Why Can't We Just Let Tinashe Shine?

Tinashe is far too talented to succumb to the sophomore slump, and we must protect her at all costs.

Her debut album, Aquarius, back in 2014 was bubbling over with bops, like "2 On," "All Hands On Deck" and "Pretend."  In 2014, you couldn't turn on the radio without hearing "2 On."

So, what happened? And what went wrong, if anything? What is preventing Tinashe from becoming the reigning princess of R&B? And why won't people just let her shine?!

Dua Lipa Does It Again With "IDGAF" Music Video

Just when we thought we couldn't love one of our SOON TO SHINE faves, Dua Lipa, anymore, she drops another amazing music video.

The songstress has chosen "IDGAF" (one of our top songs off her debut album) as her next single, and has paired it with some bold visuals. Check it out here!

Ed Sheeran Is Overrated. There, We Said It.

We've got to talk about Ed Sheeran. 

After receiving a PR email this morning with a subject line that read, "2017 IS THE YEAR OF ED SHEERAN," we had to stop ourselves from frankly, going off on Twitter.

8 Underestimated Beyoncé Songs You've Probably Never Heard Of

Unless you are a loyal, card-carrying member of the BeyHive like us, then you've most likely never heard these songs from Beyoncé. That's okay, though -- that's what THE OPINIONATED is here for.

We've taken some time to sift through the Queen's catalog, and dig up some tracks we think still deserve some spotlight. Though they were never released as singles (and some are even from soundtracks), their greatness cannot continue to go unknown.

Hailee Steinfeld Is Pop's Most Underrated Artist & Here's Why

Aside from our current favorite, Dua Lipa, we can confidently say that Hailee Steinfeld is one of the most underrated pop artists out today. There's no good reason Hailee shouldn't already be a household name, and here's why.

TAYLOR SWIFT - "Look What You Made Me Do"

We have a lot of feelings about Taylor Swift, and of course, we've never held back our opinions.

That's why we were intrigued (to say the least) when Taylor teased what was to come from her in the form of an album and single announcement this past week. But is her new single the best move she could've made? We don't think so.

Let's break this down.

#NewMusicFriday || 7.14.2017

It seems like artists are catching on to the fact that music fans are inundated with new music once Friday rolls around and have been debuting new tracks earlier in the week.

We've compiled our #NewMusicFriday top picks, including those that got a bit of a head start.

KESHA - "PRAYING"

Today, Kesha made her triumphant comeback with her new song, "Praying," and it's an emotional ode to the struggles she so publicly went through. In the single, she thanks the person who caused her pain (presumably, Dr. Luke),  for making her stronger. She belts out hope that they will seek redemption.

KATY PERRY - "BON APPETIT" - Will Katy Prove Us Wrong?

I'm conflicted. I love Katy Perry and what she's done in the world of pop music. After all, no one can deny that her Teenage Dream album is one of the best pop albums of (at least) the past decade. She has hits for days.

"Bon Appetit" is the complete opposite of the "purposeful pop" Katy had promised, and to be honest, I'm disappointed.  Maybe it's because I know she can do better than this throwaway single and I think her fans deserve better. I want to see/hear Katy evolve. Now's the time and I would hope her supporters would agree.

KENDRICK LAMAR - "HUMBLE."

With only one week to go until his highly-anticipated album drops, Kendrick Lamar debuted one of the most artistically engaging videos we've seen in a while (and by a while, we mean since Beyonce's Lemonade album visuals).

"HUMBLE." came as a pre-New Music Friday surprise and has already won the award for Video of the Year in our eyes. And no, we aren't overreacting or over-hyping. 

We'll save you the fluff and adjectives -- you've just got to click below and see this one for yourself.
