Teyana Taylor Bare Wit Me -New Video and The Album!
The Teyana Taylor Bare Wit Me music video just hits different! In a topsy turvy year, TT manages to give 2020 something to talk about in the realm of music. Her new visuals went VIRAL in a matter minutes, as fans debated whether Teyana is giving off more Michael Jackson or Janet Jackson vibes.
To be clear, the answer is both (Lol). Bare Wit Me easily jolts the mind back to the good ol’ days of MJ’s Smooth Criminal; as well as Janet’s Alright and I Get So Lonely music videos. We even had a few on our Instagram page say that the actual song reminds them of Aaliyah as well.
Aaliyah, well known for her whispering vocals, dancing and smooth R&B flair; we could also unbiasedly see the connection. However, the aspect that many can’t stop talking about is Teyana’s dancing. She hit EVERYTHING, cold and precisely. That kind of precision is what we’re used to seeing from the likes of Janet and the King of Pop.
Teyana Taylor Bare Wit Me -New Video and The Album!
Nevertheless, many have tried to mimic the style of music’s first family… but not everyone can do it and give their signature moves justice. Unless you’re the likes of Ciara, Chris Brown or Usher; well, come have a seat with the rest of us mortals. We love you, but the Jackson Moves Club can’t hold everybody.
Which is why Teyana’s latest is such an APPEAL. One of the most “underrated” artists by far in the game; can not only keep up with the greats but seriously looks like she has the potential to be ONE of them. It’s what we would call “talent.” An attribute that is often missing nowadays. Unfortunately.
But the love for Teyana is steadily pouring in. Here’s what some are saying:
“KILLIN!!!!!!!!!!! Brava!” -Jill Scott
“U BETTA MICHAEL!!” -Rah Digga
“MURDERED THIS.” -Chloe x Halle
“I watched this like 20 times. I have it on my phone but it hit different when it’s on IG lol.” -Iman Shumpert
“Here for this.” -Shaun Ross
“Go off sis.” -Tinashe
[Fire emojis] -Kandi Burress
Bare Wit Me- See It To Believe It
Bare Wit Me is a single from Teyana’s upcoming release, THE ALBUM. Already Highly anticipated; and this music video sneak peek is only heightening interest! Have you seen it? If not, check it out below or enjoy it all over again (we’ve probably watched it 561 times LOL):
As fans count down the days till THE ALBUM’s arrival (June 2020) it will be fun as well as interesting to see what else Teyana drops to get the masses ready for her album. If this is any of idea what we all can expect; then we foresee Taylor becoming one of the big acts and Artists of 2020!

Normani Motivation Dropping 8.16 -Surprises and What to Expect!
When you thought you could not wait ANY longer. Normani finally hits us all with the announcement… that THE Normani Motivation single will be finally dropping this very here month! Fans, colleagues of melanin and fellow lovers of good music please save the date. All the fire and newness shall hit our ears on August 16th!
Yet, that is not all! There is a pretty cool surprise that comes along with this release. AND it all went down behind the scenes… sort of. Read on to find out.
Normani Motivation Dropping 8.16 -Save the Date Y’all!
Why Normani, just why (LOL)? Why has it taken till August for this?! Like many others, we love this girl’s high energy performances and music; but sometimes it feels like we are playing the waiting game. However, she heard her fans pleas; and is putting us out of our music misery this summer and giving us something new to listen to.
Now as we all know the wait most likely is do the fact that Normani has just been seriously busy. This year, the singer basically has been on tour with music bestie, Ariana Grande. This is where it gets interesting!
Did you know that Normani’s new song Motivation has a very high profile co-writer? SAY WHAT?! Yes, word on the not so quiet street is that Motivation is also penned by the queen of the ponytail herself, Ariana Grande!
With Grande giving us plenty of 2019 heat and Thank You Next memes; we can be confident that Motivation is going to be just as major. Music journal, Rolling Stone confirmed the news from the former Fifth Harmony member. Here’s excerpt from that exclusive with Normani talking away about Ariana and her coming aboard Motivation! She says,
“She’s been very supportive of me too. I talk to her about the creative process. ‘I’m like, ‘When did you know your album was done?’ She was just like, ‘Honestly, you’ll know. Nobody will have to tell you. You’ll feel it. Just trust your instinct; trust your gut. And listen to that voice inside you; and it’ll tell you that you’re done. Just take your time, too, and have fun in the process and make sure that it’s something that you love.’
She’s dope. She also has a part in the record that I’m releasing, too. She wrote on it.”
We love this duo, so the fact that they decided to team up on a song; is just everything. From road mates to song mates, it’s awesome to see two awesome artists come together to make magic in the studio.
