Citizen Queen are an a cappella quartet co-founded by Scott Hoying of Pentatonix in 2018. Originally signed to RCA, they spent three years releasing singles and opening on Pentatonix's world tour but have yet to release a full-length EP or album. So Special is their fourth independent release to date.

[SHOOTER]

Since I have a lover, no more lonely nights
The type of love that you supply, can't televise
Don't need advice, plus you my vice, like what I like
You light my fire, you get me high, reach a new height...

[SHOOTER]

So pass the remote and then pass the weed, that's all that I need
Want you to lay up on me like your name Kyrie

If we split up, fuck it, c'est la vie, c'est la vie, c'est la vie...

Although she debuted top-5 strong with her debut entry last month, Arlo Parks has to settle for a top-13 finish with Impurities, the second release from her sophomore album - My Soft Machine - out May 26th.

"It's about being around people who make you feel like your inner ugliness and failures and mistakes don't matter, who lift you up and make you laugh, who make you feel good and clean. With this visualiser I really wanted to convey this atmospheric oscillation between solitude and companionship – I wanted to show how being around your people really does feel like coming home. When I was writing this song I had been thinking about Gus Van Sant a lot and how he captures people in all their fragility and beauty and ugliness – Jak [Payne] was instrumental in creating/protecting that sense of softness." - Arlo Parks, Dork Magazine (March 2023)

Changed is Tamar Braxton's first release since her self-imposed retirement after the release of her fifth album, 2017's Bluebird of Happiness. The loss of her sister, Traci, to cancer in March 2022 inspired her return to music and she's currently recording her sixth album.

[SHOOTER]

Ooh, if you show mе what you hide on the outside
I'll make you feel at home, let you inside
It's like you see right through me, baby, like you already knew me, baby
I don't know where this is going, but it's goin' right...

Very glad to see two girlgroups in the Top 6 with two former girlgroup members! I'm rooting for FLO.
