All The Best New R&B Music From This Week

Tinashe, Coco Jones, and Mary J Blige for R&B recap

Sometimes the best new R&B can be hard to find, but there are plenty of great rhythm-and-blues tunes to get into if you have the time to sift through the hundreds of newly released songs every week. So that R&B heads can focus on listening to what they love in its true form, we’ll be offering a digest of the best new R&B songs that fans of the genre should hear every Friday.

Since the last update of this weekly R&B column, we’ve received plenty of music and news from the genre’s artists.

Usher announced rescheduled dates for his Past Present Future Tour after doctor’s orders sidelined him for a few days. Janet Jackson detailed list of her very talented family tree while Rihanna teased her new Savage X Fenty collection. Elsewhere, Ella Mai seemingly gave birth to her first child with Jayson Tatum, as an 2024 Olympics video revealed.

Here are the new releases you need to have your eye on this week:

Tinashe — Quantum Baby

Tianshe caps off one of the most successful eras in her career with the release of her seventh album Quantum Baby. The project is a short one, with just eight songs to its name — just like her 2023 album BB/Angel. Quantum Baby is highlighted by “Nasty” and “Getting No Sleep” as well as sweet album cuts like “No Broke Boys” and “Red Flags.”

Coco Jones — “Sweep It Up”

Coco Jones is on a roll right now. She’s shining in season three of Bel-Air and she just released her cover of Princess Tiana’s “Almost There.” With the momentum in her favor, Jones returns with “Sweep It Up,” a confident and bouncy single that’s reminiscent of the R&B bops from the 2000s. The track is a warning to those about the consequences of playing with someone else’s heart and how someone will take of a heart you damaged.

Mary J. Blige — “Breathing” Feat. Fabolous

After the success of 2022’s Good Morning Gorgeous, Mary J. Blige seems to be readying another album. The Power Book II: Ghost actress returns with “Breathing,” her second single since her Grammy nominated album. The track features Fabolous and is carried by a sample of Biggie’s “Kick In The Door” and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ “I Put A Spell On You” as she sings about being happiness and continuing to live in it.

Dylan Sinclair — “Forever”

Toronto singer Dylan Sinclair announced his debut album For The Boy In Me and its release date with the project’s third single “Forever.” The 2023 JUNO Award winner will release the album on September 27 with previous singles “Lemon Trees” and “I Love My Ex.” Of the new single, Sinclair said, “‘Forever’ is about defying all odds, standing strong together despite external pressures, and cherishing an unbreakable bond; a celebration of a love that is defiant, loyal, and everlasting.”

Jabari — “Weekend Drive”

With his debut EP on the way, singer and actor Jabari (best known for his role as Will Smith on Bel-Air) unveils the second single from the upcoming project. “Weekend Drive” is a laid-back and sultry record that captures the feeling of an intimate moment between two lovers. It’s a sweet balance between R&B and pop that emphasize the multi-talent that Jabari is.

RINI — “Your Ecstasy”

RINI’s third EP Lucky 7 is set to arrive on September 6, and with that announcement comes the singer’s latest single “Your Ecstasy.” The track is a breezy blend of R&B and psychedelic alt-rock that makes for the perfect late-night record. It’s a sultry tune that stands out as another highlight in his discography.

Kyle Dion — “Cum Again?”

Kyle Dion is not one to color in the lines and his latest single “Cum Again?” is a perfect example of that. The funky single puts Dion’s charm and confidence on full display in the most fearless and provocative ways. “This song embodies everything that I stand for – sex, love, fun,” Dion says about the singer. “It’s a meaningful record to me as it gives a more mature sound as compared to my previous records, while still embodying that playful and cheeky energy”

Juls — “Perspective” Feat. Masego

Slowly, yet surely, British-Ghanaian producer Juls has put out a collection of impressive collaborations in 2024 ahead of what we hope is a future project. “Perspective” with Masego is the latest in that collection as Juls and Uncle Sego bring their undeniable talents together for a joyous track that advocates for travel, exploration, and finding love in the midst of all of it.

Avenoir — “Favour”

Edmonton singer Avenoir finds his groove on his latest single “Favour.” With 2000s R&B serving as the inspiration for the song, Avenoir aims to prove why he would be an ideal partner for a woman he has his eye on.

