Written by and featuring Grammy Award winning/Academy Award-nominated Pharrell Williams. The accompanying video, helmed by Grammy nominated director Paul Hunter, pairs Legend's piano performance alongside the Hollywood Cinematic Orchestra with intimate portraits of life in a housing project, bringing the song's reflections on inequality, loss and resilience to life through a story of hardship and hope. The new track arrives ahead of Legend's performance at Global Citizen Festival on Saturday, September 26, on the Great Lawn of New York City's Central Park. A Global Citizen board member who has supported the organization since 2011, Legend continues his longstanding commitment to its mission of ending extreme poverty.

Produced in full and co-written by Pharrell Williams, Muse marks the pair's first full album together after more than twenty years of friendship.

Writing and recording at Pharrell's studio at Louis Vuitton headquarters in Paris, the two drew on Nina Simone, Nat King Cole and Marvin Gaye, bringing classic orchestration together with a modern rhythmic foundation. Beyond the album, Legend is also at work on Imitation of Life, a new musical opening in December at The Shed in co-production with National Black Theatre, starring Tony Award winner Adrienne Warren as Delilah.

NEWS   Mic King and Ghostface Killah Connect 'Count On It' single, Produced by Asethic (New York, NY) - Some collaborations do not need a long explanation. When Mic King and Ghostface Killah share a record, expectations are already high. The Philadelphia-bred lyricist Mic King unveiled "Count On It," a hard-hitting new single produced by Asethic that brings together the two artists. The record leans into soulful production, vivid storytelling, and heavyweight lyricism, offering a reminder that substance still resonates in Hip-Hop. For longtime fans, the release feels like another milestone in Mic King's ongoing resurgence as King emerged during the independent hip-hop explosion of the early 2000s, quickly establishing himself as one of the underground's most respected emcees. Whether through acclaimed releases like Mike and the Fatman, Flavor Ade, and Cool-Aide or his reputation as a fearless battle rapper, he earned respect by letting the bars speak first. That reputation translated to the stage, where King shared lineups with Hip-Hop royalty including Wu-Tang Clan, Rakim, Nas, and J. Cole. His performances became legendary among underground rap fans, particularly his blindfold freestyle routine, where audience members handed him random objects that he transformed into complex, off-the-cuff rhymes. Recently, Mic King released a single, "Hallelujah," produced by Rakim. "Count On It" continues that momentum up until the release of his EP. Rather than chasing trends, the record doubles down on what both artists have always done best-elite lyricism delivered with conviction. Ghostface Killah's unmistakable storytelling complements Mic King's intricate rhyme patterns, while Asethic's production provides a soulful backdrop worthy of both emcees. King has also remained committed to hip-hop beyond the booth as co-founder of The Craft, a Brooklyn-based live event series dedicated to celebrating lyricism, live performance, and the culture that shaped generations of artists. With "Count On It," Mic King isn't looking to recreate the past. He's showing that authentic Hip-Hop has never gone out of style. "Count On It," featuring Ghostface Killah and produced by Asethic, is available on all major streaming platforms: https://foundation-media.ffm.to/countonit. # # #  (Source: Good Girl PR)

NEWS    Teddy Cross Declares 'God Got This Thing' With Powerful Single Featuring Quartet Legend Doug Williams   (MS) - After more than four decades of using his powerful voice to proclaim the Gospel through traditional quartet music, acclaimed Gospel artist, singer, songwriter, producer, and Pastor Teddy Cross returns with a timely new single, "God Got This Thing." The faith-filled anthem is already gaining momentum at Gospel radio and delivers a simple but powerful reminder for anyone facing uncertainty: God is still in control. "God Got This Thing" is rooted in the heart, soul, and rich vocal harmonies of traditional Gospel quartet music. With its encouraging lyrics and unmistakable message of faith, the song urges listeners to stop worrying about what they cannot control, trust God's plan, and believe that He is working even when circumstances suggest otherwise. Featuring legendary Gospel vocalist Doug Williams of The Williams Brothers, the single brings together two respected voices from the quartet tradition for a compelling musical declaration of hope. For Cross, the song is more than a new release-it is a continuation of his lifelong ministry through music. Cross launched his professional music career in 1980 as a guitarist and background vocalist with the legendary Willie Neal Johnson & the Gospel Keynotes. Over the years, he became recognized for his commanding vocal presence and signature performances on Gospel classics including "With God I'm Satisfied," "One More Time," and "Don't Wait For The Hearse." His career has helped establish him as one of the enduring voices of traditional Gospel quartet music. Cross continues that legacy while serving as pastor of Mt. Nebo Missionary Baptist Church in Raleigh, Mississippi, where he remains committed to sharing the Word of God and pointing people to Christ through preaching, ministry, and music. With "God Got This Thing," Cross delivers a message perfectly suited for the times-one that encourages listeners to release their worries, strengthen their faith, and remember that God has the situation under control. "God Got This Thing" featuring Doug Williams is available on all major digital music platforms.  # # #    (Source: The Bellamy Group)

To never let the sun go down on your anger . . .produced by the production team Kingpin Radio Benny Franks, Terrence Harris, and Chris Powell. # # #  (Source: 2Rs Entertainment)
