Tyla Yaweh keeps coming with the irresistible bops and his latest single “She Bad,” the follow-up to his equally irresistible cut “Gemini,” is no exception. It’s a radio-friendly single with a hook and chorus that begs to be sung over and over. “She told me that she was really good at dancing, like Michael Jackson,” Tyla croons. “Well, she dance, she dance.” The up-and-coming Florida native, who happens to be managed by Post Malone’s manager Dre London, has plans on releasing a full-length project pretty soon.

Samaria gets vulnerable and open on her latest single “Shy Girl.” She sings of unrequited love and longs for her crush’s affection, who has, she wistfully notes, friend-zoned her. The interpolation of Biz Markie‘s 1989 hit “Just A Friend” is fitting on Samaria’s track as she echoes the songs popular hook, “And you say I’m just a friend” with moxie. “Shy Girl” is expected to live on her upcoming project, Adventures Of Lovergirl slated for release on November 9.

Quincy — “Devour”

Quincy’s R&B jam “Devour” was made just for the bedroom. With a smooth production to set the mood, Quincy is equipped with double-entendres as a means of getting a taste of the one thing he craves: his lady. All Quincy wants to do is satisfy and that’s all a woman really wants sometimes. As cuffing season quickly approaches, “Devour” could be a welcome addition to any after hours R&B playlist.
