NxWorries is one of the most experimental duos working today. The pairing of Anderson .Paak and producer Knxwledge has resulted in some fascinating blends of hip-hop, funk and R&B, and the duo continue to hit the target with their latest single, "WalkOnBy." While it shares the title with a classic Dionne Warwick single, "WalkOnBy" is a wholly original piece with vocals from Anderson .Paak and stellar guest contributions from Earl Sweatshirt and Rae Khalil.
.Paak holds down the bulk of the song, including the chorus and the first verse, but the guest artists really make the song pop. Earl Sweatshirt doesn't dish out too many features these days, but the beat is perfectly suited to his sleepy, hyper-articulate wordplay. He sounds effortlessly wistful over the soulful strings. Rae Khalil comes through on the back end of "WalkOnBy" to add to the emotional thrust of the song. She provides the most soulful vocals here, and .Paak's rasp makes for a perfect compliment. Rae Khalil won a Grammy for working on .Paak's 2021 single "Lockdown," so it's obvious these two know how to make music sound special. NxWorries do it again. No surprise here.

Quotable Lyrics:
You mad I made lucrative ties
You in a bind
I'm not, so you feelin' tight
Exuberant heights, the flight long
I'm too busy fried for you and your plight

Panic! At The Disco are preparing to release a special deluxe anniversary edition of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.
The I Write Sins Not Tragedies icons marked the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking 2005 debut album during their performance at When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas over the weekend, and have now confirmed the new edition.
On January 23, the group — originally formed by Brendon Urie, Spencer Smith, Ryan Ross and Brent Wilson — will unveil a limited edition box set that features a remastered version of the record.
The package, priced at £164.99 and available for pre-order, includes 11 unreleased demos and a vinyl pressing of 2006’s Live In Denver. The full live set has also been uploaded to YouTube.
On the band’s UK store, they shared a message:
“To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Panic! At The Disco’s seminal debut album, this limited edition box set brings together a comprehensive time capsule celebrating the record's impact.
This release includes the original album remastered for the first time ever, 11 unreleased demos, plus the legendary 2006 Live In Denver performance — never before released on vinyl or CD.
The box set also includes a 12-page zine with never before seen photos from the era, a sticker set, a door hanger, and a paper doll set.”
By 2023, the band had essentially become a solo project for Urie. Their final show was held in Manchester, UK, where the frontman said: “Sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin.
“We’ve been trying to keep it to ourselves, though some of you may have heard… Sarah and I are expecting a baby very soon!
The prospect of being a father and getting to watch my wife become a mother is both humbling and exciting. I look forward to this next adventure.”
Panic! returned to the stage at WWWY over the weekend, performing A Fever You Can't Sweat Out in full alongside fan favorites like This Is Gospel and Nine in the Afternoon.
To end the night, they performed I Write Sins Not Tragedies once again, as Smith reunited with Urie for the emotional closing moment.
