Normani and Sam Smith Wanna Dance With Strangers, and Bhad Bhabie (Sorry) Does It Again
EntertainmentMusic
Overall yes, with a couple of caveats: Sam Smith and Normani, “Dancing With a Stranger” – I haven’t stopped listening to this since this morning, which is a testament to two things: How good Normani sounds on this R&B dance number, and the catchiness of the hook. Regardless of whether it’s Normani or Sam Smith belting, “Look what you made me do/I’m with somebody new,” the line makes me want to hit the club and forget about everyone who’s (maybe accidentally) wronged me. The song is decidedly mid-tempo, stays in one lane pretty much all the way through, and I want a little more from it, but true to its name, it sounds like pure late-night fun, and that is good. —Frida Garza
Yes: Bhad Bhabie feat. Tory Lanez, “Babyface Savage” (video) – Music fans have long accepted the fact that this white girl birthed straight from Dr. Phil’s talk-show loins will remain a fixture in our lives by continuously releasing music that is flames, including this song and video. She certainly knows her strengths: savage raps, a fast flow, and enviable aloofness. Once again, it works. —Clover Hope
