intriguing single exploring heartbreak with “blocked,” the follow-up to his debut single, “yo-yo.”

Rising pop singer Madison Beer exhibits strong vocals and awesome personality on her first single of 2020, “Good in Goodbye.”

Rising queer pop artist Gia Woods shines on her short, sweet, and sassy bop, “HUNGRY.” Safe to say, she’s “not hungry, b*tch.”

With his first solo single of 2020, A Boogie wit da Hoodie proclaims himself “King of My City,” playing up clichés rather being innovative.

After the underwhelming “Yummy,” Justin Bieber taps Kehlani for the sensual, urban-pop single, “Get Me.” It’s respectable, not game changing.

Hayley Williams, best known as the front woman of Paramore, delivers a compelling solo debut single with “Simmer.”
