Lil Tjay Samples Justin Bieber On ‘None Of Your Love’
The song is nearly two years old but was just recently cleared for an official release. …
New York rapper Lil Tjay has been gaining popularity ever since featuring on the 2020 XXL Freshman Class, rewarding him for his standout album, True 2 Myself, and mixtape, State Of Emergency, and dubbing him one of the hottest rising stars in the rap game. His latest single may solidify that status, as it samples one of music’s biggest hit makers, Justin Bieber, borrowing the Canadian singer’s breakout hit “Baby” and repurposing it into “None Of Your Love.”
Tjay’s newfound stardom may be the reason the song exists in its current form at all. The 19-year-old originally put the track on his YouTube in July 2018, but couldn’t keep it there due to sample clearance issues. Then, over two years later, he made the announcement on Instagram that the song had been cleared for an official release, allowing him to bump it to streaming services and expose a whole new audience to his warbling rhymes.
The pop-leaning song arrives at an opportune time for Tjay; with the eyes of the world watching to see if he lives up to his Freshman placement, expanding his range from the Bronx-approved street tales of his prior projects may improve his mainstream appeal as he works to complete his sophomore album.

“Summer Is Gone” by Anjalts is an ode to fading romance”
“Summer Is Gone,” a pop song by Anjalts, is thoughtful and emotionally very clear, and it feels like the last golden hour before fall truly sets in. The song is a melancholy reflection on the changing seasons and a fading romance. It has both a sting and warmth, drawing you toward some space of reflection that feels cinematic.
The production of “Summer Is Gone” sounds bright like a half-forgotten memory you can almost reach out and touch, but can never fully revive. Anjalts, a solid producer and storyteller, delivers quiet emotion, and the performance allows you to attach your own memories while maintaining its specific roots.
The song, the production, and the mood all connect so well that it feels like the seasons are changing. But beneath that ease is a deeper emotional current, a quiet awareness that something beautiful has stopped. As a prolific songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, Anjalts continues to prove versatility with diverse styles and artistic vision. “Summer Is Gone” also touches on growth, reflection, and memories that follow us. It waits to remind us, touch us, that there is still ugliness or beauty to remember in the ending.

Luke Panayiotou crafts intimacy and discovers love and purpose on “Am I In Love Again?” EP
“Am I In Love Again?” by Luke Panayiotou arrives as a quiet confession after years of silence, an intimate, self-made EP that’s his first release after a five-year hiatus, and it sounds so honest. This 3-song, 12-minute project is a reintroduction, and everything was written, performed, and arranged by the artist.
And since the EP combines acoustic, folk, rock, and ambient singer-songwriter sounds, it has a natural, personal feel. The recording was done at Oscillate Recording Studios in Knutsford/ Manchester with a warmth that allows Panayiotou’s vocals to shine through. The most emotional song on the EP is the title track, “Am I in Love Again.” It quietly examines falling back in love, the short bursts of overwhelming emotion that help you remember why you fell for someone in the first place.
“Back Around” tells a more contemplative story of perseverance. It’s about setbacks and the quiet resolve to continue, even when it feels like you’re on the verge of success. “Wherever I Go” is a triumphant end to the EP. Its upbeat, unifying energy celebrates connection, romantic, platonic, or otherwise. It accomplishes this by casting loyalty and presence in a more favorable light.
Panayiotou defines every aspect of “Am I In Love Again?,” from the songs to the cover art. This lends the work a cohesive artistic vision that feels both personal and enveloping. This EP shows that sometimes you need to take a step back to step forward with clarity and purpose.
