Lil Durk Has Finished “The Voice” Album
Now that the dust has settled, it’s safe to say that Lil Durk emerged victorious from his brief but heated scuffle with Tekashi 6ix9ine. And now that the drama has faded, it’s time to look to the future. One day removed from his twenty-eighth birthday, an occasion celebrated by many of his peers and collaborators across social media, Durk confirmed that his upcoming album The Voice was complete, setting the stage for an imminent release.

“appreciate the love and the birthday wishes from y’all thank y’all fasho,” he captions, in a recent Instagram post. “p.s the voice album done.” At this moment, Durk has given little else to go off — nor has he clarified whether the project is simply finished tracking, or whether the mixing and mastering stages have been wrapped up. In any case, add Durk’s The Voice to the list of albums set to arrive before the year concludes, and be sure to revisit the titular single right here.
In other Durk related news, many fans are still vying for an update on the Metro Boomin’ produced No Auto Durk, which now seems likely for 2021. In this case, fans are more than willing to wait — after all, Metro Boomin has rarely been one to rush his output, and the final products tend to speak for themselves. Between that and The Voice, it’s looking like Durk is on the verge of an impressive run — one that may very well propel his career to the next level. Are you excited to check out his next album?

Billy Chuck Da Goat finds his flow on new release “Vibez”
Billy Chuck Da Goat’s latest release, “Vibez,” has a laid-back, hypnotic bounce that makes it easy to listen to without ever feeling empty. It makes a place where calmness and quiet confidence come together.
“Vibez” was made on purpose, but it also sounds simple. Billy Chuck’s smooth delivery flows through the production without rushing or pushing anything. Instead, he lets the rhythm breathe, allowing people to get into the song at their own pace. This laid-back energy is the best part of the song, nothing feels forced, which is exactly what it’s trying to do.
The track changes to fit whatever you need it for, like a late-night drive, a focused workout, or a way to unwind after a long day. It has a quiet edge of confidence, it’s not loud or bragging, but it’s steady and sure of itself.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”
François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.
François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.
The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.
“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
