This week’s round-up of freshest music releases carry a collaborative theme running throughout, as each song includes features from a range of expected and unexpected artists.

1. Megan Thee Stallion ft Young ThugDon’t Stop

Megan enlists Young Thug on her new electro-heavy single. The video is inspired by Alice In Wonderland and takes the psychedelics to another level. Along with the new track, Megan announced her new album is expected to drop before we ring in the new year. Don’t Stop is one of Megan’s few releases this year, with her feature on Cardi B’s track WAP, and her single Savage (remix) ft Beyonce as its predecessors.

2. Jorja Smith ft Popcaan – Come Over

UK artist Jorja Smith teams up with Jamaican artist, Popcaan, for a Dancehall-R&B inspired track. Jorja’s vocals are uplifted by an upbeat bassline, produced by IZAƏAHĀ &Ā MadisonLST.

“Come Over” is an upbeat and empowering single, inspired by “that unsure feeling when you’re talking to someone and you can’t tell how much they’re into you and you’re chasing them when – really – it can be straight up and no one should be playing games.” Smith states.

The song is accompanied by an anime inspired music video.
