Maurice Moore - Typhoon



Canada is on fire right now...Drake,OVO,Justin Bieber,The Weeknd,Tory Lanez...and now Maurice Moore. The amazingly talented singer/songwriter gifts us his ode to Bay Area songstress Kehlani in the form of "Typhoon". Maurice's voice floats over the slinky, bass heavy joint, exercising his lush falsetto to profess his admiration. From top to bottom this track is a winner! Everything I love (with the exception of a fire bridge) in a steamy, slow jam is embodied within this record. As a writer, I definitely appreciated the play on words throughout the hook and the 2nd verse (Kehlani song titles). This guy is going places. Dip into "Typhoon" below.

Video: Pia Mia - Touch



Guamanian sensation (and one of my favorite artists) Pia Mia is striking while the iron is hot via her 2nd single "Touch". The blonde bombshell continues with the island vibe, donning nine fashionable looks, performing smooth choreography, and even sharing a little on screen romance with Straight Outta Compton star, O'Shea Jackson. Pia incorporated all of the things that made me fall in love with music videos to begin with...multiple outfit changes, dancing, and over all creativity (check out the truck she turned into a pool!). Look out for the young star's debut album dropping next year under Interscope Records. Watch Touch below.

Video: Keke Palmer - I Don't Belong To You



Actress Keke Palmer is stepping out for the second time as a musical artist with her new video "I Don't Belong To You". In the black and white clip, the former teen star shows that she is all grown up and knows exactly who she is, as she struts her stuff to the London On The Track produced, R&B number. Now this is what I'm talking about! Keke looks gorgeous in a variety of sexy looks showing off her toned body and exudes the confidence to make it every bit believable. The song is catchy as hell and touches on a topic we've yet to hear from a woman on a mainstream front, which I thought was very clever. Power actor and singer Rotimi stars as the leading man, while the ever beautiful Cassie drops in for a surprise ending. Experience the shockingly sensual video below.

Jacquees - Bounce



Atlanta singer Jacquees holds his fans over with his latest track "Bounce", while they wait for the release of his debut album. The Rich Gang star keeps with the sexual theme on the slow-burning R&B banger and it's gold. I love a good sex song, especially with a little knock to it...so this is a winner in my eyes. Take a listen below.

Video: Obs3ssed - Flexin'



Girl group Obs3ssed step onto the scene with their throwback inspired video "Flexin". The singing trio take it back to the early naughties with Christina inspired wardrobe and Britney like dance moves, all the while keeping it current with fresh R&B styled melodies. I love a good girl group so I'm all the way here for it. Here's to hoping that this isn't a one off and these ladies do big things. Watch the no scrub kiss-off anthem below.




Video: Miguel - Waves



R&B rockstar Miguel has been enjoying a few years of success off of his experimental sound. His latest single and video "Waves" further pushes his agenda into uncharted waters. The urban funk track sees the ever sexual crooner expressing his intimate needs, while the video plays out as a psychedelic, punk show equipped with women galore and a few famous features (J.Cole,Wale,Vanessa Hudgens). I absolutely love "Waves" and it's parent album Wildheart. Miguel has successfully blended lush harmonies with exuberant guitar melodies to create enjoyable, real life experiences,,which is much needed in the current state of music. Get lost at sea below.

Video: JayWill - Come and Go



It's not everyday we get to witness an artist as unique as LA rapper JayWill. The bisexual emcee lets it be known that guys come a dime a dozen in the colorful video for "Come and Go". In said clip, Jay gets pampered by shirtless hunks, gets his nerd on with a couple of school girls, and even switches it up by rocking a long ponytail while busting out some choreographed moves. This visual shows how you can successfully intertwine being yourself with being commercially viable...and the song...so catchy and honestly is something I could see Nicki Minaj being apart of, which is a compliment if you ask me. My favorite line (probably because I'm from Cali lol) is def My next n*gga name Raekwon is a criminal from Piru, and if nobody ever (insert) a n*gga that gangbang shit I do. With his fearlessness and creative eye alone, he will go far. As Gucci would say, Miss one..next 15 one comin'. Watch below.
