Fiona Apple has been gone too long from our consciousness but thankfully in the past year she’s come back with some good music. Her new song “Hot Knife” has arrived and the video just released and good grief is it hot fire. From the drums to the hummable lyrics, it’s such a good song. Check it out!
One of the best albums to be released this year was Justin Timberlake’s 20/20 Experience. Since it hit shelves, rumors have been swirling that JT had recorded a second set of songs for a new album and today we get confirmation on the 20/20 EXPERIENCE PART 2 OF 2 along with a new single. “Take Back the Night” is the first single from his new album that is available for preorder but you can stream the song below!
Jay-Z has been one of the most enduring MCs in the game managing to subtly shift his lyrics and style to any and every era. That adaptability has lead him to release this latest album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, in an innovative method via Samsung that has already netted him 1 million in sales. It might come as a shock to people but this is the first Jay-Z album I’ve ever listened to all the way through, so it definitely deserves a review.
I love me some Azealia Banks and she continuously rewards me with fantastic music. She has teamed with Pharrell for her new song “ATM Jam” and man is it some hot fire. The beat is twerk worthy, they sound great on the track and it feels like a great summer song. Check it out!
Kelly Rowland, one third of Destiny’s Child and the queen of the sexy feature, has been known more for her appearances on rap songs lately than her solo career. But she’s been working on new material all the while and after releasing several singles, this past week we finally got Talk a Good Game, her first album since 2011’s Here I Am. It took me a bit to get around to this album with all Yeezus seemingly sucking up all the airspace, but after listening to Talk a Good Game, I definitely think it deserves a breakdown.
Between people laying in slices of bread and Miley putting on a grill, I haven’t the slightest clue what to make if this new Miley Cryus video for “We Can’t Stop.” On one hand I am totally here for ratchet Miley as she is thoroughly entertaining. On the other hand this video is kind of a mess, the song is trite and she’s trying a bit too hard. But at least she’s being interesting. Check out the video!
