R&B icon and former Blackstreet lead vocalist Dave Hollister has officially ended a 10-year hiatus from solo music, announcing his signing to the revamped Death Row Records in partnership with gamma. To mark the career milestone, Hollister released his new single, “Thought You Knew”.

The track serves as Hollister’s first solo release since 2016’s The MANuscript and signals a high-profile homecoming to the West Coast label where his career first began as a featured vocalist.

Hollister’s signing to Death Row Records, now under the leadership of Snoop Dogg, represents a significant full-circle moment in music history. Long before his multi-platinum success with Blackstreet or his solo hits like “One Woman Man,” Hollister was an integral part of the early Death Row sound.

His soulful melodies provided the emotional backbone for some of Tupac Shakur’s most enduring classics, including “Keep Ya Head Up” and “Brenda’s Got a Baby.” By joining the current roster, Hollister bridges the label’s legendary hip-hop heritage with its new focus on “elevated grown-man R&B.”

Produced by Snoop Dogg and Julio Ulloa, “Thought You Knew” finds Hollister returning to the sophisticated, soulful storytelling that earned him the moniker “The Ghetto Preacher.”

Since his departure from Blackstreet in the mid-90s, Hollister has maintained a legacy as a cornerstone of authentic R&B. His gold-certified albums Ghetto Hymns and Chicago ’85… The Movie solidified his reputation for navigating the complexities of love, accountability, and the human experience.

While specific album details remain under wraps, the release of “Thought You Knew” is expected to lead into a full-length project under Death Row Records. Hollister, who has recently performed as part of the R&B supergroup The Chi (alongside Carl Thomas and Syleena Johnson), is also rumored to be preparing for a series of solo tour dates later this summer.

“Thought You Knew” is available now on all major streaming platforms via Death Row Records / gamma.

The “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul,” Mary J. Blige, has returned with her second solo offering of 2026, a mid-tempo anthem titled “Want Love.” Released today via Beautiful Life Productions, the track serves as a definitive statement on the singer’s current emotional landscape, arriving just weeks before she is set to make history with her first-ever Las Vegas residency.

Produced by longtime collaborator DJ Camper, “Want Love” marks a stylistic shift from Blige’s February release, “More Than A Lover.” While her previous single leaned into traditional piano-driven R&B, “Want Love” utilizes a more minimal, atmospheric production featuring warm synth chords and steady, programmed percussion.

True to her three-decade legacy of transparency, Blige uses “Want Love” to outline her non-negotiables in a partner. The lyrics emphasize a woman who is unwilling to settle, with a chorus that acts as a direct mandate:

“I want somebody who makes me feel like everything / I want want love, want love, want love / I don’t want nobody that won’t fight for me / I want want love, want love, want love.”

The song is accompanied by a sleek, performance-led music video directed by Nico Scandiffio. Shot on the rooftop of 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, the visual features Blige performing against the New York City skyline—a nod to her roots and a visual sequel to the aesthetic established in her previous video earlier this year.

The release of “Want Love” provides a significant momentum boost as Blige prepares for her residency debut at Dolby Live at Park MGM on May 1. Titled “My Life, My Story,” the 10-show engagement is designed to be an immersive journey through her storied career.

“I’ve been so excited to announce this Vegas residency. Creating a show like this has been something I’ve always wanted to do,” Blige shared in a recent statement. “It’s a chance to get my fans together… to experience something together. My Life, My Story will be just that—with some surprises for my fans.”

While 2024’s Gratitude was rumored to be Blige’s final studio album, her 2026 output suggests a renewed creative era. In addition to her new music and upcoming world tour, her presence in film continues to grow:

“Be Happy”: Her latest Lifetime original film premiered on February 7, starring Tisha Campbell and Mekhi Phifer.

Preservation of R&B: Her ongoing work with DJ Camper (who produced “Thick of It” and “Love Yourself”) continues to solidify her position as a contemporary force in the genre.”Want Love” is available now on all major streaming platforms. Fans can find information regarding the Las Vegas residency and the upcoming 2026 world tour through official ticketing outlets.

Multi-platinum musician and six-time Grammy Award winner PJ Morton has officially returned to the solo spotlight, launching a dual-single rollout that highlights the stylistic duality of his career. Following his 22nd career Grammy nomination earlier this year, Morton released the R&B-infused single “Mutual” via Morton Records / SRG-ILS Group, with the gospel-inspired track “Mercy” scheduled for release this Friday, April 10.

