Wet Leg Release New Song “Angelica”: Stream
Wet Leg are back with another new single ahead of their forthcoming self-titled debut album. Listen to the zany track “Angelica” below. An ode to lead vocalist Rhian Teasdale’s oldest friend, “Angelica” zips around with the irreverent energy we’ve come to expect from Britain’s buzziest band. A disjointed, Wire-like guitar riff zig-zags in the verses, while Teasdale sings of her friend’s thoroughly unimpressed reaction to a party. In the chorus, a wall of distortion blurs out the song’s initial angular melody. “It’s laced with disenchantment,” Teasdale said of the song in a statement. “Even though the chorus is ‘good times, all the time.’ That’s just impossible, isn’t it?” Advertisement Related Video In the accompanying music video, directed by the duo themselves, Teasdale and guitari...

Denzel Curry Teams Up with slowthai for New Song “Zatoichi”: Stream
Denzel Curry has reunited with slowthai to unleash “Zatoichi,” the latest preview of Curry’s highly-anticipated album, Melt My Eyez See Your Future. Co-produced by Pro Era’s Powers Pleasant and Jonnywood, the track is named after the Japanese samurai movie character of the same name, who is the subject of the longest-running action series in modern Japanese media. A blind and skilled swordsman, his journeyman tale fits the story Curry has been telling with this new era. The drum and bass-inspired beat transitions into a climactic breakbeat for slowthai’s chorus: “Life is short like a dwarf, fuck the world, intercourse/ Life’s a bitch, no remorse, but God forbid, we get divorced.” Advertisement Related Video Meanwhile, Curry channels Zatoichi while rhyming about trying to find peace. “I’m Z...
Rosalía Releases Playful New Song “Chicken Teriyaki”: Stream
With her highly-anticipated MOTOMAMI album on the way, Rosalía has dropped her party-starting new single “Chicken Teriyaki.” Watch the accompanying music video below. Featuring a thumping, hypnotic beat co-produced by El Guincho, Sky Rompiendo, Michael Uzowuru, and Noah Goldstein with Rosalía herself, the playful new track features the Spanish artist boasting about her fame and wealth. “En Nueva York visitando a mi joyero,” she sings in a rapped delivery. “Solo quiere cash, yo le doy mi dinero.” In English, this translates to, “In New York visiting my jeweler/ He just wants cash and I give him my money.” In the Tanu Muino-directed video, Rosalía takes a moment to show off some thick gold chains in-between putting on a fierce dance routine alongside a bevy of backup dancers.

Deb Never Drops New Song “Crutches”: Stream
Deb Never has shared the new song “Crutches,” a rocking ode to leaping before you look. “‘Don’t get ahead of yourself,’” the Pacific Northwest songwriter quotes to begin the song. “‘You’re running too fast/ Before you learn how to walk/ And now you’re on crutches,’” a person says. But Never ignores them: “Nobody cares about the things that you want/ You’ve got to go and get ’em,” she sings, before launching into a barnstorming chorus: “I’m tearing down the walls/ I’m storming in like thunder/ ‘Cause I’m tired of waiting for/ Better days.” Check it out below. “Crutches” is Deb Never’s first song since releasing her 2021 EP Where Have All the Flowers Gone. Next month she’s touring the UK with slowthai, and in April she’s hitting the road with Omar Apollo. Tickets a...
Florence and the Machine Share New Song “King”: Stream
Florence and the Machine are back with a new song called “King.” Watch its accompanying video, directed by Autumn de Wilde, below. Despite her obvious strength — “I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king,” Florence Welch declares — “King” sees the artist reevaluate her identity as a Woman in Rock™️ with newfound vulnerability. “As an artist, I never actually thought about my gender that much,” Welch said in a statement. “I just got on with it. I was as good as the men and I just went out there and matched them every time. But now, thinking about being a woman in my 30s and the future, I suddenly feel this tearing of my identity and my desires. That to be a performer, but also to want a family might not be as simple for me as it is for my male counterparts. I had modeled mysel...
Oso Oso Return with New Single “Pensacola”: Stream
Oso Oso return today with their first new music in almost three years. The emo-pop project founded by Jade Lilitri has shared the breezy single “Pensacola,” along with an accompanying music video. Conceptual storytelling is a running theme through much of Lilitri’s music, and “Pensacola” is no exception. Backed by an easygoing, staccato piano riff, the track tells the story of a man whose growing list of DUIs have prevented him from seeing his romantic partner 79 miles away. “Seventy-nine dollars to my name, staying alive by the sound of yours/ Just 79 miles out from your place,” Lilitri sings. The Dan Maddalone-directed music video sees Lilitri go about his mundane morning routine à la Stranger Than Fiction, until the visuals get interrupted by trippy distortion that seem to mimic th...

