Jeanne Merchant returns with soulful anthem ‘Tell Me'

After a quiet spell, celebrated vocal coach and powerhouse singer Jeanne Merchant has returned to the indie spotlight with her latest emotionally charged R&B single, 'Tell Me,' released on May 23, 2025. Dropped under Merchant Records, the independent label she co-founded with Salim Merchant, the song marks a new phase in Jeanne's musical journey — one where vulnerability meets sonic finesse. Crafted entirely by Merchant — who wrote, composed, and sang the track — 'Tell Me' dives into the emotional aftermath of love slipping into silence. The song is elevated by Anshuman Sharma's smooth production, weaving polished pop melodies with soul-baring lyrics. Jeanne calls the song 'a reflection of honesty — of asking difficult questions when love turns into silence.' The single arrives with a visually striking music video helmed by Tushar Mahajan, who served as both director and director of photography. The video, much like the song, is steeped in mood and melancholy, echoing the confusion and ache of unspoken emotions. Though Jeanne is widely recognized for her role as a vocal coach to rising and established talents for over 13 years, 'Tell Me' is a strong reminder of her artistry and vocal prowess. Known for her genre-spanning command across R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Pop, Jeanne's latest track is a lush, introspective ride wrapped in seductive basslines and heartfelt delivery. It's a song that speaks as much to the ears as it does to the soul. With Merchant Records, Jeanne is helping build a platform for authentic, genre-fluid music — and 'Tell Me' is a shining example of that mission. As indie audiences crave music with emotional depth and genuine artistry, Jeanne Merchant delivers exactly that — raw, refined, and utterly resonant. 'Tell Me' is now streaming on all major platforms, accompanied by a must-watch music video that brings its emotional depth to life.

The Millennium Tour Gave Us More Than Nostalgia—It Was A Reset

Say what you want about millennials that we're obsessed with nostalgia, stuck in the early 2000s or whatever but the Millennium Tour reminded me exactly why we hold on so tight. The music, the dancing, the Baby Phat jeans. It wasn't just a concert. It was a reset. We've been catching heat from Boomers and Gen Z for a while now. Boomers think we're entitled. Gen Z thinks we're lacking authenticity and holding onto an i dentity crisis while being stuck in a '90s fantasy. Call me a typical millennial, then. I loved growing up in the '90s and early 2000s. Saturday nights meant packed skating rinks in Akron, Ohio. People might've chilled by the tables, but once B2K or Lil' Bow Wow came on, the rink turned into a dance floor. Later, I graduated to house parties and teen clubs — before bottle service ruined the vibe—dancing to the radio version of 'Wait (The Whisper Song)' by the Ying Yang Twins and Bobby Valentino's 'Tell Me.' If your hair wasn't sweated out by the end of the night, did you even go? My only regret? Not going to a single Scream Tour. No band tee. No shared stories. That regret was solidified early because I couldn't come to school with the iconic B2K or Bow Wow paraphernalia. I don't know if my parents missed the memo or just refused to sit through a concert full of screaming teens, but it's an experience I had to sit out and could never connect with friends about —until now. One of my friends gave me the chance to go to The Millennium Tour at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. This was my redemption arc. I was finally going to make my teenage self proud. And there was no way I was missing out (again) on artists who shaped one of the best eras of my life. ' We were raised on hope and were told to dream big — even when life didn't deliver on that promise. And for one night, the music gave us that promise back. ' Look, I didn't love showing up before the 8 p.m. start time (millennials are aunties now, but that doesn't mean we roll up early). But my friend insisted, mainly for merch and drinks, and I'm glad she did because the moment I got that band tee (20 years late), the nostalgia hit hard. It also gave me a chance to witness the full millennial collective experience through fashion. All around me were women in jersey dresses, velour Juicy Couture tracksuits, airbrushed tees and braids with bandana scarves. The 'twisties in the front, curls in the back' generation had entered the building. I was already impressed by the crowd before the music even started. Nivea kicked things off and instantly took me back to my burned CD playlist era. She sang 'Laundromat' and 'Don't Mess With My Man' like no time had passed. The Ying Yang Twins followed, and once they started performing 'Whistle While You Twurk,' it was over. Nobody was sitting down when 'Get Low' came on. That track still hits like it did in 2002. We had a quick moment to catch our breath and recover before RSVP — which stands for Ray J, Sammie, Bobby V and Pleasure P, took the stage and did a 30-minute mash-up of their hits. Ray-J's 'Wait a Minute' is still in my rotation. But Sammie? Sammie was the one. Dressed in black leather pants and no shirt, Sammie looked at the crowd and said, 'Let's show them who the f**k I am,' right before going into his 1999 hit 'I Like It.' The way we screamed that hook like our car notes and rent depended on it? Unmatched. Sammie didn't have to do too much because we sang our hearts out word for word and without missing a beat. His From the Bottom To The Top was the first album my parents bought for me, nearly 25 years ago. While his debut R&B album remains timeless, Sammie reminded me of—dare I say—the good ol' days. It was that moment where I felt, 'You just had to be there' to understand what these songs mean to Black millennials. But the moment that resonated the deepest for me was when Bow Wow walked out. Maybe it's the Ohio pride, but I was beaming seeing him in custom white, gray and red Air Force 1s with 'OSU' etched on the side for The Ohio State University. Outside of LeBron James and a few others, Bow Wow's roots in Ohio was something I was always proud of growing up. He kicked off 'Take Ya Home' with the Harlem Shake and I swear, I was transported. He even brought out Twista, who I hadn't seen in years. You'd think after more than 20 years of touring Bow Wow, Omarion and Trey Songz might've lacked the energy to put on a show that millennials desperately needed— but no. They still brought it. Sure, there were a few corny moments. I didn't need the animated ice on the screen during Omarion's performance of 'Ice.' And Kaine from the Ying Yang Twins air-humping the stage? Sir, please. This isn't 2005. ' There's science behind why concerts like this strike such an emotional chord. Studies show that live music activates multiple areas in the brain tied to emotion, memory and reward. ' But here's the thing: with all the talk about millennials being stuck in the past, I would argue that remembering where you've been helps you figure out where you are going. And there's science behind why concerts like this strike such an emotional chord. Studies show that live music activates multiple areas in the brain tied to emotion, memory and reward. When we hear songs from our youth, our brains literally and figuratively light up — not just with recognition, but with emotional intensity. Music can trigger dopamine which is the same feel-good chemical sparked by love and good food. And nostalgia? It's been proven to lower stress, increase optimism and even make people feel physically warmer. So when 10,000 people packed that arena, dripping sweat, screaming lyrics from our flip-phone days, that wasn't delusion. It was collective healing. A reminder of who we were, who we are and how far we've come. Millennials carry a lot. Research shows that we have a higher rate of depression than any other generation. We were raised on hope and were told to dream big — even when life didn't deliver on that promise. And for one night, the music gave us that promise back. Our parents and teachers taught us that 'if you can believe it, you can achieve it,' which is only partially true. Some of us got hit with a reality check later in life. There was a massive technological revolution where we went from VHS tapes to streaming and Polaroids to constantly posting on social media in a blink of an eye. Then, we entered adulthood during a financial crisis and recession where we were taught to still go to school despite there being fewer jobs. Many of my friends have crippling student loan debt tied to a degree they can barely use. And the likelihood to own a home grows more grim each day, especially if you didn't buy a house before 2020. Despite what other generations say about millennials being stuck in the past, the Millennium Tour proved that some things are worth returning to. Both shows sold out the 10,000-seat arena, and for three hours, our childhood soundtracks reminded us what joy used to feel like complete with sweaty hair, sore feet and full hearts. That night, I left with no voice, frizzy edges and a deep sense of gratitude for the era that raised me. When fun was real, dancing was mandatory and the music carried a whole different weight than it does now. The energy? Healing.