Chase Shakur & Destin Laurel — “Passenger Seat Princess”

Atlanta singer Chase Shakur continues his hot streak by taking his talents up north for the Jersey bounce-inspired track “Passenger Seat Princess” with Destin Laurel. Shakur’s falsetto vocals steer the uptempo track as he admits to not wanting to let go of a new woman in his life.

Isaia Huron — I’ll Finish The Lyrics Later

South Carolina singer Isaia Huron’s latest project I’ll Finish The Lyrics Later is one that he didn’t plan to put out originally. “I originally created them in my father’s church, just putting them on SoundCloud without any real plans to share them further,” he said in a press release. “But as people started to connect with the music, I thought, why not?” He goes on to say that the project embraces “the unfinished and the evolving nature of creating music.” Despite this, the nine songs that make up I’ll Finish The Lyrics Later do a great job of showcasing Huron’s improving talents.

Jack Harlow Has Joined His Hometown Soccer Team As A Part Owner Of Racing Louisville FC

Jack Harlow has joined the wave of entertainers supporting women’s sports, joining the ownership group of his hometown’s NWSL (National Women’s Soccer League) team, the Louisville Racing FC. Harlow was already a member of the Louisville City FC ownership group, so now he’s got a piece of both of his hometown soccer clubs. Racing Louisville FC was founded four years ago, in 2019, and played their first season in 2021, giving Harlow entry on the ground floor.

Harlow’s love for his hometown has been a defining characteristic of the 26-year-old rapper’s career so far, launching the Jack Harlow Foundation to benefit Kentucky-based community organizations in 2023 and creating the Gazebo Festival named after his debut album this year. While the latter was unfortunately cut short due to a tornado advisory, Jack’s been a fixture at the Kentucky Derby, even shooting his “Churchill Downs” video with Drake at the race in 2022.

Harlow’s investment could turn out to be a smart one. The NWSL’s viewership has been growing since its return in 2021, a number that is sure to grow thanks to the addition of its players to the FIFA video game series. With it, Harlow could end up being a fixture at future games, and an example for other entertainers looking to support women’s sports.

When (And Where) Will ‘Alien: Romulus’ Come Out On Streaming?

Alien: Romulus
20th Century Studios

Both critics and audiences agree that Alien: Romulus adds to the overall lore to the right degree while also dealing out easter eggs for those who want callback thrills in addition to those elicited by Xenomorphs.

The Fede Álvarez-helmed sci-fi/horror flick thrilled theatergoers this past opening weekend to the tune of $108 million globally (and $41 million domestically), but if you aren’t necessarily holding out for that mother of a popcorn bucket, then you might want to know the details of how this interquel (occurring between between Ridley Scott’s Alien and James Cameron’s Aliens) will arrive on streaming.

When (And Where) Will Alien: Romulus Come Out On Streaming?

Alien: Romulus has a pandemic-muddled history in that the movie was originally planned for a straight-to-Hulu release (as Álvarez put it to Variety, “That decision was not made at the point where theaters were healthy”) like Predator-offshoot Prey, which arrived in 2022. That movie, starring Amber Midthunder, actually broke a significant Hulu record, which was likely a reason why sibling-creature feature Alien: Romulus received even more theatrical consideration once theaters began bouncing back.

Álvarez further revealed that he made the change-of-plans announcement on set, “and there was a big cheer.” He added, “I was like, wow, even the gaffer cares that this goes into theaters!” And the rest is Xenomorphic history.

As for the when, don’t expect this to hit Hulu (which will be its initial streaming-platform home) until anywhere between 90-120 days after theatrical release. In all likelihood, the film will hit VOD slightly before the Hulu arrival happens, but until you can watch at home in your preferred way, you can always stream the other Alien movies again.

Longtime Sneakerhead Wale Finally Got An Official Collab With Nike For A DMV Staple

Maryland native Wale has long been one of hip-hop’s most well-known sneakerheads. His breakout 2007, “Nike Boots,” was an ode to one of his beloved DMV Area’s favorite footwear staples, he’s got one of the largest, most renowned sneaker collections of just about anyone in hip-hop, and he’s had a couple of high-profile collabs with athletic shoe brands like Asics and Saucony. But despite all this, somehow, he’s never actually gotten to do an official team-up with the biggest sneaker brand of all, Nike. Until now.

