Blanke and RUNN Connect on Shimmering New Single “Lights Out”
Following last month’s collaboration with Donna Tella, “Stuck On You,” Blanke has now tapped RUNN for their new soaring single “Lights Out” via his newfound home, Ophelia Records. Blanke has recently embraced the soaring, heartfelt style that Ophelia embodies and “Lights Out” continues that trend. RUNN’s aching vocals shimmer as they lead listeners into a synth-heavy drop lightly dusted with pounding percussion. The second drop feels even more triumphant, teasing with a slight delay before once again letting the synths take center stage. “Lights Out” is one of Blanke’s most beautifully constructed songs yet, indicating another strong year from the Australian producer. The track is the second single off of his forthcomi...
FISHER Returns With Funky House Single “Palm Beach Banga”
With his breezy Hawaiian t-shirts, infectiously loud laugh, and aptitude for expletives, Australian house music producer FISHER is most definitely the life of the party.

Eddie Vedder Unveils New Album Earthling: Stream
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder has unleashed his long-awaited new solo album, Earthling. Listen to the project below. Earthling marks Vedder’s first solo project since 2011’s Ukulele Songs.

Kanye West Drops “City of Gods” with Fivio Foreign and Alicia Keys: Stream
Kanye West is set to return on February 22nd with Donda 2. In anticipation, he’s shared “City of Gods,” a new collaboration with Fivio Foreign and Alicia Keys. Decidedly an East Coast number, Brooklyn drill rapper Fivio Foreign and concrete-jungle native Alicia Keys help Ye celebrate New York with thunderous bass and a skittering beat. “New York City, please go easy on me tonight,” Keys sings gently, but West, meanwhile goes on the offensive. Threatening to pull up to SNL — where a certain someone works — West spits, “When I pull up, it’s dead on arrival/ They act like they love you, they don’t even like you.” Wonder what that’s about. Listen to “City of Gods” below. In other beef-related Kanye news, the rapper recently said he wouldn’t play Coachella unless fellow headliner Billie Eilish ...
