Lloyd gets struck with an arrow by “Cupid” on the new single from his fourth album King of Hearts, due April 19. On the Polow Da Don production, the ladies’ man coos about falling for his girl after Cupid makes him his target. “I don’t want to waste another moment/ It’s just me and you girl, and Cupid has done it again/ Got my head spinning around and around and around,” he sings over the sultry arrangement.
Chris Brown gets animated on the cover for his fourth album F.A.M.E., dropping March 22. The artwork, designed by Ron English, boasts a portrait of the singer striking a serious pose, while two identical images of Breezy sporting a baseball cap face opposite directions on each shoulder. The “No BS” singer, who tore the house down this past weekend on “Saturday Night Live,” is currently working his dual single release “Look at Me Now” and “Yeah 3X,” both of which will appear on the final tracklist.
Snoop Dogg goes “Platinum” with R. Kelly on the latest release from his Puff Puff Pass Tuesdays series and upcoming album Doggumentary. With its splotchy beat and slow-rolling drums, the Lex Luger production sets off with a club-geared verse from Kellz, who throws it to Snoop for a fast-paced rhyme about living a lavish life. “My rap is that/ My Cadillac is drippin’ wet/ You can bet, turn it up, roll it up, burn it up,” he spits.
Timbaland loses his mind on this week’s installment of Timbaland Thursdays, releasing “Mentally” featuring his Shock Value collaborator Lyrica Anderson. Throwing some Auto-Tune on his vocals, Timbo reflects on how his relationship took a turn for the worse. “Where did the lovin’ go?/ We really need to end this war/ I swear this feels like a game/ And I lost track of the score,” he sings, passing it to Lyrica for a power chorus.
