Sofía Valdés – “Handful of Water”

Panamanian singer/songwriter Sofía Valdés shares her roots and culture in a new lyric video for her soulful track, “Handful of Water.” The clip features beautiful footage from her native Panama as the rising songstress inspires with her soothing and passion-filled lyrics.

A 20-year-old singer/songwriter born and bred in Panama, Sofía Valdés creates the kind of emotionally honest and beautifully original pop music that could only come from years of exploration. After learning to play guitar at the age of eight and writing her first song at 13, the independent-minded artist sharpened her craft in part by building an eclectic sonic vocabulary informed by everything from folk and bossa nova to ’60s Motown and ’70s soul. On her debut EP Ventura, coming early next year, Valdés alchemizes those inspirations into a sound all her own, gracing each track with her indelible songwriting and beguiling voice.

Kaash Paige – Problems Feat. Isaiah Rashad

R&B newcomer Kaash Paige unwraps a visual for her song, “Problems,” featuring Isaiah Rashad. Lifted from the rising songstress’ debut full-length studio album, Teenage Fever, the video blends homemade footage with shots of Kaash and the wordsmith rapper in the studio.

The 19-year-old Def Jam signee began her journey to stardom with the project, ‘Parked Car Convos.’ The set is headed by the well-received single, “Love Songs,” which garnered success as the #1 song on Spotify’s Global Viral Chart, surpassing over 725 million streams, #2 on the US Viral Chart, and over 6.3 million views as the newest Spotlight Artist at YouTube, which named her Trending Artist On The Rise. 

Kaash – acronym for Kill All Arrogance Stop Hatred – has succeeded in galvanizing her local Lone Star fans with her homegrown sense of self, and is now well on her way to stardom.

Kiana Lede and Jacquees Heat Up The Bedroom With “Only Fan”

“I swear that pu**y is so good I might have to subscribe,” Jacquees proclaims as he kicks off Kiana Ledé’s latest eargasmic release, “Only Fan.” On the raw and sensual offering, both collaborators commit to being each other’s only fan, unlike the subscription service that requires many people to make money. It’s a sexed-fueled and intoxicating duet that’s just right for cuffing season.

“You give me feels, swear I might just / Fuck around and get lost in you,” Jacquees declares, while Kiki adds, “You gon’ fuck around and get lost in me every time.”

“Only Fan” is lifted from the deluxe version of Kiana’s critically acclaimed debut album, KIKI. The newly released deluxe offering also features collaborations with Ari Lennox on a remix of the original offering “Chocolate” and Ant Clemons.

The new additions flesh out the Phoenix-born and Los Angeles-based singer’s textured melodies while highlighting her seductive side.

The original album reached in the Top 5 of the Billboard Top R&B Albums Chart. The project sees her revealing every side of herself: the vulnerability, the vitality, the anger, the lust, the loyalty, the joy, the darkness, and the truth as exhibited in the songs.

Kiana, who is responsible for bangers such as the gold-certified “EX,” “Fairplay,” and “Bouncin'” [feat. Offset], is showing the world why she’s a mainstay R&B artist.

Toni Braxton Gets Guitar Support From H.E.R. For The Painstaking “Gotta Move On” Video

Toni Braxton unearths a music video for her emotionally-charged single, “Gotta Move On,” featuring R&B star H.E.R.

The Mike Ho-directed visual highlights a woman’s vulnerability following heartbreak, including crying, eating alone at a big table, and more. H.E.R. brings her musicianship to the record and video by strumming an electric guitar, bringing the heart and pain to a climax.

“Gotta Move On” can be found on Braxton’s 10th studio album, Spell My Name, which was released in August 2020.

I kind of wish her dripped some vocals on this track, but nonetheless, it’s great to see a legend and and future legend joint forces!
