Van Morrison and Eric Clapton Are At It Again in ‘The Rebels’
Van Morrison and Eric Clapton joined forces again for “The Rebels,” a duet of “Where Have All the Rebels Gone” from Morrison’s new album Latest Record Project: Vol. 1. An accompanying animated video shows drawings of musicians including Axl Rose, Robert Johnson, Kurt Cobain, Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead on “Wanted: Rebel” posters. The questioning call to action lyrically asks, “Where have all the rebels gone / They’re not saying very much at all,” and surmises that they’re “hiding behind their computer screens.” In December 2020, the duo released “Stand Up and Deliver,” which followed controversial tunes from Morrison that protested lockdown measures in the United Kingdom throughout the pandemic. The elder statement of blues-rock shared the song as Slowhand & Van, which soun...
Marshmello’s New Album is Bangers Galore—Listen to “Shockwave” Now
After months of teasing, Marshmello has finally released Shockwave, a 12-track masterstroke channeling the producer’s long-lost electronic roots. The record kicks off with the spellbinding “Fairytale,” a brooding beat that eventually culminates in a thick melodic trap drop with booming hip-hop 808s. The tongue-in-cheek “Supernovacane” follows, in which the polarizing producer tips his helmet to his haters with a flippant vocal intro. “Marshmello is the most overrated electronic music artist by the way, ever to exist, of all-time,” whines an uncredited blowhard. “It’s so mediocre. To have it become so popular makes no sense.” One of the album’s most anticipated cuts, “Jiggle It,” delivers thank...

DANK Links With Frankie Bones for Hypnotic Techno Track, “I Can’t Stop Raving”
After Brooklyn-based dance music veteran DANK previously mentioned that he’s “sitting on a wealth of new music,” that statement is proving to be true. Following the release of his rave-ready remix of Jason Cluff’s “Here For Music” just weeks ago, the techno titan has returned with an original track alongside Frankie Bones, another venerated New York techno tastemaker. “I Can’t Stop Raving” features a percussive four-on-the-floor beat, which churns along with thick kick drums. Heavy-hitting sonics coalesce with hypnotic vocoded vocals, with the earwork of a refrain chanting “I can’t stop” for a club-ready roller. In this composition DANK and Frankie Bones expertly channel the dark yet infectious energy o...

K.Flay Teams With Travis Barker for ‘Dating My Dad’
Alt-indie singer K. Flay partnered up with modern rocker and Blink-182 drummer, Travis Barker for her new song, “Dating My Dad.” Don’t worry, the song is not about the singer-songwriter dating her actual dad, but it’s the next closest thing. “This is basically 6 months of therapy condensed into a single song. You spend so much of your life thinking that you’re the exception,” Flay said about the track in a statement. “But at the end of the day, you’re just like everyone else — becoming a version of your parents or falling in love with one. Or both. “I wanted this song to feel playful though, because I was honestly laughing while I wrote that chorus lyric: ‘mom and dad we love em, either fuck em or become em,” she continued. “There are patterns in our lives and in our families that we can e...
