Cults - Total Control

A: Cults
S: Total Control

Cults were the latest band to participate in Turntable Kitchen’s Sounds Delicious series, where artists cover another artist’s album in full. Recent entries in the series have included Pure Bathing Culture, Gems, and Frankie Rose. For their part, Cults - whose most recent album, Offering came out two years ago - took on the 1979 self-titled debut from California new wave band the Motels.

... any moment maybe you, maybe even you.

Katy Perry - Never Really Over

A: Katy Perry
S: Never Really Over

Everybody has their own Mr. Big at one point or another: the person you keep letting in even though it hurts, even though you swore you were done. Instead of shrouding that notion in big trap beats and a tortured rap coo (hey Ariana), Perry jokes about online stalking and offers up her most impressively tongue-tied chorus to date. She makes bad decisions sound enticing. Relate below.

... but once in a while, I trip up, and I cross the line.

Sugababes - Stronger

A: Sugababes
S: Stronger

Remember when we thought this was mediocre pop music and trash talked the noughties for not producing great hits anymore? 2002 is not only close two decades away from today in time, but also lightyears from what's happening in the charts.

... better find your way out of your fear.

Genesis - Follow You, Follow Me

A: Genesis
S: Follow You, Follow Me

If you are a progressive pop connoisseur like me, you must have felt the tide turning for a while. I've been saying the same about Phil as I have been saying about Elton for the past five years and practically my whole life. These guys got cool written all over them. And with Elton's biopic hitting screens and euphoria alike and Phil touring sold out arenas all over Europe, you all finally agree.

... just one single tear in each passing year.

Men I Trust - Norton Commander

A: Men I Trust
S: Norton Commander

Men I Trust have released a new song from their upcoming album, Oncle Jazz. The Montreal band's album was originally due in February but hasn't yet been released. The laid-back and funky Norton Commander (All We Need) follows Numb, which was released in April. Happy Monday below.

... few things we both have keep us alive.

Mac DeMarco – On the Square

A: Mac DeMarco
S: On the Square

On the Square was Mac DeMarco’s third and final single released before his album was out on May 10. Mac mentioned in an interview that he is drawing from his existing work with the overall record title. He is perhaps using this time of reflection to look back on his catalogue. He’s reached his 6th album and he now has his 7 years as a successful musician to use as inspiration. This is the tone for the record and can be used as the motif for each single.

... is this all that you had in mind?

MorMor - Outside

A: MorMor
S: Outside

MorMor's music could feel like the soundtrack of your life. That is if your life is full of nostalgia and this bittersweet sensation of being grateful for being alive, but yet so scared and unsatisfied like something is missing and you don't know if you're ever gonna find what.

... lonely heart, visit me.
