RAYE - I, U, Us

A: RAYE
S: I, U, Us

Raye is an 18-year-old singer out of South London who’s been seriously impressing some seriously impressive people. I, U, Us, is a jubilant kiss-off anthem co-written by Charli XCX and Noonie Bao, who also co-wrote Carly Rae Jepsen’s immortal Run Away With Me.

... tables turn and pages burn.

Say Lou Lou - Stayin' Alive

A: Say Lou Lou
S: Stayin' Alive

Let me make this short and sweet: I can have my Bee Gee's moment, but Stayin' Alive hs never been a part of it. Having said that, I would alos like to point out that the best covers are songs you don't like as an original. So I call this what it is - jackpot.

... and you may look the other way.

IS TROPICAL - Believe

A: IS TROPICAL
S: Believe

It's been a while since an Is Tropical song has found its way onto this page, but Believe is too stunning to be missed. Says the band: We wanted the song and the video to have the same uneasy, restless feel to convey an inner struggle.

... I don't need it anymore.

Leo Islo - Higher Living

A: Leo Islo
S: Higher Living

If it sounds like summer, looks like summer, and makes you feel like summer, it was probably meant to be the soundtrack to your summer. Here to kickstart your Sunday into high tropical gear is Leo Islo from Portland, Oregon.

... go ahead, keep the fiction strong.

David Leo - Down The Hall

A: David Leo
S: Down The Hall

Ever since summer decided to have a comeback, I figure it's our last chance to find a song that will define it. Here from Belgium bidding his case is Mister Leo with a video and song that is as sweet as bubble gum.

... Slap me in the face if it makes you feel right.

Survive - Stranger Things (Theme)

A: Survive
S: Stranger Things (Theme)

Since the TV series is such an overhyped disappointment and probably the most overrated show since Girls, I appreciate the fact that we got at least an amazing soundtrack out of it. Survive will release their second album on September 30.

...

Chromatics - Dear Tommy

A: Chromatics
S: Dear Tommy

Even if the long-awaited follow-up to 2012’s Kill for Love does not yet have a release date, it looks and sounds as if we are one step, or at least one song, closer to the next Chromatics album. Here's the video for the title track.

... I wish I could see the world through your eyes.

Jessy Lanza - Oh No

A: Jessy Lanza
S: Oh No

Aloha from la Canada. Oh No is the first single of the second album by electronic artist Jessy Lanza. The album builds on her debut’s alt-R&B stylings with a combination of pop vocals and electronic, footwork, and R&B production song structures. Enjoy.

... always make it home but you hustle every night.

Bon Iver - 10 d E A T h b R E a s T ⚄ ⚄ (Extended Version)

A: Bon Iver
S: 10 d E A T h b R E a s T ⚄ ⚄

Two Iver songs in a row - because yay! Both are complicated, freak folk explorations that feature Vernon's signature falsetto. The press release describes the new record 22, A Million as part love letter, part resting place of two decades of searching for self-understanding.

... not gonna do you no favours.

Bon Iver - 22 (OVER S∞∞N) [Bob Moose Extended Cab Version]

A: Bon Iver
S: 22 (OVER S∞∞N) [Bob Moose Extended Cab Version]

Get your sweaters out, because there's about to be a new Bon Iver record! Last week at a music festival, the band debuted the album which is called 22, A Million and will arrive just in time for indian summer on September 30.

... where you gonna look for confirmation?

Frank Ocean - Nikes

A: Frank Ocean
S: Nikes

Just a few hours after the release of the visual album, Endless, Ocean's second album, Blond, (formerly known as Boys Don't Cry) has officially arrived. The 17-track LP features a wealth of new material, including Nikes, which dropped yesterday.

... we don't talk much or nothin'.

Frank Ocean - Endless

A: Frank Ocean
S: Endless

It's the moment you feared might never happen: Frank Ocean has finally released a new album, a visual album no less. And just like two buses coming at once, he's got another on the way this weekend too, apparently.

... what can I do to know you better?

Wale Feat. Sam Dew - Love Hate Thing

A: Wale Feat. Sam Dew
S: Love Hate Thing

Uhlala. This Love Hate Thing isn't just smokingly sexy, it's also the opening track on Obama's 2016 summer playlist on Spotify. A playlist as cool as it gets, but then we didn't expect anything else coming from Mister President himself.

... love you then they hate you.

inc. no world - Waters Of You

A: inc. no world
S: Waters Of You

LA brothers Andrew and Daniel Aged have gone by a few names over the years: First Teen Inc., then shortened to Inc. and now inc. no world — an amalgam of inc. and their new record label No World Recordings. Their sophomore album As Light As Light is out September 9.

... become the rivers of me.

Hante. - Living In A French Movie

A: Hante.
S: Living in a French Movie

Everybody's favourite French songstresse is back with an offer that might be tempting at first sight, but if you listen to the lyrics it might make you think twice. Either way, the upcoming EP will be released September 6.

... I’m sinking in a fantasy.

