Last night Jason Derulo, with special guest Jasmine V, performed for the second night of the Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee, WI. Greeting the crowd, Jasmine V introduced herself to Milwaukee with a 8-song setlist, full of some of her best records, as well as a couple great covers. Jasmine opened up with her track ‘One Night’, which features Chicago’s Jeremih. “Stay with me tonight, Baby stick around and we can get it right,” Jasmine sings in her single that was released earlier this year. Later in her set, Jasmine V showcased her voice with a stripped acapella cover of Sam Smith’s hit single ‘Stay With Me’. Highlights of her set, which was complemented by back-up dancers and her brother/DJ Jream, included her performances of ‘Dear John’, ‘Work’ and her track with Kendrick Lamar, ‘That’s Me Right There.’ Jasmine V certainly warmed up the crowd for the night’s headlining performance.

Last night Jack Antonoff’s Bleachers rocked the crowd at The Rave in Milwaukee, WI. Performing a number of records from the Bleachers’ debut album Strange Desire, the energy level never dropped during Jack’s set. The highlights of the night though included Bleachers’ encore performances of his Kanye West cover ‘Only One’ and ‘I Wanna Get Better’. Fans even got a taste of new music as Bleachers performed ‘Shadow of the City’, similarly named after Antonoff’s New Jersey music festival (the shadow of New York City).

Before he brought his energetic performance to the Lollapalooza stage this past weekend, Odd Future’s Tyler the Creator performed a more intimate (but equally wild) set at the Concord Music Hall for an Official Afterparty of Lollapalooza 2015. With an opening performance from the uber talented band, BADBADNOTGOOD, Tyler (alongside Taco and Jasper) gave the Windy City fan’s their money’s worth. Not only did Tyler perform a number of tracks from his latest LP Cherry Bomb, but he performed a number of mixtape records for his day one fans. And if you missed out, don’t worry! Tyler will be back in Chicago with A$AP Rocky in September at the Aragon Ballroom (get your tickets Friday).

The new track is titled ‘Growing Up (Sloane’s Song)’ and it serves as an ode to Macklemore’s new-born daughter, Sloane Ava Simone Haggerty, who was just born 2 months ago on May 29th. Speaking on his inspiration for the record, Macklemore told fans “There is nothing like the joy and happiness that comes from bringing a baby into this universe. She has filled my heart in ways that I never knew were possible.” While this emotional single tides you over, stay tuned as we get more information on Macklemore’s forthcoming album.

Listen to ‘Growing Up (Sloane’s Song)’ below.
