Hennessy — “All For Nothing”

Providence, RI singer Hennessy is gearing up to release her debut project later this year. She kicks off the rollout for it with her new single “All For Nothing.” Hennessy uses the lovelorn release to question if a past relationship was worth the time and energy she wasted.

Davion Farris — “Bad Guy”

After concluding his 2021 year with “Sometimes,” West Coast singer Davion Farris, who’s also the brother of SiR and D Smoke, returns with his new song “Bad Guy.” It’s a tender track that Farris uses to vent his frustrations with his partner. Pain, regret, and anger are all present in the song, making it as enjoyable as it is relatable.

Brandon Banks — “Tryin’”

Back in 2020, Inglewood singer Brandon Banks released his second EP Static. It was quite the strong release that year, but after its arrival, Banks laid low for the better part of two years. Now he’s back with “Tryin’,” where he confesses to life’s difficulties while motivating himself and others around him to keep pushing and preserving.

After releasing “Take You Out” at the top of the year, Siergo follows it up with “Complicated,” a rhythmic tune that carries some ’90s influence as Siergio unloads his feelings about a woman despite their relationship being a thing of the past.

NO1-NOAH — “Bonjour” Feat. Summer Walker