Wale and Nike just announced their first-ever collab, the Nike Air Foamposite One in a “DMV Cherry Blossom” colorway, with a poetic trailer narrated by Wale and showcasing some of the other hallmarks of Capital City culture such as mumbo sauce and streetball. The sneakers, which the DMV has wholeheartedly embraced since their debut in the late 1990s, will be available at select locations throughout the DC/Maryland/Virginia area beginning on August 23. They are the second pair of Foams to pay tribute to the region’s everlasting love of the silhouette popularized by Orlando Magic point guard Penny Hardaway.

Meanwhile, the former Uproxx cover star recently announced his next album, Every Blue Moon alongside, dates for its accompanying tour. See below for more info regarding the release of the DMV Cherry Blossom Nike Air Foamposite One.

All in all, the band is back on track after they were forced to cancel some concerts in Mexico City earlier this year due to medical issues.

Destroy Lonely Announced His ‘Love Lasts Forever’ Album, And Fans Won’t Have To Wait Forever To Hear It

Destroy Lonely teased “Luv 4 Ya” during Coachella 2024, teeing up the song’s official release in June, and the 91 Rules-directed video arrived the following month.

“Hope y’all love this as much as we do, took [about] a year to get right,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on August 15.

According to a press release, “Love Lasts Forever represents a pivotal moment in Lonely’s career, showcasing his growth as an artist and storyteller with its innovative and genre-defying sound.” Lil 88 executive produced the album. As of this writing, Destroy Lonely hasn’t shared the tracklist.

Forget Glen Powell, It’s Cailee Spaeny Summer

cailee spaeny (1024x450)

It’s a fun coincidence that two of the most exciting breakout stars of 2024 were born in the same part of Missouri within months of each other. Willard and Springfield — not New York or Los Angeles or Miami, but Willard and Springfield, Missouri, with a combined population of under 180,000 — are the birthplaces of Chappell Roan (Willard) and Cailee Spaeny (Springfield). One is the biggest non-Taylor Swift pop star of the moment, who is drawing record–breaking crowds, while the other is having a Glen Powell-like run of popular, critically-acclaimed movies but with only half the attention. It’s time to change that.

It’s Cailee Spaeny summer. And spring. Her winter was pretty good, too.

Born on July 24, 1998, Spaeny started in local theater before she made her on-screen debut in 2016’s short film Counting to 1000 (you can watch the crime-thriller on Vimeo). Two years later, she had a small role in Pacific Rim Uprising, but made enough of an impression to be one of the few good things about the otherwise-disappointing Pacific Rim sequel. With a knowing sense of humor, she explained what happened next to the New York Times: “This fresh-faced little girl comes to town. She’s from the Midwest, she’s got a bit of an accent, bright-eyed, bushy tailed. They jump on that opportunity.”

Suddenly, Spaeny was booking parts in quick succession — Dakota Johnson’s sister in Bad Times at the El Royale, a young Lynne Cheney in Best Picture nominee Vice, one of the teen witches in The Craft Legacy, as well as roles in FX’s Devs and HBO’s Mare of Easttown — but she was still a relative unknown.

Then came Priscilla, the exquisite and poignant biopic of Priscilla and Elvis Presley that earned Spaeny serious Oscar buzz (she was snubbed, but she did receive a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama). Director Sofia Coppolla was intimidated by the prospect of casting someone “that could believably pull off a journey from the age of 14 to 29,” as she told Deadline, but when she met Spaeney, “I found her to be thoughtful and sensitive.” An endorsement from Kirsten Dunst helped, too.

“Kirsten said how talented she was and how great she was to work with,” Coppola said. Spaeny and Dunst worked together on Alex Garland’s Civil War, which is quietly one of the major box office success stories of the year. A24’s mid-budget feature (which started filming before Priscilla but came out after) grossed over $120 million at the box office on a $50 million budget, but more importantly, like Glen Powell being attached to Tom Cruise’s hip while making Top Gun: Maverick, Spaeney found a movie star mentor in Dunst.

