4 years after the release of her last album, Mariah Carey is back at it again with a new single off her upcoming NEW album! Dubbed "Thirsty", the hip-hop-heavy track enlists the help of rapper-Rich Homie Quan. Take a listen below:
Mariah Carey's new album, "Me. I Am Mariah", is due out on May 27th.
There's no discussion: Chromeo is pure fun. Made up of singer/guitarist Dave 1 and synth guru P-Thugg, their unique recipe for funk-revival has kept them going strong since 2004. However, Chromeo's newest single, "Jealous (I Ain't With It)", suggests a shift in mentality for the duo. While the funk influence remains, the song is clearly more of a synth-pop tune:
So, why the change? Is this a one-time deal, or is this a new, pop-oriented chapter in the Chromeo saga? Like most artists fighting their way into the mainstream, they may simply be trying to appeal to a larger audience. Many artists try to make this move, often losing the personality of their music in the process. This doesn't seem to be the case for these funkateers. Though the sound may be different, that distinct Chromeo charm remains. Chromeo is currently on tour, and their new album drops May 12th.

Ariana Grande's highly anticipated new single, "Problem" (feat. Iggy Azalea), was just dropped on iTunes! After listening to it multiple times, the only question I'm left with is, "When will Ariana and Iggy team up again"?

The "Baby I" singer is also teaming up with Chris Brown for another single, "Don't Be Gone Too Long". The release of the song was delayed earlier this month due to Brown's legal troubles, but the below video (featuring a preview of the song) surfaced on his Vimeo account earlier this week.

Rarely does an artist catch our eye like Hollywood Records’ Zendaya has. At the age of only 17, the teen-star has done more than anyone her age could even begin to dream of. She was the star in a major Disney Channel hit show, Shake It Up, was a finalist in the ABC Primetime show Dancing With The Stars, and has already embarked on an extremely promising music career.
Zendaya’s debut single “Replay” was released in July, 2013. The song instantly went into the Top 40, and was pushed to radio stations across the country. “Replay” even went RIAA Certified Platinum in January, 2014.

Zendaya’s debut album “Zendaya” was released in September of that year, and was well-received by critics and fans worldwide. Many times when an artist releases their first album, you see many things that are wrong or need to be improved; not the case with “Zendaya.” Splattered with dance-pop anthems like “Replay” and “Fireflies,” her self-titled album also has smooth and catchy songs like “Bottle You Up” and “Love You Forever”. Zendaya also proves she isn’t only about pop with the hip-hop track “My Baby.”
Another note about Zendaya: her voice is absolutely incredible. There’s been an abundance of stars in the industry with decent voices, but her's is unparalleled. Her voice may sound processed in some of the her recorded tracks, but listening to the acoustic versions, it’s obvious that she actually does have an amazing voice, no processing required.
We can only hope Zendaya is working on her second album and will go out on tour soon!
