Tobtok, HUGEL and Love Harder Team Up for Lovesick Dance-Pop Anthem, “My Bed” [Premiere]
In a collaboration of grand proportions, Love Harder, HUGEL, and Tobtok have joined forces for “My Bed,” a sultry dance-pop record that will soon arrive by way of fabled dance music banner Ultra Music. Premiered today via EDM.com, “My Bed” is primed for Spotify domination due to its foot-tapping slap house arrangement. However, it’s the track’s storytelling that really shines through. In a post-cuffing season anthem for the lovelorn, the aching song tells the story of a lovesick person who can’t sleep without the comfort of their ride-or-die. RBVLN does a brilliant job with the topline, offering a stentorian vocal that mirrors the pop-house energy of music by Imanbek or Topic. His work in the chorus is something to marvel at, as it fl...

Beyoncé Set A Flawless Precedent With One Big Surprise
By Hilary Hughes An eponymous album marks a major moment in an artist’s career. For women, owning one’s work, body, and artistry can be especially powerful, even political. Throughout Women’s History Month, MTV News is highlighting some of these iconic statements from some of the biggest artists on the globe. This is Self-Titled. Beyoncé is queen of the epic entrance (as anyone who watched her 2018 Coachella headlining set can attest), but Beyoncé, her fifth, self-titled album, made its debut quietly — and in the middle of the night. At first, only those who happened to be scrolling through the iTunes Store after midnight on December 13, 2013 noticed a new addition to its offerings in the form of a simple, striking cover featuring the name of the artist, all caps and in p...