Unlike the dynamic between photojournalists Lee and Jessie in Civil War, Spaeney has learned the right lessons from Dunst. The Bring It On / The Virgin Suicides / Spider-Man / Melancholia / The Power of the Dog (the list could keep going) actress has stayed in the public eye for as long as she has with her ability to star in both emotionally complex indies and blockbusters appealing to the broadest audience possible, and now Spaeney can say the same thing.

There’s decades of expectations that come with playing the female lead in an Alien movie; Sigourney Weaver probably would have become a star no matter what, yet Ripley made her an icon. But Spaeney crushes it in Alien: Romulus. She commands the screen when she’s shooting a big gun at a bunch of wet aliens, and her scenes with David Jonsson’s robot brother Andy are genuinely touching. Plus, she looks cool as hell. The reception to Alien: Romulus has been divisive (I liked it, except for one thing I hated), but everyone agrees that Spaeney’s Rain does Ripley justice with her performance.

What’s next for Spaeney, now that she no longer has to worry about losing talent shows to Chappell Roan? She’s in the next Knives Out movie, and she’ll also reportedly star alongside Charles Melton, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Anne Hathaway in the next season of Netflix’s Emmy-winning anthology series Beef.

Science-fiction, action, drama, comedy, horror, mystery. There’s not one path Spaeney is drawn to. She wants to try it all. “Going from Civil War to Priscilla, and then Alien: Romulus,” she explained to Empire, “those are completely different films in every way. I’m trying to flip it on its head all the time to keep things interesting.” It’s a similar, refreshingly Marvel-free path as Powell, who bounced from crowd-pleasing sequel Top Gun Maverick to rom-com Anyone But You to the darkly funny Hit Man to disaster film Twisters in short order. It’s not time to make Cailee Spaeny happen. It’s already happening.

For her part, Spaeny is fine with keeping a low profile; she’s not even sure if Movie Star is in her future. “This could really easily be a chapter of my life and not my whole life,” she told the New York Times. “There’s only so many tricks an actor has up their sleeve.” And maybe that’s a part of what makes her such a special talent for this moment. We’re inundated by people who want to take over the world and drive the culture, but sometimes decisions made in pursuit of celebrity wind up making bad movies or forcing cringe moments. There’s such a thing as being too thirsty for fame. Maybe what we all need is someone who just wants to enjoy the ride and do cool sh*t.

Hopefully Spaeny will continue to do cool sh*t for as many summers as she wants.

‘The Old Man’ Season 2: Everything To Know About Jeff Bridges’ Return In The ‘John Wick’-Like Series (Update For August 2024)

The Old Man Season 2
Via FX on YouTube

Usually, a two-year gap between seasons is both customary (in the streaming age) and frustrating to viewers. Any resulting impatience would also ordinarily be the case for an FX series that has shades of both John Wick and Taken, two vengeance-focused action worlds that have viewers eagerly coming back for more, and sure, Jeff Bridges devotees are slightly impatient to see more of him in decades-spanning thriller-espionage series The Old Man. However, Bridges has had a hell of a time lately, which makes two years look like a fast turnaround. He recovered from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after shooting the first season with a sizable tumor inside his stomach.

The Dude cannot stay down for long. Bridges now returns for more gripping action (and realistic action, as we will soon discuss) as ex-CIA operative Dan Chase, and fortunately, Bridges insists that he’s “feeling great now.” He’s also now acting alongside John Lithgow as Harold Harper as the two characters unite for a mission, so let’s roll into what to expect from the second season.

Plot

FX

As The Old Man‘s new trailer reveals, this season will bring back a key attraction: realistic action for a 75-year-old former assassin, who has still got “it,” but he’s slower and cannot exactly bash together heads like an Arnold Schwarzenegger character would do. As Bridges and executive producer Warren Littlefield have further hinted, the series will head “deep into Afghanistan” (with or without dogs, but Rottweilers will be present), and as the trailer previews, Dan and Harold (who is surely feeling outside of his cushier element right now) will attempt to retrieve Emily Chase/Angela (Alia Shawkat) from the clutches of warlord Faraz Hamzad. However, that trailer also suggests that perhaps she might not be so willing to be rescued.

