It is no secret that R&B has had a major comeback in recent times (not that it was ever really away for that prolonged a period of time) and we are all here to enjoy it. As much as this is pleasing news for R&B fans across the globe, it is also a positive indication that DVSN has opened the floodgates again. We are looking forward to being able to share even more dope music with you as a result of this. We are only a few months away from Christmas, but the singers offer us an aural pleasure package that is much needed given the nearness of the holiday season. There is no doubt that you have been put on the spot so far, but it doesn’t matter what you do – we all fall short from time to time in life, and we all have our own reasons for doing so. The time is right for you to become a part of this party, and now is the ideal time to do so. This morning (Oct. 28), the duo is releasing their highly anticipated full-length album, “Working On My Karma“.
A fitting way to close out October is with a release like Working On My Karma. This is indeed some of their most impressive work to date and what a way to end the month of October. DVSN recently spoke to Complex magazine about the concept of the album. As a result, the song will cover many different emotions that will inspire a journey of growth for the listener. “It is said that honour comes before power,” said Daniel Daley, one half of the DVSN group, who said that pride precedes a fall. “In addition, there’s compassion and remorse, growth and reflection, but most importantly, you need to take a long, frank, honest look at yourself in the mirror, don’t you think? Perhaps it could be as simple as getting lost for a moment and attempting to self-medicate through some other, less desirable method. Maybe I am stepping out and I am just trying to have sex because I already screwed up. This album will take you to all the different areas that this kind of stuff can take you in. We are trying to cover the different aspects of how that works. In terms of growth, this should be at least the beginning, if there is anything that needs to be done for it to happen.
‘Girls Night Out,’ Babyface’s highly anticipated album, will be released on Oct. 21. There will be vocal contributions from some of today’s most prominent women in R&B, such as Queen Naija, Ella Mai, Doechii, Ari Lennox, Kehlani, and many others. There will be a co-producer of the show, Babyface and Rika Tischendorf, as well as many strong previews including “Seamless” performed by Kehlani and “Keeps On Fallin” with Ella Mai.
With a brand new single today (Sept. 16), Babyface continues to roll out new music from the project, this time with the song “Game Over” in collaboration with Queen Naija. A man is trying to deceive the songstress according to her lyrics on the track:
In addition to revealing the official cover art for Girl’s Night Out, Babyface has also been releasing sneak peeks at the album’s content. In order to come up with the vibrant design, he recruited Ricky (Rico) Heeraman, a highly regarded, self-taught modern artist. Born in the Bronx, Heeraman uses geometry to separate his pieces of art and find inspiration in urban graffiti art.
Chris Brown is slated to unveil his highly anticipated album Breezy on June 24. R&B veteran Chris Brown recently gave fans a few new previews from his forthcoming album, including “Wheels Fall Off” and “Call Me Everyday” with Wizkid. Brown is back with his latest music video for “WE (Warm Embrace),” a Don City-produced track originally released in April. As he dances the night away with Normani, Brown introduces Normani as his love interest in the video:
Brown recently spoke with Big Boy about Breezy for Big BoyTV and revealed that he had recorded more than 250 tracks for the album. Brown said, “I have so many tracks. According to Brown, I had almost 250 songs for the actual project. “Yes, I was thinking, We need to scale it down and figure out what we can do.”
Earlier this year, Chris Brown released his last solo album, Indigo. It featured 33 cuts and collaborations with artists such as Lil Jon, H.E.R., Juvenile, Tyga, Juicy J, Nicki Minaj, Drake, G-Eazy, Justin Bieber, Gunna, and more. Following the release of Indigo, Brown returned with an extended edition featuring an additional 10 tracks and contributions from Davido, Rich The Kid, and DaniLeigh. This critically acclaimed and commercially successful album topped the Billboard 200 and reached Platinum status thanks to 108,000 first-week equivalent albums sold.
This continues to be a beautiful blossoming scene for the R&B scene, and artists like Ella Mai are a huge part of that. Throughout her second album, Ella Mai opens up to her listeners and shares the depths of her soul. This time around, the London-born R&B singer embarks on a personal journey, giving us insight into what her mind is like than ever before. Her new album Heart On My Sleeve comes out today, May 6. There are many differences between this album and Mai’s impressive self-titled debut album, which was released in 2018. That album went double platinum in the US and was a big hit. Boo’d Up, the album’s chart-topping lead-single, garnered a Grammy award for best pop song.
Despite the passage of time since her debut album was released, Ella Mai has an air of maturity and transparency as she embarks upon her new phase. She could only reach this viewpoint by fully embracing all of love’s challenges and completely embracing who she was as a woman. Having downloaded her debut album over 2.5 million times, the singer entered the next phase of her career knowing people all around the world were eagerly anticipating her second release.
Thanks to the generosity of her label, Ella Mai was given the time and space to work at her own pace. With quite a bit of freedom over her creative process, Ella Mai began to think about exactly what she wanted to express. “Everything that could possibly come to mind was going through my head,” she says about the process. The tour of 2019 had kept me out of the studio for a while because I had been touring all year. Thus, when I started recording the alalbum, I had to reconnect to with the studio again.”
During his artistic journey, R&B singer-songwriter Devvon Terrell reflects on the impact of the irreplaceable contributions made by his family through his latest project, Boys Don’t Cry. Among the tracks on that newly released collection are guest appearances by That Kidd Vee and Kai Ca$h, as well 11 tracks produced by fellow artist, L. JEAN. Terrell’s new single Boys Don’t Cry was accompanied by the video for the title track, which featured a powerful performance of emotional expression as Terrell coped with some challenging life circumstances:
“Boys Don’t Cry is an album I composed in remembrance of my grandfather and family,” Terrell explained. Detailed recollections of my childhood and the village where I spent my childhood. In this album you are able to learn more about how the ideologies and belief systems I have grown to believe in were formed and cultivated.”
Before the album was released, there were a lot of consistent singles including “Popular,” uplifting “Let It Go,” emotionally vulnerable “Flowers Freestyle,” as well as the upbeat “Better” with Kai Ca$h. In addition to his solo material, Brooklyn-born JQ has contributed verses to tracks such as “FMX” by Mike Classic and Kevin AntoniYo, along with “3 AM” by Larry Ohh, KyE Nathaniel, and Biawanna. 2020’s Vol. 2: Deja Vu.was Terrell’s last full-length work.
