PARTYNEXTDOOR Reveals “PARTYPACK” Tracklist & Midnight Release

During the past week or so, PARTYNEXTDOOR began teasing something called PARTYPACK. As fans began to connect the dots, it became clear this would be some sort of body of work. This afternoon, PND has finally given fans the final (and biggest) clue, by way of PARTYPACK‘s tracklist and release date.

According to the singer, PARTYPACK is a collection of “previously unreleased” songs. “Previously “unreleased” PARTYPACK available tonight everywhere for the PND day ones,” he wrote on Instagram. The tracklist comprises just seven songs, starting with the fan-favorite “Persian Rugs,” (which originally dropped back in 2014 but has never managed to hit a streaming service) as well as “West District.”

Elsewhere in the tracklist, you’ll find features from Nipsey Hussle, Quavo, Lil Yachty and Murda Beatz. Nipsey Hussle appears on a song called “Candy,” which is another Soundcloud loosie that first dropped seven years ago. Take a look at the complete tracklist below.

PND has been noticeably active during the pandemic, with the OVO signee finally releasing the long-awaited PARTYMOBILE album, and knocking out features for Summer Walker, Popcaan, DVSN, and now, following up with this. Let us know if you’re looking forward to PND’s new unreleased music when it drops at Midnight.

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.
