Wale’s new album, The Album About Nothing, is released today, “The White Shoes” its first single. And it’s quite the song. Not only does Wale deliver his primo rap, which never fails to flow beautifully, he actually sings on this one. And it turns out he can sing. Better than Kanye West, in fact. Not…

Well, naturally, since this is 2015, Kelly Clarkson’s seventh album, Piece By Piece, opens with, what else, the first single, “Heartbeat Song.” (I realize I’ve just used more commas than any sentence should ever have, but it was fun.
