The celestial track — which, according to the band, is not a “single” — closes out the album and clocks in at over 10 minutes. Coldplay released the album’s first single, “Higher Power,” last May.

Award-winning actor, musician, and creator Caleb Landry Jones announced his sophomore psych-rock album, Gadzooks Vol. 1, will be out September 24. Its intriguing lead single, “Bogie” is out now. “The perspectives from which I write, jump erratically and can turn on a dime,” Jones said in a statement. “Others grow and burn, only to sometimes vanish […]

Wade Randolph Hampton and Tef Foo’s “Seventh Heaven” party hadn’t even gotten to midnight when the shit hit the fan. It was New Year’s Eve 1996.

Tommy Genesis’ upcoming album, Goldilocks x, is a loaded fairytale. There’s a track with a banging house beat; another she describes as her “Drake moment,” where she goes full-blown Tommy-the-singer; and an entire middle section she calls a “Charlie Heat EP” — a string of tracks produced by the in-demand beatmaker. After giving pretty much everything […]

Following the scratchy, summertime lead single, “Solar,” Lorde has released “Stoned at the Nail Salon,” an elegantly written, FOMO-laced, quarter-life-crisis ballad that could sit on the same shelf as Lana Del Rey or W.B. Yeats. “Got a wishbone drying on the windowsill in my kitchen/ Just in case I wake up and realize I’ve chosen […]
When Def Jam Vendetta dropped in 2003, Raphael Saadiq was only kind of joking when he expressed disappointment in not being included in the hip-hop fighting game. He’d landed hits throughout the late ‘80s and ‘90s as a third of Tony! Toni! Toné!, produced for a who’s who of R&B, and was just beginning to […]
