To mark the release of the project, the MC also dropped the wild music video for lead single “Not Today” featuring Jake Shears and Tank and the Bangas’ Anjelika “Jelly” Joseph. “Not Today’ is a track about setting limits with people.

Grouper Shares New Single “Ode to the blue”: Stream
Almost as if she knew we needed her in times like these, Liz Harris will be releasing her next album as Grouper next month. Shade is out October 22nd via Kranky, and today, the ambient musician has shared the album’s latest single, “Ode to the blue.” Check it below via its accompanying music video. As to be expected of anything with Harris’ name attached, “Ode to the blue” is hushed and spare, with her delicate vocals nearly slipping away into the background. Some of the material on Shade was written as long as 15 years ago, and “Ode to the blue” features the same style of lo-fi acoustic guitar work that comprised many early Grouper tracks. The music video for the song comes from director Dicky Bahto. It’s correspondingly haunting and mild, showing black-and-white film foota...

Mac Miller fans rejoice: The late rapper’s 2014 mixtape Faces is finally hitting streaming services on October 15th. Miller first unveiled the project as a free download on Mother’s Day seven years ago. It features guest appearances from the likes of Earl Sweatshirt, Vince Staples, The Cool Kids’ Sir Michael Rocks, and more. A follow-up to his 2013 album Watching Movies with the Sound Off, the mixtape served to hold fans over until the Pittsburgh native dropped his third album, GO:OD AM, in September 2015. And that’s not all the good news: Faces will also be getting a special vinyl release the same day, with cover art co-created by the late rapper and Sam Mason. A portion of proceeds from vinyl sales will benefit The Mac Miller Fund, which was established by Miller’s family in his hon...

Adia Victoria Shares “You Was Born to Die” Featuring Margo Price and Jason Isbell: Stream
This Friday, September 17th, Adia Victoria returns with her third studio album, A Southern Gothic. Just ahead of its release, the singer-songwriter has shared another snippet of the album with the single “You Was Born to Die.” It’s her take on the Ernest B. McTell classic, and it features guests Margo Price, Jason Isbell, and Kyshona. “You Was Born to Die” is a dark, rootsy slow-burner that erupts into a ferocious cacophony of screeching guitars and searing vocals. “Last year the lessons I have learned on my walk in the blues — the business of love, lies, loss and spectacular death — surrounded my every waking thought like armor,” Victoria wrote in a statement. “In a society that attempts so suppress death into the unspoken, the blues has allowed me to death in dance’s face ...
St. Vincent Shares New Song “The Nowhere Inn” From Upcoming Mockumentary: Stream
At the end of this week, St. Vincent and Carrie Brownstein will finally see their mockumentary film The Nowhere Inn hit video-on-demand services and select theaters. In anticipation of the big event, St. Vincent has just shared “The Nowhere Inn,” the title-track from the movie, alongside a music video. Stream it below. As the film’s unofficial theme song, “The Nowhere Inn” is appropriately theatrical in sound. It captures St. Vincent giving a powerhouse ballad-style vocal performance, full of deep notes, full-on belts, and grandiose choral trills. Behind her is a jazzy rhythm section that morphs into an ’80s new wave beat midway through. It’s definitely a more traditional number, especially compared to the funk and ’70s rock hues of St. Vincent’s new album Daddy’s Home. In the track’s acco...

Beyoncé Covers “Moon River” for Tiffany & Co.: Watch
Beyoncé and Audrey Hepburn have quite a bit in common. They’re both style and beauty icons, they’ve both contributed to human rights efforts, they’ve both appeared in legendary films — and now, they’ve both sang Henry Mancini’s “Moon River.” As a part of Queen Bey and JAY-Z‘s ongoing ad campaign with Tiffany & Co., the singer has shared a cover of the Breakfast at Tiffany‘s tune. Bey’s cover of “Moon River” arrives with a sweet 90-second clip, directed by Black Is King co-director Emmanuel Adjei. It pays homage to the 1961 film, opening with a shot of JAY-Z plunking away on a typewriter. While Hepburn’s famous recording of the song — penned by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer — is performed on guitar from a humble fire escape, Beyoncé’s rendition sees her take a seat behind a ...

Glass Animals Share New Song “I Don’t Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)”: Stream
Glass Animals have been flirting with pure pop for a while now, and they achieved their first taste of mainstream success with the 2020 global hit “Heat Waves,” which surpassed a billion global streams. As the UK band’s follow-up, they have now shared a new blockbuster hopeful, “I Don’t Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance).” Over a flirty bass line and upbeat synths, frontman Dave Bayley works through a bait shop’s worth of hooks, including a chorus, a couple of pre-choruses, a verse or two, and a bridge. “Don’t wanna talk, baby, I just wanna dance,” he sings with the help of a robotic distortion. “I don’t wanna talk, no more living in the past/ Baby, don’t wanna talk, baby, I just wanna dance/ And I’m not gonna stop ’til I forget what we had.” In a statement, Bayley attempted to sell the...

The two-track single album contains two songs: “LALISA” and “MONEY.” Take a listen below.
