Nicki Minaj And Davido Join Forces To Honor Their Partners On Their ‘Holy Ground’ Collaboration

The track is one of many highlights on Davido’s new ‘A Better Time’ album which also features Young Thug, Lil Baby, Nas, and more. …

Originally intended for a release last month, the #EndSARS movement in Nigeria pushed Davido to delay his third album, A Better Time. The Nigerian afro-fusion artist finally released the project on Thursday and one of its early highlights comes by the way of his “Holy Ground” track with Nicki Minaj.

The track was one fans anticipated for quite some time after Davido confirmed its existence earlier this year. As for the song itself, “Holy Ground” is a warm and heartfelt effort that finds both singers praising their love interests and labeling them a spiritual area that brings both comfort and happiness. Davido previously spoke about the Nicki Minaj collaboration and revealed it came after he sent a drunk DM to the rapper while he was at a party.

“I was like, ‘Yo, I swear to God, I’ll DM Nicki right now,’” the afro-fusion singer said in an interview with W Magazine. “I woke up the next morning and I forgot that I had messaged her the night before. I was like, ‘Oh sh*t, I was drunk.’ Nothing was really planned on this album—Nicki be charging people $500,000 for verses. And she did it for me for free.”

Eylsia explores courage, identity and the unknown on latest release “What Will Become of Me”

Eylsia’s latest release, “What Will Become of Me,” is a cool pop starter that is built on catchy piano chords and synths. The song’s real strength lies in its honest questions about identity, courage, and what might lie beneath the surface. It is a dialogue with yourself, asking what happens when you stop looking outside and start looking inside.

Eylsia sings about finding courage within herself, a little light on her own, more than any mirror shows. It’s nice not to know, to feel like all the answers don’t have to be figured out today. The song isn’t seeking an ending or trying to resolve the question it is based on.

“What Will Become of Me” centers on the emotional core of self-discovery. The song has a very personal sense of independence, with lyrics about leaving a frame on the wall and not letting anyone else paint the answers in the sky. But Eylsia delivers a contemplative pop moment, with catchy musical elements and a message that leaves the listener with a question that could linger long after the song ends, and the courage at its heart to face the unknown.

Little Quirks expose perfectly timed romance on “Game Boy”

If every move is timed perfectly, romance can feel believable. Shiny charm comes from Little Quirks’ new single, “Game Boy,” which makes it a little more playful and a little more edgy. This is a rock-pop song for the smooth-talking romantic, the one who has all the moves down pat, from flowers on cue to moments that feel a little too cinematic.

This tension fuels the “Gameboy,” and Little Quirks balances an immediate hook with a darker undercurrent. That restlessness is key to the song’s appeal, and it gives the release a sense of constant movement, making its playful attitude active rather than passive. Beneath that happy surface is a smart doubt about romantic performances that are clearly designed to attract people.

“Game Boy” also clearly indicates an artistic shift for the New South Wales band. The track offers another glimpse into a bolder, darker chapter and a glimpse of their upcoming album, “She’s Wild.” Little Quirks never loses sight of the accessible qualities that make pop and rock so immediate, and it expresses the desirable ease of someone who always seems to know what to say or do.

The result is a release built on distinction, playful but pointed, catchy, energetic, and more questioning. “Game Boy” suggests Little Quirks is crafting a space between upbeat musical energy and downbeat emotional concepts. This new music comes from a band that is in a more confident, restless phase of their creative life.
