What All Is On The LP
We can't wait to take a bite out of Fiona Apple's upcoming album. Read More »

Fiona Apple debuted “Every Single Night” at South By Southwest last month, and now the song, the first official single from upcoming LP (deep, deep breath) The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw, And Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do, is being added to iTunes tomorrow. We noted before that Fiona’s live rendition of the tune didn’t exactly scream “single” to us. But now you can give the recorded version a listen below and decide if it’s a decent appetizer before the singer offers up her first LP in seven years. More »

Ke$ha

Well, it’s finally here — Ke$ha’s collaboration with The Flaming Lips. And, as anticipated, it’s a mid-tempo love ditty about finding the inner courage to stay true to yourself. Just kidding! It’s totally bonkers and about doing acid during the apocalypse, featuring distorted guitars, a lot of clanging, and quite possibly more than one tortured cat. (No baby seals, though.) In short, everything we expected after that wild behind-the-scenes video featuring mountains of (fake?) cocaine. “It’s 2012, think we’re going to Hell,” K-Dolla sings before listing reasons why she may be doing just that. “I’m having fun while you’re having pain.” (Depending on your tolerance for screeching, that may indeed be the case.) If ever there was a song to put someone’s beard in your mouth, it is Ke$ha’s “Put Your Beard In My Mouth.” And if there is another, it is this. Listen below. More »

When it comes to Cheryl Cole‘s lead singles from her three solo albums, it goes a little something like this: “Fight For This Love” is a modern day classic (a proper “jam”, if you will), “Promise This”… well, we blocked that from our minds, quite frankly… and “Call My Name” is thankfully closer to the former than the latter. Like Scissor Sisters with “Only The Horses”, Cole enlisted Scottish DJ/producer for production chores on giddy dance floor treat “Call My Name”. Bounce below to listen More »

M.I.A.‘s “music” for the opening credits of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s new talk show from his couch, The World Tomorrow, has arrived, and well, it’s not really music at all. Instead M.I.A. created a 30-second dubstep instrumental, all wub-wub-wubbing and tinny drum hits. In the finished intro, images of politicians, cable news talking heads and a live demonstration featuring that ubiquitous Guy Fawkes mask flash on screen as the show’s host offers the following voice-over: More »

While the world seethes and whips itself into a maniacal frenzy in anticipation of Flo Rida‘s upcoming LP Only One Rida (Part 2), the rapper has gifted the masses with another tease of his sure-to-be aural masterpiece in the form of new song “Whistle”. Poor Flo — someone should have told him that whistling for a hit is so Summer 2011. Not that it matters, really, because with lyrics as classy as “girl, I’m gonna show you how to do it and we’ll start real slow, you just put your lips together and you come real close” how can it miss? Thar she blows, down below! More »

April 16th, 2012 // Leave a Comment

Norah Jones‘ Danger Mouse-produced fifth studio release doesn’t debut until May 1, but you can preview …Little Broken Hearts right now. The 12-track album, featuring the gently rolling first single “Happy Pills“, applies a sunny singer-songwriter sound to its melancholy lyrics — that title isn’t for nothing — which is a reinvention, but not a total departure for the Come Away With Me songstress. Head over to NPR to listen now.

has gone from singing about stereo hearts to public telephones, via ‘s lead Overexposed single “Payphone”, a catchy pop jam that features Pittsburgh MC and aims to be a “Moves Like Jagger”-like smash. Levine has said this is the band’s poppiest album yet (it was executive-produced by Max Martin, after all), and “Payphone” certainly underscores that statement. Head below to dial it a up!
