1. Big Sean - “What A Life”

Big Sean is back with a surprise new single in collaboration with Hit-Boy. This song is titled “What a Life,” which follows his previous Hit-Boy collaborations from the earlier this year, Babyface Ray’s “It Ain’t My Fault” and Freddie Gibbs’ “4 Thangs.” The rapper’s latest single also comes with a music video directed by Joe Weil, which features Sean covered in bees.

“In the song I said 100 B’s, but it was really 65,000 🐝’s on me,” he wrote on Instagram. “This not photoshopped neither. I HAD 65,000 Bee’s on me… love to the 🐝 hive. I just ain’t want y’all to think it was some damn effects or some s**t 😂.”

2. Sebastián Yatra - “Tacones Rojos”

Sebastián Yatra is back with another wave of fresh music with his latest new pop single, “Tacones Rojos.” He released the track alongside a playful video, which sees the Latin pop star alongside Spanish actress Clara Galle, filmed in the Fernan Nuñez Palace in Madrid.

Outside of making new music, Yatra has been showcasing his charismatic stage presence as the special guest on select dates of Enrique Iglesias and Ricky Martin’s North American tour, which included a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden.
