Chanel West Coast – Lit for Days

Chanel shares, “Lit for Days, is a universal feel-good song for anyone and everyone to vibe to. I wanted to make a party song for people from all walks of life, for any occasion, and truly bring people together through music. I also wanted to redefine the word lit. When people think of getting lit, they imagine keg stands and people raging so hard they’re falling over…which is getting lit… but not the only way. Whether you’re on a yacht in Italy, at the club, at a small family BBQ, or simply dancing around in your living room, you can get lit anywhere, and all it requires is being around the people you love. I wrote Lit for Days in 2021, long before I was a mother, and we also shot the music video in 2021. I’ve been a mom for months now, but I still know how to party and wanted to show that, so I decided to add a family party scene to the music video where my baby girl Bowie makes the cutest cameo ever! I think many people can feel lit in different ways, and for me, being a good mom is truly being lit. Adding her to the video was a must because motherhood is the best high I’ve ever felt and makes ME feel lit for days. I hope this song becomes everyone’s summer anthem and makes them feel that good energy when they listen to it!”

Chanel‘s inspiration for Lit For Days is a celebration of happiness and self-expression for people of all ages and backgrounds.

SOFIA REYES + DANNA PAOLA

THE TWO MOST EXCITING MEXICAN POP STARS, SOFIA REYES, AND DANNA PAOLA, JOIN FORCES ON THE HYPER POP SONG OF THE YEAR.

“tqum (te quiero un montón)”

Both Mexican singers deliver a carefree hyperpop song accompanied by a very fun video

LISTEN TO “tqum (te quiero un montón)” HERE

Sofia Reyes and Danna Paola, two of the most popular popstars in the world right now, have joined forces to deliver an event song that will dominate this summer and point to the future of the genre. Marking the first time both artists have worked in the hyperpop medium, “tqum (te quiero un montón)” deals with feeling nostalgic about an ex and being honest with oneself about missing being with that person; “tqum” gives both Sofía and Danna the chance to express themselves in a unique way. With its avant-garde arrangement and execution, the singers deliver a song that will stay on top of your go-to playlist.

To accompany the new single, a video for “tqum” has been released. Directed by Mamo Vernet and produced by MITH Originals, the video sees the singers trapped in a hellish plane flight which makes them wreck havoc and have a great time. The video reflects the fun aspect of the song as well as the good times Sofía and Danna have together. The visual is a must watch and will be on loop in screens everywhere.

Sofía says about the collaboration. “When we’re on a plane or we spend too much time by ourselves, remember people, and land our thoughts. Sharing this song with Danna Paola is very powerful, obviously because we’re both Mexicans and friends, but also because the song is very much a pop song, and it’s important for both of us to make music that celebrates this kind of music.”

“tqum” will be included in Sofia’s forthcoming album due later in 2023. The full length will also include “Luna,” which sees the singer embrace nature and the power of feminine divinity in a heartfelt and celestial love song. “tqum” was written by Sofia, Danna, Karen Sotomayor, and Thom Bridges; it was produced by Bridges. Rolling Stone hailed the as-yet-untitled album as “the beginning of a new era […] after an excellent, cumbia-filled album, Mal De Amores.”

Reyes has become an international Latin music superstar. With nominations to prestigious awards like Latin GRAMMYs, Latin American Music Awards, MTV Europe Awards, Premios Juventud, and NRJ Music Awards, among many others, Reyes has demonstrated her talent and versatility as a Global pop icon. She has achieved more than 1 billion views on YouTube and more than 2 billion streams on Spotify worldwide with the numbers rising every day. Her hits like “1 2 3,” “RIP,” “Mal De Amores,” and “Marte” have earned platinum and gold status by the RIAA as well as critical praise by such outlets as Billboard and Rolling Stone. Thanks to the viral hit “1 2 3” on Tik Tok, Reyes became the Latin female artist with the most creations on the platform, with 8 million videos.

