Rammstein Undergo Radical Plastic Surgery in Video for New Single “Zick Zack”: Watch
Rammstein have unveiled another new single ahead of their forthcoming album, Zeit. The latest song is called “Zick Zack” and it was preceded by a clever marketing campaign. On April 1st, Rammstein announced that they had invested in the “Zick Zack Beauty Clinic” in Berlin, which many fans thought to be an April Fools joke. While there’s no proof of the existence of the beauty clinic, fans around the world called a “Zick Zack” hotline to speak with a “team of experts.” Now, it’s evident that the campaign was tied to the new single and its accompanying music video, which, according to a press release, “deal with what is nowadays often a compulsive tendency on the part of the individual towards self-optimization, sometimes through radical alteration of the visual appearance by use of the scal...
Porridge Radio Unveil Heartbreaking New Single “The Rip”: Stream
Porridge Radio are gearing up to release a new album next month, and today they’ve shared the latest single, “The Rip,” and its accompanying music video. Meant to combine the “massive pop” of Charli XCX with the instrumentation of bands like Slothrust or Deftones, “The Rip” was the last song to be completed for Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder to the Sky after lead singer Dana Margolin took a few years to write the lyrics. Opening with new wave synths, “The Rip” combines 80s pop with shoegaze, as Margolin bares her soul about losing grip on a relationship. “You’re all that I need,” she screams. “The back of my head/ The back of my hands/ I threw it away before it went bad.” Advertisement Related Video “At the beginning, it was a song about a power dynamic where I was in control, by the end...
The xx’s Oliver Sim Frees Himself with Solo Single “Fruit”: Stream
Last month, Oliver Sim finally followed the path of his bandmates in The xx and put out his first solo single, “Romance with a Memory.” Today, the musician has shared another song called “Fruit,” which is also produced by Jamie xx, and an accompanying music video. “Fruit” is a sweeping number that lives somewhere between a ballad and a banger, recalling saccharine love songs of the ’80s. But “Fruit” isn’t an ode to a lover; instead, it acts as Sim’s proclamation of self-acceptance, rejoicing in queer identity. Those familiar with Jamie xx’s solo material will recognize his kaleidoscopic, clubby touch, though Sim’s deep vocals ensure the track is all his own. The music video for “Fruit” was directed by French filmmaker Yann Gonzalez, and it depicts Sim as a pop star yearning to embrac...
Post Animal Unveil New Song “No More Sports”: Stream
Post Animal are back with another look at their upcoming album Love Gibberish. This time, they’ve shared the hair metal throwback “No More Sports.” Listen to the single below. Post Animal have never been shy about their classic rock influences, but “No More Sports” takes the ’80s theatrics to a whole new level with choppy guitar, spacey synthesizers, and lyrics like “Going 95 down the highway of burning desire.” Even better, the single comes with a kaleidoscopic, partially animated music video that looks like it was ripped directly from a Guitar Hero performance. The Chicago psych rockers explained the origins of “No More Sports” in a statement, calling it “an ode to early arena rock of the ’80s with a twist of ego death. All the bravado of a hair metal song with lyrics that examine s...
Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser Shares New Song “Golden Air”: Stream
Back in February, Cocteau Twins singer Elizabeth Fraser and her partner, Massive Attack drummer Damon Reece, announced a new project called Sun’s Signature. Now, ahead of their self-titled EP, the duo have shared the song “Golden Air.” Listen to the single below. Where Cocteau Twins’ textured music muddled Fraser’s famously ethereal voice, the singer beckons clearly in “Golden Air,” a sparse track that features syncopated percussion and vocalizations before exploding into a wall of synthesizers. The track comes with a visualizer that sees, naturally, golden sunlight reflect through nature. Like the four other Sun’s Signature songs, “Golden Air” has existed in some form or another for quite some time. Fraser shared “Underwater” on a limited single back in 2000, and the duo performed so...

The event and the “Know Your Enemy” clip were directed by David Brodsky and Allison Woest for MyGoodEye. “This song speaks volumes about the state of the world, not only when I wrote the lyrics, but today, as well,” said singer Jesse Leach of the chosen single “Know Your Enemy.” “It shines a light on the various protest songs we’ve written over the years. To me, the message is equally important as the music, and this song is no exception. And regardless ...