The new music follows a celebratory week for the New Orleans native, who recently marked his birthday with a series of performances at Los Angeles’ Blue Note, featuring guest appearances by Stevie Wonder, Ledisi, and J. Ivy.

Morton, who spent much of the previous year collaborating with a diverse roster of artists—including Angelique Kidjo, Moonchild, and Lil Wayne—noted that 2026 represents a year of unrestricted creative exploration.

“I took some time last year to get inspired about new solo music,” Morton stated. “I’ve been fortunate enough to create in so many different spaces. This year I want to explore all of those fully with no limits.”

The release of “Mutual” and “Mercy” underscores Morton’s unique position in the industry as both a secular R&B star and a “preacher’s kid” with deep roots in the church. This versatility has seen him perform everywhere from traditional Sunday services to the Super Bowl Halftime Show as the longtime keyboardist for Maroon 5.

Both tracks were produced by Morton at his Studio In The Country in Bogalusa, Louisiana. The historic 20-acre facility has hosted icons such as Stevie Wonder, Willie Nelson, and Trent Reznor. Morton is currently leading efforts to preserve the rural campus as a landmark for musical history.

The new singles arrive as Morton continues to break industry barriers. He recently became the first Black composer to write an original song for a Disney attraction. His career, which bridges African influences, pop success, and traditional gospel, continues to be defined by his ability to navigate the intersections of faith, race, and culture.

“Mutual” is currently available on all streaming platforms, while “Mercy” is available for digital pre-save ahead of its April 10 debut.

Grammy Award-winning music producers and songwriters Bryan-Michael Cox and Johntá Austin have expanded their creative partnership to the digital broadcasting space with the launch of a new YouTube podcast, Sessions.

Available now, the platform is designed to offer audiences direct access to the stories and voices behind modern R&B and contemporary music culture.

Billed as a gathering place for the architects of modern music, Sessions will transition into a steady, twice-weekly release schedule following its recent debut episode:

Tuesdays: Dedicated to guest interviews featuring prominent producers, songwriters, and industry executives. Slated guests include influential figures such as Dallas Austin, Jermaine Dupri, and Troy Taylor.

Thursdays: Focused on host-led dialogues. Cox and Austin will unpack behind-the-scenes stories and share their firsthand perspectives on the craft, business, and evolution of the music industry.

Both Cox and Austin emphasized that the show is deeply personal, rooted in their extensive collaborative history rather than standard broadcasting.

“For us, this goes beyond just getting behind a mic. It is about capturing the journey, the stories and the impact of the music and culture that shaped us,” Cox stated. “What Johntá and I share is rooted in real history, real collaboration and real respect… Sessions is simply an extension of that, giving people a seat at the table to experience it with us.”

Austin echoed the sentiment, describing the venture as an extension of a 25-year friendship.

“Sessions is an investment and love letter to a genre and culture that has literally changed our lives, so there’s no one I’d rather be sitting across from talking R&B with other than my brother, Bryan Michael-Cox,” Austin said.

The duo brings decades of top-tier industry experience to the microphone, bridging production and songwriting at the highest levels:

Acclaimed singer-songwriter India Shawn has officially announced her upcoming EP, SUBJECT TO CHANGE, scheduled for release on May 1 via VANTA Music. The announcement coincides with the debut of her latest single, “Rain On Me,” which serves as the artist’s first solo release of 2026.

Produced by Grammy and Oscar-winning producer D’Mile, “Rain On Me” features acoustic guitar arrangements paired with a driving bassline. Shawn describes the track as an exploration of abundance and security in love, focusing on the experience of being fully valued by a partner.

Acclaimed singer-songwriter and producer Jozzy has officially released her highly anticipated debut studio album, Soundtrack 2 Get Her Back, via BMG. The 16-track project arrives as a cinematic R&B narrative, exploring the emotional complexities of reconciliation, accountability, and the pursuit of a lasting relationship.

The album rollout includes the premiere of the official music video for “True 2 Me,” which is available now alongside the full digital release.

The project is distinguished by a high-profile roster of guest artists, bridging the gap between contemporary R&B and the genre’s legacy icons. Key collaborations on the album include:

“Lucky” featuring Mary J. Blige

“Superman’s Weakness” featuring Chris Brown

“F@ck Slow Jams” featuring Jeremih

“Lonely Room” featuring Jon B.

