“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.
