Blacc — who had a top 10 hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs with “The Man” in 2014, and hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart and No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with his album Lift Your Spirit the same year — celebrated the 10th anniversary of Lift Your Spirit with a special deluxe release this year. He also released the two-EP set Rock My Soul, which saw him covering a number of classic alt-rock hits. February 2025 will bring more new music from the R&B and soul vocalist, who has a philanthropic project in mind: an album of songs inspired by different non-profit organizations.
Hayes — whose 2021 hit “Fancy Like” topped Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart at No. 1 and reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and whose 2022 Country Stuff: The Album hit No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and charted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 — released an EP titled Sober Thoughts earlier this year.
