As we approach the last days of 2023, our favorite artists are taking things slow and saving new music for the new year. That didn’t stop some of them from surprising us with brand-new tracks just in time for the holidays, including Reneé Rapp, Megan Thee Stallion, Karol G, and Lil Baby.

This week has been pretty epic for hip-hop collaborations, starring with B.G. and Gucci Mane’s new album Choppers & Bricks, which produced the song “Talk”.

Nicki Minaj teamed up with Monica and Keyshia Cole for “Love Me Enough”, a bonus track featured on a deluxe edition of her latest album Pink Friday 2. “Lace It” by the late Juice WRLD, Eminem, and Benny Blanco also made the cut, along with Bas’s “Home Alone” feat. J. Cole.

Speaking of epic collaborations that hit the shelves this week, none of them created more buzz than Reneé Rapp & Megan Thee Stallion’s “Not My Fault”. They both channeled their inner Regina George in this catchy bop, set to be featured in the upcoming Mean Girls musical remake.

Check out the rest of our list for this week, and get ready to discover new music by Lil Baby, Karol G, John Legend, James Arthur, and more.

Reneé Rapp, Megan Thee Stallion – “Not My Fault”

John Legend just shared a new single titled “Don’t Need to Sleep”. The touching track is part of the soundtrack for the documentary We Dare to Dream, which was directed by Waad Al-Kateab and co-produced by Legend.

“Don’t Need to Sleep” is a piano-forward song with lyrics that ring with hopefulness, perseverance, optimism, and sacrifice. You can listen to it below.

“I am honored to contribute an original song to ‘We Dare to Dream,’” said Legend back in October when his involvement in the documentary was first announced. “Waad Al-Kateab has created an important film, and I hope “Don’t Need to Sleep” does the documentary and its extraordinary subjects justice.”

We Dare to Dream tells the story of refugee athletes from Cameroon, Iran, Syria, and South Sudan and their quest to secure a spot at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The documentary was released in early December on streaming service Peacock and received generally positive reviews.

“Don’t Need to Sleep” is Legend’s first new song since the singer released his ninth studio album, Legend, in 2022. However, the Grammy Award-winner has kept himself busy with other projects since then,  making several guest appearances, including being featured on the track “On Time” from Metro Boomin’s record Heroes & Villains.

Our favorite artists are bringing some joy into our lives with the “Together at Home” challenge, and John Legend is the latest star to join in. In addition to performing some amazing songs, the EGOT winner also used his live set to teas his upcoming album.

Legend recognized the fact we all desperately need things to entertain us while we stay at home, so he decided to put some new music out this year, but it’s still unclear how long it will take for us to hear it.

“We’re going to release some music. I don’t know what the schedule’s going to be like, we’re just going to start putting stuff out. We’re in the process of mixing a lot of the stuff on the record. Luckily, I already wrote and recorded most of it,” said Legend on Instagram.

The “Together at Home” series was started by Chris Martin who invited other artists to join in and stream their performances live from home. John Legend’s set featured an appearance from his wife Chrissy Teigen and daughter Luna, and he challenged Miguel and Charlie Puth to take part.

John Legend is one of the most outspoken recording artists working today, and music video for his new single “Preach” is his latest attempt to encouraging people to take action against injustice and transform the world into a better place.

The video opens with the EGOT winner singer lying awake in bed beside wife Chrissy Teigen, before walking through a mysterious white door. The path he takes forces him to take a harrowing look at several important social issues.

“The idea behind the song is that sometimes we can get so frustrated by the news and what’s going on and there’s this scatter going on in ourselves. Do we become apathetic? Do we become engaged? Do we just talk about it, or do we do something?” explained Legend in a statement.

In addition to sending powerful message through his art, the ten-time Grammy singer decided to take real action with his latest single. It’s the first video to employ YouTube’s new fundraising feature, allowing fans to donate money to nonprofit organization FreeAmerica.

John Legend launched this charity in hope it will help amplify the voices of individuals impacted by the criminal justice system and those who are working to change it. Goal of this campaign is to to raise $50,000 in the next year.

This Christmas Day / Jessie J

Releasing her first Christmas album was one of Jessie J’s biggest dreams, and she finally saw it come true in 2018.

You Make It Feel Like Christmas / Gwen Stefani
