ZOLA and DEVMO Team Up for Cinematic Hip-Hop and Trap Hybrid, “Lemon Tree”
While ZOLA is relatively new to the scene, having emerged in 2018, “Lemon Tree” is his 28th track to date—and his most impressive thus far. “Lemon Tree” is representative of a breakthrough for the budding electronic music producer, who admits it “helped [him] to feel comfortable trusting [his] taste and stopping trying to recreate what other artists had been doing.” After all, they say it’s always best to trust the process. For his latest track, ZOLA tapped the fiery DEVMO, whose lyrical prowess shines over a cinematic beat. Her witty bars tell a tale about “blooming like a lemon tree” through fluid rap verses. She speaks to the symbolism of a lemon tree, which represents abundance, longevity and optimism. The arrangemen...

Starcrawler Unleash New Single “Roadkill”: Stream
Starcrawler have kicked off a new era with their propulsive new single, “Roadkill.” Stream it below. With brothers Henri and Bill Cash’s chugging guitars and frontwoman Arrow De Wilde’s snarling vocals, “Roadkill” leans away from the ’70s glam rock found in Starcrawler’s previous work while moving more into punk territory. “You want mommy to hold your hand? You’ll be my Roadkill, Roadkill,” De Wilde sings. “Run you over see how it feels.” In a statement about the track, De Wilde said, “‘Roadkill’ is about anyone that tries to dig their heels in the ground and stand in your way.

Olivia Rodrigo Covers No Doubt’s “Just a Girl”: Watch
Olivia Rodrigo seems acutely aware that she’s standing on the shoulders of giants, and during her “Sour World Tour” she has continued to pay homage to the women who came before. On Friday night in Philadelphia, Rodrigo honored Gwen Stefani and No Doubt with a rollicking cover of “Just a Girl.” Wearing black boots underneath a flowing white dress with a structured corset top, Rodrigo stomped across the stage of The Met as she powered through the ska pop classic. She’s become a comfortable live performer, and enjoyed leaning over the front row to deliver the lines, “The moment that I step outside,” at a whisper, before uncorking a howl on, “So many reasons for me to run and hide!” The 19-year-old’s audience wasn’t totally unfamiliar with the song, and while they let most of the ver...
black midi Announce New Album Hellfire, Say “Welcome to Hell” with New Single: Stream
black midi are ready to bring you to their post-punk netherworld with Hellfire, their third studio album. Before it’s out on July 15th via Rough Trade Records, the trio have shared the LP’s aptly-titled lead single “Welcome to Hell” today. Additionally, black midi have unveiled a list of 2022 tour dates in the US. Hellfire, black midi’s follow-up to last year’s Cavalcade, is billed as a concept album of sorts that juggles “themes of pain, loss, and anguish.” While Cavalcade was more melodic and their 2019 debut Schlagenheim was brutal and grating, black midi find the balance on Hellfire, which the band wrote in isolation in London. As guitarist/lead vocalist Geordie Greep puts it in a press release: “If Cavalcade was a drama, Hellfire is like an epic...