Goose Share Carefree New Single “Hungersite”: Stream
Buzzy jam rockers Goose are about to release their long awaited new album Dripfield. Before we get the full LP in June, Goose have shared another single today called “Hungersite” along with an accompanying music video. While Goose have drawn a loyal following to their groovy psych rock, “Hungersite” cools things down a bit, layering breezy melodies over a vivid piano riff. Lyrically, the track wrestles with themes of self-worth and finding purpose in a society that tends to value productivity over true self-fulfillment. “Whenever broaching global commentary territory, even if discreet and non-invasive in nature, it seems important to simultaneously challenge awareness of the self, and how we may or may not be living up to the ideals to which we speak,” guitarist/singer Rick Mitarotond...
City Girls and Fivio Foreign Are “Top Notch” on New Single: Stream
City Girls return today with the new single “Top Notch,” a team-up with New York rapper Fivio Foreign. On the track, the duo of Yung Miami and JT blend their classic Southern hip-hop charm with the thundering grit of New York City drill rap. Like all good things City Girls, “Top Notch” is unapologetically braggadocious, as Yung Miami and JT flaunt their wealth and high status: “I’m the baddest bitch on your newsfeed,” JT spits over a track by British producer AXL Beats. “Y’all gossiping, but who the news feed?/ I’m in the sky box, you in the nose bleeds/ Fly bitches need privacy.” Meanwhile, Fivio doubles-down on his own rags-to-riches story: “When I was down, I was broke but I told ’em I knew I’d be rich by the top of the week,” he raps. Though Fivio claims “this is not a movie,” the...

Alanis Morissette has released a new version of her classic single “You Oughta Know,” and it’s a rendition sure to make even Lady Whistledown proud. The singer-songwriter teamed up with Duomo and Kroma Stings for an orchestral take on her seminal hit to coincide with its inclusion on Season 2 of Netflix’s Bridgerton. Dressed in a chic red pantsuit and surrounded by hanging flowers, Morissette sings, “And I’m here to remind you/ Of the mess you left when you went away/ It’s not fair to deny me/ Of the cross I bear that you gave to me/ You, you, you oughta know,” as the strings section swells, interspersed with clips of Jonathan Bailey’s dashing Anthony Bridgerton and newcomer Simone Ashley’s Kate Sharma. An instrumental version of the song is also included on the Season 2 soundtrack of the ...
Harry Styles Premieres New Single “As It Was”: Stream
A new Harry Styles era is officially upon us. The pop singer has shared “As It Was,” the first single from his forthcoming album, Harry’s House. Styles goes new wave for “As It Was,” where he grieves a broken relationship over a gentle, reverberating synth line. “Nothing to say/ And everything gets in the way/ Seems you cannot be replaced,” he sings in an understated croon, before repeating, “You know it’s not the same as it was.” In keeping with the song’s shimmering aesthetic, in the song’s accompanying music video, Styles does a moody interpretative dance in a red sequin jumpsuit, while his heartsick love interest dances in a blue costume of her own. Check out the clip, helmed by Ukrainian GRAMMY Award-nominated director Tanu Muino, below. Advertisement Related Video “Directing a Harry ...
Freddie Gibbs and Rick Ross Serve Up “Ice Cream” on New Single: Stream
Always a student of the game, Freddie Gibbs has teamed up with Rick Ross to pay tribute to Raekwon’s 1995 classic “Ice Cream,” a foundational track in the annals of East Coast hip-hop. “Ice Cream” reunites Gibbs with the ubiquitous Kenny Beats, who puts his own spin on the original sample chopped up by RZA. By sprinkling in a healthy dose of trap drums, the resulting beat rings off just as much as the Wu-Tang Clan architect’s, and Gibbs responds by firing off a barrage of rapid-fire rhymes. “A rap n**** gotta eat though/ Got bricks, n****, Shaq free throw,” he raps. “I’ve been on the package for a week, though/ Plug hit a n**** with the lingo/ Better have my money by domingo.” Meanwhile, Ross flosses with his designer clothing and jewelry before calling out snitches.
