NEW RELEASES
Chris Brown is back with a new single and it features Bryson Tiller, one of his Breezy Bowl XX openers. "It Depends" is raunchy and a tad sleazy as both R&B powerhouses belt out smooth vocals over an USHER sample. Producers Nico Baran and RIOTUSA (Ice Spice) took some of the chorus from his 1997 track "Nice & Slow and slowed them down for a more sensual feel.
Breezy and Tiller trade verses about wanting to give women on their respective radars passionate loving. However, it sounds like both of them are going after ones that are already involved with someone else. For example, the Kentucky native croons, "Shawty wanna come find out what's good with me (What's good? What's good?) / Well, girl, it all depends on what you need at night, hey / She wan' do, I heard he let you go free at night."
In general, it's nothing too out there for either artist, but they do display some nice chemistry, which they have done on several occasions.
This is now the second track to arrive amid Chris' aforementioned world tour, which is currently on a couple-week long hiatus. Brown is done with the first/Europe leg and has been since July 5. In five days, he will be coming back to North America.
Quotable Lyrics:
You bad as hell, I treat you well, I will
It's good, I can tell, come give me hell, come here
Your fairytale, under your spell, I am
She get Chanel, oh, when it all depends (Oh yeah, baby)
You screaming "Yeah", can't call for help from here (No)
You leaving welts, I feel your nails, for real
Anyone hoping Tyler The Creator is about to release a full jazz album may want to lower their expectations. The Odd Future founder has long incorporated jazz elements into both his music and production style. No matter which creative direction he chooses for a project, traces of jazz can be heard throughout much of his discography. Because of that, many fans have spent years wondering what it would sound like if he fully embraced the genre for an entire album.
Recent hints have sparked speculation that new music could be on the horizon. However, when an Instagram account suggested that a "new era" was approaching and claimed Tyler would dive further into his jazz influences, the rapper quickly dismissed the rumor. "not at all lol and do not get stuck on this idea please," he responded.
One reason fans began theorizing about a possible new project was a subtle update to Tyler's Instagram bio. According to Complex, the bio now says, "Satchmo, Sag Harbor," a phrase that appears to reference Louis Armstrong's famous nickname, Satchmo, as well as Sag Harbor, New York, a village known for serving as a refuge for Black families during the Jim Crow era.
While there is still no confirmation that Tyler will release new music this year, fans can look forward to the return of Camp Flog Gnaw. The annual festival is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles on November 14 and 15. As is tradition, the full lineup has not yet been announced, but Tyler's attention to detail and track record with the event suggest attendees will have plenty to be excited about.
We will continue sharing any developments involving Tyler The Creator as they emerge. In the meantime, fans remain hopeful that new music will eventually arrive as a follow up to Chromakopia and Don’t Tap The Glass. Check out his comments above and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
