Sad Night Dynamite Share Origins of “What Does That Make Me” Video: Exclusive
Origins is a recurring new music series giving artists the opportunity to share exclusive insights into their latest release. Today, Sad Night Dynamite breaks down the music video for their new track, “What Does That Make Me?” It’s a treat to see Sad Night Dynamite in the sunshine. Usually, the stylish UK duo (comprised of Archie Blagden and Josh Greacen) paints its unique universe in dark shades of blue and purple, with spooky, gothic sonics and melodies that are both eerie and comforting. But for the video for their newest track, “What Does That Make Me?,” the duo decided to expand their universe to include brighter hues, with cerulean skies, bright green flora and fauna, and strong blasts of golds and yellows. “Even though at first this song is very different for us, we want Sad Night D...
Eyedress Shares Origins of ’80s-Inspired “DREAM DEALER” Video: Exclusive
Origins is a recurring new music series giving artists the opportunity to share exclusive insights into their latest release. Today, LA-based bedroom pop artist Eyedress shares the origins of the video for his new track, “DREAM DEALER.” Rising bedroom pop artist Eyedress is gearing up to release his highly-anticipated new album Full Time Lover on Friday (August 26th), and a few weeks ago, he shared a new single, “DREAM DEALER,” from the LP. “DREAM DEALER” features The Neptunes member Chad Hugo, but Eyedress maintains his inimitable hazy style of pop throughout — though his earlier recordings possess an appropriately lo-fi aesthetic, “DREAM DEALER” and Full Time Lover‘s earlier singles feature Eyedress at his most refined and specific. Today (August 22nd), “DREAM DEALER” receives an ’80s in...
Corey Taylor Appears Masked and Unmasked in Music Video for Slipknot’s “Yen”: Watch
Slipknot have unveiled the music video for their new song “Yen,” featuring both a masked and unmasked Corey Taylor. The eerie clip comes ahead of the band’s forthcoming album THE END, SO FAR and fall Knotfest Roadshow tour. The outing launches September 20th in Nashville and runs through October 7th in Irvine, California. Get tickets via Ticketmaster. “Yen” is the latest single from the aforementioned album, and the band’s own M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan directed the music video, which is as demented as it is decadent. Cutup vignettes of gothic imagery and psychedelic horror are mashed up to create a nightmarish seven-minute sequence. Clown makes prominent use of Slipknot’s primary colors, red and black, to add an unsettling visual atmosphere. Advertisement Related Video One notable tidbit is ...
Eddie Vedder Shares Heartfelt Cover of Joe Strummer’s “Long Shadow”: Stream
Eddie Vedder is celebrating the birthday of his late friend Joe Strummer with a cover of “Long Shadow.” The song originally appeared on 2003’s Streetcore, a posthumous album the Clash singer recorded with his band The Mescaleros. Vedder can be heard singing “Long Shadow” in a video produced and directed by Lance Bangs. It feels like an especially appropriate setup for honoring a friend who’s passed away, as the Pearl Jam frontman plays his acoustic guitar by a crackling firepit — perhaps a nod to Strummer’s Fender Campfire? It’s also certainly not a coincidence that the cover has arrived just in time for what would be Strummer’s 70th birthday, which is August 21st. “I just think that what Joe did with the Mescaleros and those records, and those songs, and those words, it was a ve...

The announcement comes along with a music video for the title track that showcases the Danish quintet’s raw and visceral live set. Over 12 tracks, Shake the Feeling offers a peek into the band’s vault during the era between 2014’s Plowing Into the Field of Love to last year’s Seek Shelter. The album features a bounty of unreleased material like an acoustic rendition of their early 2021 single “Shelter Song” and covers of Bob Dylan’s “I’ll Keep It with Mine” and Abner Jay’s “My Mule.” The collection also hosts a few songs that won’t be entirely unfamiliar to fans, including the Beyondless outtake “All the Junk on the Outskirts,” whic...

