If you’re into music, you very well know the Chance the Rapper song, “All Night” and probably all of the lyrics. But how about who sings the hook on it? Knox Fortune, that’s who and he just released a new song in the past week, “Lil Thing.” Give a listen!
It’s as if this remix was crafted just for me! Who am I kidding?! But really this was a pleasant surprise to wake up to on Friday morning, Alt-J x Baauer! One of the best bands out there today and the perfect DJ/producer to remix “In Cold Blood” and quite candidly the one of the only DJs who could get me to go to a nightclub these days. Give a listen and happy Friday!
Yes, more new music was just released by GORILLAZ! Click play below and give a listen to “Sleeping Powder.” The track is actually from 2D and was released on the band’s mobile app. More words can be found HERE from Rolling Stone. Plus, don’t forget that GORILLAZ are headlining Life is Beautiful 2017 this September in Downtown Las Vegas, September 22-24, hope to see you there!
Time to keep rocking out on this fun new music Thursday?! Whatever it is, I’ll take it and I’m hoping you are as excited as I am to hear some new Arcade Fire! Click play below and give a listen to “Everything Now,” also the name of the bands’ much anticipated fifth LP which was announced today. More words HERE from Pitchfork including production notes which includes Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk, Arcade Fire, and Pulp’s Steve Mackey. The new album drops July 28 via Columbia Records.
Crazy week for new music! So many good new tunes keep dropping but today it’s all about The War On Drugs! The Philadelphia outfit has released, “Holding On,” the second track (following “Thinking of a Place” which was released on Record Store Day) set to appear on the bands’ fourth studio album, A Deeper Understanding on August 25. Give a listen and rock on!
RTJ3 is almost here and now the dynamic duo of Killer Mike and El-P have dropped the second track from the upcoming LP due out January 13. Click play and give a listen to “Legend Has It.”
For all of us who grew up listening to A Tribe Called Quest, last Friday was like winning the lottery with the first new album in 18 years (RIP Phife). How it went down (read it here), the timing, etc. all aligned at the right moment. Don’t believe me? Have you listened to the album?! Plus Pitchfork just gave it a 9.0! Now comes the first music video for the lead single, “We The People…”
Click play and give a listen to this Sia and Kendrick Lamar collab, “The Greatest.” Words from Rolling Stone, here.
Just in time for Life is Beautiful 2016, Empire of the Sun have premiered a new track, “High and Low” off the forthcoming album, Two Vines, due out October 28. More words HERE from NME but the album is going to feature some music heavyweights including Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham, Wendy Melvoin (from Prince’s band The Revolution), and pianist Henry Hey and bassist Tim Lefebvre, both members of David Bowie’s ‘Blackstar’ band.
