New Major Lazer!!
What a week for new music it is and that goes for all genres. Here are my picks for the discs to pick up/download asap.
Kaskade drops Fire and Ice
Coldplay releases the much anticipated Mylo Xyloto
JUSTICE are back with what could be one of my favorite discs of 2011 in Audio, Video, Disco
Rhode Island’s finest Deer Tick release Divine Providence
Tom Waits keeps it going with Bad As Me
Pretty excited that today marked the release of Room To Run, the debut album from States. Definitely looking forward to giving the record a few spins over the next days but so far totally digging Mindy White’s vocals and the track “As Good As It Gets.” The rock outfit is sort of a hybrid of two bands consisting of White (formerly of the band Lydia) and three members from the band, Copeland.
States – “As Good As It Gets”
Thanks to a couple of friends I was turned on to Allen Stone, a really great up-and-coming soul singer. Just last week he released his self-titled record (his second full length disc) and wow, he has a sensational voice. I’ve had the album on repeat the entire day and I’m still loving what I’m hearing. Below is a video for “Say So,” which right now is my favorite track on the record.
If you are a fan of Stevie Wonder, James Morrison, Raphael Saadiq, Ryan Shaw, Matt Nathanson, Matt White, Matt Wertz and similar artists, you will definitely dig Allen Stone.
Added bonus, pick it up on iTunes for $5.99 right now.
Check it out, “Shake It Out” the second track released from Florence + the Machine’s upcoming album Ceremonials slated for a November 1 release. More words and information HERE via Spin Magazine including a comparison of the video to Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut.
The loooooong awaited debut album by J Cole, Cole World: The Sideline Story has finally arrived. Currently number one on iTunes, check out this article from the Wall Street Journal on the first artist signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation record label. After an endless summer that saw the rising artist tour nonstop and introduce himself to new groups of fans at major festivals, today he can celebrate as the album has dropped.
