Big Beat Records
Production trio Cash Cash follows Calvin Harris’ and David Guetta’s lead on “Take Me Home,” showcasing powerhouse newbie Bebe Rexha much like those DJs utilized vocalists Florence Welch and Sia, respectively. A thumping bassline steers the track admirably, and “Take Me Home” solidifies the group’s artistic status after successful production credits on Krewella and Megan & Liz songs. -Nick Williams
R&B
SAM SMITH
“Safe With Me” (3:04)
Producer: Two Inch Punch
Writers: Sam Smith, Two Inch Punch
Publisher: Stellar Songs/Sony-ATV
PMR Records
On every song he’s thus far appeared on, whether it’s Disclosure’s “Latch” or his own “Lay Me Down,” Smith’s vocal capability overpowers the ostentatiousness of the accompanying production. New solo single “Safe With Me” is no different: The U.K. singer declares his romantic devotion while altering the tone of his voice on the song’s hook, playing along with — and eventually surpassing — the spacey soundscapes of Two Inch Punch. -Erika Ramirez

RICH HOMIE QUAN
“Type of Way” (4:21)
Producer: Lionel Carter
Writer: Dequantes Lamar
Publishers: TIG7/Dequantes Lamar/Lionel Carter (BMI)
Rich Homiez/Think It’s a Game
Atlanta is producing a new crop of hip-hop studs, and Rich Homie Quan, who resembles Future in melodic might, is one of its most promising. “Type of Way,” from his “Still Goin’ In: Reloaded,” is a Southern rap banger full of unabashed boasting like “That car I’m driving/Make you feel some type of way.” -Dan Hyman
COUNTRY
RONNIE DUNN
“Kiss You There” (3:46)
Producers: Ronnie Dunn, Jeff Balding
Writers: Don Schlitz, Josh Kear
Publishers: various
Little Will-E/HitShop Records
As half of Brooks & Dunn for two decades, Ronnie Dunn’s voice was a staple at country radio, and this smoldering single continues his solo resurgence ahead of his sophomore album. An in-your-face love song with an insinuating groove and bold lyrics about PDA, “Kiss You There” proves that Dunn has lost none of his magic while placing his first name on the marquee. -Deborah Evans Price

FIFTH HARMONY
“Miss Movin’ On” (3:14)
Producer: The Suspex
Writers: various
Publishers: various
Syco/Epic
The pop quintet and “X Factor” alum’s debut single was helmed by production team the Suspex, which recently found top 10 success with Demi Lovato’s “Heart Attack.” The outfit duplicates that song’s start-stop electronic pull here. “Miss Movin’ On” doesn’t afford each girl much time to exhibit her vocal personality, but when the group bands together to deliver the breakup track’s chorus, Fifth Harmony flashes the power it exhibited on TV. -Jason Lipshutz
