Beach Bunny Receive a Broadcast from Bob Odenkirk in New “Karaoke” Video: Watch
Beach Bunny are gearing up to share their sophomore album Emotional Creature. But before it’s out July 22nd, the Chicago power-pop quartet have unveiled the record’s third single “Karaoke” today, as well as its galactic music video that features an out-of-this-world cameo from a longtime fan of the band: Bob Odenkirk. “Karaoke” is a sun-soaked guitar pop jam and an instant earworm. Its lyrics navigate the sweet nuances of a crush in its early stages, where you understand just enough about someone to feel that sense of overwhelming attraction while still maintaining a sense of playful mystery. “I learn all the words to your daydreams/ Like I’m trying to sing karaoke,” bandleader Lili Trifilio sings, before ushering in a ba-ba-ba chorus that immediately encourages you to sing along. “[‘...

Tove Lo is back today with the new single “No One Dies from Love.” Co-written with her frequent collaborator Ludvig Söderberg, the sizzling dance floor anthem arrives with an eye-catching music video. Punctuated by staggering synths and a four-on-the-floor beat, “No One Dies from Love” harks back to lovelorn ballads of the ’80s, transported to 2022 with Lo’s knack for club-ready hooks. A definitive Sad Banger in the vein of Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own,” the track sees Lo mourn the departure of a dear partner: “No one dies from love/ Guess I’ll be the first,” she sings in the chorus. “When you’re with someone for a long time and it ends all of all sudden, it’s like a part of you has died,” Lo said in a press release. “This person is now a stranger to you. All of the memories are tainted. For...

Tegan and Sara Sign to Mom+Pop Music, Release “Fucking Up What Matters”: Stream
Tegan and Sara have unveiled the new single “Fucking Up What Matters,” which marks their first release since signing with their new label partner Mom+Pop Music. The twin sisters make a clear statement on the propulsive pop number, co-produced by John Congleton. It mixes their buoyant, catchy hooks with a brazen lyrical punch. In the verses, their self-aware songwriting meets unapologetic self-destructiveness as they stress over impulsive urges, but the pair can’t help but hope that the irresistible feeling is mutual, ending with the refrain: “You’re like a tattoo/ Something I can’t undo/ I hope I got under your skin, too.” In a statement, Tegan Quin shares: “‘Fucking Up What Matters’ felt like an ode to the moment in your life when you realize that you have most, if not all, of the things ...
Metric Announce New Album Formentera and 2022 Tour Dates
Metric have announced their return with a new album, lead single, and massive North American tour. Entitled Formentera, the the Canadian band’s eighth studio album arrives on July 8th. Of the lead single, “All Comes Crashing,” frontwoman Emily Haines said it “is a love song that goes beyond romantic love, it’s an expression of solidarity with whoever it is you would want to have beside you in the event of catastrophe.” The track reflects this as it switches from buzzing, pulsing choruses and quiet, reflective verses. “Starting over won’t be easy, broken divided/ Split tomorrow from today,” sings Haines. “Knowing what you know/ Just makes it harder to think straight/ Starting after it breaks.” You can check out the “All Comes Crashing” video from director Justin Broadbent ahead.

Justin Bieber Released a New Joke Rap as if the World Isn’t Bad Enough
Justin Bieber’s whole life has conspired to make him not funny. He’s too handsome to need to compensate, and he became massively famous at exactly the wrong age, 14, when his peers were being bullied into developing personalities. He laughs at his own jokes like a real-life version of Mozart in Amadeus; the ridiculous laugh of someone who knows his admirers will join in. And so it’s no surprise that his new joke rap song, “I Feel Funny,” will leave you feeling anything but. The one-minute long track features Biebs whisper-rapping over a beat with a steady whump-whump-whump like a wallet slapping the sides of a dryer. The lyrics are as humorless as a comment section, and Bieber’s wit, such as it is, comes in the form of over-pronouncing words. “You entice me,” he says, snapping off the ‘t.’...
Angel Olsen Goes “Big Time” Country on New Song: Stream
Angel Olsen isn’t just dabbling in classic country tropes, she’s embracing her inner Patsy Cline on “Big Time,” the title track from her upcoming album of the same name. “Big Time” is full of golden era country references, from the dignified warble of a pedal steel guitar, to a keyboard that sounds like the kind of tack piano that used to squawk through honky tonk bars. The lyrics are full to the 10-gallon-brim with yearning, but it’s a playful yearn, horny to suite a Saturday night but still chaste enough for Sunday morning. “And I’m living, I’m loving, I’ve loved long before,” Olsen coos. “I’m loving you big time, I’m loving you more.” Advertisement Related Video The song comes with a music video directed by Kimberly Stuckwisch. It shows Olsen performing in a wood-pan...

Travis Scott Resurfaces on Southside and Future Collab “Hold That Heat”: Stream
Save for owners of Kanye West’s Stem Player, fans haven’t heard new music from Travis Scott since the November 2021 tragedy at Astroworld. Today, the Houston rapper has resurfaced on “Hold That Heat,” a collab between Future and 808 Mafia producer Southside. Over one of Southside’s signature woozy trap beats, Travis celebrates being one of the most successful rappers in the game with lyrics like, “One of the top of the barrel/ Number one, get all the zeros.” A clip of “Hold That Heat” leaked online last summer, so it’s likely that Travis added in his lines about spending “six months down out in Cabo” recently. Collaborators like Wheezy have spoken about traveling there to work with him for a while now. Future closes out the track with the hedonist rhymes fans have come to expect: “I got a ...
Liam Gallagher Welcomes “Better Days” with New Single: Stream
Liam Gallagher is here to lift your spirits with “Better Days,” the latest preview of his forthcoming solo album C’MON YOU KNOW. The former Oasis frontman’s new single arrives today with an accompanying music video. “Better Days” feels like a natural progression for Gallagher, evoking the thrill of ’90s arena rock while cloaking it in a modern sheen. Switching between mellow verses and a bombastic, soaring chorus, the Britpop icon urges you to see the light. “If you’re lost, I’ll find you there/ With the sunlight in your hair/ And the sadness washed away by the rain,” he sings just before the breakneck drums come in. The music video for “Better Days” channels a similar nostalgia. Tuned-in Oasis fans might notice the parallels between this rooftop location and the set used in the ...
