Thom Yorke Surprise-Releases New Song ‘5.17’
Thom Yorke has been focusing efforts on his Radiohead side project The Smile, which made it that much more surprising when he released a new solo track called “5.17” without warning this morning. Though it’s unclear why the song came out today, it may not be a coincidence that its arrival coincides with the third episode of Peaky Blinders’ sixth season — Yorke and his bandmate Jonny Greenwood reportedly contributed music to the show. “Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood contributed some original stuff,” Peaky Blinders director Anthony Byrne previously told NME. “I’m over the moon about all of that. The music has always been really important historically, and I was really keen to bring a dramatic score into it. We’re using that much more in this season. It’s a much ...

Listen to KDrew and Skye Holland’s Spellbinding House Track, “Needed You”
After his latest dance music masterstroke, KDrew has once again reinforced his standing as one of the scene’s most versatile producers. Today, the virtuosic DJ and electronic music producer unveiled “Needed You,” a gripping house track featuring Canadian singer-songwriter Skye Holland. Holland provides a stunning topline here, which floats atop KDrew’s anthemic production with a wispy cadence. In “Needed You,” KDrew turns back the clock to the 2010s, when electro and progressive house reigned supreme. He tightropes the wire between the two, interpolating dark reece bass and eerie arpeggios in the verses. Classic, soaring trance leads then take hold in the bridge, which ultimately builds and culminates in a gripping drop. Here, KDrew chops up an...

Marshmello Drops First Single From Upcoming “Joytime IV” Album: Listen
At long last, Marshmello has offered a taste of Joytime IV, the fourth installment of his long-running album series. Fans can now sink their teeth into the album’s first single, “BeFoRe U.” Marshmello turned back the clock here, showcasing the blissed-out, saccharine future trap sound that propelled him to superstardom. It’s a breath of fresh air for Mello loyalists, many of whom have become disillusioned by his pivot to hip-hop and contemporary pop music. It seems like a lifetime ago when Marshmello released the first edition of Joytime, his debut album, which dropped back in 2016. The record was a breakthrough for the subversive producer, who recently garnered his first Grammy Award nomination in the category of Best Dance/Electronic album for Shoc...

For WHIPPED CREAM, it’s always been about bangers. “Light of Mine”? Banger. “So Thick”? Banger. With a track record like this, it’s no surprise that her latest single, “CRY,” is also—well, you get it. A mind-bending fusion of midtempo, electronica and hyper-house, “CRY” is out now via Monstercat. Kicking off with eerie chords and haunting vocals, “CRY” quickly sets the scene for a tale that twists and turns with tension. “You won’t hear me cry,” its lyrics chant. An eerie bassline slowly creeps under the surface until the track’s cathartic drop, akin to a pitch black soundscape with menacing sound design. “It’s about having no tears, words, or energy left to give...

Multi-instrumentalist Ambrose Kenny-Smith handles vocals at first, before frontman Stu Mackenzie takes over with a rapid-fire refrain as the song catches fire: “left the tap on / swamping out of the sink / left the tap on / agua flowin’ in.” [embedded content][embedded conte...
