Topping the list this week is Dylan Scott with “Till I Can’t, I Will”, a cut off his just-released new album <i>Easy Does It</i>. The sweet, infectious song finds Scott professing his undying love, promising to “do whatever it takes” to keep his “pretty angel” happy. It’s a mature sentiment that’s reflective of the rest of <i>Easy Does It</i>, which Scott says thematically reflects a transitional period in his life. “This chapter is just about continuing to build and grow,” he tells Apple Music. “I think the foundation’s there at this point. Took a long time to get that foundation built, as far as career-wise and relationship-wise. But at this point, you never want to just be stagnant. You never just want to be like, ‘Okay, it’s all built. Let’s live happily ever after.’” Check back here early and often for updates, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

At this point, the anointed king of Bongo Flava must have surpassed his own wild expectations. From his base in Tandale, Dar es Salaam, the East African champion has steadily leapfrogged towards galactic ubiquity through collaborations with superstars like Davido, Fally Ipupa and Tiwa Savage. He’s bagged international spots, too, with Ne-Yo, Rick Ross and Omarion guesting on his songs. With every new album, the Tanzanian pop star’s outsize impact seems to grow.
