News It or Lose It: Olivia Rodrigo’s "Drop Dead" Era & Tyla’s A-Pop Mystery

It’s a massive week for the charts! On this episode of News It or Lose It, Zweli is breaking down the headlines that have the 947 WhatsApp line blowing up. First, Olivia Rodrigo has officially announced her new single "Drop Dead," dropping next Friday, April 17th. We’re diving into the "melancholy love song" vibes of her upcoming third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love. Then, we celebrate a massive cross-continental collaboration: South African Grammy winner Zakes Bantwini has teamed up with the legendary Sting for a high-energy remix of the classic "Desert Rose." Finally, we’re on "Tyla Watch" as she teases her second album, A-Pop. We’re decoding the clues behind her new single "She Did It Again"—is the mystery feature really Zara Larsson, or is Tyla playing with our hearts? Is it a "News It" or a "Lose It"?
