Best of the Week
Justine Skye - Dark Side [ep] Following the recent viral success of Justine's 2014 single "Collide" featuring Tyga, she's back with her first offering of 2023. The new album features production from legendary producer Timbaland, a handful of new songs and the highly requested solo version of "Collide". I'm actually pretty excited to see how Justine and team flip her current Tik Tok success into further building out her fanbase with the rollout of this new album. And I must flag, there's a LOT to be taken from the strategy her team is implementing as they double down on "Collide". Far too often artists put expiration dates on records that have potential to be huge for their careers and miss the ball on building traction for themselves because they don't want to market "old" records. So, salute to Justine.. I love this album and I hope she doesn't allow social media to get to her. Personal Picks: "When You're Ready", "We", "Collide (Solo Version)", "Do It Right"
October London - "Back to your Place" [single] Wow wow wow, stumbled upon this on Spotify's R&B Weekly and wow. His vocal's are VERY much giving heavy, heavy Marvin Gaye influence. This song is incredible through and through, production and everything. Make sure y'all add this one to your Valentine's Day sex playlists.
