On tonight’s episode of The Voice, Tessanne was requested to perform early. Tonight she sang No Doubt’s hit song “Underneath It All” that featured deejay Lady Saw. With a slightly rocky start, Tessanne quickly picked up her footing and not only did the song justice, but also deejayed Lady Saw’s part. Great performance from her. She even rocked a little for us too. Do remember to vote for her by calling (855) 864-2302, texting “2” to 8642 (U.S. only), and buying the single off iTunes.

Just hold on, you’re going home! After teasing it on his Instagram, Trabass finally released his remix to Drake’s “Hold On We’re Going Home“. Titled “Sidechick You’re Going Home“, Trabass lets his girl on the side know that it’s time to pack up and leave. Not a bad effort from Trabass, DJs could mix this with the original song and could have the same effect on patrons. It’s only entertainment, listen and laugh!