YEAT + YOUNG THUG

YEAT TAPS YOUNG THUG FOR NEW SINGLE “MY WRIST”

STREAM HERE

Today, fresh off his explosive North American tour, rap phenomenon Yeat teams up with superstar Young Thug for new single “My wrist.” Produced by Pi’erre Bourne, the track threads dissonance and distortion together into an undeniably bouncy beat while Thug and Yeat careen through their verses. Dotted with the duo’s signature ad-libs, the song is as propulsive as one would expect from the superstar collaboration.

“My wrist” (Field Trip Recordings / Geffen Records) by Yeat & Young Thug is available at all digital retailers HERE.

“My wrist” comes in the wake of AftërLyfe, Yeat’s acclaimed album from earlier this year. The record-shattering album marked Yeat’s highest album debut to date at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart. Receiving an impressive 30M global streams within the first 24 hours alone, the album release was also Yeat’s largest streaming day for his entire catalog with a staggering 60M total combined streams. The blockbuster project, which currently has all 22 tracks surpassing 1M streams on Spotify, sold nearly 55,000 album equivalent units in its first week of release.

After breaking through in 2021 when “Gët Busy” exploded on TikTok, Yeat earned co-signs from the likes of Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, and Young Thug — and quickly amassed superstar-worthy statistics of his own. In 2022, he clocked more than two billion streams and sold more than 2.1 albums globally, cementing his spot among rap heavyweights whose career will only continue to ascend as the years go on. Recently, he had his highest album debut to date with AftërLyfe at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart. Receiving an impressive 30M streams within the first 24 hours alone, the album release was also Yeat’s largest streaming day for his entire catalog with a staggering 60M total combined streams. AftërLyfe marks Yeat’s third entry into the Top 10, with previous projects Up 2 Me at #6 and Lyfë at #10.

ABOUT YEAT:

Low-fi melodies, clever cutting lyrics, and a distinctly mysterious persona are all highlights that build up the enigma that is Yeat, one of the most interesting rises in music. The prolific rapper broke through in 2021 when his song “Gët Busy” began appearing in TikTok videos. The track became so ubiquitous that it caught the attention of heavyweight rappers, including Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, Gunna, and many more. As his fame skyrocketed, so did the mania surrounding the artist’s cult-like following which led to the shutdown of a show in Los Angeles at The Roxy. Now, with two headlining tours under his belt, three Billboard Top 10 Album Debuts, and over 5.1 billion global streams, the young talent is well on his way to superstardom.

Yeat was born Noah Smith in 2000. He began releasing music around 2015, taking notes from Young Thug’s melodic strangeness and the inventive production styles of rappers who were rising to prominence as he grew up. He started out using the moniker Lil Yeat, but shortened it to Yeat in 2018. That year, he released his first mixtape, Deep Blue Strips. From then on, he was in hyperdrive. As his fame skyrocketed, Yeat released the mixtapes Alivë and 4L, and the Trëndi EP, before signing to Field Trip Recordings / Geffen Records for the release of his first proper studio album. Up 2 Më was issued in September 2021 followed by a second studio LP, 2 Alivë, in early 2022 and AftërLyfe in 2023.

Trending Colored Contacts Lenses

This is from l enstownus.com

For many people, colored contact lenses have become an essential part of their makeup and personal style. With so many different types available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one. In this article, we will introduce the types and characteristics of colored lenses and recommend some popular brands that can be purchased online.

Firstly, there are two main types of colored lenses: daily disposable and monthly disposable. Daily disposable colored contacts, also known as dailies, are designed to be worn for a single day and then discarded. The advantages of dailies include their convenience and hygiene, as well as the ability to easily change the color and design. However, they can be more expensive than monthly contacts and generate more waste.

Monthly disposable colored contacts, also known as monthlies, can be worn for up to a month and require daily cleaning, disinfection, and storage. The advantages of monthlies include their lower cost compared to dailies and their durability. However, they require more maintenance and carry a higher risk of infection if not cared for properly. Additionally, some people may grow tired of wearing the same color or design for an entire month.