As a preview, they’ve shared “Back to the Radio” as the lead single. Co-produced by Tom Carmichael, Porridge Radio singer Dana Margolin, and drummer Sam Yardley, Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder to the Sky follows 2020’s Every Bad. In a statement, Margolin said she wanted the band’s third album to be stadium-epic’—like Coldplay.” First single “Back to the Radio” previews this cinematic quality with a slow-building ballad about fighting for a one-sided relationship in decline. Choppy, droning downstrokes buzz in the single’s feedback intro before Margolin begins chanting. “We cannot get better if we can’t talk about it,” she sin...
Grace McKagan Unveils New Song “Baby That’s Rock N Roll”: Stream
Grace McKagan, the daughter of Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan, has unveiled the music video for her new song “Baby That’s Rock N Roll.” Grace goes for a garage-rock sound this time around, combining a driving beat with fuzzed-out guitars. Director Connor Ellmann’s Super 8-style video adds to the vintage aesthetics, as Grace rides through the Hollywood hills on the back of a motorcycle. “The single speaks to the current mainstream attitude towards rock music, and how distorted it is from the original depth and authenticity from which it was derived,” Grace McKagan said in a press statement. “I’m not the guru on what rock is or isn’t, but the personification of the genre has evolved a lot, especially in these past couple of years. Studs, dirty sex, a guitar riff on a pop song, and wearin...
Kid Cudi and Nigo Team Up for New Song “Want It Bad”: Stream
Nigo has shared another new song from his upcoming album I Know NIGO, and this time, Kid Cudi is the MC to the fashion designer’s club beat. Check out the duo’s collaboration “Want It Bad” below. Produced by Pharrell Williams, “Want It Bad” sees an über-autotuned Cudi proclaim his desires Veruca Salt-style over moody synths. “I want to sleep good at night/ I want a temple, that’s right,” he sings, as bass pulses. “I’m finally on the up and up/ Can not stop, can’t have enough,” he insists. In the accompanying music video, directed by Harrison Boyce, the duo speed through the streets of Paris in a fancy Porsche before hitting the club. While Nigo maintains a silent background role in the clip, Cudi hams it up, red hair and black eyeshadow putting other wannabe punk rappers to shame. Advertis...
Bob Saget Cooks Bacon for Desiigner in His Final Role: Watch
Perhaps not the parting gift we deserve, but definitely the parting gift we need: Desiigner has shared the music video for his new single “Bakin,’” which stars, of all people, the late, great, Bob Saget, in one of his final roles. Alongside co-writers Slushii and DJ Whoo Kid, Saget makes bacon (with the help of sous-chef/adult film star Kendra Sunderland) for Desiigner in the music video, a double entendre that the actor himself called “the best dad joke ever” in behind-the-scenes footage of the shoot. America’s Dad probably isn’t the personal chef most rappers would think to hire for their baking needs, but when Desiigner calls his pal Snoop Dogg at the beginning of the clip looking for recommendations, Snoop insists, “Get Bob on the job.” Thank God he pulled through. DJ Whoo Kid to...
