NEW MUSIC: D’Angelo – Black Messiah
15 DecAnd on December 15 music lovers freaked out in the best way possible as D’Angelo released his first new album in nearly 15 years when he dropped Black Messiah. The album is up on Spotify (see below) and click HERE to read a post from NPR Music and one HERE from Pitchfork.
On a personal level, it well into the night between June 9 and 10, 2012 we were deep in the middle of nowhere Tennessee (Manchester to be exact) at Bonnaroo inside This Tent for ?uestlove’s Superjam when we heard one of the most amazing and yet familiar voices on vocals. It was in fact the voice of D’Angelo, gracing the stage for the first time in 12 years. At that moment my friends and I looked at each other in amazement and were captivated by the R&B crooner. I didn’t think it could get better. Today it has. Welcome back, D’Angelo!
New Music: Jessie Ware – “Say You Love Me”
12 AugJust dropped today, new music from Jessie Ware. The track “Say You Love Me” will appear on her new album Tough Love which gets released October 21.
Listen to this song a few times and I think you’ll be listening to it on repeat for at least the rest of the day and probably the rest of this week. At about the 3:10 mark I can just imagine her singing this song live (you’ll understand when you listen) and now I can’t wait to see her in concert.

News: Bono Inspired by Temper Trap for New U2 Albums
11 JanSaw the below online and wanted to share as it’s not every day a rock legend like Bono gives praise to a band. Icouldn’t be happier for the Temper Trap and looking forward to their next album!
From the Herald Sun:
BONO has cited Melbourne band the Temper Trap as an inspiration on the new U2 album.
Talking on the U2.com site to fans, Bono said the band was working on three albums with different musical directions.
“Something really exciting is that finally the rock band is melting into clubland and experimenting with sounds that are not normally deemed authentic for the rock band – synthesizers, experimental sounds – which you can hear in an album by the Temper Trap,” Bono said. “That’s exciting, a new hybrid.”
The Temper Trap, whose hit Sweet Disposition was compared with the sounds of U2, has been recording its second album, due for release mid-year, in LA and London.
