With whispers of a roaring Rock finale to Beyonce‘s colossal album trilogy reaching a fever pitch, anticipation around the megastar is hitting new heights.

Nearly a decade after garnering critical acclaim for her last studio effort ‘TKO‘ (2018), Mya is looking to dance her way back to the top of R&B charts with its long-awaited follow-up ‘Retrospect.’

Announced in February, the new album is slated to storm digital music shelves on May 15.

Ahead of its arrival, the R&B veteran – who already gifted music lovers a taste of the LP’s content via the single ‘ASAP‘ – has lifted the lid on yet another single from the set: the Too $hort-assisted ‘Just a Little Bit.’

“Just a little bit / We can get this started off right / Just a little bit / Break me off, you know what I like,” she sings over an 80’s funk-inspired track.

Released via her independent label, Planet 9, with distribution by Virgin  Music Group, look inside to get acquainted with ‘Bit’ courtesy of its City James-directed music video.

It’s time! For fashionistas and fashion-forward fellows, “fashion’s biggest night out” – better known as the Met Gala – is easily the most wonderful time of year.

A designer costume party that doubles as a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City, the outing – which typically occurs the first Monday in May – is an annual assembly for Hollywood’s “who’s who” to show off some truly outrageous and over-the-top ensembles courtesy of top-named and well-respected designers.

This year’s event was helmed by a superstar panel of all co-chairs: Beyonce, Venus Williams, and Nicole Kidman (alongside Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez Bezos as honorary chairs) for the theme ‘Fashion Is Art’ in support of the Met’s Spring ‘Costume Art’ exhibition.

Hop inside to see how big names like Madonna, Rihanna, Ciara, Doja Cat, Cardi B, Angela Bassett, Doechii, Colman Domingo, Sabrina Carpenter, Damson Idris, SZA, KeKe Palmer, Serena Williams, and more showed up and out on the red carpet.
