After a short hiatus, chart-topping R&B sensation The Hightails return with their highly anticipated fifth studio mixtape, Sweet Cheetah Music, Volume 5: The Ode to Toxicity — a bold, soul-baring exploration of heartbreak, toxic relationships, infidelity, deception, and betrayal. The mixtape launched a global release on July 1 via DION Creative Agency.

 

Known for their velvet harmonies, timeless ballads, and emotionally raw storytelling, The Hightails step into deeper, darker territory with Sweet Cheetah Music, Volume 5: The Ode to Toxicity. The 15-track mixtape captures the painful journeys of broken trust and the unraveling of love — blending vintage 90s soul textures with modern production and haunting lyrical depth.

 

From the upbeat openers like “Toxic Lovers” and "Poison In Hearts" to the classic revisits of chart toppers like "If It Isn't Love" and "Silly" this SCM mixtape features some of the best work from producer I.D. Swagger. The group’s signature vocal chemistry shines through each track, inviting listeners into an intimate, confessional space where vulnerability is power.

 

Critics who previewed the album at a private listening session in Los Angeles have called Sweet Cheetah Music, Volume 5 “the group’s most mature and emotionally resonant work to date.” The mixtape is full of hard truths and heartbreaking honesty.
