Jet Life RecordsAlia Fleury’s lead single from her debut EP, “C.U.B.,” is here and features a verse from Curren$y.
New Orleans singer Alia Fleury has released her debut EP, Letters to Him, on Curren$y‘s Jet Life Records. The rapper is also featured on the EP’s lead single, “C.U.B.” The song, like much of the six-track EP, deals with themes of relationships and breakups. Fleury says that her hometown had a big influence on her growing up with regard to her music.
“There’s always music around you inspiring you to get involved in it,” she said in a press release. “If it’s in your heart, if you have a love for music, then you’re always going to be inspired living here because it’s everywhere you walk down the street, somebody is playing the saxophone on the corner.”
Check out “C.U.B.” below.
Quotable Lyrics:
It’s cool, tit for tat, we could play that
Your best friend pulling up, I’ma hit you right back
Oh you can’t believe I did that
I’m thinking me and you and her, she saying she’s with that -

Lyrica Anderson Recruits Tory Lanez For “Act A Fool (Remix)”
2021 Riveting Music, exclusive license to Beatroot, LLCTory Lanez taps into his melodic side for Lyrica Anderson’s “Act A Fool (REMIX)”.
Lyrica Anderson has long been a staple of the R&B scene since she popped up in the early 2010s, though she continues to thrive with every release. Now, she’s enlisting the help of Tory Lanez for “Act A Fool (Remix).” The original “Act A Fool” stands on its own as an elegant and impressive slow jam, full of atmospheric production and Anderson’s impressive vocal range. However, with the help of Tory Lanez, the duo might have an intimate and romantic classic on their hands. Anderson’s vocal ability itself is enough to fall in love with the track. The R&B veteran needs no help from the production to fill out empty spaces as she riffs across the track with grace and shows off the infinite limits of her vocal range. Her almost eager tone fits well with the lyrics, which finds Anderson holding herself out for a lover who she hopes is doing the same.
Lanez only serves to complement Anderson’s verse and chorus with his own versatile performance. It’s always a nice surprise when Lanez substitutes his hard-hitting rapping ability for the more soft and high-pitched singing talent he so easily pulls off. He begins his verse following the lead of Anderson, though shocks as he tunes into a compelling half-singing and half-rapping passage. Oftentimes, it’s hard to decide whether to cry or start head-banging.
“Act A Fool (REMIX)” is sure to be an impressive collection to your R&B playlist. Check it out below, as well as our R&B SEASON playlist on Spotify.
Quotable Lyrics:
So if you wanna act a fool
Baby I can act up too
Heard you out here breaking rules
Playing games I can’t lose -

SydTwo ladies and a Bronco.
It felt like Syd took some musical time off after her solo debut Fin, but she came back earlier this year with the single “Missing Out.” Fans can rejoice because yet another single and music video from the talented artist has arrived. Entitled “Fast Car,” Syd’s new track is a ballad, a sensual smooth single. The song comes along with accompanying visuals. In the music video, Syd and her lover ride around in a Bronco. “I wanted to make something for the gay Black girls. I want them to see themselves in this and in me,” stated Syd about “Fast Car.” The track is relaxing to vibe to, and definitely chill to smoke to. And the celebration of love makes “Fast Car” that much better.
Quotable Lyrics
Help me take my seatbelt off
And put it in park, babe
We gon’ piss some people off
But right now that’s where we belong
Right here in your fast car
