Lil Baby, Sum 2 Prove | Track Review

Lil Baby is true to self, delivering an enjoyable single with “Sum 2 Prove” that doesn’t expand his craft or ascend to the next level.

Grammy-nominated R&B artist Luke James makes sex sound quite poetic on “Blow,” his first single of the new decade, 2020.

Khalid returns with a pleasant urban contemporary single in “Eleven,” but offers nothing groundbreaking or brand-new.

On “You should be sad,” the country/folk-flavored, sixth advance single from MANIC, Halsey is filled with scorn – mad as hell.

Future, assisted by his buddy, Drake, are so-so at best on their first collaboration of the new decade, “Life is Good.”

Grammy-winning R&B singer/songwriter John Legend returns with his first single of the new decade, the elite “Conversations in the Dark.”

Rising pop star Conan Gray shines on “The Story,” the thoughtful promo single from his highly anticipated debut album, KID KROW.

Grammy-winning R&B singer/songwriter Alicia Keys drops an empowering, inspirational, and uplifting first single of 2020 with “Underdog.”

“Good News,” the promo single from the posthumous Mac Miller album, Circles, is well-produced, well-written, and hauntingly performed.

Yung Scuff & Jakkyboí continue to propel the emo-/punk-tinged hip-hop movement with their short, but sweet banger, “U DO U.”

London-based, alt-pop duo Oh Wonder drops a certified pop bop with “Happy,” the 4th single from 3rd album, No One Else Can Wear Your Crown.

Following the chilled-out bop “Over It,” melodic rapper Yung Pinch shines once more on “Beach Ballin’,” featuring blackbear.