“Maybe” featuring Keyon Harrold

The inclusion of these artists provides a cross-generational depth to the project, supporting Jozzy’s signature style of blending early 2000s nostalgia with modern production.

Structured to unfold like a motion picture score, Soundtrack 2 Get Her Back uses each track as a specific scene within a larger emotional arc. The album balances introspective, vulnerable moments in songs like “Santa Monica Bar” with more confident declarations of growth and self-awareness.

With 16 tracks that range from soul-baring reflections to polished contemporary R&B, the album serves as a definitive statement in Jozzy’s artistic journey. Soundtrack 2 Get Her Back is currently available on all major streaming and download platforms.

YouKnowIGotSoul had a chance to talk to R&B veteran Shanice about her discography as well as the residency that she is involved in with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. The talented vocalist has been going strong for almost 40 years now and she’s showing no signs of slowing down as she revealed to us that she will also be recording some new music in the near future too. We also had a chance to talk to Shanice about her classic single “I Love Your Smile” and the longevity that the song has experienced especially with Chris Brown sampling it on “Undecided” which introduced it to a new generation of fans.

YouKnowIGotSoul: I want to start off by talking about this Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis residency that you’re a part of. How did that all come about for you?

Shanice: Well, I’ve been knowing Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis probably since the beginning of my career. And I’ve always been a big fan. I’ve always wanted to work with them. And just like over the years, it just never happened. Not because they didn’t want it to happen and not because I didn’t want it to happen. But you have record companies involved and there’s schedules. It just wasn’t the right time. But recently I ran into Jimmy Jam, and he said, “We’re going to be doing some shows. Would you like to sing with us?”. And I was like “Absolutely”. So they reached out to me, and the first show I did with them was in Minneapolis. We did a big festival in Minneapolis, and I got to sing with Ruben Studdard, who’s going to be with us in Vegas as well. And it went really well. And so they called me again, and we just did Japan. We did Tokyo and Osaka. So that was really cool. And it went from Tokyo to Vegas. And I’m excited because we’re going to get in the studio too and do some music. So I’m really looking forward to that as well.

YouKnowIGotSoul: And I know you don’t take any of this for granted. You’ve been in the industry for so many years now, and you’re still going. How does it feel to know that your talents are still being recognized at this point?

Shanice: Let me tell you, I am so grateful and I’m so grateful that after so many years, I’m still able to do what I love. So I don’t take any of this for granted. Like, when I hear my song on the radio today, I still get excited as if it’s like the first time. So it never gets old. I love it. I’m excited. I almost feel like a new artist, even though I’ve been doing it forever because I’m just that excited about it. So I just want to say thank you to all the fans for following me over the years, because if it wasn’t for their support, I wouldn’t be able to do what I love. So thank you so much for supporting me.

YouKnowIGotSoul: For sure. And obviously I don’t want to age you here, but your debut is going to be turning 40 next year.

Shanice: Oh my gosh. Are you serious? I feel old.

YouKnowIGotSoul: But it also speaks to your longevity in this game and just going through your journey. How would you sum up the career so far and the highs and the lows? But even thinking back to early on, that must feel like another lifetime ago for you, just all that you’ve experienced.

Shanice: When I think of my first album, it doesn’t even feel like it was that long ago. So when you said it’s going to be 40 years, I’m like, “Are you kidding me?”. It really feels like maybe 10-15 years ago in my brain. So it doesn’t feel like it was that long ago. I can’t believe how fast time is flying. But I just want to say Bryan Loren produced that album, and we just recently found out that he passed away. So when I think of my first album, he’s going to always have a place in my heart. He did an amazing job. He produced the entire album. He played every instrument on every song, wrote every song and produced my vocals. I was 14 at the time, and I didn’t know anything about recording. And I worked on some songs when I was 11 with Tina. I actually worked with Tina Marie before I worked with him. But that song didn’t come out. I did a whole album that was never released. But I learned a lot from Bryan Loren, and that album is going to always have a special place in my heart.

YouKnowIGotSoul: “Love Your Smile is one of those songs that’s stamped in R&B history. I know you’ve mentioned previously that that it wasn’t a song that you wanted to put out initially as a single. The label kind of convinced you to go that route. But as you’ve seen the success of that song over the years now, at what point did you kind of realize that it was going to be one of those songs that would never go away?

