SZA Joins Maroon 5 on New Song ‘What Lovers Do’

Pop band Maroon 5 has teamed up with SZA for its new single “What Lovers Do.” The upbeat jam was produced by Ben Billions and Jason Evigan.

Lead singer Adam Levine and SZA exchange words on the bridge. “Aren’t we too grown for games? / Aren’t we too grown to play around? / Young enough to chase / But old enough to know better,” they sing.

Last week, Levine shared footage of him on set shooting the video for “What Lovers Do.” He was lying on a hospital bed with bandages on his face while SZA was dressed as a nurse.

“What Lovers Do” is the follow-up to Maroon 5’s single “Cold,” which features Future.

In other news, SZA is currently on her CTRL Tour with special guests Smino and Ravyn Lanae.

Faye B Asks Her Man ‘Who Is She?’ on New Single

Emerging singer Faye B gets confrontational on her new single, “Who Is She?”

On the groovy tune, produced by Eu93ne, the Swiss singer suspects her man is cheating on her with another woman and gives him the ultimatum to choose the person he wants.

The track serves as the first single from Faye’s forthcoming project, The Journey, Vol. 2: The New Old Me. The EP is the follow-up to her 2016 project, The Journey, which included her single “Movin On.”

“I’m staying true to my signature sound, but I’m freshening it up a little,” Faye said in a statement. “I’ve been through a lot over the past two years, so mentally I’m in a different space now and have a lot to talk about on this EP. This is like a rebirth and I’m super proud of my new songs!”

Stream Teyana Taylor’s New Album ‘K.T.S.E.’

After an extended wait, Teyana Taylor finally delivers her sophomore album, K.T.S.E. (Keep That Same Energy).

Executive produced by Kanye West, the album is the fifth project to release within the last month as part of his G.O.O.D. Music rollout. The eight-track offering includes features from West (“Hurry”), Ty Dolla $ign (“3Way”) and Mykki Blanco (“WTP”).

The album was supposed to drop immediately on Friday at midnight, however, Taylor still needed a little more time to put finishing touches to the project. Rapper Pusha T, who is also president of G.O.O.D. Music, confirmed earlier on Friday that Taylor was still working on parts of the album.

West announced the release date on Twitter in April, along with the other G.O.O.D. Music releases. Keeping that same energy he had for the other four projects, Taylor’s album arrives with no prior singles.

On Thursday (June 21), Taylor hosted an exclusive album listening party in Los Angeles that brought out industry tastemakers and talent including her husband Iman Shumpert, Kanye West, Migos and 2 Chainz, to name a few.

Keep That Same Energy is the follow-up to Taylor’s debut album, VII, which dropped in October 2015. The album featured appearances from Chris Brown, Pusha T and Yo Gotti.

Taylor will support her new album on tour later this summer with Jeremih. The two artists will kick off their North American tour on August 3 in Tampa. The month-long tour will hit major cities including Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles and Seattle, before wrapping up in Portland on September 8.
