Sech Talks Black Lives Matter Movement at 2020 Billboard Latin Music Awards: ‘Hopefully, People Listen’
Sech had a big night at the 2020 Billboard Latin Music Awards on Wednesday night, where he took home his first-ever Latin Billboard trophy for best new artist of the year and performed his 2020 hit “Relación” with a gospel choir. But before taking the stage, the Panamanian artist opened up about the Black Lives Matter movement on the red carpet. “I don’t know if it made a difference or how people received it, but it came from my heart to truly support everything that was going on and talk about the topic,” he told Billboard, referring to a heartfelt post he shared on social media in June amid the worldwide protests in response to the death of George Floyd and other Black citizens who have died at the hands of police. “Hopefully those people who are not aware listen and take conscienc...

Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Letter To You’ Has Arrived: Stream It Now
Earlier this week, Springsteen joined Zane Lowe on Apple Music for a deep-dive into his career, his thoughts on writing a book, his Broadway show and so much more. “It was a great project for us,” he says of the new album, “because I don’t think we’ve ever played live together in the studio and then kept everything that we did on the full take, all the singing, all the playing. It’s The E Street Band really completely live. And I overdubbed a few solos and things, but it’s really the band in one shot. We’ve played live in the studio before, but never kept everything, always gone back in and overdubbed a vocal or overdubbed, put other things on.” Letter to You was produced at Springsteen’s home studio in New Jersey with Ron Aniello, mixed by Bob Clearmountain a...

Sigur Rós Announce Release Date of Odin’s Raven Magic
Since forming 18 years ago, fans have hoped that Sigur Rós would release Odin’s Raven Magic. And today, their wish has been granted. Featuring the Schola Cantorum of Reykjavik and L’Orchestre des Laureats du Conservatoire national de Paris, the Icelandic outfit’s orchestral body of work will be out on Dec. 4 on Krunk via Warner Classics. Reykjavik Arts Festival commissioned the creation of Odin’s Raven Magi in 2002, and it brought the band, Icelandic musical hero Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson and Steindór Andersen, who’s a fisherman and one of the county’s well-respected chanters, together for the project. “Hrafnagaldur Óðins has lots of interpretation and implications that fire up the imagination… It’s a very visual poem, with images all about falling down, and a world freezing from north to sout...
Yaeji Drops Dreamy Electronic Ballad “When In Summer, I Forget About The Winter”
Aren’t bonus tracks the best? As if artists didn’t offer up enough of their heart and soul in an album or EP, sometimes they find themselves so inspired that they give fans even more. Yaeji has done just that with “When In Summer, I Forget About The Winter,” a new bonus track from her scintillating April 2020 WHAT WE DREW 우리가 그려왔던 mixtape. Considering that project’s beautifully experimental tendencies, the new addition—a hypnotic, slow-burning 100 BPM lo-fi tune—is a natural fit. It’s a pensive ballad from the prodigious Korean-American electronic artist that only reinforces her status as one of the most trailblazing young producers in the dance music scene. In addition to the release of “When In Summer, I Forget About...

Rising New York musician Des Rocs is set to unleash a new EP, This Is Our Life, on December 4th. In advance of its release, he’s teaming up with Consequence of Sound to premiere the new single “Nothing Personal”. Des Rocs broke out as part of the duo Secret Weapons, and is now establishing himself as a dynamic solo act. His brand of rock ‘n’ roll features a frenetic and dramatic edge, with “Nothing Personal” offering up slices of post-punk and art rock. “‘Nothing Personal’ is music of the night,” Des Rocs tells us of the song. “It’s about bad people doing bad things and paying the price in this life and the next.

Kendrick Lamar’s Album Coming “Soon Soon” Teases TDE’s Punch
Source: MediaNews Group/Bay Area News via Getty Images / Getty Kendrick Lamar’s long-awaited, highly anticipated album is on its way, apparently. The news comes after a curious Twitter user quizzed Top Dog Entertainment’s president Terrence “Punch” Henderson on the status of Lamar’s highly anticipated drop. “When is Kendrick dropping,” the user asked. Punch replied, “Pretty soon.” Another user followed-up, “As in…this year soon?” “As in soon soon,” he confirmed. Unfortunately, “soon soon” isn’t an actual date on anyone’s calendar, but the response suggests it may hit streaming platforms by the end of this year. Thundercat, a phenomenal bassist who appeared on To Pimp A Butterfly and DAMN, hinted at working on the new project in March. Kung-fu Kenny knows his c...