Shanice: In the beginning, I love the song. I just didn’t think it was the right first single. And like I said in another interview, I always wanted to be a rapper. So I thought it was too soft because I used to listen to some Salt-N-Pepa, MC Lyte and Queen Latifah. And so I was like, “This isn’t hard”. But after I got my Grammy nomination and I started traveling the world, that’s when I knew I was like, “Okay, I guess I was wrong. This was definitely the right first single”. I didn’t know that after so many years it would still be around, but when I used to travel the world and I got nominated for a Grammy, I knew that this must be a hit because I’m doing a lot of work. I knew it was a hit after I got my Grammy nomination and I got to travel the world.

YouKnowIGotSoul: Chris Brown obviously sampled you a couple years back on “Undecided”. Was that cool to see, to see another generation of fans gravitating towards something that you helped write?

Shanice: Yes. When Chris Brown reached out, I was so excited because I’m a Chris Brown fan. So yeah, it’s a whole new generation that’s singing my song. And it’s such a good feeling because it’s so unexpected. I really didn’t expect this generation to know my song after so many years to be singing “I Love Your Smile”. So shout out to Chris Brown. Thank you so much for introducing it to this new generation.

YouKnowIGotSoul: I got to give a shout out to my guys Tim and Bob. They helped produce “I’ll Be There” off your third album. That’s my favorite song by you because it’s such a magical record. What do you remember about creating it with Tim & Bob?

Shanice: I loved working with Tim & Bob. The one thing I loved about them is they love to do a lot of harmonies and stack backgrounds. I love stacking my backgrounds. Some people don’t like and when I say stack for people that don’t know about those who are watching that don’t know about studio stuff, you sing one note and you sing it four times. And then you sing the next note and then you sing it four times and then they piece it all together and that’s what makes it sound really full. Some producers don’t like to, so they may stack maybe twice. But Tim & Bob, I love the way they produce their vocals. And I had such a great time because we worked so fast together. And I definitely want to do more music with them for sure. And what’s crazy, when I was working with them, I didn’t know they were new guys. Like, they were so dope to work with because they had such a great ear and they knew exactly what they wanted. It didn’t take us days to complete one song. And so I thought that I didn’t know I was one of the first. This is something I’m learning today. But I really had a great time working with them. Like I said, vocally, we had a lot of the same ideas. So when they vocal produced me, I kind of was like we were on the same page. So I love them.

YouKnowIGotSoul: What kept you grounded throughout your career? Because it’s easy, especially early on, to get caught up in all of this. But from what it seemed like on the outside, you just enjoyed making music and that’s what it was about for you.

Shanice: Thank you. What kept me grounded? I just I feel like when people change, they obviously had that in them to begin with. And then the success just brought out who they were all along. I’ve never been the type of person that was like I don’t like even when “I Love Your Smile” was number one, I was traveling the world. I’ve never felt different than anybody else. So I think that’s why I stayed humble because I just I felt like everyone else. I didn’t feel like I was better or anything like that. I think what people change is because that was just how that’s just how they are. So and that’s not me. And I’m just doing what I love to do. And I’m just grateful. I think it’s because also because of the way I was raised. I always had great support from my family. I grew up in church. So I thank God for all the blessings that I have.

YouKnowIGotSoul: I want to fast forward to your self titled album on LaFace. I feel like that album is one of those hidden R&B gems. I don’t know if everyone caught it at the time. But when I listen to that album now, there are a lot of good songs on there and you sound top tier on those Babyface songs. Just talk about that album and that missed opportunity. Because I feel like if it was pushed properly, it could have taken you to another lane there.

Shanice: I was so excited to be on LaFace and to work with Babyface and LA Reid. It was such a great time. I was very pleased with the album. I felt like there was a lot of songs on there that should have gotten a fair chance, but it didn’t. So “When I Close My Eyes”, they really pushed that one. But then after that single, it was like the push wasn’t as strong. And there was a song I did called “Yesterday” that Justin Timberlake liked so much that I opened up for NSYNC years ago, he said “Can I sing that song with you on stage?” so we turned it into a duet and did it live together. That was one of my favorite songs on the album. That didn’t really get the right push. So I was a little disappointed that they didn’t push it like they probably should have. But I want to give a shout out to all the producers that worked with me on that album because that’s actually one of my favorite albums. And thank you to LA and Babyface for even giving me the opportunity.

YouKnowIGotSoul: And you kind of blew us mind with the fact that you did it on another podcast. And I had to hit up my guy Damon Thomas to confirm this. “Never Gonna Let You Go” by Faith Evans was originally created for you?