When choosing the color of your contact lenses, consider factors such as your natural eye color, skin tone, hair color, and personal style. You may also want to choose different colors for different occasions or settings. For example, brown lenses can create a natural look that is suitable for everyday situations such as work or school. Brown lenses can also make the eyes appear larger and create a gentle atmosphere.

Colored contact lenses offer a fun and easy way to enhance your personal style. Whether you prefer the convenience of dailies or the cost-effectiveness of monthlies, there is a wide range of colors and designs to choose from.

Here are 5 recommended colored contact lenses for 2023 that you can conveniently purchase online:

Brown Colored Contacts: Brown contacts create a natural and gentle impression, making them perfect for everyday use. They are popular and suitable for most eye colors. If you have large black eyes, you can choose a lighter shade such as pale brown or beige to add depth to your eyes. People with small black eyes can opt for darker shades such as dark brown or chocolate to make their eyes look deeper and more attractive.

Gray Colored Contacts: Gray contacts create a cool and sophisticated impression, making them perfect for special occasions and parties. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone. For example, if you have fair skin, a light gray or silver shade will make your eyes stand out. People with darker skin can opt for darker shades such as dark gray or charcoal to enhance their eyes.

Blue Colored Contacts: Blue colored contacts create a bold and glamorous look, making them perfect for special occasions such as parties and dates. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone. For example, if you have fair skin, a light blue or sky blue shade will create a neat and cute look. People with light brown skin can choose darker shades such as navy or royal blue to create a sexy and mature look.

Green Colored Contacts: Green colored contacts create a refreshing and energetic impression, making them perfect for spring and summer. Choose a shade that complements your hair color. For example, if you have dark or brown hair, a vibrant shade such as emerald or forest green will make your eyes stand out. Blondes and redheads can choose lighter shades such as mint or cactus green to create a kinder look.

Black Colored Contacts: Black colored circle lenses create an intense and mysterious look, making them perfect for dramatic occasions such as Halloween or cosplay events. They are suitable for all skin tones and hair colors and can be worn with a variety of makeup styles to create different effects.

Summer Walker – Dreamville Festival

During her stellar performance at 2023’s Dreamville Festival, the empress of modern-day R&B, Summer Walker (LVRN/Interscope Records), announced that her forthcoming effort CLEAR 2: SOFT LIFE EP will drop May 19. CLEAR 2: SOFT LIFE EP is the sequel to Summer’s 2019 release, CLEAR, which served as a four-track offering and a prelude to her magnum opus and platinum effort, Over It. Fans can pre-order the project exclusively from her website at www.summerwalkermusic.com

In 2022, Summer revamped her 2018 masterpiece Last Day of Summer with Last Day of Summer (Sped Up). The newer version arrived after the TikTok success of “Karma,” which saw spikes in streams after fans sped up the older rendition at the start of 2022. TikTok influencer @whereisreese created the viral dance and helped propel the song into new success, including her No. 9 entry on urban radio, which continues to climb.

Other Summer songs which have found similar success after being sped up on TikTok and YouTube include “Shame,” “Deep,” and her Billboard smash hit “Girls Need Love (Remix)” featuring Drake. The latter began catching traction when Kehlani expressed her joy in the sped-up version, dubbing it her “new favorite sound.” Last Day of Summer is officially the first sped-up album to be released by a major recording artist and is a result of the singer listening to her devoted fanbase, who found pleasure in revisiting her classic but in a newer way. Last Day of Summer was the precursor to Summer’s electric 2019 debut album Over It, which spawned acclaim and fanfare throughout the music industry.

