Childish Gambino - This Is America

A: Childish Gambino
S: This Is America

While hosting and performing on Saturday Night Live over the weekend, Donald Glover dropped a new song and music video. Titled This Is America, the visually remarkable music video, which contains some graphic imagery, is a stirring commentary from Childish Gambino on the state of America as he dances with children in a warehouse in one moment then guns down a gospel choir in the next. Happy Monday.

Guess who back. Nearly six years after Lotus, Xtina returns with Accelerate, her new Kanye West-produced single featuring Ty Dolla $ign and 2 Chainz. Over a hypnotic instrumental, the pop diva flexes her multi-octave vocals with raunchy lyrics. To go along with the song, Aguilera dropped a sensual video. Dipped in honey and glitter, the former Voice coach shows off her body. Enjoy.
