Orville Peck, Shania Twain - Legends Never Die

A: Orville Peck, Shania Twain 

S: Legends Never Die

Orville Peck and Shania Twain — two of Canada’s hottest crossover country icons — have teamed up for a new music video, “Legends Never Die.” The song is featured on Peck’s Show Pony EP, out now via Columbia. In the video, Peck and Twain perform at a drive-in theater with a movie projected in the background, perhaps a reference to the current trend of drive-in concerts associated with the Covid-19 pandemic.

Billie Eilish - my future

A: Billie Eilish 

S: my future

Pandemics don’t discriminate, so as the world shut down and millions retreated into their homes, so did Billie Eilish. my future is the first song she wrote under quarantine, and it finds the young pop star once again in a contemplative headspace. She’s not singing to any former lover - she’s addressing herself. Solitude was a cause for despair on when the party’s over. But now, almost two years later, she’s attempting to find happiness and take it for herself. Relate below.

... know I'm supposed to be unhappy without someone.

Róisín Murphy - Something More

A: Róisín Murphy 

S: Something More

In the years since the dissolution of her ’90s trip-hop duo Moloko, Irish singer Róisín Murphy has become one of the most dependably great dance-pop auteurs around. And on Friday, she’s announcing a new album called Róisín Machine, the disco-house diva’s first full-length project since 2016’s Take Her Up To Monto. In addition to previously released singles like Murphy’s Law, Incapable, and Narcissus, the record will include five new tracks including Something More and is out September 25. Countdown below.

... and boys who ease the pain.

Taylor Swift Feat. Bon Iver - Exile

A: Taylor Swift Feat. Bon Iver
S: exile

After releasing Lover last August, Taylor Swift has returned with her eighth record Folklore less than a year later, offering a daring new vision of her artistry without a bad song in the new batch. On Exile, a Bon Iver duet, Justin Vernon’s gruff voice over soft piano notes a unexpected tone. Vernon sings of betrayal - after the first chorus, he howls in his falsetto - but the crumbling romance on display is prodded at from different angles: You never gave a warning sign, Vernon sings, then Swift replies, I gave so many signs. Swift recorded her vocals for Exile in Los Angeles, while Vernon recorded his in Fall Creek, Wisconsin; the distance is fitting, and lends a deeper layer to the affecting disconnect.

... we always walked a very thin line.

The Chicks - Sleep At Night

A: The Chicks
S: Sleep At Night

The iconic trio formerly known as The Dixie Chicks have released their latest record, Gaslighter, last Friday and it is a tell-all catch up from the last fourteen years. It unravels details, slowly piecing together the events leading up to their shattering intro single in March. Marriage, divorce, children becoming adults, and political turbulence charge through The Chicks’ new collection. Heal below.

... you're only as sick as your secrets.

Nicole Atkins - Domino

A: Nicole Atkins
S: Domino

The fear of unforeseen consequences creeps through Nicole Atkins’ Domino, a sultry, fuzzed-out slow-burner that sounds like a cut from a dusty vinyl record. Snatches of background vocals pierce the static like distant radio signals. With its music video homage to Saturday Night Fever and the Asbury Park boardwalk, Domino embraces the same retro glamour and New Jersey pride of past songs like Brokedown Luck. Nostalgia below.  

... one way is up, one way is down.

Chloe x Halle - Do It

A: Chloe x Halle
S: Do It

As always, I'm the latest guest to arrive at this party which will just make me stay the longest. Do It was the second single from sister duo Chloe x Halle’s album Ungodly Hour. The track has an upbeat sound while simultaneously maintaining it’s cool R&B influences and breakdowns. It gives a lighthearted message to listeners about having fun doing you and enjoying it with your friends by your side. Keep on wishing below.

... and tonight we on a hundred.