Diddy locked women in 'days-long sex parties' and had 10-hour long freak offs

The Diddy trial is officially underway, with new reports providing details about some of the alleged sex crimes. Music mogul Diddy, 55 – whose real name is Sean Combs – denies and is defending himself against all charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. Known throughout his 35-year career as P Diddy and Puff Daddy, among other names, Combs was one of the biggest names in 1990s and 2000s pop music. He was taken into custody in September 2024 following a federal investigation and has been held behind bars ever since. The Telegraph has reported that the court heard that the rapper 'wielded his power to force women into days-long sex parties' and encouraged them to call him 'the King'. It was also reported that those who did not comply were made them take drugs or were sexually assaulted. It was also heard that he hired a male escort to have sex with his former partner, Cassie Ventura, while Combs watched from the corner of the room in disguise. The former escort, Daniel Phillip, revealed while appearing as the second witness at the trial that these sessions could last up to 10 hours. Phillip said he was paid $5,000 (£3,700) to have sex with Ventura. She allegedly told Phillip that it was her birthday and her husband, Combs, wanted to do something nice for her. The high-profile court case hit an early stumbling block at the beginning of the day after a key witness went AWOL. The key witness – known only as Victim 3 – apparently nowhere to found, with attempts to contact them proving unsuccessful. According to reports coming from America, one of the female alleged victims, who is said to be central to the prosecutors' case, hasn't been heard from prior to the trial. Maurene Comey, the lead prosecutor, told Judge Arun Subramanian that they are having trouble getting in touch not just with Victim-3 but with her attorney, too. Comey then added that, while they may be able to contact Victim-3, the likelihood of her showing up to the trial has now had doubt cast upon it. The prosecution was asked to confirm whether they plan to call Victim-3 to testify in the trial, which sees Combs charged with five criminal counts, before a deadline.

The trial, which began in earnest in Manhattan on May 12 after a week-long jury selection process, heard its opening statements on Monday afternoon. The legal team defending the Tell Me rapper has said that the charges related to the 'private sex lives' of Combs and the witnesses involved, adding that their relationships were 'defined by consent, not coercion'. In her opening statement, Diddy's attorney Teny Geragos said: 'Sean Combs is a complicated man. But this is not a complicated case. This case is about love, jealousy, infidelity and money. 'You will hear about swinger parties. They will testify about things that should never be heard in a federal courtroom, that he liked to watch. You may not like that, but you are not here to judge him for his sexual preferences.' Responding, the prosecution claimed that Diddy forced Ventura – into partaking in sex acts during 'freak-off' parties and assaulted her on another occasion. More Trending Ventura, 38, who was Combs' partner between 2007 and 2018, filed a lawsuit against him in 2023, accusing him of raping her and physically abusing her during their relationship. While that lawsuit was settled shortly after it was filed, footage of Combs assaulting Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel surfaced on social media in May 2024. Combs apologised for his actions in the video, but Ventura is likely to testify herself during the trial as the number of charges against Combs mounts up. With days to go before the trial began, Combs rejected a plea offer from the government to plead guilty – this could possibly have spared the Bad Boy label owner a prolonged prison sentence.
