Rapper Kodak Black drops a respectable trap banger with “Before I Go,” assisted by fellow rapper/singer Rod Wave.

Machine Gun Kelly brings ample energy and keeps it punk with respectable success on “papercuts,” but lacks innovative spirit.

“INFERNO” is a glorious, worthwhile, and ear-catching two-and-a-quarter minutes courtesy of Sub Urban and Bella Poarch.

Elton John, Dua Lipa, and PNAU gives us the groovy dance-pop bop that we didn’t even know we needed with “Cold Heart – PNAU Remix.”

Anthony Hamilton continues to a career-long flex on “Love is the New Black,” the soulful title track from his first album in five years.

Lizzo, assisted by Cardi B, shines on her first single of 2021, “Rumors.” Both ladies flip the bird to critics and haters and it’s awesome.

Although a tall task, Jennifer Hudson does a fantastic job of capturing the essence of Aretha Franklin on the Respect soundtrack.