That apparent turn of events jibes with FX’s second-season synopsis, which operates under the clusterf*ck of “all three men” (Dan, Harold, and Faraz) “claiming her as their daughter.” Cue an identity crisis and more chaos:

As Chase and Harper fight their way to get to Emily, Hamzad is forced to make decisions that could endanger his family and the village he has led faithfully for a lifetime. Khadija, Hamzad’s sister and trusted advisor, is concerned about the path her brother has taken and what it will cost them. As the stakes get higher and more secrets are uncovered, Zoe McDonald makes surprising moves after having been drawn into a new world by Chase….

The series is, of course, is based upon Thomas Perry’s 2017 same-named book, which paints layers of Dan Chase’s history and parties whose motives are not as they appear to be. The trailer suggests that Dan’s own “painting” will bite him in the butt this season, although to be semi-fair, Dan would have preferred that he would have never come back from his off-the-grid lifestyle in the first place. The fallout from the resulting confrontations will surely lead back into the show’s lingering question of who the “old man” of the show’s title will actually turn out to be.

As the aforementioned trailer also reveals, Amy Brenneman’s Zoe seems to be enjoying her changed lifestyle more than expected. As Brenneman has elaborated, “She’s an outsider” to Dan’s world, but “[s]he’s an American woman living in the twenty-first century. Her life is just as complex. She has to shape-shift and dissemble just as much as any spy to get through her day.”

By the way, the show’s resemblance to John Wick is pure coincidence but a welcome development, considering that John Wick was written about a 75-year-old ex-assassin ahead of Keanu Reeves joining the project.

Cast

Alia Shawkat will return as Emily/Angela. Perhaps it’s her world, and Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow, and Pej Vahdat/Navid Negahban (who both portray the Afghanistan warlord at different ages) are simply living in it. The second season’s cast also includes Jacqueline Antaramian, Amy Brenneman, and Gbenga Akinnagbe.

Release Date

September 12 is when dads (and those who love them and their TV choices) will want to hop in front of the TV. FX will debut two episodes with next-day drops on Hulu, and weekly releases will follow for a total of eight episodes.

Trailer

This trailer doubles down on Soundgarden while showing Emily’s new situation and Harold roughing it by literally getting into the saddle:

Shaboozey’s Huge Summer Has Him Tied For The Longest-Running No. 1 Single Of 2024 So Far

Shaboozey TwoGether Land 2024
Getty Image

Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated August 24, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Hozier — “Too Sweet”

“Too Sweet” enjoyed a week at No. 1 back in April, but it’s still dominating the Hot Rock Songs chart, which it leads for a 20th week.

9. Teddy Swims — “Lose Control”

You might think a week at No. 9 isn’t that special for a former No. 1 single, but this is the song’s 31st week in the top 10, which puts it tied with the eighth-most top-10 weeks this decade. (It has a way to go to catch up to The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” at No. 1 with 57 weeks.)

8. Sabrina Carpenter — “Please Please Please”

It was announced last week that Carpenter will perform at this year’s MTV VMAs, where she’ll perhaps bust out this former chart-topper.

7. Chappell Roan — “Good Luck, Babe!”

Speaking of 2024 VMAs performers: “Good Luck, Babe!” was at its all-time high of No. 6 last week, and it’s taken a slight slide this time around.

6. Tommy Richman — “Million Dollar Baby”

“Million Dollar Baby” may end up topping out at No. 2, but the viral hit is still chugging along respectfully in the top 10.

5. Billie Eilish — “Birds Of A Feather”

Here’s a new milestone for Eilish: “Birds Of A Feather” is now her fifth top-5 song, following “Bad Buy,” “Therefore I Am,” and “Lunch.” This makes Hit Me Hard And Soft her first album to generate multiple top-5 hits.

4. Sabrina Carpenter — “Espresso”

“Espresso” somehow never topped the Hot 100, but it’s still doing fantastic just outside of the top 3, one spot off its peak, this week.

3. Kendrick Lamar — “Not Like Us”

“Not Like Us” is still crushing it, as it’s atop the Hot Rap Songs chart for a 14th week and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for a 12th total week.

2. Post Malone — “I Had Some Help” Feat. Morgan Wallen

Country has been dominating the charts in recent weeks as Malone’s Wallen collab is once again in the top 2 after a six-week run at No. 1.

1. Shaboozey — “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is not only an undeniable hit, but it’s one of the biggest of the year so far. This is the song’s sixth week at No. 1, which ties with with “I Had Some Help” for the most weeks on top in 2024.
