Number two of Mariah Carey's five remixes of "#Beautiful" has arrived. This time, the Miguel-assisted track gets a "Spanglish" reworking and becomes "#Hermosa"—she's not done with hashtags.
Yes, pop legend Prince has worked with Janelle Monáe on her upcoming album, The Electric Lady, but he apparently didn't stop there. The singer has retooled Ms. Monáe's latest single, "Q.U.E.E.N.," featuring Erykah Badu, putting his own twist on it.
Mariah Carey is not satisfied so far with the performance of her hashtag-sporting single "#Beautiful." The R&B diva, who holds the record for solo artist with most No. 1 songs, was likely expecting her latest track to skyrocket to the top, but it has stalled at No. 15 for the past couple of weeks (new charts will be revealed Thursday). Thus, she has released the first of five new remix versions of the track. A new version featuring A$AP Rocky premiered on Wednesday.
You probably didn't think you'd be hearing new K-Ci & JoJo today, but sometimes Mondays work out that way. The brothers return this week with a sensual bedroom jam, "Knock It Off," a taste of their forthcoming record which is expected in the fall. It's been 16 years since the duo debuted.
As promised, Big Sean has delivered his new single. "Beware," featuring Lil Wayne and Jhené Aiko, releases to iTunes at midnight on Tuesday (Monday night). The track comes off the rapper's forthcoming album, Hall of Fame, which arrives on Aug. 27.
Drake seems to be a fan of late night surprises recently. The rapper early Saturday morning shared four new tracks and revealed that his third solo album, Nothing Was The Same, finally has a release date. The new set arrives Sept. 17.
Eminem has premiered a preview of his new song, "Symphony in H." The snippet, which arrived via Tony Touch's Shade 45 radio show on SiriusXM, offers a glimpse at Touch's forthcoming mixtape, The Piece Maker 3: Return of the 50 MCs, which is due July 9.

UPDATE: Mayer has revealed that the new album, Paradise Valley, will arrive on Aug. 13.
On Monday, John Mayer teased a new single was coming soon. And on Tuesday, he made good on his word and revealed "Paper Doll," the first track off his forthcoming album, Paradise Valley.
Two unexpected acts collide in this fresh, new tune from Avicii, featuring the vocals of Aloe Blacc. An unfinished version of "Wake Me Up" has been floating around the Internet for a few weeks, but the final product debuted over the weekend on BBC Radio 1, and it's pure magic. Avicii ditches his usual DJ-synth mixes for a folksy blend of dance that surprisingly meshes very well with Blacc's unique, soulful voice.
John Legend has unveiled a new single off his forthcoming album. "Made to Love," co-written by Legend and Dave Tozer, describes the song's subject (fiancée Chrissy Teigen?) as a work of art.
To mark Father's Day, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have re-released their 2010 track, "Stay At Home Dad," which was initially produced for their Vs EP. The cut pays tribute to the dads who stay home taking care of the kids while their other half brings home the bacon. In true Macklemore fashion, the song pushes back against stereotypes of gender roles, something of a hot topic recently as new data shows females are increasingly becoming the breadwinner of their household.

Mayer Hawthorne on Thursday unveiled a new track just in time for Father's Day, a tribute to his own dad titled "Reach Out Richard," produced by Pharrell Williams. It's a soulful, funky tune that seems to play very well to the duo's individual strengths.
