Taking note from Beyonce and all the rappers in the music world, Chicago’s own, Wilco, has released a new surprise studio album. The 11-track project is titled Star Wars and is available for free download for the next 30 days. “Why release an album this way and why make it free? Well, the biggest reason, and I’m not sure we even need any others, is that it felt like it would be fun,” said Wilco frontman, Jeff Tweedy. “What’s more fun than a surprise?” Tweedy continued. Although Star Wars’ free download will only remain until August 13th, the project will be available for purchase on CD on August 21 and vinyl on November 27. Pre-order of the physical release is available now on wilcoworld.net.
Check out the cover art and tracklist for Star Wars below and download the entire project here.
Vince Staples went all out for his latest music video, in promotion of his debut album, Summertime ’06 (read our reviewhere). In the new video, where Staples raps “I ain’t never ran from nothin’ but the police”, Vince Staples gets handcuffed, arrested, has his mug shot taken, and even gets beat up a little by the police. As one of the stand out tracks from his debut LP, the music video definitely does the track justice.
Trey Songz and R. Kelly, The-Dream and The Weeknd, Usher and Chris Brown. There are an unbelievable amount of artists whose similarities to other artists within their genre have sparked the great debate about “who is better” for as long as music has had a place in our culture. Perhaps the genre most afflicted by this phenomenon is R&B. Why? Who knows. It could be because the sheer amount of artists in this genre and its sub-genres that get airtime on pop radio. It could be because their music occupies the same headspace and covers extremely streamlined topics. Or it could be because they sound so ridiculously similar that people are upset that they have to look up a song before they can determine which person’s vocal chords are gracing their ears. I can only hope that last reason is what the least amount of people agree with.
After months of tortuous teasing from Lana Del Rey, she has finally decided to drop the single, and the album’s title track, “Honeymoon”.
The single is a slow and swelling six minute burn that floats along sweet and serene strings. Staying in her breathy, whispery pocket, it seems she is continuing the departure of her more pop-friendly sound carved out on her first album Born To Die, as this new track sonically sounds more akin to her last full length LP, Ultraviolence.
Look for her new album Honeymoon to be out this September and listen to the new single with the same name below.
Nigerian artist Wizkid’s infamous song “Ojuelegba” was discovered by many people after playing on OVO Sound’s Beats 1 radio station last Saturday. The surprise remix with Drake and Skepta premiered on OVO Sound Radio without an announcement beforehand. Today, Skepta released the official audio on his SoundCloud. Listen to the summer jam below.
New York duo, Lion Babe, has been hitting the ground running. As one of our favorite artists to watch this year, ever since their ‘Jump Hi’ single with Childish Gambino, this time singer/songwriter Jillian Hervey and producer Lucas Goodman have their brand new single, ‘Impossible’. The new song premiered on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show earlier this week, and you can pre-order the track now on iTunes, as we all patiently await their debut LP.
During a club performance for rapper Jim Jones’ birthday, Lil Wayne was a target for his former best friend, label head and mentor. While Weezy performed his version of ‘Coco’, where he takes shots at his estranged relationship with Cash Money a Records and Birdman (Baby), Birdman (who was also in attendance for Jones’ birthday) threw bottles of alcohol and water on stage at Lip Wayne. Before a fight eventually broke out, Club Liv officials shut the place down.
Check out videos (with some commentary of what happened) and tweets from some people that were there and saw it all go down first hand. Shout out to KTT for the tip.
