Chance The Rapper Joins Peter CottonTale To Soundtrack Google’s ‘Year In Search 2020’ With ‘Together’

The inspiring message of hope lightens a ‘Year In Search’ recap in sore need of one. …

After a rough year, Google’s usual “Year In Search” retrospective could have been extremely depressing. The imagery and the searches themselves are enough to induce anxious flashbacks in anyone who was even passably aware of the seemingly hundreds of disasters that took place on a global scale in 2020. Fortunately, this year’s video arrives accompanied by a message of hope, courtesy of Chicago producer Peter CottonTale, who soundtracks the video with his new song “Together” featuring Chance the Rapper, the Chicago Children’s Choir, Cynthia Erivo, and Re-Collective Orchestra’s Matt Jones.

It’s the second collaboration between Chance and Peter this year after the duo linked up in April for the gospel-themed “Pray For Real.” Their chemistry, which was previously displayed on tracks like “Forever Always,” remains intact. CottonTale also appeared this year on Vic Mensa’s V Tape, which saw Chance and Vic reunite on a record for the first time since Vic’s 2013 Innanetape.

Meanwhile, Chance recently re-released his Christmas album, Merry Christmas Lil’ Mama, with Jeremih and also started collaborating with R&B living legend Dionne Warwick after she shouted him on Twitter. The moment gave Chance an opportunity to close out his 2020 on a high note after being sued by his former manager Pat Corcoran. Chance also has one last year-ending moment planned: A virtual concert which will celebrate the reissue of Merry Christmas Lil’ Mama.

Listen to “Together” above.

Terry Borderline asks what happens when everything breaks on latest release “Glitch”

Terry Borderline

Terry Borderline‘s latest release, “Glitch,” is a thick G-House track built around Gasoline Monk, with forceful hip hop vocals and a punishing tech house bassline. It’s supposed to be dark and completely sample free. The production lends the track a straight-forward approach, marrying its hip-hop presence with its electronic weight. At its heart it asks a simple question, what happens when the systems around us start to fall apart.

The song pushes the concept of a glitch beyond a single piece of technology. It’s like, “What if the whole system just glitch?” then it takes that into the day-to-day of technology, with questions about an iPhone and if whole systems can fail. You don’t have to think too much about the message, that tension is what the song is built around.

“Glitch” is a bass-driven club banger with hard hitting vocals and a mash up of G-House and tech-house sounds. This is a dark electronic space, powered by the free sample production of Terry Borderline & Gasoline Monk. “It’s a song about pressure, disruption and the uncomfortable idea that all the systems we rely on may not always work as they should.

“Get Away” by Young V and Love Ladda celebrate love, peace, and living in the moment

Young V and Love Ladda

Sometimes the best escape isn’t leaving everything behind but finding a moment where life finally slows down. Young V and Love Ladda turned that feeling into “Get Away,” a hip-hop and R&B collaboration about chilling, connecting, and living in the moment. It’s a warm embrace of the song’s core idea, turning the desire to escape everyday stress into a toast to meaningful companionship.

“Get Away” combines hip-hop with R&B in a way that fits its laid-back theme. The song feels relaxing, like spending time with someone who matters. That balance shows in the musical direction, which gives the release a contemporary character while keeping the emotional focus clear.

Central to the release is a different understanding of love and relationships. Ladda’s understanding of love proposes a new paradigm, replacing obsolete expectations with the true enjoyment of the other. “Get Away” mirrors how peace, love, and shared experiences can change the way people relate to each other.

The project was recorded in Bright Star Studios and gave Young V a chance to do something meaningful and form an unlikely friendship with Love Ladda. “Get Away” reminds us to stop and appreciate what’s already in front of us. Young V and Love Ladda make relaxation a creative statement on connection.
