The start of the year is a time where artists have the opportunity to frame the musical narrative. Coming out of the holiday season, it's been weeks since there's been a major new release. Getting out the gate early can give an artist a real competitive advantage. So today, we have two established artists who are trying to seize the moment with attention seeking new work that both builds off of their celebrity narrative as well as pop music history: Lil Nas X with "J. Christ" and Ariana Grande with "Yes, And?"
