Fivio Foreign Parties With The Late King Von In His Raucous ‘Trust’ Video

‘Trust’ is the latest single from Fivio’s upcoming album, ‘B.I.B.L.E.’ …

Fivio Foreign’s debut album B.I.B.L.E is reportedly due in December and he’s been dropping off new singles for the last several weeks. Today’s entry to that collection of singles is “Trust,” which arrived with a mellow music video that offsets the energetic production from Axl Beats. The video finds Fivio and his friends having a house party and even features a cameo from the late Chicago rapper King Von.

Fivio’s star rose like a rocket this year after he was selected to represent the burgeoning Brooklyn drill movement on the XXL 2020 Freshman Class. During the customary cypher for Fivio’s group, his flirtation with Mulatto made the two trend on Twitter, then he capitalized with the Polo G-featuring “Bop It” video.

With videos for “Move Like A Boss” featuring Young M.A., “Zoo York” with Lil Tjay and Pop Smoke, and “Ah Ah Ah” with DreamDoll, Fivio Foreign is picking up steam ahead of his release, which also included the song “Salute” with Hit-Boy and Big Sean.

While there isn’t a release date announced for B.I.B.L.E just yet, Fivio aims to have the album released sometime in 2020. With only one month to go, there isn’t much time left so keep your eyes open.

Shara Strand rises triumphantly from life’s heartbreaking storms with her debut album “Love Forever”

Shara Strand

After weathering life’s challenges with introspective creativity and resilience, two-time Billboard-charting dance artist Shara Strand makes a noteworthy return to the spotlight with her most refined and sophisticated work to date: “Love Forever.” This dazzling 13-track debut album celebrates many dimensions of love in its romantic, spiritual, familial, and self-love multifaceted forms, all framed within a compelling narrative of heartbreak, healing, resilience, and emotional rebirth.

Love Forever” manifests a transformative elegance born out of grief, functioning both as a personal diary and a musical manifesto. From the outset, Shara establishes her artistic identity with conviction. The opening track, I Will Be Here,” introduces an ethereal promise of unwavering loyalty delivered through soaring vocals and a stirring melody that lingers like a heartbeat. It is an empowering anthem of emotional presence, grounded in the complexities of love, one that echoes with universal truth and timeless emotion.

Following spontaneously behind is My Green Light,” a sultry, soul-tinged ode to passion, presenting a vivid tapestry of life’s challenges and openness. With layered harmonies and shimmering production, Shara channels the electric highs of intimacy alongside the quiet boldness that feels like love’s inner beast. Followed by Always Your Baby,” this notable track emerges as a soulful pop composition that deeply resonates with listeners. In this piece, a blend of maturity and musical sophistication is evident as Shara delivers a poignant tribute to the purest and most enduring form of love.

Additional tracks such as I Will Follow and Anthem further exemplify her genre-blending capabilities. The former offers a lyrical portrayal of confident yet emotional protection from adversity, serving as a piano-driven affirmation of perseverance and inner strength. Conversely, the latter radiates with vibrant energy, motivating listeners to transcend the emotional challenges of life. Collectively, these songs demonstrate Shara’s adeptness in merging openness with unwavering resilience, particularly when confronted with the potential to be undermined by external influences.

Shara explores a more ambient soundscape in Happy Ending,” a composition soaked in memories and romantic closure. It exemplifies the allure of happiness beyond imagination, drawing audiences into a familiar melody marked by significant influence. The intricate seventh track, Desperado,” resonates with introspective melancholy, showcasing a sparkling complexity that captures the solitary moments felt in loneliness. However, the emotional core of the album lies in the eighth track, Second Chances,” which underscores the eternal impact of granting a deserving second chance in interpersonal relationships. Lioness exudes empowerment and celebrates bold femininity, a flirtatious, rhythm-charged tribute to emotional freedom and the exhilarating thrill of being entirely lost in time.

In Surrender,” Shara Strand stirs audiences into a safe and breathtaking space that offers peace of mind, encouraging them to surrender to the yearning for emotional belonging. Meanwhile, Soul Dad provides a deeply personal glimpse into the intricacies of emotional renewal, rooted in the cherished memories and life lessons learned from paternal bonds that shaped her identity. Furthermore, My Sweetest Boy captures the intimate and reassuring essence of familial love, rich with gratitude and sincerity. It conveys her affection for someone who means everything to her and makes her life complete.

Closing out the record is the thirteenth track, Ascended,” perhaps the album’s emotional apex. This cinematic, dark-pop masterpiece captures the beautiful impression of joyful liberation, celebrating the moment we rise above fear and reclaim our joy. With tremulous vocals and evocative production, it leaves a lasting impression, a final exhale of triumph, closure, and fearless self-expression. Recorded at NYC’s Engine Room Audio in collaboration with longtime producer Gregory Phace Fils-Aime, the album presents a masterclass in emotional alchemy and versatility. The album is polished, purposeful, and poignantly personal. Each track is a crucial chapter in a larger melodic manifesto centered on self-discovery and human connection, offering listeners a mirror to their own experiences.

Shara Strand is on a mission to reclaim her unique artistic voice and is poised to build on her momentum, solidifying her position as a prominent artist in the music world. Her latest album, “Love Forever,” contributes to her already impressive discography, and with her potential firmly ignited, she aims to transform the raw elements of her emotional experiences into a sanctuary of music. The album reiterates themes of reflective and unapologetically human creativity, skillfully turning feelings of sadness into something beautiful and transforming vulnerability into triumph. It represents an essential addition to numerous playlists and is a must-listen for enthusiasts who appreciate authentic, soulful music with profound introspective charm that keeps your heart beating.

Direct from the heart of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, this is an invitation to slow down, take a deep breath, and have the rhythm carry you home. “Bully Man” is a potent mix of roots reggae, jam band alchemy, and dreamlike electronic haze. It’s a melodic cocktail that goes down easy, with deep basslines throb like the heartbeat of the island, as hypnotic delays and dub textures radiate outward like heat from the Caribbean Sea.

Jared’s voice is warm, inviting, and effortlessly soulful, leading listeners through a story in homage to the life-rich culture of his island home. The song’s message is cloaked in sunny positivity, “Bully Man” is reflective, genuine, and pounding with authenticity. There’s something transgendant about this track. It’s the sort of song that requires nothing, just your time and your ears. It’s best tasted with salt on your skin and the horizon wide open, like a soundtrack for golden-hour escape.

And while its island roots are deep, the song doesn’t remain tethered. WONDERLOST slipped in occasional electronic swells and moments of improvisational flair, suggesting something more exploratory and open to evolution. It’s that mix of tradition and innovation that gives “Bully Man” its appeal. WONDERLOST is trying to ride the wave. And with “Bully Man,” they’ve released a sun-soaked track that invites you to slow down, tune in, and drift a little with nothing but rhythm, a little soul, and a ton of heart.
