Halle Bailey Releases Her Debut Solo Single ‘Angel’
Following her star-studded performance as Ariel in the highly-acclaimed live-action remake of The Little Mermaid earlier this year, Halle Bailey makes a remarkable comeback with her debut solo single, “Angel.”
The heartfelt ballad appears to be a powerful response to the criticism and racially motivated comments she faced as the first Black actress to portray Ariel in The Little Mermaid, which premiered in May 2023.
Through soulful lyrics, Halle sings, “Some might hate and they wait on your fall / They don’t know there’s a grace for it all / My flaws don’t make me. Beautiful and real are you, they cannot compare, all you / Perfectly a masterpiece in all of me, even my scars.” These empowering words reflect her resilience and determination to rise above the negativity and embrace her true self.
Halle Bailey’s performance as Ariel in The Little Mermaid contributed to the film’s massive success, grossing over $118 million during its opening weekend. But her talents don’t stop there, as she is set to grace the silver screen once again in another movie musical later this year. Audiences can eagerly anticipate her appearance in Blitz Bazawule’s The Color Purple, scheduled to hit theaters on Christmas Day.
With her powerful vocals and unwavering spirit, Halle Bailey continues to shine as a multifaceted artist, inspiring audiences worldwide with her grace and authenticity.

As previously reported by miixtapechiick.com, Queen Naija announced her engagement to Clarence White earlier this week. Today she made it official through music, releasing “Ring” via Motown Records.
“I had a while to really bask in my moment and now I’m ready to share it with the ones who have truly been here since the beginning to see it all unfold,” Queen said. “I’m so happy to be able to use music to express myself about my real life.”
“Ring” marks her first release since her EP 30. and arrives with early traction already built — the record generated over 1.3 million views and 200,000 likes across her native posts before release, and has sparked over 135 TikTok creations surpassing 2 million views.
After revealing the cover art earlier this week, JT returns with her new single “Numb.” Produced by Danes Blood, Ben10K, Chicken, and BAMBII, a limited signed 7-inch vinyl of the single is available for pre-order now exclusively at thegirljtworld.com.
“I ain’t never been a fake b*tch ever / I can never hang with a lame b*tch never,” she raps on the track.
The release comes off her surprise appearance at Coachella last weekend. JT appeared during Little Simz‘s set to debut their collaboration “Game On,” served as DJ and creative director for a Numb-inspired activation at the Do LaB stage, and hosted an afterparty at the Red Bull Mirage.
“Numb” follows “Girls Gone Wild,” released in November 2025, and her 2024 mixtape City Cinderella, which debuted in the Top 5 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
Chicago rapper Glizzy Glow and Atlanta rapper BunnaB have joined forces to release Glow’s latest single, “The Breakup Song,” accompanied by a music video directed by Blue Visionz.
Produced by Thankutimmy and Ki Cooked It, the track finds both artists taking aim at their exes. “Why would I be with you? …He put his chain around my neck, and they wonder why I’m cold / Every time we post a picture, all the b*****s yelling goals,” Glizzy Glow raps on her verse.
“The Breakup Song” follows “CUTWATER,” the 2025 single that put the Englewood, Chicago rapper on the national radar, accumulating 15 million views across platforms and 2.4 million on YouTube.
