NO1-NOAH – “Ridin For My Love”
Summer Walker’s latest Ghetto Earth Records signee NO1-NOAH dropped a music video for his December 2020 cut, “Ridin For My Love.” The rising artist previously worked with Walker for her latest EP, and the songstress revealed that the two of them are alike both musically and personality-wise. “He’s talented and I figured it’d be easy for us to work together and I could use my platform to help him follow his dreams,” she said in a previous statement.

Zara Larsson x Young Thug – “Talk About Love”
As she preps for the release of her upcoming album Poster Girl, Zara Larsson enlisted Young Thug for the single “Talk About Love.” Produced by Mike Sabath, the energetic cut hears the pop artist on the same wavelength with the YSL Records head’s melodic verse. “’Talk About Love’ is about that phase before two people work out what they are to one another,” Larsson explained in a statement. “That specific window is so beautiful and fragile, as soon as you start asking ‘are we doing this?’ or ‘how do *you* feel?’, for some people that ruins the magic. ‘Talk About Love’ is savoring that moment before you have to decide.”
