Months ahead of their forthcoming comeback record’s debut, Paramore has dropped off one of the album’s lead tracks, dubbed “The News,” alongside a music video directed by Mike Kluge. The visual opens to an eyes-rolled-back, red-headed Hayley Williams, who blindly sings the introductory verses into a bright television screen and from a lonesome orange couch. Between experimental cuts and eye-gluing edits, the metaphorical video becomes artistic chaos: the lead singer rages against the “exploitative” news cycle in double, singing to herself from across the aforementioned sofa; and as the track reaches its climax, Williams addresses the camera with bloody-red teeth. All of this is to show the oftentimes negative effects of the never-ending, present-day news cycle. “‘The News’ is one of t...

Kelela has shared a vibe-heavy music video for her last month’s single “On the Run.” The track comes off of the singer’s forthcoming LP, Raven, which will mark her first full-length project in over five years when it releases in February. In the sultry, red-hued video, Kelela is joined by one of the song’s producers, Bambii. Together, the two drive through the desert, running away from a mysterious force. Kelela collaborated with video director Lee Wei Swee to bring the concept to fruition. “If you come my way, I’ma want that fire / But you’re on the run, I don’t wanna have a conversation,” she sings. “I don’t wanna wait but you know I’m all the way down / When you come my way, I’ma want that fire.” “On the Run” joined “Washed Away” and “Happy Ending” as the singles preceding the album’s h...

BTS may be on hiatus but RM is still making moves in the recording studio. Following in the footsteps of fellow band members J-Hope and Jin, RM delivered his new solo studio album Indigo last Friday. In addition to collaborations with Erykah Badu, Mahalia, Paul Blanco and more, the South Korean singer linked with Anderson .Paak on a song called “Still Life.” As he continues to promote the project, RM has shared a music video for the single, sans .Paak. The visual opens with the singer sitting down in a train car and opening his notebook. A serene mountainscape rolls past before the frame outside the window freezes, leaving RM stuck in time. He moves throughout the train car freely, cut with scenes of him dancing around a blank white space. In a recent Tiny Desk Concert for NPR, RM rev...

A$AP Rocky makes a guest appearance on the closing track of Metro Boomin’s new album Heroes & Villains. “Feel the Fiyaaaah” situated Rocky alongside an appearance from Takeoff, the duo’s first collaboration together, as well as the first posthumous song for fans to hear from the late Migos member. As fans await the follow-up record to 2018’s Testing, Rocky has shared that the new album will boast a heavy dose of Metro Boomin. While the two met over a decade ago, introduced by the late A$AP Yams, “Feel the Fiyaaaah” marks the first song they’ve released together. Speaking to GQ, Rocky said that his forthcoming album has so much Metro Boomin influence that it might as well be a collaborative LP. “I’m gonna put it to you like this: This next album needs to be just called Flacko Boomin, yo...
