Bruno-Mars-vs-David-Guetta

After kicking off the 2017 BET Awards on Sunday with another electrifying performance, Bruno Mars surprises fans today (June 27) with a groovy new remix to his sexy single, “Versace On The Floor.”

Teaming up with platinum DJ/producer, David Guetta, the sultry retro-tinged ballad just got a smooth update, with silky R&B dance vibes and even a little vocoder for good measure!

“It is more than a remix; it is a collaboration and combination of different worlds together,” said Guetta of the enhancements he made to the 24K Magic track, which is being called “Bruno Mars vs David Guetta.”

“I hoped to create something that would not just be for one community, just like Bruno makes quality music that speaks to a wide audience,” Guetta continued. “He’s really a next level musician and songwriter. I knew that already, but by working on his music I realized it even more so.”

Turn down the lights and take a listen to the updated version of “Versace On The Floor” below!

Maurice Moore Back Again

Canadian R&B artist Maurice Moore keeps the new releases coming this week with the smoldering slow burner, “Back Again.”

Coming off with a relaxed approach, the young Tsunami Mob member shares a track which he’s been sitting on for a while. “Just having fun wit it, here’s a song I did a while back with some homies on a super litty night in LA,” Moore said about the song.

Over mellow production by Vindata, the singer/songwriter flows with rap/sung verses about hitting up his favorite lover to put in that work when he’s back in town, after hustling on the road.

“Back again, first one I call when I’m back again / Puttin’ it down ain’t not lackin’ yeah / Tsunami, we mobbin’ we back again, yeah yeah / I hit the road but I’m back again / Ni**a we made it, we back again,” he sings.

Maurice Moore has been giving his growing fan base a new record each week in his #SundayGems series, as he gears up to release his anticipated mixtape, The Amber Room, which is due out this summer.

New Music: Chris Brown & Tyga feat. R. Kelly – Trippin’ (Prod. by T-Town)

Posted on June 27th, 2017 by ThisIsRnB in MUSIC |

Chris Brown Tyga R. Kelly Trippin

Turn up the bounce! The good folks at T-Town Productions have gifted us a big surprise collabo, which previously wasn’t going to see the light of day.

The German production team worked on this record some years ago during the time when Chris Brown and Tyga were crafting their Fan of a Fan project. However, the rough cut of the track, which also features R&B King, R. Kelly, wasn’t chosen to be included on the album. And as it goes with many songs, they get put in the vault.

Fast forward to last month, and if you weren’t aware, a huge folder of unreleased Chris Brown songs and demos (46 tracks) was leaked online. Many of the records were very rough or unfinished, however some got attention among the internets and fan groups. When T-Town heard one of their songs was in the mix, they decided that since it found it’s way out, they would work on finishing it up and giving it a proper mix.

That they did, and with a thumping bounce with a heavy 808 that is primed for the club! Check out the surprise, unexpected collabo between Breezy, Kellz and Tyga below!

NYLO Time Changes Everything

Time changes everything, except smooth cool vibes.

With its synth hits and punchy percussion the track is instantly infectious, but once the chorus hits you will surely be bobbing your head along.

“There’s trouble up ahead / Trouble down below / It’s out of my control,” sings Nylo. “The voices in my head / Reasoning with my soul / But baby you don’t know.”

Video premieres were the trend during BET Awards weekend. Surprising fans during the awards after-show, Future and Chris Brown debuted the visuals for their collaboration, “PIE,” off the HNDRXX album.

The video, directed by Nick Walker, starts off at a party filled with “side pieces.” Hendrix promises that it “should be a good night,” while inviting Breezy to join him at his pad.

True to his word, several women show up to the house. One delivers food. Another joins shortly after and heads to the bathtub. Before long, a few more gorgeous girls arrive while Brown and Pluto sing about how sharing is caring.

“She don’t wanna go,” sings Future. “I roll 100 deep, we like sharing hoes.” Chris adds: “It’s your birthday, go ahead and put that cake on me / Commas and zeros, I’ll be your hero with no cape on me.”

During their appearance on the after-show, Future explained that the video has been waiting for its release. “We’ve had this video for a second,” he said. “We’ve been working on it for a second and we feel real good about this song. I asked Chris, ‘Is it a hit?’ He said, ‘For sure. We got one.’”