Monarchy - Dance Like Hell

A: Monarchy
S: Dance Like Hell

Sometimes, for whatever reason, there are days in your life that simply go missing. I guess that's the logical oppsite of Groundhog Day, but as long as you've been dancing like hell, let me quote another pop song called No Regrets.

... nothing keeps me here in this world.

Florence + The Machine - Too Much Is Never Enough

http://www.metatube.com/en/videos/316212/Florence-The-Machine-Too-Much-Is-Never-Enough-Official/embed/

A: Florence + The Machine
S: Too Much Is Never Enough

Guess who's back, with three epic songs, recorded for the video game Final Fantasy XV. Too Much Is Never Enough builds beautifully from flutes and harp to a triumphant chorus that, once again, showcases her massive vibrato.

... grant that I can stay the night.

Beginner - Es War Einmal

A: Beginner
S: Es War Einmal

25 years! And that's quite a group anniversary. Get ready for the most musical trip down Germany's memory lane in popular culture. In Hamburg - all the very best, auf Wiedersehen.

... hatten kein Ziel aber fuhren los.

Beat Connection - For The Record

A: Beat Connection
S: For The Record

Last year, Seattle’s Beat Connection released a sparkling album that is so good aka dance music for those who don’t want to break a sweat while doing so. Building off the same effervescent groove, the electro-pop quartet return with a new one-off.

... are you in or out?

Shura - Touch

A: Shura
S: Touch

Welcome to the Shuniverse - the universe where Shura rules and reigns with not only beautifully clever but also delicately stunning pop songs. Touch is mighty fine, but make sure you don't miss the other gems on her debut Nothing's real.

... you wanna touch me but you're too late.

Massive Attack - The Spoils

A: Massive Attack
S: The Spoils


Good morning Internet. Today I give you Cate Blanchett who's starring in an eerie and brand new video by Massive Attack, which was unveiled on Tuesday. The band recently joined forces with Mazzy Star frontman Hope Sandoval.

... and I somehow slowly love you.

Janet Jackson - Nasty

A: Janet Jackson
S: Nasty

Well, Janet's third record Control turned 30 in February, peaking in popularity right about this time that year as it hit No. 1 in July. Today it still sounds as much like 1986 as it does 2056.

... the only nasty thing I like is the nasty groove.

Kano - Another Life

A: Kano
S: Another Life

Oh hello, can I just leave this here with you while you excuse me and I kiss my time travel machine hopefully taking me back to my favorite decade, not to say century. Any one way ticket will do, just get me outta here.

... everything that's gone will never be.

Beedy - OMG

A: Beedy
S: OMG

Here was me thinking I'll copy/paste my lazy start into the week - instead I have to come up with a eulogy for today's song and artist myself. It's very OMG from start to finish, including a dope album cover for Thursdays 7/8c.

... ain't nobody got time for that.

Dustin Tebbutt - Wooden Heart

Dustin Tebbutt - WoodenHeart from Josh Harris on Vimeo.



A: Dustin Tebbutt
S: Wooden Heart

Lauded singer-songwriter Tebbutt has unveiled his infectious new single Wooden Heart, the latest taste to coming from his debut album First Light. Watch the sweet-and-simple video right here, right now.

... you're part of a story.

Charlotte Cardin Feat. Husser - Like It Doesn't Hurt

A: Charlotte Cardin Feat. Husser
S: Like It Doesn't Hurt

Of all the great and greater things the human mind is capable of doing, pretence is probably the bestest. And if that doesn't work you can still pull a Peaches and simply fcuk the pain away. Easy as pie.

... but I can't touch you.

Casper Feat. Blixa Bargeld, Dagobert & Sizarr - Lang Lebe Der Tod

A: Casper Feat. Blixa Bargeld, Dagobert & Sizarr
S: Lang Lebe Der Tod

As visually excellent as it gets comes this German music video, closely paying its tribute to Michael Haneke's Das Weiße Band. Lyrics and sounds are as equally exciting. It's called Hip Hop, in a Rammstein kind of way.

... meine Lust will, dass es uns ewig gibt.

Tegan and Sara - Faint Of Heart

A: Tegan and Sara
S: Faint Of Heart

Hello lovers of pop twin sisters. Here's the latest drop of everybody's favorite heterosexual lesbians. I wish I could hold a lip sync battle contest at work, which would make it a type sync battle, which would be so niche, nobody would attend.

... when it's love, it's tough.

Lana Del Rey - Super Movie

A: Lana Del Rey
S: Super Movie

Lucky us! A previously unheard and unreleased Lana Del Rey song has surfaced online. Super Movie appears to be a reworking of the previously leaked demo On Our Way, which was recorded in 2010 and leaked in 2012. 

... drop me off at the Copacabana.

Wild Beasts - Tough Guy

A: Wild Beasts
S: Tough Guy

Only four more sleeps until Wild Beasts release their eagerly awaited album Boy King and I am equally excited as over the hype already. Either way, the art work has 'buy the vinyl version' written all over it, so what are you gonna do?

... nothing will ever feel at home.
