Calvin Harris, Slide | Track Review 🎵

Former teen-pop heartthrob Aaron Carter returns with five-song EP, LøVë, his first set of new music following a 15-year hiatus.

R&B diva Mariah Carey gets an unlikely assist from West Coast rapper YG on her new breakup anthem, “I Don’t.”

Alex Aiono is ready for primetime with his major label debut single, “Work the Middle.” He’s a potential superstar.

On debut EP The Last Text, Jacob Sartorius embraces the bag of modern pop tricks but falls short of proving legitimacy as an artist.

Aaron Carter returns with “Sooner or Later,” a single from his forthcoming EP, LøVë.

YouTube Personality and up-and-coming musician Bryan Lanning drops single “Idaho” from his highly anticipated debut album, ‘Us.’

Halsey returns with a new single, “Not Afraid Anymore,” the second single from the Fifty Shades Darker motion picture soundtrack.

The Chainsmokers return in 2017 with another likely hit single, “Paris.” “Paris” is enjoyable, but not particularly game changing.
