The song is a major step forward for Keem, as it marks the first major collaboration from the young rapper. While he’s worked on projects like his cousin Kendrick Lamar’s Black Panther: The Album and Beyoncé’s The Lion King: The Gift, “durag activity” is his first official joint track. After being teased last week, the cut has now dropped alongside an accompanying music video.

The new song comes with a flashy music video that’s inspired by the kitschy glamor of Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, too. Check it out below. Musically, “Perfect” is a distorted blaze of rock guitars that sees vocalist-guitarist Missy eviscerating the idea that people must manicure their own social media presence. “Last year, I found myself spending more time on my phone than I ever had in my life… I realized that through years of social media training, many of us have grown this deep desire to manicur...

The legendary electronic duo — comprised of Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons — have just returned today with “The Darkness That You Fear”, their first new single in two years. Stream it below. “The Darkness That You Fear” is equal parts retro dance music and disco-styled vocal coos.

If you s...

It’s called “Smile” and it comes with a saturated music video directed by Jordan Hemmingway. Stream it below.

Singer Ellie Rowsell and the rest of the band penned “Smile” during lockdown as a way to clap back against the naysayers in life who try to put them in their place. As a result, it captures them in a wild, contagious mood. “This is one of the songs we wrote thinkin...

He’s gearing up to drop his new album Class of Cardinal Sin on June 18th, and the latest single, “1991”, might just be his best track yet. On “1991”, Covey mines his personal past for a bonafide hit that sounds like The Mountain Goats covering Phoebe Bridgers. He’s all urgency and emotion, his voice pushed to the front in a way that demands your attention, and his guitar further bolsters that delivery. Throughout, Tom Freeman — the artist behind the moniker — ...

The track serves as an early preview of Escapades, Augé’s upcoming solo LP from Genesis/Ed Banger Records/Because Music.

Stream it below. “Lightning Don’t Strike Twice” is a riveting dose of pub rock set to the tune of class struggles. Across the song’s three-minute runtime, Chubby and the Gang sprint through punk riffs with enough gang hollers and zippy guitar lines to recall Thin Lizzy. That vibe comes to life in the single’s accompanying music video....

Take a listen via the accompanying music video, directed and edited by Lewis and filmed at the Hendersonville Memory Gardens where Johnny Cash is buried, which is embedded below.

While Lewis sings of “what a lie” daily stresses can be, Serengeti questions where our focus lies. “How’s your Instagram these days?” he raps. “Did you get a lotta action when you had braids?” Serengeti des...
