"Empire" could not take any longer to premiere season 2. But fans of the music-based drama are in for a treat. The hit show has just released two dynamite singles via its VEVO channel ahead of the show's late September premiere. Way to keep the fandom happy!
The first single, called "No Doubt About It," is a bright dance track featuring Jamal Lyon (Jussie Smollet) and Mr. Worldwide, otherwise known as Pitbull. The single, co-written by Ne-Yo, is definitely one for the club and radio. Jamal's soft voice paired with Pitbull's distinct howls over thumping bass makes for a perfect getaway track as Fall picks up.
The chorus delights in Jamal's delicate vocals singing "All we want is a party/ take some shots with somebody/ Take the music and turn it all the way up/ If you came here to party/ And ain't no doubt about it/ Say no doubt about it/ Say ain't no doubt about it/ Ain't no, no, no, no doubt about it, hey, hey/ Ain't no, no, no, no doubt about it oh, oh" as Pitbull howls, "Come over to the party/ come over to the party/Who they gonna see? Who they gonna see?/ It's P-I-T and your boy Jamal, and we off the heezy."
Both Ne-Yo and Pitbull are said to be making a cameo in the second leg of the Lyon-based show.
The second single called "Ain't About The Money" is a family-based track, featuring Jamal and Hakeem Lyon, played by Bryshere Y. Gray. The heavy bass driving track is sure to grab listeners' ears. Jamal's smooth sing-songy rap blends seamlessly with Hakeem's heavier rap flow creating a nice hip-hop anthem.
A few memorable bars include Jamal sing-rapping, "Love the good in the champagne/ Power in my pride, power in my last name/ Said if I don"t know nothin', I know this paper/ Bigger than the world steppin over skyscrapers," "Blood is thicker than water but B.S. is the thickest," and "Let the chain round my neck tell my life story/ Born into the money but would die for glory."
These two tracks are sure to keep fans occupied until the 2-hour season premiere of "Empire" airing Sept. 23 on FOX.
