    It is a new day. D'Angelo returns to the spotlight after over 10 years with a European tour that kicked off in Stockholm, Sweden yesterday. Above, catch a clip from his performance of "Chicken Grease" and below, you'll find video from "Sh*t Damn Motherf*cker." A few new songs were unveiled as well, including "Sugar Daddy," "The Charade," and "Another Life."

    In watching these videos, it's evident that D'Angelo is happy to be up on stage and share with his adoring fans. And in case you were second guessing, indeed the man is killing it and singing like he's always known - hopefully a prelude to a new era of some earth-shifting music.

    Videos: Tanya Lacey – “Born To Fly” + “Letter To My Ex”

    This past December, the UK got a little treat called Tanya Lacey a la the double A-side single “Letter To My Ex” and “Born To Fly,” both super addictive tracks that we are so stoked to get our hands on.

    The single shows Lacey moving adeptly between different styles, with "Born To Fly" carrying a dub heavy edge that's sure to reach past the mainstream, and "Letter To My Ex" cementing her as a worthy peer to any of today's R&B divas.

    Each video is also equally unique, with a cool cinemagraph traversing Stokes Croft, Bristol in the "Born To Fly" video, and clean modern visuals featuring a stunning Tanya for "Letter To My Ex."

    Watch out for this lady - she's going to be making moves!