Anitta Recruits Missy Elliott for New Song “Lobby”: Stream
Brazilian pop star Anitta has enlisted the help of Missy Elliott for a groovy new single called “Lobby.” It’s out today, along with an equally funky accompanying music video. Few things are timeless as a luxury hotel, but on “Lobby,” Anitta and Elliott aren’t as concerned with the hotel as they are with what they plan to do inside the hotel. “Kiss me from the roof to the lobby/ Your lips on my body,” Anitta sings in the chorus, and hopefully, we don’t have to explain to you what that serves as a euphemism for. Elliott chimes in for the second verse: “Missy and Anitta, we rolling up to the party/ That hottie, he can get the keys to my Bugatti,” she raps, calling to mind visions of lavish parties that, for most of us, will just have to live inside our imaginations. Backed by a...
Maya Hawke Shares Smile-Inducing New Single “Sweet Tooth”: Stream
Maya Hawke has shared “Sweet Tooth,” the delectable second offering from her upcoming sophomore LP Moss. The single comes with an accompanying music video that was inspired by a dental emergency happening in realtime for the Stranger Things star. On “Sweet Tooth,” Hawke experiences the sweetness of unconditional love along with the unexpected stings from such a deep, emotional connection. Over a light, acoustic strum, she opens the tune with the lyrics, “Told my mother that I love her,” which is likely a dedication to her mother, actress Uma Thurman given the song’s first-person perspective. She gives further praise in the chorus, saying: “I’m grateful for everything you put me through/ It’s the only reason I’m any good to talk to,” before affectionately referring to the song’s subject as ...

The Streets Shares New EP Brexit at Tiffany’s: Stream
UK hip-hop veteran Mike Skinner has returned with a new EP under his moniker The Streets. The three-song project is called Brexit at Tiffany’s, and it’s out now along with the title track’s music video. Brexit at Tiffany’s is a smorgasbord of Skinner’s sonic personas as The Streets. Opening track “3 Minutes to Midnight,” which features grime artist Manga Saint Hilare, is driven by a pulsing beat that mirrors the imminent anxiety of the track’s nihilistic, dystopian themes: “It’s three minutes to midnight on the doomsday clock/ Hold up your lighter, we’re all still alive.” Closer “Test of Time” is more melodic, switching off between a driving synth and a piano backdrop. But the Jazz Morley-featuring “Brexit at Tiffany’s” is the most somber, comparing the agony of a breakup to the ...
BLACKSTARKIDS Announce New Project CYBERKISS*, Share “SEX APPEAL”: Stream
BLACKSTARKIDS are back with the announcement of their new project, CYBERKISS*, out September 23rd via Dirty Hit. As a first preview, they have shared a fresh track called “SEX APPEAL.” Check it out below. CYBERKISS* marks the follow-up to the Kansas City group’s 2021 debut album, Puppies Forever. The 17-song collection features a sole collaboration with labelmate beabadoobee. Check out the artwork and tracklist below; pre-orders are ongoing. Calling back to early aughts hip-hop, “SEX APPEAL” is a maximalist hit of braggadocio from BLACKSTARKIDS, as TheBabeGabe, TyFaizon, and Deiondre rap over blaring sirens and quirky percussion. “I’m up for the night, I don’t need a pill/ Don’t talk to me unless you got sex appeal,” the trio insist. In the single’s music video, they dance around a washed-...
Yeah Yeah Yeahs Are Aflame on New Single “Burning”: Stream
The great return of Yeah Yeah Yeahs continues today with the New York City indie stalwarts’ latest single “Burning,” the next preview of their forthcoming album Cool It Down. Produced by Andrew Wyatt, “Burning” is pure disco-coated dance floor fuel. It’s driven by a vigorous piano riff, inspired by Frankie Valli’s “Beggin’” as well as Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive.” The story of the song dates back to a fateful night when Karen O was 19: The vocalist had gone out for an impromptu drink with her roommate, and returned shortly after to find her East Village apartment engulfed in flames due to a candle she’d forgotten to put out. All her electronics, including her computer and cameras, were completely destroyed. “But oddly enough the items that held the most sentimental value rem...
