"Over Now" by Calvin Harris and The Weeknd

"This Calvin Harris and The Weeknd collaboration is one I didn't see coming, but now I can't stop listening to it. Harris appears to have gone back to his Funk Wav ways, but it's The Weeknd's smooth, soulful vocals that do it for me. I can already see myself blasting this song while driving with the windows down on a hot summer evening — a mood. Also, part of me can't help but wonder if they exchanged stories about their famous exes, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift, while working on the track, you know, since they're BFFs and all." — Monica Sisavat, editor, celebrity and entertainment

"Deep Reverence" by Big Sean feat. Nipsey Hussle

"Big Sean is set to release his new album on Sept. 4, but leading up to that drop, the Detroit-born rapper blessed fans with a new single featuring the late great Nipsey Hussle. In the song, Big Sean candidly raps about his recent struggles with depression and anxiety. It's what Sean does best: he tackles hard-hitting subjects alongside a beat and flow. They touch upon the struggles they face in the industry to provide for their loved ones and friends, while trying to stay afloat themselves. My favorite line from Big Sean: 'In high school I learned chemistry, biology, but not how to cope with anxiety / Or how I could feel like I'm by myself on an island with depression on all sides of me.'" — Perri Konecky, editor, trending and viral features

"Lost One" by Jazmine Sullivan

"Jazmine Sullivan reminds us that heartbreak never quite goes away in 'Lost One,' and even though I've never had my heart broken, I'm feeling her pain! The songstress always manages to get me in my feelings and has me wanting to call an ex for ills that they never even inflicted on me. That's not going to stop me from playing it on repeat, though. I may be cursing out an ex that doesn't exist, but at least it's better than sending texts that should have been left in drafts!" — Meki Pierre, associate editor, celebrity and entertainment

"Moncler (Remix)" by Tinie Tempah feat. Roy Woods

"If you're familiar with UK rappers, you know Tiny has made a big impact and paved the way for so many. I love seeing him making magic together with Roy Woods, who is signed to OVO (Drake's label). Anything mildly adjacent to OVO or Drake is sure to be an undisputed jam, and this song is no different." — Zareen Siddiqui, director, audience development

"Younger Women" by Vérité

"I'm definitely feeling the mellow vibes today, so I'm super into this new tune. In true Vérité fashion, she softly croons about lost love, and while I can't relate (relationships and romance . . . where?), I can certainly enjoy the dulcet nature of the track and immerse myself in its soothing symphony." — Brea Cubit, assistant editor, celebrity and entertainment

"Dernier Métro" by Kendji Girac feat. GIMS

"The Friday vibe is real with this one, guys. The long-awaited and inevitable collaboration between Kendji Girac and Maitre Gims arrived today, and completely surpassed expectations. Quick French pop culture history lesson: Kendji Girac auditioned for (and won) The Voice in 2014 with Gims's hit 'Bella,' and now the two are making music together. Such a full-circle moment! If you're looking for me, I'll be dancing the weekend away to 'Dernier Metro.'" — Charisandra Perez, social media and partnerships coordinator
