R. Kelly has reportedly been dropped by Sony Music according to sources close to Billboard.
Coming off the back of Lifetime’s ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ docuseries, which explored the numerous allegations of psychological and sexual abuse from the performer, the dissolution of his Sony contract follows an almost 30-year agreement between the two camps.
Earlier this week, further reports from Sony emerged that the label powerhouse had frozen future productions of any new R. Kelly music until the conclusion of criminal investigations. Kelly has denied all charges, however in the wake of the Lifetime series, several past collaborators, including Celine Dion and Lady Gaga, have all removed their featured songs from streaming services. The six-hour series, broadcast over three parts, focused on accounts of several women who claimed Kelly had sexually and violently abused them, with many in their teens at the time.
Story developing.
Two of Sweden’s most talented young producers – Oliver Nelson and Tobtok – have teamed up to deliver a mesmerising tech-tipped rework of a classic 90s house cut, with their shimmering ‘Outrageous’.
A dancefloor joint at its heart, both producers get things thumping with a mix of retro-tinged synths, a funk-laden bassline and some clever claps and rave-inspired “woahs” thrown into the mix.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard any new remixes from Preditah. His 2017 effort on Jorja Smith’s ‘On My Mind‘ still absolutely bangs, and to this day has left us craving for more. Fortunately though, the Birmingham-raised producer is back, and in a solid way, as he places his infectious old-school UKG spin against Rudimental’s ‘Scared Of Love’.
Featuring vocals from Ray BLK and Stefflon Don (which come smartly-distorted here), Preditah’s new rework perfectly complements the Jorja track mentioned above – this one’s as bouncy as they come, and for fans of early-2000s garage, you’re likely to have a massive sense of nostalgia the second you hit play.

Mabel has shared her first new single of the year, ‘Don’t Call Me Up’.
Coming off the back of her nomination for British Breakthrough Act at the 2019 Brit Awards, ‘Don’t Call Me Up’ follows a solid twelve months for the youngster, which saw the 22-year-old sell over 2 million singles in the UK alone, surpass half a billion streams, and cap December’s UK tour with a massive sold-out show at London’s Brixton Academy.
Co-written by Mabel alongside Steve Mac (whose arsenal of hits include Ed Sheeran’s ‘Shape Of You’ and Years & Years’ ‘If You’re Over Me’) plus Kamille Purcell (Little Mix, Mist, Clean Bandit), ‘Don’t Call Me Up’ takes MABEL’s lifelong love for empowered, role-reversal R&B into an unchartered new space.
Expect new remixes to follow shortly too; in the meantime catch the full video below:
