Bobby Sessions Drops New Single “Gold Rolex” with Benny the Butcher and Freddie Gibbs: Stream
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-21T20:14:37+00:00“>May 21, 2021 | 4:14pm ET Bobby Sessions joins forces with Benny the Butcher and Freddie Gibbs on his new single “Gold Rolex,” out today via Def Jam. On the track, the trio of rappers decry the capitalist structure that fuels America’s materialistic culture, all while taking aim at everything from Donald Trump to the prison industrial complex. “Took the shackles off my soul, never sold it for a cent/ Now the wrist is full of gold, I hit the goal and now I’m rich, uh/ Made some new ones/ Kept this shit one hundred, now it’s paired up with the blue ones/ I expose the system, take a look at how they do us/ They wanna hang me, tell the world that I’m a nuisance/ P**...
Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour Has A Song For Every Mood
The biggest pop song of the year begins like a diary entry. “I got my driver’s license last week,” Olivia Rodrigo sings, then quickly adds another person to the narrative: “Just like we always talked about / ‘Cause you were so excited for me / To finally drive up to your house.” By now, we know that the story ends with her passing the street and leaving the subject of the song in the rear view. But we also know the addictive engine that fuels her No. 1 hit “Drivers License” — highly personal songwriting coupled with excellently crafted song structures — is the same one powering Rodrigo’s entire career, as heard on her impressive debut LP, Sour, out today (May 21). With help from her co-writer Dan Nigro, Rodrigo splits open her rock...
Bop Shop: Songs From BTS, Lakeyah, Aly & AJ, And More
It’s comeback season! Ultimate boy band BTS is back with another Song of the Summer contender with the upbeat, retro, free-flowing “Butter.” Marking a true evolution from the “Dynamite” era, BTS maintain their unique musicality and artistry while also pushing themselves to new heights both sonically and visually (hello, electric blue hair!). Accompanied by an equally brightly colored, vintage-toned music video, the group’s always flawless choreography is, dare I say, “smooth like butter,” and truly displays the members’ teamwork and synchronicity. BTS tend to give their fans the songs they feel they need in the moment. Coming off the heels of “Life Goes On,” “Butter” is the perfect gift to ARMYs who are entering hopefully a much better, lighter, fully vaccinated 2021. —Sarina Bhutani You D...
Lil Nas X Saves His Younger Self In Emotional ‘Sun Goes Down’ Music Video
After sliding down a stripper pole to hell, then seducing and dethroning Satan in the music video for “Montero (Call Me by Your Name),” a flamenco-rooted banger that sent the internet and conservative pundits into chaotic frenzies for its controversial imagery, Lil Nas X is back with another cinematic visual. And this one’s his most personal yet. On Friday (May 21), Lil Nas X dropped “Sun Goes Down,” a somber track that reflects on the artist’s past struggles coming to terms with his sexuality and identity as a gay man. The track spotlights a slow-whining guitar plucking that lends the composition a melancholic sound, over which Nas X sings: “I wanna run away / Don’t wanna lie, I don’t want a life.” The string elements mirror that of “Montero,” which was mastered by ...
Twin Shadow Announces Self-Titled New Album, Shares “Get Closer”: Stream
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-21T14:39:47+00:00“>May 21, 2021 | 10:39am ET Twin Shadow has announced his fifth full-length, a self-titled release due out July 9th via Cheree Cheree. As the latest preview of the LP, the artist aka George Lewis Jr. has shared the new single “Get Closer”. Twin Shadow comes three years after Lewis Jr.’s last album, Caer. It also marks a major sonic shift from that and Lewis Jr.’s other past projects, something that’s already been hinted at with early singles “Alemania” and “Johnny & Jonnie”. Twin Shadow made his name on synthpop deeply indebted to cinematic ’80s styles, but Twin Shadow owes more to the golden age of soul and Lewis Jr.’s Dominican heritage. In fact, some ...
Florence and The Machine Unveil New Song “Call Me Cruella”: Stream
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-21T14:44:55+00:00“>May 21, 2021 | 10:44am ET The official soundtrack for Disney’s live-action Cruella is out today, and it’s led by Florence and The Machine‘s new song “Call Me Cruella”. The song kicks off with a reinterpretation of the classic tune from 1996’s 101 Dalmations. “Cruella De Vil,” Florence Welch muses, “Cruella De Vil/ She’s born to be bad/ So run for the hills.” But where the original relied on piano and horns for a slinky, jazzy feel, Welch is here to rock. Over a driving bass line, she layers on guitars, strings, vocal oohs and ahs, and other touches of baroque pop. “Call Me Cruella” continues to gather in strength like a tidal wave, and it comes c...
Stöner, Featuring Kyuss’ Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri, Announce Debut Studio Album Stoners Rule
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-21T14:48:12+00:00“>May 21, 2021 | 10:48am ET Stöner, a new project from former Kyuss members Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri, have announced their debut album, Stoners Rule. The seven-song LP arrives June 25th via Heavy Psych Sounds, and has been preceded by the single “Nothin’”. Kyuss are considered pioneers of the desert/stoner rock style, and Oliveri and Bjork are fully embracing the “stoner” tag with their new outfit, hence the band’s name. The single “Nothin’” dabbles in sludgy riffs, meditative repetition, and a general 420-friendliness. The desertscape on the album cover also calls back to Kyuss’ legendary 1992 album, Blues for the Red Sun. In addition t...
