By: Journey Montana

16 year old rising superstar Journey Montana has released her debut single “Show Your Love“. At such a young age, this songstress has a voice that is simply unforgettable. Her diverse upbringing in Harlem and Los Angeles directly plays out in her original and authentic sound. Having covered hits by SZA, Queen Naija, Jhene Aiko and Summer Walker this release is the perfect record to showcase her raw talent and strong pen game. She may but new, but an amateur she is far from.

On this single you will hear the songstress singing about not liking to be lonely as the one she loves, has taken their love away. Her openness and honesty propel her lyrical prowess to new heights. The most notable lyrics from this song appear in the chorus. You will hear Montana say “you know I can’t be without you, sleep without you feel without you, breathe without you, I can’t be without you babe”. The R&B driven melody is perfect match for this Atlanta native’s fire vocals.

As she is heavily influenced by Aaliyah, Etta James, Whitney Houston, Beyonce, and H.E.R. “Show Me Your Love” is true R&B record. You can really hear the Aaliyah influence in the chorus as she carries a similar cadence as the late singer. At just 16, Journey Montana is ready to take the music industry by storm.

Press play below to stream her debut single “Show Me Your Love“.

All of a sudden it’s Big Sean‘s year for the taking, following a self-care sabbatical and proper return to the microphone with “Overtime.” Now, he brings out the big guns in the form of “Single Again,” which he himself explained:

“For the first time in my life I 100% believe in myself and that’s something I’m so happy I got to achieve in this lifetime. I think at one point I stopped having fun with life and it became a burden. It’s not suppose to feel like that and if it is then change it. I always would find so much joy n happiness in a relationship or being with friends, but I didn’t know how important it was to be in a relationship with yourself. But when you work on yourself and bring your best self to something, I believe that’s truly how to experience a love where you are bringing happiness and joy and not dependency. I’m in a great place though n don’t want to get too deep but I just want to share my journey with y’all…”

Interestingly enough, the track features his ex Jhené Aiko, alongside Ty Dolla $ign…production comes from Cam O’bi, Dee Lilly and Sean himself, and includes a sample of the Carl Thomas classic “I Wish.” Enjoy below and get ready for that forthcoming album (’cause you know it’s on the way).

With “trigger” being the operative word, it would seem as if Aiko’s latest drop — “Triggered (Freestyle)” — continues to reveal just what she’s feeling now that her and Sean aren’t together…and it’s equally powerful and emotionally-charged:

…you muh f***in’ right I’m bitter
You muh f***in’ right I’m triggered, you muh f***in’ right I
Wanna f*** you right now, I just turned the lights out now
And you know when the sun go down, that’s when it would all go down
Been a minute been a while, ain’t let nobody hit it since you hit it
You know you always know what to do with it…

Man. With that said, press play on “Triggered” below.

This is dope: in celebration of her 30th birthday (I think), the lovely Jhené Aiko liberates two new videos for her latest single from TRIP, “Never Call Me.” The first clip for the track (which features West Coast legend Kurupt) sees her taking styles from the Far East (a funeral?) while the second she’s her alongside many of her peers at her Slauson stomping grounds — her siblings (including Mila J), Dom Kennedy, Nipsey Hussle and more make appearances in the latter.

Enjoy both versions below and — if you haven’t already — vibe to TRIP here.
