Slide | Calvin Harris feat. Frank Ocean & Migos

When I think of Calvin Harris, I normally think of your typical #EDM track so I that's what I was thinking when I saw this new track by the popular DJ.  The track is a little slower than a lot of Calvin's previous songs, specifically the most recent hits.  I was definitely interested to see what the song had to offer just based on the features.  Never thought I would ever see Frank Ocean on the same song as #Migos.  Good to see Migos expanding to different genres and being able to reach a wider audience.  However, the song was just meh.  I didn't hate it but I also didn't love it, but I could see it growing on me.

Money | Cardi B LINK IN BIO TO LISTEN Jesus Cardi. Cardi is officially off maternity leave. The production on this song is absolutely stupid (no info on who is responsible for it yet). It was originally said that the song would be released on Thursday, but I guess Atlantic and QC said, let’s go! I wonder if there is any irony in the fact that Nicki has been promoting the drop of the video she did for Jason Derulo’s new song, which I think dropped earlier today. Other than this song having potential anthem implications, I’m just glad to hear not too many obvious shots at Nicki. I really am over that story. It’s good to see Cardi’s return and in this way. The song is a banger! Even the cover art of the track shows how far she’s come in the game and this song further solidifies that she isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Oh and I can’t wait to see the visual for this. #musicblog #newmusic #musicreview #cardib #money #qc #bardigang

Checklist | Normani x Calvin Harris x Wizkid LINK IN BIO TO LISTEN I don’t think I’ve ever anticipated someone’s solo career more than I’ve anticipated Normani’s. Without warning, she just released a 2 for 1 collaboration with Calvin Harris, the famed EDM DJ/producer. The other track is a solo one titled, “Slow Down.” I think of the two, this one is my favorite though I have some gripes with both of the songs. I think I envisioned different production from her for her solo run. Though on this song, Calvin gives his best afro beat attempt, it just misses the mark for me. He should have had Wizkid get some co-production on it. The collab between her and Wizkid is not that surprising as he has and continues to make his rounds with some hot American R&B acts. The other release would have been dope but for the production. I would love to hear her on some more hip-hop influenced production though this song will likely do very well internationally. Either way, I’m still super excited for any and all solo projects from her and hopefully these releases signal the start of much more to come. #newmusic #normanikordei #calvinharris #wizkid #checklist #musicblog #musicreview #normanixcalvinharris #musicmonday
Trust | Brent Faiyaz LINK IN BIO TO LISTEN Since being on the double-platinum song, “Crew,” Brent Faiyaz has been continuing to make his rounds with his own music releases. Arguably, his contribution on the song “Crew” was the most memorable and most identifiable, so much so, that I think many people would have assumed that the song belonged to him. Since the success of that song, he has released an album Sonder Son that was released last year and this past #NewMusicFriday, he dropped a new EP, Lost. The EP is a short project, clocking in at a little less than 20 minutes but gives you some good insight into his artistry. This track was one of the songs that stood out to me, although the entire project is one that can be played from beginning to end. At this point, I think he is one of those artists that has a solid, core fan base but this project may held expand that, which is never a bad thing. #newmusic #musicmonday #musicreview #brentfaiyaz #lost #trust #ep #musicblog