She also continues to rack up more RIAA wins and certifications, including “I’ll Kill You (2X Platinum),” “CPR (Platinum),” “Just Might (Platinum),” “Karma (Platinum),” “Just Might (Platinum),” “Tonight (Platinum),” “Constant Bullshit (Gold),” “Insane (“Gold”), “My Affection” featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR (Gold),” “Off Of You, (Gold”), “Toxic” featuring Lil Durk (Gold)” and “Unloyal” featuring Ari Lennox (Gold).”

Summer Walker’s CLEAR 2: SOFT LIFE EP is now available for pre order exclusively at www.summerwalkermusic.com.

These three titans show up and show out together. They will never fall off…

The new track comes on the heels of Jermaine Dupri and Curren$y’s debut single, “Essence Fest.” Released earlier this month, the single has already racked up over 456k Spotify streams, in addition to receiving critical acclaim from the likes of RapRadar, Dirty Glove Bastard, and HotNewHipHop, to name a few.

ABOUT JERMAINE DUPRI:

Rather than impacting only one lane, Jermaine Dupri has changed the course of R&B, hip-hop, and pop throughout an illustrious career earmarked by some of the most recognizable hits of all time. The GRAMMY® Award-winning iconic songwriter, producer, rapper, artist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist has powered game-changing, and chart-breaking smashes such as Mariah Carey’s 6x-platinum “We Belong Together,” Usher’s 3x-platinum “Nice & Slow,” Xscape’s platinum “Just Kickin’ It,” his own “Money Ain’t A Thang” [feat. JAY-Z], and countless others. “We Belong Together” not only toppled the Billboard Hot 100 for the year, but it also emerged as “the song of the decade” and “fifteenth most popular song of all-time,” according to Billboard. It took home “Best R&B Song” and “Best Female R&B Vocal Performance” at the 2006 GRAMMY® Awards. At the helm of So So Def Recordings as Founder, he has built a catalog of classic albums, including those of Da Brat, the first solo female rapper to go platinum, debut and historic Funkdafied; Bow Wow’s double-platinum Beware of Dog; Jagged Edge’s double-platinum J.E. Heartbreak; Anthony Hamilton’s platinum Comin’ From Where I’m From; and more. Simultaneously, he has launched JD’s Vegan as a mega-popular plant-based ice cream alternative available in major retailers such as Walmart. Plus, he notably stands out as the second rapper inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame® following JAY-Z. Meanwhile, the GRAMMY® Museum paid homage to JD and So So Def with a dedicated exhibit entitled Jermaine Dupri & So So Def, 25 Years Of Elevating Culture. He has also appeared on-screen in the Aretha Franklin movie Respect, Hip-Hop Family Christmas, and Step Up. Speaking to his presence, Variety attested, “What isn’t recognized enough is his undeniable influence on the current cultural climate.” However, he never stops setting the pace for the entire game to follow.

ABOUT CURREN$Y:

Curren$y (a.k.a. Spitta Andretti) has cemented his status as an underground legend with his prolific and consistent output. The New Orleans vet is known for his refined taste and a straightforward yet sharp pen that he never seems to put down. Since his debut album, This Ain’t No Mixtape back in 2009, Curren$y has released countless studio albums, mixtapes, and collaborative projects with hip-hop heavyweights, including Wiz Khalifa, Freddie Gibbs, The Alchemist, and Harry Fraud. He’s also the CEO of Jet Life — which houses his record label, an apparel company, a cannabis business, and a slew of other endeavors.

The rise to success was slow and steady for Curren$y — he got started in 2002 after signing with Master P’s No Limit Records, before joining Cash Money Records and Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment, and made it through struggles with various labels before starting his own label; Jet Life Recordings. Over the years, his smart lyrics would catch the attention of fans and other artists alike, and along with prolific output in the form of solo mixtapes, Curren$y had high-profile collaborations with Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Future, Freddie Gibbs, Rick Ross, 2Chainz and many others. Curren$y’s cult-like fan base, long-standing career, and adaptable flows have undoubtedly dubbed him as one of the king’s of the underground.