Motivation -The Single
This new release by Normani is BIG. It marks the beginning of an era for the budding solo artist. No not a collab, but just the stylings of Normani. Due to this many fans have been wondering what kind of sound to expect.
Normani wants one and all to know it will not be like what they are used to. For instance, the singer’s smash with Sam Smith, Dancing with a Stranger, had a very “dark”… moody, yet melodic vibe to it. Yet, Motivation will not follow in the same footsteps.
Expect high energy, Normani wants you to get up and dance! In a recent interview Normani reveals,
“I recorded this song a while back. And it’s crazy because, I’ll be on Twitter; and fans will be like, ‘Sis, where’s the new music? Where’s the new music?’ I’m like, ‘Guys, it’s coming, promise it’s coming.’
I shot the video probably a month ago. It’s going to be worth the wait… It’s an upbeat [song]. It [is] a feel good song record. I think that everybody will really love it. It was the first opportunity that I had to have fun.
I think that people have been waiting for me to have fun and I’ve had so many records like ‘Waves’ and ‘Love Lies’ and Sam Smith’s ‘Dancing With a Stranger;’ which are a little bit more R&B smooth sailing.”
Our Take on Motivation
Smart move young lady. If Normani was just another studio slash ballad singer; then fine, a slower chrooner song would of been lit. HOWEVER, that is not the case here. Normani is 23. She is a 23 year old performer; scratch that, she is an entertainer honey!
Heck, for some time now Normani has even been compared to the queen herself, Beyoncé. A comparison that usually spells death to the career of any female attempting to make the claim. Nevertheless, Normani bypasses all beyhive hate and is continuously gaining more fans and respect.
With that being said, a fast paced song is totally the way to go here. Since people like to move, people like shake; they like to get there like the sidewalk is a club!
Furthermore, this will also highlight Normani’s range. Yes, she can bring tears to our eyes with her hauntingly beautiful vocals on a R&B track. But she can also make us dip in the knees and shake what our mamas may or may not have blessed us with (lol).
We love that Normani is deciding to show the world that she is the next big thing. She can sing. She can dance. Plus, she can put together an album that excites the masses. Something that seems to really be missing in the industry as of late.
Winning and Moving On Up
New song, new video, who dis? While the countdown may be on for Motivation. That does not mean that Normani still is not out here making waves. The girl is steadily collecting major hardware!
All of this new music news comes on the heels of the 2019 Teen Choice Awards. Normani won big taking home 2 awards. What did she win for? Normani won under the categories of: Choice R&B Hip/Hop Artist as well as Choice Pop Song.
The girl is simply on fire this year and we can’t wait to see what else she has up her sleeves. Congrats on the awards and the new single Normani!

The Cardi B Press Single as well as accompanying artwork just dropped, and already they have the people talking! Leave to Cardi B, a woman in the industry who is seemingly becoming the new “Madonna” …
Cardi B and Bruno Mars Please Me Enters Old School R&B Realm
The Cardi B and Bruno Mars Promise Me release is officially the jam that will have a whole new crop of babies born by November! Like for real, this song is definitely and ode to the era of R&B that had the masses screaming to their radios; and begging their baby to give them one more chance.
Cardi B and Bruno Mars Promise Me Enters Old School R&B Realm
Already, Please Me is going down in the music books. It is now the first song by a female rapper to reach number one on U.S. iTunes for 2019. Also, it sold 18,000 pure digital sales in its first 12 hours of release; making it a real contender to appear and debut in the Billboard Hot 100 top 5. Moreover, something tells us this is only beginning for Promise Me.
This is the second meet up for Cardi and Bruno on a hit record. Their first “Finesse” was an instant success. Finesse is the epitome of house parties with a mix of fun upbeat early 90’s vibes.
Since Bruno and Cardi went old school on Finesse; then there really is no surprise that the two would visit that arena for their latest collaboration. Nevertheless, as soon as Please Me dropped, Twitter ERUPTED. Fan reaction was all basically positive with many saying it is already the best song of 2019 so far.
Cardi B and Bruno Mars Promise Me Enters Old School R&B Realm (Continued)
Here are some fan reactions we picked through social media:
“Bruno Mars and Cardi B NEED to release a full album together.”
“I want a version with just Bruno lol.”
“THIS SONG IS SO FIRE.”
“Bruno did that!”
“NICE!!! Sounds old school. They collabe VERY WELL TOGETHER!! Bruno’s vocal though.”
“The melody is definitely Jodeci, I’m glad Cardi game them a shout out!”
“Bruno always brings that good ole 90’s RnB vibe.”
“I can’t wait to hear the clean version they can play on the radio. I think I will love it then.”
“Adding to my mix. Love this song!”
“I think we all agree that Finesse was a much better song and honestly Bruno’s voice saves this song cause without it the song would fall kinda flat.”
“Whew Lawd.”
