There’s some rap, pop, indie rock, a beautiful ballad and a classic show tune. Something for everybody.

Nil Nas X – Light Again!

Lil Nas X has a new tune and he’s worked with a stack of producers to create it. Take a Daytrip, Omer ZFedi, Jasper Harris and Daft Punk member Thomas Bangalter all worked with the musician on this new tune. The song also interpolates Beyonce’s hit Cuff It.

The tune is the first single from an upcoming project called Dreamboy.

Tate McRae is taking to the road in her new clip. This is the second single from her forthcoming album So Close to What. The track is written by McRae alongside Ryan Tedder, Amy Allen and Peter Rycroft aka Lostboy.