Shanice: Yes, it was. Damon Thomas wrote “Never Gonna Let You Go” by Faith Evans at my house on my keyboard. And it was actually written for me. But the label said “No, we are going to give it to Faith” which is great because Faith is one of my good friends. She killed the record, it was obviously meant for her. But the song was definitely it was originally written for me by Damon Thomas.

YouKnowIGotSoul: Did you end up cutting that song?

Shanice: No, I was just with him when he was writing the song, but we never got to record it because as soon as Babyface heard it, he was like “No, I think this one fits Faith”.

YouKnowIGotSoul: And just to wrap things up, I got to give you props because as you went independent, one thing that you did which I thought was really brilliant is you started posting YouTube covers of songs. And I think it really reminded people that Shanice is out here singing with great vocals. Just talk about that era for you, being independent, trying to figure things out after being in the major system for so long. What was that like for you?

Shanice: I did that as a test. I have a cousin of mine. He is the one that told me to do that. Because after I left LaFace, I had a new baby. I just got married. And I was trying to figure things out. And I wasn’t sure people even wanted to still hear me sing. So after I started singing covers, I started getting a lot of views. And I’m like “Wait a minute”. I am sitting here trying to be on the major label and the fans obviously still want to hear me sing. So it was actually it gave me like a boost. It gave me the boost that I needed to get back out there and just put out my own music and start touring. So I want to say again thank you to the fans for that. Because I was at a point at that time, I was seriously thinking about just not singing anymore. Because the industry was just so cutthroat. And I just didn’t enjoy it. But I have always loved singing. So I said I love to sing. And obviously the fans still want to hear me. So I am not going to stop. So doing those YouTube videos gave me the push to keep going.

YouKnowIGotSoul: No, and I got to commend you for that. Because it does not seem like ego has ever been a big thing for you. Even during your hiatus, at times you were singing backgrounds for Toni Braxton, for Usher. I can just tell you just love singing. And that is what it has been about for you.

Shanice: I just love singing. And that is the thing. You have to do it for the love. I think some people get into the business for the wrong reasons. They think I just want to be famous. And I want money. Aall of that will come and that is great because of course we all need to have money. But you have to do it for the love. And then all the other things, the money and all that, will eventually come along. I think a lot of people do it for the wrong reasons.

The R&B icon Ne-Yo has officially kicked off a new musical era with the release of his high-energy single, “Up Out & Gone.” Dropped on March 27, 2026, the track serves as an unapologetic celebration of nightlife, nightlife escapism, and communal joy. Accompanied by a vibrant neon-soaked visualizer, “Up Out & Gone” arrives as Ne-Yo continues to influence the contemporary R&B landscape with his trademark blend of soulful melodies and danceable rhythms.

“Up Out & Gone” is an atmospheric record designed for the “golden hour” of the night. Lyrically, Ne-Yo navigates the thrill of anticipation and the desire for unforgettable experiences. The song’s hook, featuring a driving “rubbery bass” and sharp hi-hats, emphasizes a sense of motion and movement, making it an instant “sing-along” for fans of his classic sound.

“I need a kind of night that I can’t remember, I need a kind of night that I won’t forget,” Ne-Yo sings, capturing the dual nature of a night out where vulnerability meets bold self-expression.

The official visualizer mirrors the song’s warmth and nostalgia, featuring a series of cinematic neon signs that illuminate a “nocturnal magic.” The imagery—ranging from a “cocktails” sign to a “mini golf” marquee—complements the track’s playful confidence and reinforces the theme of being “really outside”.

The track builds on Ne-Yo’s recent momentum and showcases his continued ability to deliver records that feel both nostalgic and very much of the moment.

Multi-platinum R&B artist Tank has reached a new career milestone, officially securing his 11th No. 1 single on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart with the hit “Control”. The track, which draws inspiration from Janet Jackson’s classic of the same name, has been praised for its ability to blend nostalgic elements with a contemporary R&B sound.

In addition to his musical success, Tank is set to join the fourth season of the hit Hulu drama Reasonable Doubt. He will portray Eric Cropper, a high-profile R&B star and a long-term client of lead character Jax, played by Emayatzy Corinealdi.

The artist’s momentum continues as he recently participated in the anticipated Verzuz battle against fellow R&B veteran Tyrese. The matchup has been hailed by fans as a significant celebration of the genre, pitting two of its most enduring voices against one another.

With a dominant presence across music charts, streaming television, and live performance platforms, Tank continues to solidify his position as a primary force in the modern R&B landscape.
