Usher, Lil Jon & Ludacris, SexBeat | Track Review 🎵

Usher, Lil Jon, and Ludacris reunite, 16 years after “Yeah!” with a ‘bang’ on the sensual R&B smash, “SexBeat.”

Although “Murder Most Foul” is well-written and thoughtfully conceived, the Bob Dylan record is ambitious in length, nearing 17 minutes.

Both Tyga and Curtis Roach were bored, so they decided to make us all less bored with the minimalist, COVID-19 banger, “Bored in the House.”

While he doesn’t ‘move the needle’ in the least on “Tycoon,” Grammy-winning rapper Future continues to flex like a boss.

Lindsay Lohan makes her pop comeback with “Back to Me” and surprisingly, the result actually is NOT terrible.

Country artist Thomas Rhett, alongside a star-studded group of musicians, uplifts with the COVID-19 relief single, “Be a Light.”

Isaac Dunbar, exploring identity and stereotypes, opts against conformity, embracing individuality on “comme des garçons (like the boys).”

The 1975, assisted by Phoebe Bridgers highlight Christianity and sexuality add odds on the thoughtful “Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America.”

Pop sensation Troye Sivan returns with fierceness, slaying on his first single of 2020, the certified bop, “Take Yourself Home.”

DaBaby continues to ‘ride the wave’ on “Find My Way,” his short but moderately entertaining second single of 2020.

While “Toosie Slide” is tailor made to be the next trending rap and dance song, Drake doesn’t end up delivering a game changing single.

Nearly 7 years after their previous album, Lightning Bolt, grunge rock darlings Pearl Jam make a strong comeback on their 11th album, Gigaton.
