    One Hit Wonders That Still Go Off (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It’s National One-Hit Wonder Day, and I have to admit: calling somebody a “one-hit wonder” has always sounded a little shady to me. Because how are we going to put “one” and “hit” together like having ONE massive record isn’t an accomplishment? Do you know how many artists spend their entire careers trying to get just ONE? And in hip-hop and R&B, some of those so-called one-hit wonders have records that lasted longer than entire careers. September 25 is actually dedicated to celebrating exactly

    Do the VMAs Still Matter? I’m Watching Anyway (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I’ve always loved the VMAs. I’m a music person, but I’m also a VISUAL person, and there was a time when the music video was almost as important as the song itself. The VMAs understood that better than any other awards show. This is the stage that gave us the performances everybody talked about at school and work the next morning. The fashion mattered. The videos mattered. The performances mattered. And most importantly, the VMAs felt unpredictable. So when I hear people ask in 2026, “Why are the

    Houston Won Kehlani’s Crowd Challenge—Period! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I’ve seen Kehlani multiple times, so walking into another Kehlani show, I already knew I was going to enjoy myself. But this one felt different. “Folded” has become EVERYWHERE, and watching Kehlani have another huge R&B moment has been exciting as somebody who’s been a fan long before this current wave. So I wasn’t surprised when we got to the show and Houston had packed the place out. Kehlani has reached that point where you look around and realize the music has touched several different eras o

    Forgiveness Friday: He Gave His Girlfriend an STI (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There are some things you can give your partner that might earn you a thank-you. Flowers. A vacation. A little money. Maybe even some peace and quiet. For this week’s Forgiveness Friday, we flipped a relationship scenario that immediately had everybody asking one question: Could you forgive this? The boyfriend says he and his girlfriend broke up for a couple of months. During that time, he slept with somebody else. Technically, no cheating happened because they were single. The problem came when

    Jhené Aiko Returns With ‘Westside Whimsy’ After Six-Year Album Hiatus (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Jhené Aiko is officially back, and this one feels like a long time coming. After six years without a full-length album, the R&B singer returned Friday with Westside Whimsy, a 20-track project inspired heavily by her California roots, ‘90s R&B, West Coast culture and the laid-back sound that has always fit her so naturally. This is Jhené’s first album since Chilombo dropped in 2020, and she definitely didn’t come back alone. Westside Whimsy includes features from Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, Tyga, La
