Say what you want about Jordin Sparks’s bouncy new single “Red Sangria,” but she made some points when she said, “I’m still on your playlist / You can’t breathe with no air / Yeah, you been suffocated.” Sparks may shout out her 2008 hit “No Air,” but the American Idol days are more than 13 years behind her, and her first solo release in five years is teeming with confidence and fun. “Red Sangria” is as delicious as its boozy namesake, with choral shout-backs and verses mixed with a shot of self-love. The video, which features Grown-ish’s Francia Raisa, is a kick-back dance-party that matches the song in saccharine celebration. —Carson Mlnarik
